I got booted because I started my own forum on yahoo!

Then I posted a few things that TS didn't like, Joe Nikolson, president of TradeStation's cell phone number, being one of them.

Many traders called and emailed asking for me to be reinstated.

Instead, they closed out my account because they can choose to NOT do business with anyone.

Sometimes the squeaky wheel gets the grease, sometimes it gets replaced!

But, their decision, was not "bottom line" oriented.

NeoTicker has seen an increase in business. So has EFX Group and MB Trading.

TradeStation has no idea what they started when they kicked me out!

Stay tuned...

I hear that MB Trading provides a decent direct access. Being a former CyberTrader, I would recommend that you give them a try as well.

Well, TradeStation being what they are, you can't blame 'em. I would join the others in the great exodus to the land of (ahem, somewhere) with you at the helm, but I love my TradeStation too much to leave just yet. I wish you a good journey and a string of luck on ure new adventure vis-à-vis endeavor.

Rumpledone, I learn lot from your posting. Thank you very much. I need some clarification. Please see example of ISRG

It closed on Jun 2nd at 117.08 and opened at 116.23 on June 5th. High of the day was 116.94. But closed at 109.87. Can you please explain Fading the gap filter for this example.

Thanks in advance.

$116.23 is below $117.08, so it GAPPED DOWN.

That means you BUY.

So if you bought at $116.23 and the high was $116.94, there's $.71 of potential profit.

Let's say you bought 1,000 shares and took $.50 profit... that's $500!

$500 gross a day is $125,000 a year if you trade 250 days.

MAY ALL YOUR GAPS BE FILLED!

But the question remains as to HOW ure s'pose to have known THAT was the high of the day, namely $116.94. Now that it's clearly printed on the chart, It's easier said than done. But can you bet ure shirt as it unfolds in realtime?

It's the MARKET - NO ONE KNOWS ANYTHING!

You have to TRADE.

So, when I trade, I trade when the statistics favor a profitable outcome.

I don't necessarily wait for the gap to fill to take my profit. I take it WHEN I CAN!!

1000 * $.10 = $100!

Do that with 10 stocks that fill the gap 80% of the time and you make $1000 a day.

Simple.

If column Xgapup is 1 then OpLo is the potential profit had you shorted the gap up at the open price.

If column Xgapdn is 1 then HiOp is the potential profit had you bought the gap down at the open price.

See many losers? NO! Because, statistically, you will profit 4 out of 5 times or better.

Can you lose? Of course! If you are too slow or too greedy that will cause you to lose. The market may just turn against you and cause you to lose. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN! But statiscally, you will come out ahead.

Before you ask when would I stop loss, let me just say you must figure that out for yourself. Use money management to stop you out.

The way I would trade this is to pick the top 5 performers, trade 1000 shares each and exit EVERY TRADE when my daily goal was reached. So if I set a daily goal of $500, I don't care if they are green or red, I would exit every trade once that goal was reached. That is called DISCIPLINE.

And you don't need to watch indicators to determine your exit when you trade that way!

This filter shows the performance of the stocks selected to fill the gap for last session's trades when you run it after the session is over.

So if you are running it this weekend, you will see how Friday's stocks performed.

Legend:

and add column Xgapped - the size of the gap
and add column Xgapup - 1 if gapped up
and add column Xgapdn - 1 if gapped down

and add column cl1lo - previous close - today's low
and add column hicl1 - today's high - previous close

and add column gapupfilled - 1 if gap up filled
and add column gapdnfilled - 1 if gap down filled

As you can see, the odds are way in your favor when you FADE THE GAP!

MAY ALL YOUR GAPS BE FILLED.
