I try to figure out "what is actually going on" by observing the price action of the stock. also the only way I know a stock "gapped profitably" is if I can figure out the momentum of the opening correctly and again that is only by observing opening price action. I'm not right 100% of the...

Pre-Market Gap Stock Watchlist for June 6, 2005 MONDAY: Gap Downs: TEVA RIMM SEPR SNDK UTHR ATYT Trading Guidelines: 1. Open up Time and Sales windows on each stock listed. 2. Watch the price movement when the market opens at 9:30am 3. You want to see "violent price...

No, not exactly/completely. I'm just as likely to SHORT a Gap Down as to go LONG. Go in the direction of the violent price movement if one exists at the opening. Observe the time and sales to decide: 1) if you should even be making a play (If you see no "violent price movement" after 5-10...

I don't want to bad mouth Trendfund, but their strategy of buying a Gap Down on the 5-Minute High plus $.01 break or shorting a Gap Up on the 5-Minute Low minus $.01 break is not a good one IMO. With a lot of these "violent" gapping stocks, the daily range is over before the first 5 minutes...

i haven't played NYSE stocks because they don't show up on my esignal pre-market scanner. however... if they gap and move violently in one direction or another, then yea why not make some money on it? someone should pick up that cash laying on the floor. might as well be you. p.s. the...

I made a mistake on BIIB. I'll admit that. not to sound too harsh but.... I don't care about fundamentals, really. I don't even know what BIIB makes or what service it offers. I like to: 1. Buy stocks whose prices are flying violently upwards at the open. 2. Short stocks whose...

There are problems with the DASTRADER platform offered by Alliance. Little irritating nuisances here and there. I do have their live broker's toll free number pasted next to the trading computer but thankfully haven't had to use it yet. <-gapster->

watch the velocitiy of the price movement more than anything else. some of these opening gapping stocks are pretty violent (i.e. wildly short-term profitable) too. if you watch the Time and Sales window you want to see things flying by in a rapid way with the price changing ALL IN THE SAME...

June 3rd, Friday: I did a play on RIMM today and got out with a little over $500 gain. It is not how I usually play gaps so I don't want to post it. Today was a great day to play the gaps @ the opening too...! <-gapster->

I setup the esignal filter to show me gapping stocks with an average daily vol of at least 500K shares with a minmum price of $5 a share. I also have esignal sort by $ losers or by $ gainers. I play stocks that have gapped more than a $1 or thereabouts from previous close. If the scan doesn't...

All my gap plays are NASD listed stocks. Why? because that is what my esignal Pre-Market scanner filters on. I live here in Hawaii and I wake up @ 3:15am (that's 9:15am EST folks!) to run my esignal scanner and watch it update in real time for about ten minutes or so or even up to the last...
