Karthik has defined how to play gap up in one of the threads, but I never tried gap up method.. I always wait for candle to touch atp... For the benefit of all, I will post gap up method later in the day .. But I am not sure about its success...
Thanks anup....thats other method....I asked for this method ...if we look todays charts many scrips opened abv ATR...i think many are taken trades too ...thats why I asked...IMO karthik not idicated it in this method ..
GAP strategy:
Strategy
1). The chart time frame is 5 min
2). We look for GAP in the previous day closing 5 min candle and current day opening candle. (e.g: 15/11/2012 3.30pm candle & 16/11/2012 9.15am or 9.20am candle)
3). Entry: If there is a GAP down we go short on the low of the first 5 min candle & vice versa on GAP up.
4). Exit: We can come out with minimum of Rs.5/- if we trade on highly traded scrips.
5). SL: The High/Low of previous day closing candle.
6). Important point to note: No trade on opposite direction
