    Wow ... you can't view it? I was just about to apologize because it is gigantic and somehow I posted it twice.

    Anyhow, I took 1/2 off at 1232 (10 points is 10 points)and I'm riding the remaining half with a 1220 stop and a 1260 limit. Worst Case scenario is an average profit of 4 points/contract on the initial position. Not a bad day no matter how she ends.

    I'm going out for a while now, so good luck to you all. I'll se

    It looks like the TRADER VIC GAP RULE might be coming into effect!

    Rich,

    How are you balancing your bias between having a positive 3 Day Rally of 88% and the TVGR in effect?

    Thanks,

    Base on past experience TVGR trumps everything unless we get a double bottom with some divergence.

    We just had a double bottom but I didnt find divergence

    In my limited back testing, the days it initially works and then reverses is sometime around the lunch hour is where the double bottome forms. But this doesn't happen very often.

    The way I treat the TVGR, (and I'm not saying I'm right, only that this is how I look at it) is that if the gap fills within the first 1-30 minutes, then I do not consider the TVGR to be in effect. Now, today, 18 minutes into the day session we did fill the gap back to yesterday's low (missing by 3 ticks). So, though I have been stopped out of my last 1/2 ES, I may be a willing buyer at 1216.50-1218.50 if we get a long trade set up in that zone +/- a point or two.

    Here's my chart - you'll see the support zone in green - long above it and stop below the box.
