On GAPs: study not only relation of GAP on day X to GAP on day X-1 and day X+1, study GAP-trade behavior within the market trend. Do greed's expressions in a down trend provide different GAP-tells then in an up trend? Hmmm, may have to look into this one... jdt,

For example, we know we've been in a down-trend, and it turns out that most of the gaps that failed to close were downside gaps. Most upside gaps closed. I need to run those numbers to differentiate, and that may be my next project. Thank you for the inspiration! JDT,
