Research for traders who want a more systematic way to find and manage leading stocks
Triple Digit Breakouts
What can we learn from stocks that doubled in 90 days?
Some of the market’s biggest winners look obvious only in hindsight.
Triple Digit Breakouts studies what happened before the move: the characteristics these stocks shared, how they behaved around key pivots, where risk could be defined and how traders could stay involved when volatility tested their conviction.
The research covers 698 stocks and 1,853 instances of a stock doubling in less than three months.
This is not a promise to predict the next 100% winner. It is a practical, data led framework for recognising the conditions that repeatedly appear when exceptional moves begin.
✦ Understand the setup
Study the price, relative strength, volume and market context characteristics that appeared before major advances.
✦ Build a better entry process
Learn how to define an entry, size a position around genuine risk and avoid forcing trades after a move has already become extended.
✦ Hold winners more effectively
Explore volatility aware ways to manage pullbacks, reduce risk when a trade changes character, and avoid selling a potential leader on ordinary noise.
Research you can use in your next trade
Join the list for original research from the book, practical chart studies and early access as the manuscript takes shape.
Breakout research
Deep dives into the patterns behind exceptional stock moves: price structure, relative strength, momentum, volume and the market environments that supported them.
Charts and case studies
Annotated examples of real triple-digit runs — what stood out before the move, where the trade became actionable and how the trend behaved once it was underway.
Risk and trade management
Practical frameworks for entry risk, position sizing, managing volatility and making better decisions when a strong stock inevitably pulls back.
Who is this for
For traders who want more than another stock tip
This is for the trader who knows that finding a good stock is only part of the job.
The harder work is knowing when the evidence is strong enough to act, how much to risk when you do and how to stay with a genuine leader without letting a normal pullback shake you out.
✦ You trade momentum, growth and leading stocks —and want a more structured way to evaluate them.
✦ You want to improve your entries, position sizing, risk management and ability to hold through volatility.
✦ You are willing to do the work required to build a process that fits your own trading style.
✦ You prefer evidence, charts, and repeatable processes to hot takes and hindsight.
Hi, I'm Nigel.
I believe that process and data beat instinct and prediction.
I did not build my approach around predicting where the market will be next week. I built it around studying how leading stocks behave, defining risk before entering a trade, and letting price and not opinion tell me when the thesis is working.
That led me to a simple question:
What do stocks that double in a short period actually look like before they make their move?
Triple Digit Breakouts is the result of that research. It brings together large sample market studies, chart work and the practical realities of managing a live position when the path is rarely smooth.
