In this video, I go over the opening half-hour or so on my PnF chart and an 89-Tick chart. It was a dramatic opening with a big gap. That usually leads to great opportunities to profit from suckers who try to catch the bottom. That’s the way I play them, anyway…

Enjoy!

  well I’m using new software now, that seems to be youtube-compatible. So, I’ll be making more videos going forward, for sure. It was so annoying with the old software when my voice and my screen didn’t match, that I stopped making videos altogether.
