think gap as a big thrust bar or pluge bar. often I fade a big thrust bar or plunge bar. 80~90% time fade the opening in a gap up 80~90% time go with the gap down that means: 80~90% time short a gap whether gap or gap down. only 10% time you should jump on a gap up only 10% time you should pick a bottom on a gap down I traded lots of gap, you need some fundemental analysis to trade those gaps. 90% time if gap up/gap down, over 30~50%, buy whether gap up/ gap down.
Unfortunately this is incorrect... The mechanics behind a gap..., is not the same as a bar How you trade it is your business.... I see no need to spread inaccuracies RN
Use them if you know how to. I know traders who do. However you can be profitable without bothering about gaps.
