🚨 The Scan You Want in Your Arsenal

The setup? Gap-Up Continuation or Reversal.

These are the names that gap up on news, hype, momentum — whatever the catalyst — but then fail to hold those levels and start to roll over. That’s where we strike. I shared this scan in the trading room today, but if you missed it, you can hit me up or just come hang out in the room — I’ll get it to you.

Let’s walk through a few from this morning:


🔍 $LIE – Clean Reversal

  • Alerted at: $30.37
  • Move: Dropped nearly $3 before any real bounce
    This one was picture perfect. Gapped up strong, but couldn’t hold the level and started reversing — exactly what we’re looking for.

🔍 $DQ – Early Fade

  • Alerted at: $23.82
  • Low: $22.61
    Gapped and dropped. Another textbook move. If you were quick on this, there was some solid meat on the bone.

🔍 $FLS – The One I Took

  • Entry: $57.42
  • Exit Target: Around $50.54
    That’s right — this was my trade from today. It worked beautifully. These are the types of setups that, once you see them a few times, you never forget.

🎯 Why This Works

Gap-up reversals give you defined entries, often with tight risk and massive reward potential. They’re momentum plays in reverse — and they play into the psychology of traders chasing highs who suddenly get trapped.

This scan? It filters for the right kind of gappers and alerts early enough to act. I’ve refined it for a while now, and I use it every day.
