I think its a littel much for me to try and catch break out spikes inerday------I do have a job to do and I can not do both.

I am back on the swing thing for this week.....playing breakouts for more than 10 min.....

new filter and am sure some has done ths before......playing the bounce on big gap downs.

Fetcher[/* GAP down swing */
set{down, gap + 0}
down < -12
add column gap
close above 1
Average Volume(30) > 500000
]



I am going to check the news to make sure its not some kind of accounting issue.
