I added a new column to the HotScans screenshot displays because it makes it very easy to see whether the stock gapped and by how much. The last 2 columns on the right now display the stock's gap in terms of dollars and percent change.
I underlined COL as a good illustration of how this display can show that the stock gapped higher by 2% but then fell intra-day by 3.9% to close down on the day by 1.9%. These price changes are displayed in the columns labeled "Previous Per. % Price Chg.", "Since Open % Price Chg." and "Today's % Price Change" respectively.
There are a number of stocks worth keeping an eye on going forward. For example, it will be interesting to see if COF's gap down marks a bottom since it landed on a big area of support and including the 200-day moving average. COL's reversal looks like topping action and comes at a key swing high area.
