Buy at market close, sell at the open the next session.

Statistics in your favor.

TRO,

The last filter you posted is based on this strategy, you said, "Buy at market close, sell at the open the next session. Statistics in your favor."

Okay, I can see the logic in that, and it's a very simple system to use (easier than fading the gap), but I have two questions:

1. Would it be better to take trades where the stock had the most gap ups, such as 80+ out of 100, or instead where the average gap was the highest, the MA(absgap,100) column, right?

2. Is there really any evidence to show that if a stock had a lot of gap ups or large gap ups over the past 100 days, that it is likely to continue following such a pattern in the future? I wonder whether the opposite might actually be more likely, since statistical anomalies tend to even out over time.

Any thoughts?

1) You pick the top stocks out of both categories.

2) NO. The stocks are on the list because they exhibit these tendencies over a period of time.

HTH.

...was really more of a conclusion than a "theory" !

Apparently, Mark Crisp and Avery (TheRumpledOne) Horton are trying to market the "Fading The Gap" method.

...here's a thought for ENTRIES...

...use the "OOOPS Trade" criteria for filtering...VERY NICE..."Fade The Gap" plays !


The "OOOPs Trade" is a Larry Williams set-up...LBR also uses this really nice "Fade The Gap" trade set-up !!!

-------------------------------------

Very simply...the trade set-up IS......

...and this is from the LBR website:



"What is an "Oops" Trade?

"Oops" is an expression originally coined by Larry Williams. The setup occurs when the opening price gaps outside the previous day's range. A buy (or sell) stop is placed just inside the previous day's range in case the market then closes the gap, indicating a reversal. The trade is best treated as a scalp trade and exited before the close. This pattern has no long term forecasting value."

---------------------------------------

I love this "OOOPs" set-up !

It DEFINITELY IS a moneymaker !!!

You could EASILY use TRO's "Fade The Gap" scan...and APPLY the Larry William's "OOOPs Trade" criteria to the symbols that are returned...and make a very good living ! IMO

All in my opinion !!!
