How it traded

Intraday run. It opened up 1.5% at 2.72, then ran from the open to the high of 10.53 in 291 minutes through 7 halts.

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.
