Trading the Gaps

[robster970]

That for me my friend is a decent excuse. Sleeping is far better than sitting there and doing nothing.

2.75pts today. Nice conditions. Tight range pre-market was a big indicator.

Good job, Rob!
I was watching, but did not trade, for the second day in a row. One of those funky periods I get every once in a while...

 

[robster970]

Go with the flow. Me too. No point in forcing it if you're not in the mood.

 

[ilir.shkurti]

Long 85

 

[ilir.shkurti]

Stopped.

Huge gap today ilir. Think it was >10pts at open. I just didn't even bother to get set up for a gap, just waited for a break at 1081 and rode the escalator down for a while.

 

[ilir.shkurti]

Good call for you. Just not part of my plan, unfortunately. Win some lose some, so long as net falls at the former. Cheers!

 

[robster970]

NFP tomorrow. Suspect we'll be in for another weird day in the world of trading gaps.

 

[ilir.shkurti]

Will be poised to pounce, at the starting blocks

 

[robster970]

Me too. Unless of course it's > 4pts and then I'll be ready to see how you got on

good odds this one will fill according to my calcs......

 

[jm99]

short and sweet

 

[robster970]

2pts today. The confirmation fo behaviour from pre-market and post NFP was another good signal.

So the question I have is did anybody fade R at 1064ish and take the ride down again?

 

[ilir.shkurti]

First target filed on 8:09 short at 62

 

[robster970]

I didn't realise you traded pre-RTH ilir......

 

[ilir.shkurti]

Entered again 9:31 at 62.75, first and second target filled, now stop two points in the money.
Rob, what is RTH?
Stop two points in the money filled as we speak

 

[ilir.shkurti]

Apologize if trades do not look legit today . Posted only after targets filled.
