Powerful

Implications of Gaps

How Do They Produce Profits With Candlesticks?

Gaps (Ku) are called windows (Mado) in Japanese Candlestick analysis. A gap or

window is one of the most misunderstood technical messages. Most investment experts

advise not to buy after a gap. This is true only about ten percent of the time. The other

90% of the time, the gaps will reveal powerful high profit trades. Candlestick signals,

correlated with the appearance of gaps, provide valuable profit-making set-ups.

What is the best investment you can make? Simple! Learning investment techniques that

make you independent of having to rely on any other investment consultation. You can

easily learn and quickly master common sense analysis that will dramatically improve

your returns for the rest of your life. You will feel confident in every trade you put on. No

more “hoping” that a trade will move in your direction. The unique built-in forces

encompassed in the candlestick signals and the strength of a move revealed by the

existence of a gap produce powerful trade factors. You can rest easy! Obtaining the

knowledge that this combination of signals reveals will produce consistent and strong

profits.

These are not “hidden” secret signals or newly discovered formulas that are just now

being exposed to the investment world. These are a combination of widely known but

little used investment techniques. Candlestick signals obviously have a statistical basis to

them or they would not still be in existence after all these centuries. Gaps have very

powerful implications. Combining the information of the two produces investment

returns that very few investors take the time to exploit.

Dissecting the implications of a gap/window makes its appearance easy to understand.

Once you understand why a gap occurs at different points in a trend, taking advantage of

what the gaps reveal becomes highly profitable. Where a gap occurs is important. The

ramification of a gap in a chart pattern is an important aspect to Japanese Candlestick

analysis. Some traders make a living trading strictly off of gaps .

Consider what a window or gap represents. In a rising market, it illustrates a price

opening higher than any of the previous day’s trading range. (For illustration in this book,

the “day” will be the representative time frame.) What does this mean in reality? During

the non-market hours, something made owning this stock tremendously desirable. So

desirable that the order imbalance opens the price well above the prior day’s body as well

as the high of the previous day’s trading range. As seen in Figure 1, note the space

between the high of the previous day and the low of the following day.

Figure 1 – Illustration of a gap.

Gap

Witnessing a gap or window at the beginning of a new trend produces profitable

opportunities. Seeing the gap formed at the beginning of the trend reveals that upon a

reversal of direction, the buyers have stepped in with a great amount of zeal. A common

scenario is witnessing a prolonged downtrend. A Candlestick signal appears, a Doji or

Harami, Hammer, or any other signal that would indicate that the selling has stopped.

What is required to verify that the downtrend has stopped is more buying the next day.

This can be more solidly verified if the next day has a gap up move.

Many investors are apprehensive about buying a stock that has popped up from the

previous days close. A risky situation! Yet a Candlestick investor has been forewarned

that the trend is going to change, using a signal as that alert. A gap up illustrates that the

force of buying in the new upward trend is going to be strong. The enthusiasm shown by

the buyers trying to get into the stock demonstrates that the new trend should have a

strong move to it. Use that gap as a strength indicator.

Gaps occur in many different places and forms. Some are easy to see, some are harder to

recognize. This book will take you through the different situations where a gap has

appeared. Each situation will be explained in detail, (1) to give you a full understanding

of what is occurring during the move and (2) to provide a visual illustration to become

familiar with the formation, making it easy to recognize. This allows the Candlestick

investor to spot an investment situation as it is developing.

Gaps at the Bottom

Knowing that a gap represents an enthusiasm for getting into or out of a stock position

creates the forewarning that a strong profit potential has occurred. Where is the best place

to see rampant enthusiasm? At that point you are buying near the bottom. Obviously,

seeing a potential Candlestick “buy” signal at the bottom of an extended downtrend is a

great place to buy. In keeping with the concepts taught in Candlestick analysis, we want

to be buying stocks that are already oversold to reduce the downside risk. What is better

to see is the evidence that buyers are very anxious to get into the stock.

Reiterating the basics of finding the perfect trades, as found in Mr. Bigalow’s book

“Profitable Candlestick Trading”, having all the stars in alignment makes for better

probabilities of producing a profit. Consider the Housing construction industry mid-

September 2001. The indexes were bottoming out after the 9/11 debacle.

The Housing stocks indicated the best evidence of capital inflow. The initial move to the

upside was evident with a large number of good signals found in those stocks after doing

a scan of the charts. Investors were really liking the residential home builders. This is

clearly seen in Figure 2 - CTX, Centex Corp. It gapped up the same day, illustrating that

buyers were coming into this stock with a vengeance. The initial gap is very important. It

will indicate how strong the new move will be.
