What the scanner showed
VEEA gapped +29.4% from its previous close of $3.33 to its first trade, $4.31 at 04:00 ET. Run over this session's stored bars, Traderly's Gap screen lists it at 04:05:52 ET at $4.10, −5.0% from its open with RVOL 96.7× on 101K shares. It is the third of 3 stocks the screen lists at that minute, and one of 5 it lists before 09:30 ET.
The Gap screen came into use on October 7, two days after this session. Traderly's market data is delayed 15 minutes, so a live user running the screen would have seen that listing from about 04:20 ET, still showing the 04:05 ET price. Replay shows it at 04:05 ET itself.
What it did next
VEEA first slid to $3.87 at 04:24 ET, −5.5% from its listing, the lowest it traded after it appeared. By 04:51:49 ET it was back above its open, and the Default screen, run the same way, lists it then at $4.44, +3.1% from its open, with RVOL 185.7× on 948K shares.
The run came later in the day. VEEA peaked at $6.78 at 14:54:14 ET, +57.3% from its open and +65.6% from its listing. It closed the regular session at $5.70 at 16:00 ET, +32.3% from its open and +39.2% from its listing, and eased after hours to $5.34 at 20:00 ET, +23.9% from its open.
How to read a gap like this
VEEA shows that a gap and a % change are two different numbers. The gap runs from the previous close to the first trade, and VEEA's +29.4% met the Gap screen's gap filter from 04:00 ET. Its % change runs from that first trade, and at the listing it was −5.0%: the stock sat below its open while still up on its gap. The Gap screen lists it on the gap, with its price inside the screen's band and an RVOL of 96.7× on just enough shares to pass the volume filter. Screens that look at % change from the open, like the Default screen and Top Gainers, show it only at 04:51 ET, once it traded above its open.
Neither listing says where the price goes next: the high came in the afternoon, long after both. The premarket gap scanner settings guide covers each of the Gap screen's filters, and the relative volume guide explains what RVOL measures and why it can run that high in premarket.
