Don't you just love statistics?

It looks like this filter counts minor gaps up and down. I'm about to modify it to ignore gaps up or down less than 2% to filter out some of the noise. IMO, if a stock gaps down 1% and happens to fill, that is not very significant. If you have a version of your filter that already does this TRO let me know. I majored in Computer Science but prefer not to code unless necessary.

Is there any sort of debug mode on the stockfetcher compiler?
set{Xgappedpercent, ((Xgapped / close 1 day ago)*100)}
I don't know what's wrong with this syntax, but this line makes the filter return 0 matches.
Here is my little mod though to only count stocks that gapped down or up more than 2 percent:
set{Xgappedpercent, Xgapped / close 1 day ago}
set{Xgapup, count(Xgappedpercent > .02, 1)}
set{Xgapdn, count(Xgappedpercent < -.02, 1)}

You can only have 1 operator per set statement.

Ah, thanks TRO. Do you find that Nasdaq has the best gappers?

I just like how NASDAQ stocks trade.
NYSE is too slow on the confirmations unless you trade them on an ECN.

by the way Rumpled - what about spreads? trading e.g. BIDU and AAPL is quite a difference . so what do you use for e.g. the buyzone LONG entry - the latest "ask" or "last"??

The buyzone stays the same all day long.
Open + .20
- LONG ZONE
Open + .10
Open
Open - .10
- SHORT ZONE
Open - .20
Use limit orders.
Forget the spread.
If you don't see how this works, DON'T TRADE IT! I don't say this to be rude but this is so simple either you see it or you don't. NO AMOUNT OF EXPLANATION is going to change that.
Please note that NO INDICATORS were harmed in making this chart...LOL!

A buddy alerted me to SNDK.
Gapped DOWN, went into LONG ZONE and then TANKED!!
Notice how using the BUYZONE keeps you on the right side of the trade.
EVERY BIG MOVE MUST PASS THROUGH THE BUY ZONE.
