GAP Strategies
For out "earnings
plays", premarket 'news driven' plays and sector leaders, gap strategies are some of
the most profitable trading strategies. They are often unexploited and 'old
fashioned' strategies developed 50 years ago have changed to many more variations of the
Theme of Gap Strategies. The first reversal period 9:45 to 10:15 will usually fade the
move at the open. The 30 minute rule doesn't take into account the second reversal after
10:00 that will often turn around the trend set up at the open and land you right in a the
middle of a trend change. Most often we let the stock 'pull back' and instead of
buying the 30 minute high we can buy after 3 bars of lower lows at the very first break
above the last bar high. This might not be before 10:15 when a direction is clearer.
By 10:20, we might expect a countertrend to begin and therefore our second reversal
period might END by 10:30. If by 10:20 we don't have a clear return to the opening
trend, we can expect a strong move in the opposite direction. The longer the morning move
lasts, the more chance for the move to repeat itself throughout the day, especially at
2:00, 3:00 reversal periods.

Looking for
"Crouching Tigers" cup &
handle breakouts, Stocks near big breakout area....etc.
Stocks
can rev up for a run as potential swing and even position trades. Stocks with the
highest technical and fundamental ratings -- Earnings Per Share, Relative Strength, and
Accumulation/Distribution, Volume uptrend are the best candidates for this multi-day
breakouts. They usually trade about 15% below to 10% above their 52 week highs.
Strong stocks that take out old highs and explode to upside,stocks at cup & handle
breakouts, upside earnings preannouncements, upgrade, merger or
contract news. This category includes stocks that are in CONSOLIDATIONS like a coiled snake about to
strike. Our "sink or swim" trades fall under this category and make for
spectacular profit opportunities when they "swim".
