2⃣ Gap-down
3⃣ Common gap
4⃣ Breakaway gap
5⃣ Continuation gap
6⃣ Exhaustion gap
7⃣ Island gap
1⃣ What is Gap-up?
When the opening price is above the high of the previous day, we get a gap-up.
🟢How to trade?
➡️Trade in the direction of the gap-up as long as the price remains above the opening of that day.
2⃣ What is Gap-down?
When the opening price is below the previous day's low it's considered as gap-down
🟢how to trade
➡️Look for only shorting opportunity until the high of 15 min candle is not breached.
3⃣ What is the common gap?
When you see gaps forming within a range, then such gaps are called common gaps.
🟢How to trade
➡️Common gaps within a range will always get filled. so look for trading in the direction of gap filling
4⃣ What is the breakaway gap?
When we get a gap-up/gap-down after price consolidation in a tight range then it's called a breakaway gap.
🟢How to trade it?
➡️Trade only in the direction of a breakaway i.e if we get gap-up then only buy and if we get gap-down then only sell.
5⃣ What is the continuation gap?
The frequent gaps that we get in a trending market are examples of continuation gaps.
🟢How to trade?
➡️Go for positional trade/btst trade in the direction of gaps
6⃣ What is the Exhaustion gap?
When a trending markets give a gap up which is not able to break the previous resistance then such a gap is called an exhaustion gap.
🟢how to trade?
➡️once you identify the Exhaustion gap. look for trading in the direction opposite of the gap.
7⃣ What is the island gap?
after a gap-up, if markets consolidate for some days and give a gap down, then this forms an island gap.
🟢how to trade?
➡️Once the formation is complete you'll see a complete trend reversal. trade in direction of reversal

THREAD: 12 Things Everyone Should Know About IQ

1. IQ is one of the most heritable psychological traits – that is, individual differences in IQ are strongly associated with individual differences in genes (at least in fairly typical modern environments). https://t.co/3XxzW9bxLE


2. The heritability of IQ *increases* from childhood to adulthood. Meanwhile, the effect of the shared environment largely fades away. In other words, when it comes to IQ, nature becomes more important as we get older, nurture less.
https://t.co/UqtS1lpw3n


3. IQ scores have been increasing for the last century or so, a phenomenon known as the Flynn effect. https://t.co/sCZvCst3hw (N ≈ 4 million)

(Note that the Flynn effect shows that IQ isn't 100% genetic; it doesn't show that it's 100% environmental.)


4. IQ predicts many important real world outcomes.

For example, though far from perfect, IQ is the single-best predictor of job performance we have – much better than Emotional Intelligence, the Big Five, Grit, etc. https://t.co/rKUgKDAAVx https://t.co/DWbVI8QSU3


5. Higher IQ is associated with a lower risk of death from most causes, including cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, most forms of cancer, homicide, suicide, and accident. https://t.co/PJjGNyeQRA (N = 728,160)
