Yes another another basic check is for 33% or greater gaps with volume under
2x normal - sure sign of a stock split. I've been writing my own
price/volume filters since the mid-80's and I'm amazed at the crap which is
dispensed by the majors I've done business with including Dial Data and
Telescan. On different occasions I sent simple filter code to each of them
and asked why they didn't implement filters - neither replied.

If you ran a data service would you have a computer program that lists any
stock that moves more than 10% on low volume?...of course you would.
Here is a chart of Dupont-a Dow stock... the error has been there for 2
months.
