(1)

This screnner is based on the buyable gap up criteria from the book "In The Trading Cockpit with the O'Neil Disciples" by Gil Morales and Chris Kacher. The deviating criterion is the average true range, this is calculated here as 0.6*ATR(14), where 0.75*ATR(40) is recommended, this is due the limitations. How to handle this: 1. it occurs in a fundamentally good and/or leading stock after a consolidation phase 2. volume (EOD) > 1.5*volume(50) 3. gap > 0.6*ATR(14) 4. it should hold the daily low
