After our [first post of this series](https://big-xyt.com/12-days-of-trading-day-1/) where we highlighted three stocks with large price reversion before and after the close on 30th November, we had several enquiries asking if we have an easy way to identify these moves. 

When using data analytics to support trading decisions, one can try to gain an insight from a snapshot of information to simplify something complex or often, more valuably, to identify a trend or pattern.

Either way it is like a game of I Spy.
