Thanks Chetron. I forgot about the basic package. I appreciate you covering my blindspots.
One other filter that I use in conjunction with the "Ultimate Previous-Close-to-Open Gap-Up 10+ Cent Bullish Stat Filter" is the following "Days 1 - 30 Bullish Gap-Up Stats" scan. Just insert your stock(s) symbol in the "SYMLIST( )" parenthesis and you will have a six week readout of the stock's daily gap up history:
When you are face-to-face with an impressive string of day-after-day results (e.g., ICLN as of the first week of Jan. 2009) it may embolden you to take the plunge.

Jim,
Do you trade ICLN? If so, how many shares are you able to trade without running into problems? I noticed that its volume tends to be pretty low.
Thanks for taking the time to post your filter and info. I'm very intrigued.

Hi Bill,
I haven't traded ICLN. I haven't checked this particular filter in months.
With real light volume you'd have to keep your share numbers proportionally low. If it were me I'd start with 100 shares and day-by-day I'd work my way up to critical mass.

Thanks, Jim. I was thinking that low was the way to go, but being a newbie I lack the experience.
Thank you also to everyone who has taken the time to generously contribute their knowledge to this forum.

Jim: how did you find ICLN? IS there a filter that will find these runners?

Hi klynn55,
"Jim: you wrote: When you are face-to-face with an impressive string of day-after-day results (e.g., ICLN as of the first week of Jan. 2009) it may embolden you to take the plunge. Jim: how did you find ICLN? IS there a filter that will find these runners?"
I typically use "SORT COLUMN 36 DESCENDING" in the above filter to get the highest percentage performing stocks over the past 6 weeks (i.e., 30 trading days). ICLN came out on top of that scan.
What Chetron did instead was to insert "SORT COLUMN 29 DESCENDING" which yields over a shorter range the highest percentage "hottest stocks" over the past 2 weeks (i.e., 10 trading days). You can find a range that suits your style (e.g., one week/5 trading days or 20 weeks/100 trading days) and adjust the "SORT COLUMN ?? DESCENDING" function accordingly.
Also, don't forget you can click on any of the scan's headings and it will sort that particular column in ascending or descending order.
