? I didn't trade against the gap, I traded with it.
A gap signifies what exactly? Just that your charting doesn't cover the movement for that time. Price gapped down, not up. View it as large supply in this instance so why trade into supply? Or are you a 'fade the gap' type. My response..what gap?

Yeah, i was m8. If you see that as a gap on your chart fine but it signifies supply yeah? Unless, as I said, you're a fade the gap type. Have you looked at the weekly chart?

BB - I know. And I reiterate I know.

I've also seen the article before, seen the film, read the book
:shock:

Tell me where it is in Seiden's philosophy to trade into (i.e. fade) the gap? Does he not say that it is a novice way to trade? Am I saying to fade the gap or do the complete opposite????? These are rhetorical questions

Which way was price moving on that chart prior to the gap? Is it at the start or end of a move? These are rhetorical questions.

Price move up, gap down at start of move = ??? Supply? This is a rhetorical question.

There's also a HUGE difference between a gap that occurs midweek and one when your charting starts on a Sunday.

Board members at Kreslik. Please don't start talking down to me again LOL. Only a few weeks ago half of you were still trying to trade momo bars back to front (as I was) so please...don't.

Sorry, I write a LOT of rhetorical questions and I don't think, a lot of the time, people on here read them as such.
