  Hi,
 
 Sorry if this has already been answered elsewhere but I couldn't find it.  I'm interested in finding stocks that gapped up between 5 and 10 days ago in one search.  I've tried several approaches without success.  Any ideas?
 
 Thanks!
 
 Allen

  Hi Allen,
 
 Simple gaps can be screened by the following:
 
 Gap up
  	    
 
 Gap down
  	    
 
 However, these screens would conceivably find gaps as small as 1 cent (and more, of course). I'm thinking you probably want gaps of greater significance.
 
 And, since you want gaps that occurred 5 to 10 days ago,
 you might use:
 
 Gap up
  	    
 
 Gap down
  	    
 
 Of course, you can change the % value to your liking; add some price and volume criteria to narrow down the list, and enjoy!!

  On possibility is do something as simple as this and use offset to look back:
 
 { open > close 1 day ago and close > open }
 
 Of course another way is to fill copy and paste this several times in to the same filter and use the days ago to create the range you want. I am sure there is a much more elegant way to do it but this would also work:
 
 { open 5 days ago > close 6 days ago and close 5 days ago > open 5 days ago 
 OR open 6 days ago > close 7 days ago and close 6 days ago > open 6 days ago }
 
 
 I will leave the rest to you to copy and paste.

  Is there a way other than copy and paste.  Say to find gap stocks with say 2 times average volume within the last 30 days, the copy and paste work-around would be so cumbersome.
 
 Thanks in advance for help

  Here is a little more elegant way to do it that does not require the cumbersome copy and paste and it probably the more correct solution:

  The filter written above by DasKapital is what I am trying to do, but it doesn't work!  Can anyone de-bug it?
