High - Low Bands: Closing Two Positions 


Gapper's Eye utilizes our original unique stock scanner, Break Scan, and sophisticated chart software, CQG. With nominal fee, the Break Scan is available to our members.  

The Kamikaze Gap Play was introduced to the U.S. traders in the August 2005 issue of Active Trader Magazine.   

 



The Nasdaq gapped down on the open. Because of three consecutive down bars already, this is not time to short. As I expected, the index formed an up bar.

High - Low Bands Gap Play Watch

This strategy can be applied effectively by using the Swing Scan. As the name implies, this system scan stocks for swing trading. Of course, these stocks are suitable for intraday trading, too. Don't just concentrate on stocks. Be sure to follow the index.

Swing Scan Watch

Each figure shows the size of the gap, the order of moving averages, the new high or new low in the past five days. The trigger indicates the buying and selling pressure. We do not hold overnight positions more than five days. A long position will be closed when the stock gaps down. (Sometimes, the position is liquidated on the second gap-down.) The opposite rules applies for closing short positions.   

 



I expected a doji or up bar today. As I said, the index has already too many consecutive down days. This is not time to short. 

 


But, I decided to short this one. It has too much of a good chart pattern to miss. Also, two of my overnight positions were profitable.
