90 min before the open, where can I find a list of stocks Gapping up/Gapping down?

Quote from TheActionKid:

From what it looks like no one here has a good site for the biggest % gappers 90 minutes before the market opens, which is what this thread was about. If you do please post a link
(site doesn't have to be free)

Also, does anyone have any reliable sites for pre-open and after-hours charts.

Thanks in advance.

Quote from Trvlwanderer:

TheRumpledOne created it. A search for fading the gap should do it. You can customize the market to scan (NAZ 100, S&P etc., or all markets). Its a great display and can be tweaked easily to add additional indicators.

I've used "gappers" as an additional strategy the past 4 months (thanks to some great discussion on stockfetcher, mainly TheRumpledOne) The most important thing I have found is "knowing the stock and how it bahaves. For example.....AMGN, BMET, GENZ, BIIB, and SHLD are all stocks that fill the gap over 80% of the time. Those are great odds. Learn the stock and run with the behavior it indicates.

I use no inidicators except RSI (helps or hinders?), just volume, price, and a look at S/R and the pivot.

Stops? You figure this out and let us all know. I use a dollar amount as the stop as well as for my target (ie. loss $200, profit $400). All "gapper" day trades are 2:1 reward to risk for me. The only time it fails is when I deviate from my own damn rules.

Hope that helps.

Action Kid:

If you have a list of, say 10 stocks that routinely gap, why not add them to your real time watch list and watch them move pre-market? Quotetracker will do this as well as scottrade elite. I'm sure TS and Esignal will as well. I know of no site that will show all pre-market gappers. Sorry I couldn't help in that area.
 
The first person to find me a free site that has a list of % gappers will get $50 shipped to them via paypal from me.

Here is what I am looking for for both NYSE and Naz.

Ex:

Stock X +38%
Stock Y +33%
Stock Z +24%
etc...etc...

and also


Stock Q -45%
Stock P -38%
Stock D -27%
etc......etc....

please note: I am NOT looking for volume, i am looking for %!

thanks in advance.

A while back I had an account with MyTrack, they had (market pulse) which showed most gap up, most gap down (dollar or %) for NYSE or NASDAQ.
 
well, i have an account at IB, and saw someone mention IB had a feature like this.

and they do - under page, the mkt scanner.

it's funny - i've never really checked the other things IB offers besides a trading platform, and this is nice...

(yes, it has the pre mkt scanner)
