 Iīve been looking at your gap filters TRO - and thereīs a huge deficit:  where to place stops!!?? too close - too many "re-entries", too far - risk/reward goes dramatically against you..
 
 so,  can you try to create us a filter that finds stocks that:
 
 "fill the highest percentage of gaps WITH THE SMALLEST DAILY DRAWDOWN!!"  (and set the average gap-fill amount, and the average draw down amount)

 and how do I modify your initial gap  screen (below)to filter for stocks that :
 
 "GAPPED UP above the previous HIGH but not more than 2%
 and
 GAPPED DOWN below the previous LOW but not more than 2%"
 thx!!!
 
 /* gap fill statistics */
 
 set{Xgapped, open - close 1 day ago}
 set{Xgapup, count(Xgapped > 0, 1)}
 set{Xgapdn, count(Xgapped < 0, 1)}
 
 set{absgap, abs(Xgapped)}
 
 set{gappedup100, count(Xgapup > 0, 100)}
 set{gappeddn100, count(Xgapdn > 0, 100)}
 
 set{cl1lo, close 1 day ago - low}
 set{hicl1, high - close 1 day ago }
 
 set{fillup, count(cl1lo > 0, 1)}
 set{filldn, count(hicl1 > 0, 1)}
 
 set{gapupfilled, Xgapup * fillup }
 set{gapdnfilled, Xgapdn * filldn }
 
 set{gapup100f, count(gapupfilled > 0, 100)}
 set{gapdn100f, count(gapdnfilled > 0, 100)}
 
 set{gapfilled, gapup100f + gapdn100f}
 
 /* DRAW PLOTS */
 
 DRAW XGAPPED ON PLOT XGAPPED
 
 /* DISPLAY COLUMNS */
 
 and add column gappedup100
 and add column gappeddn100
 and add column gapfilled
 and add column gapup100f
 and add column gapdn100f
 
 and add column cma(absgap, 100)
 and add column absgap 100 day high
 and add column absgap 100 day low
 
 /* SELECTION CRITERIA */
 
 CLOSE ABOVE 40
 AVERAGE VOLUME(30) ABOVE 1000000
 MARKET IS nasdaq
 
 /* SORT CRITERIA */
 
 SORT COLUMN 7 DESCENDING
 
 GAPPED UP above the previous HIGH but not more than 2%
 and
 GAPPED DOWN below the previous LOW but not more than 2%
 
 thatīd be a great help!!
