How do I find stocks gapping premarket?

look at island or instinets website under most active section and youll see all the stocks that are going to open up or down drastically.

The one play that does seem to work very consistently on gap openings on nyse stocks (i have talked about this before), is this:

Stock closes at 50. Before the opening, you see it indicated at 51-51.5 (for example). Then the indication gets raised. And raised again. Last indication is (say) 53-54. I would put out a limit order to short the stock somewhere above 53. The thinking is that generally, the specialist has a pretty good handle on where the stock should open. So I go by his FIRST indication. That was more than a point and a half LOWER than my order to short. Same play works on the long side. And it doesn't matter if the issue opens up or down. It is just playing the stock to go to the ORIGINAL indication on an issue where the indication changes several times. It takes a lot of watching, and the opportunities are not that frequent. But it has proven to be a pretty consistent strategy.

RS7,

If you are not looking at the screen from the time the (pre) market opens on a stock, how do you know what the first indication is/was?

Go to the Favorites->Market Minder menu and select #4: Tal Chain Symbol List. For the Nasdaq, you can either drag $GAPUP-Q or $GAPDN-Q to a Market Minder window.
