How it traded

Gap and go. It gapped up 32.8% to 6.89 at the open, ran from the open to the high of 9.35 in 300 minutes, and held most of the move into the close: it gave back 11% 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.

The day in numbers

• From news to the move: the first trade 20% above the previous close came 8 hours 24 minutes after the latest news item before it (Seeking Alpha, Sep 2, 7:44 p.m.).
