 Have you considered following up on gappers/ early runners to find candidates that meet your criteria. You could run a SF query at 10:30 such as
 
 Fetcher
 [set{var1, open - close one day ago}
 set {var2, high-close one day ago}
 close between 5 and 10
 var1 > .10
 average volume(30) > 500000
 add column var1 {Gap}
 add column var2 {High}]
 
 I do this between 11:00 and 11:30 EST using 3 min charts and BB (40 , 2) and BB (40, 1). I've noticed that early runners that retrace to a swing low just as the BB's are constricting after expanding due to the early run up sometimes resume their move up at that point.
 
 The scan I use turned up NTES and PRAA Friday. They resumed their move up at 11:30 after gapping up at the open. Stoch 28,1 crossed 50 at 12:00 or so.
 
 The filter above (looks for one digit stocks) turned up MOT which went up later in the day. I feel the candidates need to be moving on news related (earnings etc) reasons and not just moving with the market.
 
 No holy grail but this set up provides a good visual key to look for as I'm scanning charts

 I see what you mean. NTES went up after crossing above 50. So did PRAA, even though stochastic28,1 wasn't a smooth dip to 20. I'm going to keep my eye on this and see...

 Chet will SF find VAR4?
 
 SET{VAR1,DAYS(slow stochastics (28,1)above 80,100)}
 SET{VAR3,DAYS(slow stochastics (28,1)below 20,100)}
 SET{VAR4,DAYS(VAR1 and VAR3, are same day,100)}
 
 DRAW slow stochastics (28,1)
 
 and add column slow stochastics (28,1)
 and add column VAR1
 and add column VAR3
 
 close above 1
 close below 10
 volume above 1000000
