| 5:32 a.m. | First trade 20% above the previous close of 4.75 |

| 3:59 p.m. | Last trade before the 4:00 p.m. close, 7.79, 3.5% below the high |
The shape is a fixed rule, not a judgement: gapped 10% or more at the open, ran 10% or more from the open to the high, and faded if it gave back 30% or more of that move by the close.
