(53 pages, $100 digital, 2012, ISBN 978-0-9853072-2-6) by Laurence Connors and Cesar Alvarez, published by Connors Research LLC.
This is the second book on trading gaps by these authors; the first was basics and is referenced in the first section of this work, while the second is mostly for beginners, and the real teaching for the more experienced gap traders begins in the third. There was more time and research material covered in this book because there are more stocks than exchange traded funds (ETFs) and there are some large differences in how they are traded. In stocks, the size of the gap is more important than with ETFs, and the size of the limit order — to buy or short a gap — needs to be considerably larger trading stocks than necessary with ETFs. Specific filters introduced in this guide had consistently positive returns in results over the past 11-year period.
