Episodic Pivot (classic)

An outsized one-day move on a volume explosion: a 5 point move on a million shares for higher-priced stocks, or an 8% move on triple average volume for the rest. The day a neglected stock's story changes.

((C - C1) >= 5 AND V > 10000 AND C >= 62.50 AND V > V1) OR (((100 * (C - C1) / C1) >= 8 AND V > 3000 AND (100 * V / AVGV100) >= 300) AND C > 1)
Run it on tonight's close across the S&P 500 + Nasdaq 100, or make it part of your evening routine.
