Figured it was the Tony Robbins of trading posting some more vacuous bullshit. Had to take him off ignore first to read it. He never disappoints. 100 words of complete rubbish. Immediately back to ignore.
Angry, angry...all angry forum trading people seems and appears like losers and failures in the market, continuously beating their heads against the wall in frustration. Easily short-tempered and excitable and defensive and snappy. It may help you to become more open-minded, and digest some of that 'Tony Robbins vacuous bullshit'...instead of being a linear-minded, close-minded dimwit. "complete rubbish"...rubbish...I take it you're British. Your behavior, or personality traits, reminds me of a Corgi. I gave up coffee, for tea in April. I feel so...British, and Worldly, 2018 ET, Kevin D, all the best, -- no hard feelings. Keep it soft, and malleable,
I don't typically like overnight run-ups when I am long however this one presents an interesting situation. It's possible that we will open within yesterday's range or perhaps just outside of it and pull back inside it. Thus, no gap would be created and we would have an opportunity to move higher throughout the day.
IMHO, the trade for now is short from the 87's, the first target yesterday's 57.25 low, and if trades below the half figure, then 2343's down to 2332. Good luck.
Just sharing my view. Wouldn't expect to persuade anyone else to abandon his or her view for mine. Good luck to you today.
I understand how you are defining gaps. You might find it helpful to refine it a bit more so that you distinguish between gaps where the opening print represents a gap from the prior close but is still within the prior day's range, and those gaps where the opening print is above or below the prior day's range. I know you only place significance on the latter, but there is tradable information available with all gaps - whether the open is within the prior day's range or not. All gaps are not created equal, imho. Best to your trading.
