  • In our recaps, this is the only day APXC met the small-cap rule.

On the day's lists: the intraday runners. It is here because it was in play on the intraday runners: up 30% or more on $3 million or more really traded, outside the small-cap rule's price, relative volume or float, its high reached $1 or more and it started the day at $20 or under (the rule every page uses).

Halts (none)

The exchange's halt feed shows no halts for APXC that day.

Halt bands that day: the LULD plan's Amendment 18 rules (what that means, LULD calculator).
