Jay, I am writing this post to you because I know you play gaps, but I appreciate input from anyone on this thread. I have been following the gap strategies posted on the Mach6 site for awhile. I find this strategy to be reliable and regularly profitable. Lately, my frustration is at entering a gap play at the target price with the stock looking very strong or weak as the case may be, only to have it go my way a 1/8 or 3/16 and then promptly reverse enough to stop me out. Later, though I watch it hit the target again, looking appropriately strong or weak again, and watch as it follows through. Then I usually scream a little and feel bad for being twice shy about getting in the stock again. Can you offer any advice you might have based on your experience in playing gaps? I don't want to be stupid and jump back in a stock that has already proven me wrong (or so I thought)? Hmmm, I wish there was a book, maybe the Tao of Gaps. Thanks in advance for shedding any light for me. Regards, Tara
