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.
Choose stocks show up on both the Swing Scan and Break Scan Pro.

I picked two stocks for long.
30 - Minute Gap Play
A beautiful pattern !

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.
