Gajjala: Day-Trading Watchlist

Read the study: The Flag Carries Information, the Recipe Doesn't: The Gajjala Day-Trading Backtest

Methodology & criteria

The list a day trader starts the session with. Goverdhan Gajjala won the 2023 US Investing Championship with a single setup — bull flags on 5-minute candles in small stocks running hot that day. His shortlist is settled before he looks at a single candle, and that shortlist is what we pull together for you: the daily selection, not the entry signal.

What this scanner checks

  1. Small-cap price range Required

    The previous close sits between $0.50 and $100. Below that the spread is wider than any move; above it, stocks rarely travel this far in a single day.

  2. Enough turnover Required

    At least one million shares change hands on the signal day. Without that volume, nobody gets back out of a meaningful position.

  3. At least +25% during the day Required

    The intraday high sits at least 25% above the previous close. That is the move Gajjala works with - not the quiet trend, but the day a stock breaks out.

  4. What this list does NOT check Intraday

    The actual setup only forms inside the day: impulse, flag, break above its high. That takes minute data, and minute data is not in this list. It answers the question that comes first: where would you even have been looking that day?

A hit stays on this list for five trading days. The "Signal Age" column shows how old each one is; 0 means the most recent trading day we evaluated. The "check this jump" badge marks days whose jump is larger than a stock split can explain. Source: price data. · No global trading filters — this strategy checks the entire stock universe purely against its own criteria (mega caps over $50B included).

Important: Day trading carries the highest risk of loss of any style, and our own calculation put this recipe in the red after costs. This is a research list, not a buy signal - and certainly not a recommendation to trade this way.

The Criteria in Detail

The three required criteria of the daily selection

  • Previous close between $0.50 and $100, measured on the unadjusted price - a day trader trades real prices, not a dividend-adjusted series.
  • At least 1,000,000 shares traded on the signal day. What counts is share volume, not dollar turnover: for a $2 stock a dollar threshold would be an entirely different hurdle than for a $60 stock.
  • The intraday high reaches at least 1.25 times the previous close. Whether the price holds that level does not affect inclusion - the "Intraday High vs. Prior Close" column reports the peak that was reached.

The intraday setup the list does not capture

  • Impulse: at least two consecutive green 5-minute candles. Then a consolidation of three to ten candles that stays in the upper part of that impulse and does not exceed its high - the flag.
  • Volume during the flag falls to at most half the impulse volume. The entry comes on the break above the flag high, not before.
  • Exit by plan: stop at the flag low and never more than 4% below the entry, stop moved to break-even from +1.5%, half the position sold at +8%, the rest trailed along the 9-period line - and everything flat by 3:55 p.m. New York time. Nothing is held overnight.

How we calculate

  • The previous close is converted split-safely into the price basis of the signal day. Without that, every 2-for-1 split would look like a 50% crash and every reverse split like a breakout.
  • Trading days without turnover carry no price and become neither a signal day nor a comparison basis. If more than a week lies between the previous day and the signal day, the day drops out as well - the "previous close" is then no longer a basis for a daily move.
  • A daily jump that no stock split explains is flagged rather than discarded. In daily data a genuine move looks like a price error; throwing it away throws away the most spectacular days. The badge says: this one is worth a look at the chart.

What our calculation found

  • Across the full history from January 2004 to July 2026, after costs of 0.2% per side: 1,459 trades following the full bull-flag recipe, a 19.0% hit rate, +0.007% per trade on average, profit factor 1.008 - effectively a wash. Over the trailing twelve months alone it is 239 trades at -0.15% per trade, clearly in the red.
  • Before costs it stood at +0.32% per trade. The strategy therefore lives and dies on execution - with market orders in small, fast-moving stocks that is not a side issue but the heart of the matter.
  • Measured on the same trading days: buying blindly as the +25% mark was crossed lost 0.83% per trade, and a random intraday entry lost 0.38%. Waiting for the flag was therefore clearly better than either. Across ALL verified candidate days, a random entry came to -0.44% and a blind buy at the mark to -0.77% per trade: the candidate day on its own is no edge, only the shortlist.
  • Two caveats belong with this: reliable minute data existed for only 60.8% of the identified signal days, far fewer in the early years - a gap that flatters the strategy rather than hurting it. And the free-float filter Gajjala himself names could not be reproduced historically, so we left it out rather than guessing at it. Both are covered in the study.

Terms in This Scanner Explained

(14)
ADR (Average Daily Range)
The average daily swing of a stock in percent - measured over 10 or 30 trading days (columns "ADR 10D/30D"). An ADR of 5% means: on a normal day the gap between the intraday low and high runs about 5%. Traders look for movement - that is why stocks with an ADR under 1% are filtered out globally. Scanners that run without the global filters still include them; that is noted below their hit list. Not to be confused with ADR meaning "American Depositary Receipt" (a US certificate for foreign shares) - here ADR always means the daily swing.
AI Classification
Our company-by-company assessment of the AI boom based on SEC filings (the last four quarterly 10-Q reports and two annual 10-K reports): "Sells AI" (AI is a revenue source), "Threatened" (AI is a concrete business risk), "Uses AI" (operational use), or "Neutral" (no material AI exposure). Every classification requires at least two direct quote citations - otherwise the column shows "-". Not a quality judgment or a buy recommendation; the full file is on the stock page, methodology at /stocks/ai-rating-methodology.
Analysis (Full Company Analysis)
If the Analysis column shows "Read," there is an in-depth TickerGuard company analysis for this stock: business model, scanner findings, quarterly results, evidence from SEC filings, plus opportunities and risks. One click opens it directly.
Avg/Yr 3Y (Average Annual Return)
The stock's average annual return over the past 3 years. Shows at a glance whether a stock delivers over the long run or just had a short hot streak.
Earnings Date
The date of the next quarterly earnings report. Price gaps in either direction are common around this date - that is why we color it red when it is 7 days away or less, and yellow when it is 14 days away or less: elevated risk for fresh positions.
EPS (Earnings per Share)
Quarterly earnings divided by the number of shares outstanding. The most important growth metric: if EPS rises strongly over several quarters, the company is earning more money per share.
Free Cash Flow (FCF)
Operating cash flow minus capital expenditures - the money left over for everything else (debt paydown, acquisitions, or buybacks). Consistently positive free cash flow is one of the most honest signs of a healthy business model.
Funda Rating (Fundamental Rating A+ to F)
Our proprietary fundamental rating from 0 to 100 points with a school-grade rank from A+ to F. 50 points is the average across the universe, 100 the best possible score. Every stock is scored against all others by percentile: growth in earnings and revenue, earnings surprises, analyst estimates, and quality criteria such as margins, cash flow, and balance-sheet strength. Grades: A+ from 95, A from 75, B from 55, C from 45, D from 25, E from 5, F below — A/A+ are the fundamentally strongest stocks in the universe.
Market Capitalization (Mkt Cap)
The market value of the company: share price x total shares outstanding, shown here in billions of dollars. Micro caps (< $0.3B) are small and volatile, mega caps (> $200B) are heavyweights. Our scanner universe is deliberately capped at $50B - we look for stocks with room to run. The cap does not apply to scanners that run without the global filters; that is noted below their hit list.
Net Margin
How much of revenue is left as profit? Net income divided by revenue, in percent. A 20% margin means: out of every dollar of revenue, 20 cents is left as profit. Rising margins are a strong quality signal.
Operating Cash Flow (OCF)
The cash that actually flows into the company from day-to-day operations - without accounting effects such as depreciation. A company can report book profits while still burning cash; operating cash flow reveals that.
Piotroski F-Score
A balance-sheet health check developed by Joseph Piotroski: 9 yes/no criteria covering earnings, cash flow, leverage, and efficiency produce a score from 0 to 9. Scores of 7 or higher are considered financially very solid, scores under 3 a warning sign.
Sector & Industry
Two levels of industry classification: sector is broad (e.g., Technology), industry is narrow (e.g., Semiconductors). Many strategies watch industry strength, because strong stocks are almost always found in strong industries.
Stage (Weinstein Stages 1-4)
Stan Weinstein divides every price chart into four stages: Stage 1 = basing (sideways after a downtrend), Stage 2 = uptrend (the only buying stage), Stage 3 = topping, Stage 4 = downtrend (avoid, or short candidate). Measured against the 30-week line (150-day moving average) and its slope.

Frequently Asked Questions

The list a day trader starts the session with - and specifically the one we back-tested for you. Goverdhan Gajjala won the 2023 US Investing Championship with a single setup: bull flags on 5-minute candles in small stocks running hot that day. Before he looks at a single candle, his shortlist is settled.

All scanners are recalculated daily across the entire stock universe — most recently on September 23, 2026. The data basis is fundamental data and SEC filings (10-K annual reports and 10-Q quarterly reports).

Currently, 44 stocks pass this scanner's criteria (as of September 23, 2026).

No global trading filters — this strategy checks the entire stock universe purely against its own criteria (mega caps over $50B included).

It shows the stocks a day trader starts the session with. Goverdhan Gajjala won the 2023 US Investing Championship with a single setup: bull flags on 5-minute candles in small stocks that are running hot that day. His shortlist is settled before he looks at a single candle, and that shortlist is what we reproduce: the stock closed between $0.50 and $100 the previous day, at least one million shares changed hands on the signal day, and the price traded at least 25% above the previous close at some point during the day. We calculate on raw prices, because a day trader trades real prices; only the previous close is converted split-safely into the price basis of the signal day, otherwise every stock split would pass as a price jump. What this list explicitly is not: an entry signal. The trade only forms inside the day - an impulse of at least two green 5-minute candles, a quiet consolidation in the upper part of that impulse on falling volume, entry on the break above its high, a stop at the consolidation low and no more than 4% below the entry, a partial sale at +8%, the rest trailed along the 9-period line, everything flat by 3:55 p.m. New York time at the latest. A daily list cannot capture that part. We back-tested the full recipe over 22 years, from January 2004 to July 2026, after costs of 0.2% per side: 1,459 trades, a 19.0% hit rate, +0.007% per trade on average, profit factor 1.008 - effectively a wash; over the trailing twelve months alone it is 239 trades at -0.15% per trade. Before costs it stood at +0.32% per trade - the strategy lives and dies on execution. Two comparison runs on the same trading days put that in context: buying blindly as the +25% mark was crossed lost 0.83% per trade, and a random intraday entry lost 0.38%. Waiting for the flag was therefore clearly better than either - just not good enough to earn back the trading costs. Measured across all verified candidate days rather than only the ones with a flag, the verdict is even plainer: a random entry lost 0.44% and a blind buy at the +25% mark lost 0.77% per trade. The candidate day on its own is no edge; it is the shortlist a recipe still has to do something with. A hit stays on the list for five trading days. A hit is a find, not a buy signal.
