No. I only swing trade. I usually hold for a couple days to 2 weeks or more. I’m considering adding a time stop to my strategy but haven’t yet. I’m not sure of an optimum time to give a stock. If I have a day trade it's because my stop got hit the same day as I entered.
Ya, gaps present a challenge. For that reason I don't hold a stock during earnings announcements. News caused gaps are part of the business. Nothing I have control over so I don’t really worry about them. My experience is about 50/50 in my favor. However I end up taking bigger losses on gaps than my plan calls for.
