It's pretty tough to get a historical precedent. I don't think there were intraday charts when Nixon was going down this road.

Globex just took a hit and is trading at the low, 1065.20

If it opens much lower than that it would qualify as a buy gap. Aside from that trade, taking it for a closing of the gap, I don't see it as an easy week to day trade. The weekly and daily activity is certainly negative.

I can't guess at it, I may just wait for a spot, sell some Dow Futures, settle in and be disputable or whatever it was. Heck, with all that's going on it may be unwise to mess with it. You know one thing for certain, whichever way it goes will probably be the way that the least amount of people make the most money.

Yeesh. I researched about 10 years of stuff, came up with the conclusion that a gap down should be bought then sold either around 11:30 or 1:30 (best time) then I check Globex and find the spoo is rallying like hell.

Complete waste of time. See you tomorrow.
