The historical breakout library
Everyone shows you the breakouts that worked. Trading Reps keeps the failures in.
3,143 real breakout days from five years of US small-cap history — replayed bar by bar, including the days that broke out and held, gave it back, just missed, or collapsed.
No signals. No stock picks. No profit promises.
The problem
The hard part is not the theory. It is getting to enough charts.
Finding one chart takes six steps.
Pick a ticker, set the timeframe, find the date, open replay, scrub to the time, and start again when it turns out nothing happened that day. Hours disappear before you have studied anything.
You only ever see the ones that worked.
Courses, videos and screenshots are built from examples that paid. The chart that broke the same line and fell apart is the one nobody posts, and there are far more of them.
It looks obvious afterwards.
A finished chart makes every breakout look easy. Live, with real money on it, you hesitate, chase late, or place the stop somewhere you cannot defend.
You do not need another guru. You need more charts than one person can find alone.
What is in the library
Two outcomes, and four different lessons inside them.
Every day in here is a stock that pushed above its recent ceiling. What happened next splits into two groups — and each group splits again, because “it broke out” and “it broke out and held” are not the same lesson.
Moved 20%+ 883 days
618
Closed strong
Broke the line and held near the high into the close.
265
Gave it back
Broke the line, then sold off into the close.
Did not 2,260 days
763
Just missed
Broke the line and finished a whisker under it.
1,497
Collapsed
Broke the line, then fell apart.
Roughly a third of the days that did not work only just missed. That is a different thing to learn from a collapse, and you cannot see it if the failures are not in front of you.
How it works
Open a day. Play it. Draw on it. Go to the next one.
Browse
Move through five years by date, in order, or search a ticker you already know.
Replay
The day plays back bar by bar. Pause anywhere and sit on the bar that matters.
Draw
Put your entry, your stop and your target on the chart. The risk is sized as you move them.
Compare
Move forward one real trading day at a time, or jump straight to a ticker.
What you get
Five years of real trading days, in one place.
Replay, bar by bar
Every chart in the library plays back. Run it, pause it, and stay on one bar as long as you want.
Draw straight on the chart
Entry, stop and target go on the chart itself. Drag a line and everything recalculates.
Three timeframes, one day
Daily, fifteen minute and one minute of the same session, one click apart, so changing timeframe never changes the question.
Chronological, or by ticker
Browse by date across five years, or go straight to a symbol. 1,487 tickers are in there.
Search by name, not just symbol
Company names come from SEC filings, so you can find a day by the company you remember rather than the ticker you do not.
The failures, kept in
Two and a half times more days that did not work than days that did. They are the point, not an afterthought.
Every number a trade plan needs, worked out as you draw.
Put your entry, your stop and your target on the chart. The arithmetic you would otherwise do by hand, on paper, before every trade is done for you the moment the lines move — and it is redone each time you drag one.
- How far the stop sits from the entry, in cents and in percent
- What one share risks, and what the whole position risks
- How many shares that is, and what the position costs
- The R multiple — what the target pays for the risk you took
- Whether that entry would have filled at all
- And whether it filled in time, or late
The arithmetic is automatic. The judgement stays yours — nothing here tells you the lines were in the right place.
Coming next, and not in the product yet
- Filing context beside the day, showing when an offering priced. The filings are on disk; they are not on the chart yet.
- A review of your own decisions across sessions.
- Filtering the library by market-cap band. Market cap is shown on every day today, but it is not a filter yet.
- Filtering by time of day beyond the premarket and regular-hours split.
The difference
The work was finding the days, not drawing the candles.
Anyone can draw a chart. Deciding which days across five years are the same thing, checking the prices are as they actually traded, and putting them in an order a person can move through — that is the part that took the time, and it is already done.
On your own
- Pick a ticker and hope it had a setup that day
- Hunt for the date
- Scroll through years of chart
- Only ever find the ones that worked
- Work the risk numbers out yourself
- Switch timeframes and lose your place
Here
- 3,143 real breakout days, already gathered
- Five years in order, or straight to a ticker
- Every chart replays bar by bar
- 2,260 that did not work, kept in on purpose
- Risk sized as you draw the lines
- Daily, fifteen and one minute of the same day
A note from the person who built it
Built because I had the same problem.
I could recognise the setup once the chart was finished. Finding enough finished charts to learn from was the part nobody had solved.
I spent months doing it by hand — picking tickers, hunting dates, scrolling through years to find one day worth looking at, and noticing that everything I could find online was an example that had worked. So I built the thing I wanted: the days already gathered, five years of them in order, and the ones that failed left in.
Built by a trader, for traders who need more charts than one person can find alone.

Questions
The ones a sceptic asks first.
Is Trading Reps a signal service?
No. It never tells you what to buy, when to buy it, or what to hold. Everything in it is history, and the most recent chart in there is already old.
Does it tell me what to buy?
No. You draw your own entry, stop and target, and the software does not agree or disagree with them. It works out the arithmetic and shows you the day.
How is this different from a general chart replay tool?
A replay tool gives you the whole market and leaves the searching to you. Here the days have already been found across five years, checked against prices as they actually traded, and put in an order you can move through without deciding what to look at next.
Why do the failed breakouts matter so much?
Because there are two and a half times more of them, and because almost nowhere else shows them. Roughly a third only just missed, which is a different thing to study than a collapse. A library of examples that all worked teaches you the wrong shape.
Who is it for?
Beginners learning to read a chart, and traders in roughly their first two years who know the theory but have not seen enough real days. It is aimed at United States stock breakouts, mostly smaller names.
Is this for people who trade long, or people who trade short?
Both, and it is the same library either way. Every day in here is a chart of what actually happened — a stock pushed above its recent ceiling and then either kept going or did not. People come to those two groups for different reasons, and the days that failed are studied as closely as the days that moved. Nothing here tells you which side to take, or that you should take a side at all.
One limit worth stating plainly: the drawing tool places long-side entries and stops only at the moment. You can study any day in the library from whichever point of view you like, but if you work the short side you cannot yet put that trade on the chart.
Can a historical example guarantee future results?
No, and nothing here should be read that way. The library describes what these particular days did. It is not a sample of the market, it is not a success rate, and it says nothing about what any future chart will do.
What is in the beta?
The library itself: 3,143 real breakout days across 1,487 tickers, bar-by-bar replay, drawing with the risk sized as you go, the three timeframes, and chronological or ticker browsing. The items listed as coming next, including filing context on the chart, are not in it.
Is it open now?
No. It is launching soon and the instructional videos come first. The form above records interest and nothing else.
