Free Gap Guides based on Seasonality for the ES and SPY

The Seasonality Gap Guides shows the historical probabilities for fading the opening gap in the S&P 500, for both the ES e-mini futures (since 2001) AND the SPY exchange traded fund (since 2002), based upon zone (location of the next day's open relative to the prior day's Open, High, Low and Closing prices), day of week (Monday, Tuesday-Thursday, or Friday), and recent short term trend. Collectively, we refer to these important 3 elements as "seasonality."

Some traders are skeptical about the value of using something as simple as seasonality. In part, this is why these filters work. However, the fundamental reason they work is that traders and investors frequently make buying and selling decisions on the same days of each week and month. As a gap trader, it is important to know if there is a historical bias for that day, before making your trade decision.

The table below is an example of the Free Seasonality Gap Guide for the ES. Note: a free seasonality Gap Guide for the SPY is also included daily, along with each day's scheduled economic reports and events.
