Gap Fade

I don’t want to turn this into a personal trade log, but I will attempt to show different types of trades as they occur. Oil gapped down this morning, and I faded the gap when the reversal on the PnF chart printed. I placed a hard stop underneath the lows of the morning.

This trade only paid out .45 on .25 risk. Not quite 2:1.

As you can see from the PnF chart, the gap fell right into major support. I exited as it stalled around the middle of the overnight session’s trading (white lines on PnF).
