Trading opening gaps - Trading-Lab

rookie · #1 08-29-2007, 04:15 PM

I'm considering adding morning gaps trading to my strategies. I would like to hear from traders who already trade gaps and know if there are tools or services over the internet which show which stocks are gapping from previous day's close. Also, what is your money management technique when trading morning gaps?

pieces of software like Tradestation have this capability already built-in.

when you say "morning gaps trading", do you mean getting filled at the NYSE open print price? If that's the case, that's a strategy on its own. It's called "opening only". The rationale behind it is that you want to be on the same side as the specialist so you can fade the move as he does.
