Gap trading

I am starting to have trigger problems with my system..I have noticed that over the last couple of gaps we are getting very tight premarket trading...no real exibitions of fear or greed.. As a result my triger is firing without any real tests of the open price or unwinding of possitions allowing one to commit fully to the gap..any sugestions as to how I can improve.

wait for the cash market to open like I do....and then just trade the meat in the middle of the gap...trying to wring the last few cents out of a trade is penny wise pound foolish...dont be a nickname for Richard for a tick!

Dear john, you're pushing 40. Trigger problems are quite common in men of your age. Just relax and count running bulls in your head.

Hi John..sorry to hear about your early trigger problem either try the CIAL system which has worked for many or just try manual practise offline which does take longer but once perfected will ensure an effective trigger system
