    ARXX, Weinstein and current stop placement

    Devising An Opening Gap Strategy for YM

    Just for the record, and for the sake of clarity. I've found 3 sources so far for gap fading techniques that I'd consider legit. (1 ebook and 2 articles) 1 suggests a 6 point profit target and a 17 point stoploss. One suggests entering the trade at 9:35 AM and using a time stop of 9:55 AM...
