Intraday Trading With Hatch #3

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 with a relatively
big downside gap.
The green dot indicates the opening
price. This makes a bit tougher to trade today. Anyway, it is better to avoid
longs.
No stocks have shown up.
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.

Now, let's try a little bit riskier
trades by utilizing Hatch #3.
Only one down bar
SNDK can't be traded because there
is no weekly signal.
So, let's try YHOO and PAYX.
It does not look like the issue can reverse to the upside.
What would happen if I traded these
two?
+0.6point
+0.36point
Up $1152 if you traded 1200 shares each.
The Nasdaq finished up.
