Intraday Trading With Hatch #3


Gapper's Eye utilizes our original unique stock scanner, Break Scan, and sophisticated chart software, CQG. With nominal fee, the Break Scan is available to our members.  

The Kamikaze Gap Play was introduced to the U.S. traders in the August 2005 issue of Active Trader Magazine.



The Nasdaq opened at an ideal area to open new long positions.

The green dot indicates opening price.

 

Swing Scan with weekly trend filter shows three stocks. Daily charts are below, and the green dot indicates opening price.

This gap is a bit too large.

 

This gap is a bit too large, too.

 

This is an excellent formation, but it lacks a good gap.

 

Now, removing the weekly filter.

AKAM has shown up.

A nice pattern.

 

 

A good entry.

It really performed well.

This one did not go up that much. 

 

I will hold this one.

 

Total profit so far +1.76point

 

Now, wait for a pullback to catch more trading opportunities with Hatch #3.  



High - Low Bands Gap Play Watch

This strategy can be applied effectively by using the Swing Scan. As the name implies, this system scan stocks for swing trading. Of course, these stocks are suitable for intraday trading, too. Don't just concentrate on stocks. Be sure to follow the index.

 

Swing Scan Watch

Each figure shows the size of the gap, the order of moving averages, the new high or new low in the past five days. The trigger indicates the buying and selling pressure. We do not hold overnight positions more than five days. A long position will be closed when the stock gaps down. (Sometimes, the position is liquidated on the second gap-down.) The opposite rules applies for closing short positions.
