GAP

How does one anticipate a gap for a two day trade? What criteria or what market moves do one have to consider when a gap will be eminent?

Stacy....you do not try and anticipate gaps...you trade them when they happen....(if its one of the setups you use)....gaps are what make holding overnight look really stupid if you look at it from a rsik reward perspective - which is the perspective you should loot at any trade from in any case.....Nothing, and I state this categorically, is less risky and potentially rewarding as a gap play. I know people that dont understand them laugh at my evangelical stance on gaps but I think even the most sceptical has seen how they have worked lately

Charty - Yesterdays gap closed - do you anticipate a rally today to close Wednesday's gap down which has not closed yet - or are we aiming for other gaps lower down further in the past you think?
