Hi.
How do I eliminate large gapper stocks in a scan. I know that eliminating thinly traded stocks is one way. Are there others?

thanks,

If you are talking about eliminating stocks that have gapped from an EasyScan, you could use a Personal Criteria Formula like the following as an EasyScan Condition:

NOT(L > H1 OR H < L1)

This can be adjusted to a specific dollar range as follows (the following is for $0.50):

NOT(L - H1 > .5 OR H - L1 > .5)

You could do this as a percentage as well (the following is 10%):

NOT(L / H1 > 1.1 OR H / L1 > 1.1)

If you are talking about a way to predict if a symbol is going to gap or not, I cannot say. The trainers cannot give settings, interpretation or investment advice.

Thanks. The third PCF is exactly what I wanted.
