Playing the "Gap" (GE).
Richard O. Zamora, III; CMT • Jan 31, 2019
Using Gaps & Volume to trade!
There are many ways, as traders, how we can determine a potential profitable trade. Among the most powerful, is to observe any “gap” in price action. A “gap” on a chart is where the price of a security increases or decreases sharply, with minimal to no trading between trading days. This dramatic move usually marks an unexpected significant fundamental or technical event; and oftentimes, this price gap is reflected in a pronounced increase in volume.
Taking a look at General Electric’s chart (GE), as of January 31st – we see just that.
(GE) had been in an uptrend since early December but has recently experienced a congestion period. This consolidation phase that had lasted for almost a month, now shows a break-away gap that also reflects a dramatic increase in volume. We can use this occurrence to “play the gap” and setup our trade to profit by this new possible uptrend! Of course, as with all trades, the question is: “How do you know where to enter the trade and where to put your stop loss – as to not lose money should this gap be filled?
I can help you answer that through consultation; contact me today!

Risk Disclaimer/Disclosure:
DISCLAIMER: Futures, stocks and options trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. The valuation of futures, stocks and options may fluctuate, and, as a result, clients may lose more than their original investment. The impact of seasonal and geopolitical events is already factored into market prices. The highly leveraged nature of futures trading means that small market movements will have a great impact on your trading account and this can work against you, leading to large losses or can work for you, leading to large gains. If the market moves against you, you may sustain a total loss greater than the amount you deposited into your account. You are responsible for all the risks and financial resources you use and for the chosen trading system. You should not engage in trading unless you fully understand the nature of the transactions you are entering into and the extent of your exposure to loss. If you do not fully understand these risks you must seek independent advice from your financial advisor. All trading strategies are used at your own risk. Any content should not be relied upon as advice or con strued as providing recommendations of any kind. It is your responsibility to confirm and decide which trades to make. Trade only with risk capital; that is, trade with money that, if lost, will not adversely impact your lifestyle and your ability to meet your financial obligations. Past results are no indication of future performance. In no event should the content of this correspondence be construed as an express or implied promise or guarantee. Global Market Raiders, LLC. is not responsible for any losses incurred as a result of using any of our trading strategies. Loss-limiting strategies such as stop loss orders may not be effective because market conditions or technological issues may make it impossible to execute such orders. Likewise, strategies using combinations of options and/or futures positions such as “spread” or “straddle” trades may be just as risky as simple long and short positions.
