TRO....Although I'm doing quite well with my swing trading strategy (due to day job) I've had my eye on this and other threads for a while because I was intrigued by the concept of allocating a portion of my portfolio into a high probability day trading method to rapidly compound gains. However, up until I saw JP's post I really hadn't drilled down into the postings to get into the nitty gritty of entry and exit. What prompted me to do so is that he is one of the few posters here I really respect because he has not only documented many of his trades (and seems to be quite successful) but he also conducts himself in a cordial, professional manner. If thoroughly investigating a method and seeking clarity before jumping in with both feet qualifies me as a sheep, so be it.

TRO, when dealing with your lactating bovines, do you consider or use the early and late market hours or just the regular 9:30-4:00 (EST) hours?
Thanks,
Tom

TRO:
I am doing reasonable well with your RFR filter (RDN has been quite good to me, thank you very much) and am now trying to understand fading the gap. i looked at AAPL today and am a bit confused as to how this one shoud have been played. From what I can see AAPL closed yesterday at about 134 and opened today gapped up at about 142. According to your FTG rules this is a candidate for a short which could have been entered within the first minute of the trade. But it seems that the downward trend almost immediately reversed and again according to your FTG rules (if I understand them correctly) you would have exited the position. Is all this correct or am I missing something?
Thanks for all your help and especially your great patience!
Tom
