Hi,
Thank you for your question. I've been wondering where you have been ;)
I had an alert on VRX for a breakout above $18. I've also been following it for awhile because it shown sustainable strength after earnings.
On the day when tech was down big I saw MSFT/ANET because I wanted to check on the big tech and strong momentum names to see what was going on.
My default filter is 5%/500K vol but I can also tweak them up or down depending on the day (whether too many or too few tickers showing up). However, please know that I do not rely on the scanner. In fact, the majority of my trades came from my watchlist and price alerts that I had put in prior.
My scanning process for building a watchlist outside of trading hours is completely manual. I simply skim through daily charts of all stocks trading with at least 500K daily volume.

Hey, how did you catch this trade? Was it on your +- 5% filter and you saw the daily chart breakout and bull flag or did you have it on prior watch?
Is your 5% filter the same: up or down at least 5% and at least 500k and volume or have you added anything else?
If you caught this via scanning the night before what scans do you do?
I noticed you were able to catch MSFT/ANET etc on the selloff days in tech. How did you see those - was it the same as this?
