The mysteries of trading the opening gap have eluded most traders. Only astute traders have had the courage to conceive of and execute these trades. One could wonder why. Well, the complexity of market flow achieves all of its importance well ahead of the "ringing bell" signal. Even if the mysterious air of the opening gap dissipates rapidly, as soon as he / she comprehends its foundation, the trader still has to work on everyday trading techniques.

Some traders will say that "the first hour is the novice's" and the last one "belongs to the professional trader"! Well…I completely disagree with this! Opening trades have a high level of complexity, and their comprehension takes time, at least several years of experience.

Learning the intuitive approach, true as ever, in the practice of profitable trading, just might catapult the trader's efficiency well ahead of the crowd's, due to the approach's global discernment or perception. The resulting acumen will give the trader the power to see what is not obvious to the average mind. It goes even further, enhancing the implementation of local action, as a result of general observation. It is like an expert guide unlocking the wisdom of the subconscious mind.
