Dummy Gapper Trade of the Day - Atheros Communications, Inc. (Public, NASDAQ:ATHR)

ATHR was an earnings gap from the Briefing.com list. It set up a low risk B&B after consolidating sideways. Also, notice that the bar prior to the trigger bar is NR7 and inside. I took a partial as price retested the ORH. I was hoping for a C&H to develop, but eventually it became clear that it was retracing back to the rising 20 EMA, so I closed the balance of my position.

NVDA, from the WL also gapped up and carved out 2 inside bars on declining volume as it consolidated under R2. I went long on a break of the base and took a partial at $35.50, closing the position on weakness shortly after.

i was watching ATHR while in an on-line seminar. it came back to like 33.51 on a retrace too - the first move i would have been looking at 33.80 R.

Jamie,

Nice use of NR inside bars which are more powerful than just NR bars.

AKS offered a nice short off of its drop base.

DRYS was the short bomb off of a tiny NR inside bar - I missed it.

Jim,

I'm still kicking myself on that DRYS miss.
