Scanners

This is the “Baltimore Chop” mean reversion gaps strategy promoted by Dr. Adrian Manz of Trader Insight (see an example video by Manz here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oudRj-Vcv0Q). A client of mine was interested in developing some tools to trade this strategy on ThinkOrSwim, and so I was able to work on this project and get several tools created to make it really easy. After looking into it more, I found the strategy to be pretty intriguing and very different from how I’ve traded gaps in the past, so I thought it might be worth my readers’ time to take a look at it. This is a complete set, which includes the strategy script itself, along with a custom scanner to find the gaps each day, and indicators and columns to help sort and evaluate the gaps.
