Putting it all together
BOOM, BAT, and RAT can all be used together. Here are the steps:
1. If BAT option checked, then determine if a new, stronger, uptrend breakout has oc-
curred.
a. If a new trend isn’t found then the slope will default to a simple linear slope
ranking
b. If a new trend hasn’t been found and Use RAT except BAT is checked then
RAT will be applied to adjust the slope value (either up or down) according to
how much the latest price is above or below the new trend.
c. If a new, steeper, trend has been found, i.e., BAT, and the Use RAT with
BAT option is checked then RAT will be applied to adjust the slope value (ei-
ther up or down) according to how much the latest price is above or below the
new trend.
2. If BOOM is checked, FastBreak will calculate a slope value using the BOOM option
and apply the RAT adjustment if Use RAT except BAT option is checked.
3. Finally, FastBreak will compare all the slopes calculated in the previous steps and
choose the maximum slope for the purpose of ranking the equity.
