Random tests on gap downs

Intraday after gap down: bias down for rest of day.
Shorts work better
Rallies/gap fill attempts usually get shorted.
buying panic open can also give profits with small trailing sl.

Buying at close after gap down can give profits in a bull market if position is held for 2-4 days.
All tests done on nf.

The most popular technique for gap trading is to a trade with gap . use breakout/continuation/exhaustion principles.

And the anti gap setup is the larry williams oops setup which buys on gap fill above previous low.
