I'm no Katherine, but I can quote IBD:
The pivot point is the spot where a rising stock faces the final layer =
of overhead resistance. Once it passes this threshold, there's less of a =
chance it will succumb to downside selling action. It's now free to =
break out and hit new highs. Look for the pivot point to come within 5% =
to 15% of the stock's old high.
To calculate the ideal buy price, add 0.10 point to the highest spot in =
the pullback. Back in the days when stock prices were given in =
fractions, an eighth of a point, or about 0.13, was added to calculate =
the pivot point. However, since stock prices now trade in decimals, =
spreads have narrowed and so has the amount - 0.10 - added to calculate =
the pivot point.

In short, the pivot point is $.10 above the highest point in the handle.

Hi Chris,
A stock hasn't broken out unless it *closes* above the pivot on =
>=3D150% average daily volume. WON suggests, however, that if, intraday, =
a stock hits the pivot price on projected volume >=3D 150% ADV, then it =
makes sense to enter the position. If by day's end it falls back below =
the pivot, you can either sell it outright, or hold if you wish to take =
on the risk.

Subject: [CANSLIM] SHFL Breaking Out
SHFL was a stock discussed a week or two ago. Today it seems to =
be breaking out of it's handle. However, though it is up $1.40 it is $1 =
below its intraday high. Seems to be a little resistance at $25. If it =
fails to close above the left side of its handle, would this be =
considered a failed breakout?
