I have my account settings set to filter out any trade with a volume less than 500,000 and trade size must be less that .1% of trading volume. But I still suffer pretty badly from gaps up followed by a retrace. I am thinking that the systems in use have some commonality with many systems used by many other people. It seems to me that some automation to avoid trading into a gap would be the best solution. A limit order seems to be the simplest way to do that. But you guys know this stuff much better than I do. I know something isn't working right. I have been using a set of strategies with excellent stats and outstanding recent performance (from 1 Jan to now) but I have been losing since I started trading with it about two weeks ago. | |
