Yesterday's Forecast and Recap
Yesterday's Forecast:
Before Gap
The only high probability area confirmed by both structure and timing is the H-C zone between 1077.25 and 1076.25 which is too narrow and probably will not trigger.
After Gap
According to Table - 3, if the market opens above the open (1071 ), probabilities are very good for this setup. We will have to wait for a move to close the gaps, then we enter in the direction of the move for 4 additional points.  Because of low true range of market, stop is at 5.

Yesterday's Recap:
Before Gap - ES opened at 1086,  well above the high of yesterday.  The profit factor and win rate for this zone was well below the acceptable levels.  So there was no trade setup to fade this gap.  As it turned out, this would have been a total looser because the market rallied.
After Gap -  The market opened in the right zone for this trade.  This  trade would have triggered if after market opened, the price had moved down to yesterday's close which did not happen.
Additional Comment: Don't be disappointed that this system has trade-able setups only for some days and even if we do have a setup, it may not triggered because the market does not open in a triggering zone.  I expect to see only one or two trades a week and perhaps 5 or 6 per month.  This is like digging gold and diamond hidden in the middle of tons of trash.  I am working on increasing the number of trades on this system without compromising on the odds.  I have some very interesting work in progress.  So please keep visiting this page and you will see it will get better and better.
Today's Forecast Summary:
Before Gap
The high probability areas confirmed by both structure and timing are the H and H-C zones. So I will short if the market opens above the close of yesterday which is 1089.50.
After Gap
According to Table - 3, if the market opens above the high(1096 ) or below the low(1084.25) and it closes the gap at 1089.50, then I will enter at the direction of closing the gap.
