Hi,
 
I am trying to create a system to buy or sell the opening gap 
when the gap is>than say 2.5%.   I tried the gapup and gapdown 
functions with a basic statement like gapup>=0.025 ( I believe  % should 
be in decimal form?) and get no trades at  all.
 
I tested on 1 minute data on securities where there were 
several gaps greater than 2.5%.  Maybe I'm setting the % in the wrong 
way, anyway I tried different ways and nothing worked.
 
I know it must be a simple answer but I cannot see it. 

 
I'll appreciate any help.
 
Thanks
 
Alex
