    If you type Gap into the Search box on this forum, you will find several threads discussing the topic.

    Gaps are a pre-defined scan - on the member's dashboard page, find the Member's Tools box (upper left), slide down to "Reports & More" - read down the list to find "Gaps".

    Here is the code:

    [type = stock] AND [Daily SMA(20,Daily Volume) > 40000] AND [Daily Low > Yesterday's Daily High * 1.026]

    The important part is

    [low > 1 day ago high]

    You can add more conditions from the drop downs on the Scan Workbench.
