Not All Gaps Are the Same Event

A gap is a price range where nothing traded, and where it appears in a move tells you far more than the gap itself.

This lesson is part of a Stock Alerts + Tools plan.

What the lesson covers

  1. 0:00A gap is a price range where nothing traded at all.
  2. 0:05The four kinds. Where the gap appears in the move is what distinguishes them from each other.
  3. 0:15The one that fools people. An exhaustion gap and a runaway gap look identical on the day they print.
  4. 0:24'Filling the gap'. Gaps often get filled. That is a tendency, not a rule, and it has no timeframe.
  5. 0:32What to do with one. The gap's edge is a level. Holding above it is bullish; losing it is not.
  6. 0:40Ask where the gap sits before you ask what it means.
