A lot of gap

Not a half bad idea to sit aside on the days like you are describing. I am currently trading off 5 minute chart for NQ. ATR was sky high last couple of days as expected with a VXN of over 28.
So, that means that I can get in on a solid entry, and on the same darn candle get snapped right out of the trade. This is with an initial stop of 20 points (80 ticks).

On days when there is a lot of gap, it is better not to operate?

Yes, sometimes. BUT several exceptions;
a]Already long into a large gap up?? Not an auto sell, but could tighten stops unless earnings seem to justify it all day.

b]Good bear moves gap down all week long , so no ,on avoiding that that bear pattern. Most gaps are not so dramatic as PCG, 52 weeks gaps ,could study that turkey.:cool::cool:
