 Welcome, my name is Melissa Armell. I own a company called the Stock Swoosh and I day trade gaps and I teach people how to day trade Gaps. I'm going to explain to you today. What is a gap? So a gap is when a stock closes at one price at the close of the eastern market the US market at 4 o'clock eastern time and Opens at a different price the next day at 9 30 eastern time. That's what a gap is now for example Something could get up. This is a gap up here in the spy Or something could gap down. Let's find a good gap down. Here's a gap down in the spy right in here This was back at the beginning of the year January 7th So I teach people how to train that gap once you see it But overall a gap is very easy to understand It's a difference between the close and open from one business day when the market closes to the next and if you'd like more Information on how to trade gaps email me at melissa at the stocks wish calm
