How it traded

Gap and go. It gapped up 98.0% to 1.12 at the open, ran from the open to the high of 7.06 in 369 minutes through 27 halts, and held most of the move into the close: it gave back 17% of it by 4:00 p.m.

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.
