If you read the threads on THE BUY ZONE, MILKING THE COW and FADING THE GAP STATISTICS, you'll see all the information.
How did I come up with it? Took me 2 years of analysis, trial and error. Actually, the zone part was easy. It was writing an auto trade program to take advantage of the buyzone that took most of the time.
AAPL and stock like it can be "found" using the FAD THE GAP STATISTICS filter or my MILK THE COW CHECKER for TradeStation.
And if you use the RUN FOREST, RUN filter that shows the columns in cents, you can find COWS that way too.
Characteristics are VOLUME, VOLATILITY and DAY RANGE. That's why RIMM and AAPL are my favorite COWS.

Did you have any sucsess with the auto trading? I am interested in what tradestation has to offer, dose it work?
I am seeing that GAP trading is very powerfull, the stock likes to fill in either direction at some point during the day.
It seems like a simple auto trade, how complicated is it, I don't want to spend a lot of time learning auto trading code only to find out that it dosent work very well. Any light on the tradestation autotrade system would be helpfull.
Thanks TRO

Yes, auto trading works but you have to know what you are doing!!
You can NOT assume what you see on the chart is what the computer is "seeing".

TRO,
Thank you for such a great thread.
Some mechanical questions about AAPL today...
Open 96.95.
BZ triggered well after open.
1) So when I see 97.05, I enter a buy order for 97.15?
Relying on price-improvement to get me in?
Then the stop triggered a few seconds later.
2) When I see 96.85, I enter a sell order for what?
96.85 and 'hope' for a fill?
96.75 and 'hope' for a fill?
96.00 and be sure of a price-improved fill?
3) Now, as I type this, the long BZ was entered again.
I try again, right? Since the gap has not been filled
nor has the open + 1.00 been made.

Green candle at blue line.
Enter trade.
Exit trade with profit.
Rinse.
Repeat.
BORING!!
