Intraday Trading With Hatch #3


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 opened flat.

The green dot indicates the opening price. We have to watch out for a reversal. 

 

Let's check each daily chart.


This was the only trade right after the open.



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.   

 

Hatch #3 calculates how many shares we can trade. 

 

+1.49point ・ Up $372

 

-0.32point ・ Down $160
 

Total profit is $212.

 

 

These are four stocks with loosened up parameters.

-0.61point ・ Down $305


+0.19point・ Up $95
 

-0.32point ・ Down $80
 

 

+1.49point ・ Up $186

In this case, we are down $104. Remember, these are stocks without strict screening conditions.

 

 

Now, adding NVDA profit, our total profit is $356.

 

 

 

The Nasdaq formed a narrow range down - bar.

It appears the index has cleared the resistance level.
