Gap Fill: ES and SSO 2 seperate plays

SSO 5 minute play

Emini ES in at the open.

Daily Chart...look how we are gaping under the low of the spike down two weeks ago..just due for some sort of bounce.

Stock:Emini ES or SSO
Entry Bar: at the open or after 5 minute bar
Time Frame: 5 minute bars

Entry Green Line: ES: 1053 ..... SSO: 34.28
Stop Red Line
: ES: 10 point stop......SSO: 33.89
Result
: ES: +14 & +17......SSO: 1.10 to 1.50
Setup Grade
: A-
Notes
: Take a look at the daily chart...when I saw the market gaping down again under the low of the spike 2 weeks ago I couldn't wait to jump. Many times I use the gap guides at www.masterthegap.com.....but with this setup I was looking to get in with a wide stop and less contracts. I was looking for a bounce....just didn't know when or how much.

Can also wait for the sso to close and go long at the high of the 5 minute bar..stop low.

E-Mini opening Gap Fade


(Double Click Picture for a Larger View)
.
Stock:ES
Entry Bar: At the open
Entry Green Line: 1095.50
Stop Red Line: 5 points
Result: Out at gap fill 1099.50

Notes: I use Master the Gap to determine if I will fade the opening stock index's. Master the gap gives probabilities for gaps closing every day based on patterns, seasonality and market conditions. I use these probabilities and other indicators to determine if I will fade a gap. I make maybe 4 or 5 trades a month using these probabilities. It gives me another setup but you must be patient. Market has been strong for the past several days and liked the hammer at the 600SMA as well. Entered at the bottom green line and target was gap fill at the top.

This is a perfect example of always educating yourself and attending these trader expos that are held 4 times a year. I found master the gap at an expo maybe 2 years ago. Did some research on the service and have been happy ever since. Its hard work studying the markets and trying to improve. I am firm believer that the harder you work the luckier you get.

Stock:ES emini
Entry Bar: 1
Entry Green Line: 815.25
Stop Red Line: 823.25
Result: 8 points and out

Notes:I used Master the Gap that I have been a member of for some time, to confirm my thoughts on fading this gap. Like the fact my stop was above the daily pivot. Weak market as of late (what else is new) so I am more aggressive with fading up gaps.

(Double Click Picture for a Larger View)
.
Stock:ES emini
Entry Bar:1
Entry Green Line:884.25
Stop Red Line: 890
Result: 881.25

Notes: I like to fade the opening gap when it sets up for a high probability trade. Determining if its a high probability trade requires studying past results for fading the opening gap. I use a service that I highly recommend that focusing mainly on fading the opening gap. I make only 5 or 6 trades a month with this setup but it gives me another weapon in my trading setups. I recommend taking a look at Master the Gap that I have been a member of for some time.
