    I just found your thread and it looks pretty awesome. I don't understand why there aren't more contributors? :confused:

    Also, I didn't see a post for Friday the 13th. Did you trade?

    Also, are you and Geez the same person? Didn't Geez start the "formerly a 70k bet" thread?? :confused:

    - Perfect morning gap play
    - Whole market gaps down and tanks
    - FE a strong gap up and strength
    - Look for an entry when SPY turns
    - SPY turns, FE sets up HL on the 1min.
    - out +0.53
