Buy at market close, sell at the open the next session.
Statistics in your favor.
MAY ALL YOUR FILLS BE COMPLETE.
P.S. THEN YOU CAN FADE THE GAP... LOL!!

Funny that there are 37 pages of posting without anyone coming up with this approach to the filter!
A thing to consider though: When selling at the open the spread can be quite large unless you trade highly liquid stocks. I used settings that look for stocks between 5 and 50 and avg 30 day volume above 3 million. The highest gappedup returned is 72 times out of 100, which would hardly qualify as a candidate in the regular use of the filter.
As a matter of fact when using the filter this way wouldn't you prefer stocks that gapped up but tend to NOT fill the gap afterwards?

Here is a modified MTC filter that can be used for the "buy at the close-sell at the open filter"
After all when playing this strategy I would not at all be interested in whether the gap is to be filled or not, the edge would be that the stock has a statistical tendency to gap up more often than to gap down. Run the filter and sort the gapratio column descending. The higher the better, sort ascending for "short at the close-cover at the open" strategy.
Note that MAabsgap(30) and absgap-6weekhigh are in percentage in this filter. The columns filluppct and filldnpct should officially be multiplied by 100 but I never bothered.

Rumpleone or mahkoh is it possible to find the one which is gapping up the most by percent ?
