Harry, I looked at MTZ and see what you mean, but how would one see this coming? To jump in after 1-3 days of "breakout" makes the entry point too high. It seems that focusing on hourly trade activity would simply miss the bigger picture. How does a trader actually take advantage of what seems obvious in hindsight?

Technically, I would look for a breakout. There are various indicators, such as the breaking of trend lines. Overcoming the 50 day moving average on a high range day is an excellent indicator. Mastec (MTZ) just did that. Institutional traders rely on the 50 day and 10 day moving averages.
