I'm not actively trading this (yet). But from what I understand, TRO says...
For down gaps - when a green candle is above the open by .20, buy.
For up gaps - when a red candle is below the open by .20, short.
Don't wait for the candles to close. Just do it.
Exit at any weakness. I'm still not sure how "weakness" is defined. Sometimes TRO says to just scalp .10, sometimes he says to let it ride.
The sell stop is the opposite end of the buy zone than your entry. But TRO says you should have already scalped your .10 before that happens.
If the price moves your way by 1.00 and stops, TRO says to exit. Again, sometimes TRO says to let it ride though.
After the gap closes, yes continue using the original buy zone. However, one is not limited to trading only in the direction of the gap once the gap has been filled.
Yeah, there does seem to be an uncomfortable degree of "feeling" and "knowing" with this method, especially with regard to whether to scalp before a loss or let it ride. Even if you just let it ride though, the statistics are on your side.

Avery, I think many of those seeking more knowledge of your system wish to know your trade entry, stop (mental or physical), profit goals and overall trade management.
Since you are posting nearly real time, a great education may be provided if you show the live trades and your thought processes.
Many on here understand them and know "how to trade", but to those "relatively" new, this would benefit greatly.
I did exactly that in the daytrading tips thread.
Just a suggestion my friend.
Grunt
===================
I have posted the BUY ZONE RULES.
There is NO THINKING INVOLVED.
It's all REACTION.

I understand (always have)....the post was for others who continue to ask the same questions.
I don't think they lack intelligence or ability, I think just want clarification. Human nature to be inquisitive.
Maybe this will do.

==========================
It's too simple.
Most people won't accept a simple system.
There is no further explaination.
Green candle at open +.10 go long
Red candle at open - .10 go short
Only trade "Cows".
If you can NOT see that the "STOP" is built in then this system is NOT for you.
You should see how simple my new FOREX system is. If you can count to 10 and are NOT colorblind, then you can rake it in. It's in the NEVER LOSE AGAIN thread on www.kreslik.com

luc1Grunt:
The entry rules are very obvious and mechanical. The trade exit is not. You have to familiarize yourself with the scan that finds the cows to understand that TRO is looking for a statistical edge. This edge will give you a lot of small profitable, but boring trades.
TRO also says that you have to learn to trade one market like AAPL very well. If you do this the exits should become more profitable the longer you trade.
I don't know if this helps your understanding and I may have gotten it wrong...good luck.

LOL.
As I said, the explanation is not for me. I've been trading the gaps for a couple years and don't need an explanation.
Is there a full moon?
ROFL,.
