so tell me if i'm wrong. you cannot make 2 consecutive long trades or short trades in a row. let's say you go long, take profit, then drops back to maybe .03 green then goes above .10 again? can you go long again?

Scenario 1) you go long at .10 price reaches .50 you take profits--now price returns to .10--the stats don't support another long trade because price reached .50--*if gap didn't fill, you can still trade it.--your option
Scenario 2) you go long at .10 price reaches .49 you take profits--now price returns to .10--the stats support another long trade because price never reached .50--your option
Do you get it? Check it out yourself, use the filter and change 100 days to 1 and count how many times the stock goes to +-.10 to +-.50 and look at the filter. The filter will say 1 even if it happens multiply times in a day.
Using the MTC and Gap filters, there is only 3 plays per ticker.
1)long to .50 - only supported once
2)short to .50 - only supported once
3) long/short can only fill once, but can trade it until it fills--your option(how i traded AMZN today)
I hope this helps.

I didn't trade AMZN in the morning, but it was still on my radar because it never filled the gap.
If I had noticed the move earlier, i would of shorted when the first red arrow bar broke to a new low from the previous bar. In anticipation of it going lower, but I entered late 1st red arrow.
1st red arrow) entered short trade got stopped out
2nd red arrow) entered short---winner
3rd red arrow) entered short ---winner
There were no more trades left with this method. The +-.50 trades were taken on the first bar.
On a side note, I wish I had a dashboard indicator to tell me what trades are left for a basket of MTC/GAP stocks. The indicator would display what stocks went to +-.50 and what stocks filled the Gap. Then you could just look at the stocks that have trades left to be made. Any help out there would be appreciated. Thanks

I didn't trade it on the open, but will short until the gap fills. There is no long trade
available that would be supported by the stats. I made 5 short trades starting at
about 10:10 until now. I only have a small position left and I'm done for the day.
