Gaps in stock prices

Hi Quantshare,

Just a question as I am trying to work out the best way to avoid a stock if it has gapped up/down by a significant amount in a past period.

At the moment I am using the following code:

Rule1 = (GapSize(30)) >= (0);

I assume this code means been that there are no gaps (0) in the last 30 days. Is this the correct code? Is it also possible to quantify what size the GapSize is in the lookback period?

Thanks very much for your help.

The rule you used should return stocks that either had a gap up or no gap at all (=0)
I suggest you use that function and plot it in a chart to better understand it and have a visual confirmation.
