Scanning for Gaps – Looking for the Squeeze

Nov 27, 2017 | Category: AILERON, Altimeter, Commander Series, Education & Training, General, Journal, Videos

Using the power of the Tradestation Scanner, we wrote a quick scan to search for stocks that have seen significant gaps.

Once we have the results we can find opportunities when the stock price breaks above the Altimeter resistance combined with trend changes from Aileron.

The TriggerCharts Indicators are available on the Tradestation platform.
