Morning Gap Management

Morning gaps drive traders crazy, because they hurl positions and assumptions into unknown territory. These shocking events also force an immediate re-evaluation of the charting landscape to deal with the altered reward-risk equation. But the extra work pays off, because the gaps may predict big changes in subsequent price action.

Gaps reveal shifts in crowd sentiment through single price bars. They can print anywhere within a pattern or trend, but they tend to occur in several common scenarios. Each type of gap generates unique characteristics related to persistence, response during retracements and impact on price movement.

What is a Momentum Play?

I have received several e-mails this past month asking me what exactly are you talking about when you say if a stock closes strong it could be a momentum play. I must take you back once again to an article that Jon Tait the Fickle Trader wrote back in May. Why is the closing price significant? The strategy is to buy a stock closing strong with hopes the momentum will continue the next trading day. Traders that play momentum will buy toward the close and sell in pre-market or within the first hour of trading the next day.


What is a Momentum Play?

UNCHARTED TERRITORY

When a stock breaks to new highs, how can you tell how long the rally will last? In astronomy, scientists understand why the star that burns brightest extinguishes itself long before one emitting a cooler, darker light. So it is with market rallies. Parabolic moves cannot sustain themselves over the long haul. Alternatively, stocks that struggle for each point of gain eventually give up and roll over. So logic dictates that the most durable path for continued uptrends lies somewhere in-between these two extremes.

SCANNING FOR STOCKS

I scan thousands of stocks each day to find the best opportunities in all markets. The ones that make the cut become setups that go onto my watch lists, where I follow them for buy or sell signals. Each setup has a pattern that expects price to act in a certain way. All I do is wait for the stock to hit the trigger point that defined the scan in the first place.

Technology offers instant access to all kinds of customized market scans. Whether you use an online service or roll your own with a stock database program, scanning provides an effective method to find the best plays the market has to offer.

Trailing Stop Techniques

Most investors and traders spend far too much time focusing on how to enter a stock, and far too little time focusing on how to best exit a profitable position. What is particularly interesting regarding this neglect is that most traders make the vast majority of their profits in a year from just one to five trades that move substantially in their favor. Thus most traders would actually do better to focus in on how to better exit heavily profitable trades than they would to further refine their entry techniques. I would like to briefly go over some of our best "trailing stop" techniques to help traders learn how to exit profitable trades much more profitably. We use a number of trailing stop techniques, but the simple rules of thumb we present here should greatly enhance the trading of most investors.

Mastering Reward vs. Risk

Most traders ignore reward/risk ratios, hoping that luck will save them when things start to go bad. This is probably the main reason so many of them are destined to fail. It's really dumb when you think about it, because reward/risk is the easiest way to get a definable edge on the market house. The reward/risk equation builds a safety net around your open positions. It's designed to tell you how much can be won, or lost, on each trade you take. The secondary purpose is to remove emotion so you can focus squarely on the cold, hard numbers.

Hurricane Dennis takes AIM

The storm, the quickest on record to have reached Category 4 strength in the Caribbean, lost momentum as it cleared Cuba, but had since regained Category 2 status, packing top winds of 105 miles per hour and likely to dump up to another eight inches of rain.
