Anyone else noticed the market has been a bit gappy lately? Probably has something to do with early earnings season and the off hours news releases...

I use to really hate gaps as they ruined my trade setups for an hour to two into the day, but I am able to trade reliably again just thirty minutes to an hour after gaps now. Gaps behave very similarly to 50-100 pip capitulations in Forex... You know, the ones that take like five minutes to complete.

They all have different "h" and "inverse h" pattern variations in common.

Oh, and here's the pattern if you have never heard of it. Nearly every single gap has one except the strongest runaway gaps.
