Want to know if big opening gaps in the market help or hurt your trading? The Opening Gap reports group your results by how far the market gapped at the open.
- Click Reports in the left bar, then click Market in the report menu to expand it.
- Click Opening Gap $ to group by the gap in dollars, or Opening Gap % to group by the gap in percent. The report uses the Date range at the top of the page.
- Use the switch at the top right of the chart to choose SPY or SPX as the market the gap is measured on.
- Read the bars from left to right: each bar is a range of gap size, from gap-down days on the left to gap-up days on the right, and its height is your profit on those days. Green is profit and red is loss.
- Hover a bar to see your exact profit for that gap range.
- Scroll down to the table for the full numbers of each range, such as Return $, Trades, Profit Factor and Win %.
To see the trades behind a bar, click the bar (or View Report in the table): TraderSync filters your account to that gap range and opens Overview, and Trades in the left bar then lists only those trades. Click Clear All in the top bar to go back to all your trades.
