Why Analyze GAP with FILTRIX?

🛡️ Realistic Entry Simulation

We don't inflate stats. Our analysis tracks only the first alert of the day for GAP. This simulates a true "Gap & Go" entry at pre-market hours (9:25-9:30 AM), avoiding the trap of chasing a stock that has already extended.

💰 Max Potential (MFE) Analysis

How much is left in the move? On winning days, GAP historically offers an average upside of +1.48% intraday. Our data helps you distinguish between a quick scalp and a runner.

📊 GAP Momentum Personality

With a baseline win rate of 66.7%, GAP shows negative expectancy despite winning more often - average losses (-9.12%) outweigh average wins (+0.62%). This suggests the need for tighter stops or better entry timing.

⏱️ Optimized Exit Timing

⚠️ Caution Advised: GAP shows negative expectancy across all tested intraday timeframes (Best: 60MIN at -2.63%). This suggests GAP is prone to fading after the open, making it a potential candidate for short-selling or quick scalps only.
