How it traded

Intraday run. It opened up 6.5% at 3.42, then ran from the open to the high of 4.32 in 353 minutes through a halt.

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.

• The halt at 11:11 a.m.: down 10.0% in the 5 minutes into it, reopened at 3.15, down 12.7% from the last trade before it, then up 8.9% over the next 5 minutes.
