Can someone please help me write a few filters. I'm trying to decide whether single day percentage gain on a stock is a predictor of whether it will gap up the next day. I would like to look at relatively high single day gains like 25%, 35% or 50%. Also I would like to see whether having a high average day range makes a difference or not. Also a price between $1 -$10 would be nice for the test.

So in words, I need help writing a filter that I can backtest for the following:

25% single day gain stocks- percentage of gap uppers next day
35%......etc
50%......etc

likewise adr can be taken into account:

25% single day gain stocks/ with average day range(10) > 8: percentage gap uppers next day
35%.....etc
50%.....etc

Is it possible to make a gap prediction filter or not? That is the question.

Johnny -

The very best way to "predict gaps" has always come off the "Bollinger(10) Squeeze." Look for squeezes that have a positive Weekly RSI(2), and make sure price or the open is near the bottom band, and also incorporate FI(2) increasing as well as Slow Stochastics(5,3).

I like to look for companies with this set-up that are about to report earnings. That's 1-5 days prior to earnings. These are the best candidates for major pops. Look at MMM, BG, and GR today (7/24/08) all coming off a squeeze on a down day. Look for gap DOWNS tomorrow for the likes of...CMO, CELG, and EMN.

Now, understand that earnings as a whole, (nationally) isn't going to be very positive, so take advantage of all the gap "downs" as much as posible. Just reverse the technicals above. It's as simple as that.

also, if anyone is willing to help me write the filter, I would like a way to test each individual stock for the percentage of gap ups when it has made a certain criteria gain (a variable that can be changed)

thanks to the programmers!

you didn't get those filters from me! I don't know where you got them, but those filters look about as dumb as "Johney's" criteria question in post #1 in this thread! LOL...Please don't put my name on something like that again okay?...
