I got to know about Scott Andrews (aka The Gap Guy) from Corey’s blog.
In a presentation I gave to a group of over 140+, I talked about how I sieved out better quality trading resource. Traders who demonstrate success of their trading strategy/system with statistics always catch my attention. Scott Andrew is one such trader. Furthermore, he specializes in something close to my heart - GAPS. Yeap, I traded gaps for over a year before giving it up altogether.
During that time, I also did a fair amount of research on gaps. But I never thought of doing it Scott’s way. Well, in the first place, I was taught to trade gaps in a unorthodox way. Scott fades gaps primarily. He has with him tons of statistical research on which gap patterns are risky and which gap patterns have a high probability of winning. His statistics are significant because of the large sample size. I am blown away.
Now, Scott shares some of his research at his blog - this is free
He also runs a paid service at MasterTheGap.com. But allow me to point you to the free Gap Trading Video section where videos related to gaps are posted up daily. A free great learning resource! You may also want to check out his presentation at the Traders’ Expo 2009 that talked about 10 patterns that every trader should know. Also check out his trading results.
I am truly inspired.

Few years ago I was working in a funds management company that trade asian equities. I know of a colleague who trade on gaps. He will tell me that this stock will risk and close the gap. I was sceptical but he has convinced me.
But I do not trade gaps as this often exist in stocks. I am more of a warren buffett guy when it comes to stock investment.
And gaps seldom exist in forex as forex is a 24 hour market.
Good article.
