Gap Open Play


Hi Everybody,

As we have seen, the Standard Traders had a quiet day yesterday with few automatic setups. This is where the a little knowledge comes in for the Advanced Traders among you.

I have taken about the “Gap Open” play before. This is where we look for a market to reverse at DP sup[port/resistance shortly after the open. As you can see, we had a perfect example of this on the 3min ES yesterday. The ES then rallied nicely to the opposing DP, where a nice +2.8R Profit (ignoring slip[page and commission) was available.

This is a particularly good play when it “falls in line with” the larger degree trend, as this one did (as we say yesterday, the 15min ES was up).

Thanks, Steve
