Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Technical Analysis of Gaps
Julie R. Dahlquist · 2012
80/100
👍 Worth It
Dahlquist and Bauer did something that almost no one had done before — they took sixty years of market data and actually tested what gaps predict rather than just describing what traders believe about them. Winning the Charles H. Dow Award is meaningful peer recognition in this field. It is dense and narrow, and retail traders without a quantitative background will find it heavy going, but active traders who want evidence rather than folklore will find this essential.
