Gap Trading Strategy and Indicators for TradeStation

Gap Trading Strategy for TradeStation


The gap trading strategy is a simple rule based trading system designed to take advantage of stocks that gap higher or lower at the open of the day and subsequently reverse over the next few days.

The system is 100% systematic with clearly defined entry and exit rules for identifying long and short trading opportunities.

The gap strategy is best applied to daily price data and uses a combination of price action and standard indicators to identify high probability gap trading opportunities. As the system is based on daily price data potential trading opportunities can be quickly and easily identified in anticipation of a gap open.

The gap trading system is not a black box system. All the rules are fully disclosed and explained in detail in a PDF manual and the system comes with a set of strategy and indicator files compatible with TradeStation which can be used to test, scan and monitor potential trading opportunities and all files are open coded.

 

100% Money Back Guarantee
You can try these indicators and strategies for 30 days risk free and evaluate them for yourself within TradeStation. If after purchasing you decide they are not right for you just let us know within 30 days for a full refund.

 

The gap trading system was tested on an extensive database containing thousands of stocks, including delisted stocks. Below are the results for the standard version of the gap trading system based on every trade taken by the system, long and short, between 01/01/05 and 31/12/18.

The above results are based upon the standard version of the gap trading system but the system can be easily adjusted to alter how the system identifies trading opportunities and ultimately how the system performs. We have explored some of the possible ways the gap system can be adjusted focusing of a few key elements (details included in the manual) and have provided results for 250 different variations of the gap system.
