Gap Strategies to Trade the Opening Bell
Seven New Gap Strategies!
Hey, I’m David Bean, I started looking for a way to trade the markets back in 1995 (right out of college). It took me five years before I discovered a strategy that I believed in enough to trade and be profitable. There is so much hype when it comes to trading and markets. It might appear easy, but it is not. My book will give you a shortcut to finding a strategy that works. It also provides a great education for you to come up with your own methods – which I highly encourage.
There are so many tricks to the trade and I wish I had access to this information when I first started as there are so many books that reveal strategies that only work for a one year windows or less and don’t take into account transaction costs. So many strategies are methods where there is still a decision that needs to be made based on talent and experience. These strategies in my book give exact trading rules so there is no guesswork.
Fully disclosed trading strategies for a rule based professional approach to trading!
A Newly Released Book Reveals
What you need to know about the Open. Each day when the market opens, there is a surge in volume as the markets have been closed overnight or over the weekend and this is the first time any real volume has traded in at least 17 hours. Price action can be greatly affected right on the open. Know when to go long or short. What is the best way to define the trend? Do you know how to setup a trade to go with the trend? Check it out in Chapter 4 as it makes a big difference. Learn how to test a rule based systematic approach. Gain an understanding on how to develop a professional trading strategy.
Combine two strategies into one. Want to use a multi-system, mutli-rule approach. See how we combine two strategies into one approach in Chapter 7. How to Exit a Trade. Learn how to use a graphical technique to “see” the best place to add stop losses as well as profit targets in Chapter 10. Discovering the art and science of trading. We always hear about the art and science of trading. What does this mean and which is it, art or science? De-mystifying both and how each plays a role from strategy development to actual trading. The secret behind optimization. Optimization is bad! Maybe not. In Chapter 6, see how we use optimization after strategy development.
Take a Look at the Charts
It is a well known fact that most traders lose their initial trading capital within six months. Some of the reasons for this are:
They do not understand the risks! Many traders maximize the use of leverage. Day trade margins for the E-mini S&P futures can be as low as $1,000 while the notional value of the E-mini S&P is $50,000+. Opening a $10,000 account and loading up with 10 contracts would be like trading $500,000+ of stock with $10,000! Afraid to take the trade and pull the trigger. Fear can be the result of not knowing the expectations of a trading approach. Not having a plan can cause fear. Knowing the risk and measuring the probability of success as well as understanding your risk tolerance can give the confidence to take the trade. Overtrading and trading too many markets. Greed can be the root of failure. Trading is different that most professions. You can’t “work harder” and “do more” by increasing trading volume in order to succeed. When it comes to working harder and doing more in the trading world it has more to do with preparation and research and coming up with a plan to trade. Most new traders perceive more trading activity as more effort. Selectivity in trading can increase the odds of success. Having a trading plan to determine the amount of selectivity is essential so that over trading does not deplete a traders financial and emotional resources. Trading with out a plan. Having a trading plan will decrease the risk, fear, and greed factors. Understanding your trading plan will give you confidence in your approach. Knowing the worse case scenario and preparing for it is the only way to preserve capital during losing streaks. If a strategy starts to under perform to a greater degree than it has in the past then it is time to re-evaluate the plan. A flurry of buying and selling based on emotions is not a plan. Understanding and testing the trading strategies in “Seven Trading Systems for the S&P Futures” will give you insight on professionally developed trading strategies and teach you how to develop your own strategy.
Bonus: Free E-book!
What is in the Free E-book
Strategy designed for Active Trader magazine article in 2006. This E-book is based on the results of a strategy article for Active Trader magazine in February 2006. It has three long entry rules and five short entry rules with a range variable stop loss. Trade using the market internals on the NYSE. Market internals such as the $TICK, $ADV, $DECL can give powerful insight and clues on the short term market direction. Learn how to combine this information with price data for stock index futures or the individual stocks. See how it has done in the last four years! Many times, the best developed, unoptimized, non-curve fitted strategies don’t work as well going forward in time. Many strategies with real time, real money records for a couple of years can stop working as the market changes the way it moves. It is not easy to find a good strategy and real strategies don’t always have the straightest equity curves. This free strategy has been trade-able with a return since it was released over four years ago. Determine the best rules to trade with going forward! The real value are the two best rules. (one for long entry and one for short entry) These two rules were around over four years ago. See how they did and what happens if you trade just these two rules alone! A potentially powerful strategy for the next four years. Trades the E-mini S&P, SPY, GOOG, and more! I focus on trading futures but this strategy works on other stock index futures such as the E-mini Russell and E-mini Midcap. It also trades ETF’s such as the SPY (the equity based equivalent of the S&P futures) and individual stocks such as Google.

I normally lease non-disclosed strategies for $50/month per system. Multiple system lease portfolios can be $150/month or $1800/year.
These two books include nine fully disclosed systems for less than a monthly lease of one system. I believe these strategies offer great value as both trading systems and education and introduce you to my trading approach if you choose to lease or purchase additional strategies. Adding additional strategies can provide a more diverse approach. These two books will give you enough new strategies to get started as I encourage you to learn and understand all nine strategies.
Either way, if you are a trader, I strongly encourage you to find a method or strategy for your trading through my books or from someone who has been there. It can take many years to understand how to design a system and the tricks to developing strategies of value.
Learn now! Instead of taking years to develop your own strategy, learn Seven professional approaches in my e-book below plus Two more in my free E-book.
There is a difference between an indicator based approach or method versus an actual trading system that gives you the rules as well as the buy and sell signals. Indicators and methods can be great but there is so much left open to interpretation. It is easy to show what an indicator could have done plus there is no way to really track results unless it is placed within a system. Many indicator based approaches could be programmed into a system where the results can be tracked but they aren’t. This book does not include a set of indicators or an indicator based approach. It is an automated trading system approach.
Obviously indicators can be used successfully by some traders and it is an approach to consider, but if you want to learn how to generate automated trading signals where the buy and sell rules can be tracked, then check out my books!
Keep in mind, it will take some work on your part, depending on your experience level, to study the strategies in this book. These strategies are developed in the Tradestation platform. Using the Tradestation platform to trade and study these strategies is highly recommended but not necessary to learn how the strategies work.
