    Hi Moto, thanks....it's still logical....all these gaps created now by big and small investors/traders/perhaps institutions who knows.....

    I am more for fundamentals and just learning some technical...but here is some follow on...there isn't much stock here, there is news-flow, more results pending, MD presenting at AMEC....it's the reason why I didn't mind buying a few more today

    Breakaway Gaps

    Breakaway gaps are the exciting ones. They occur when the price action is breaking out of their trading range or congestion area

    Don't fall into the trap of thinking this type of gap, if associated with good volume, will be filled soon. It might take a long time. Go with the fact that a new trend in the direction of the stock has taken place, and trade accordingly.

    Runaway Gaps

    Runaway gaps are also called measuring gaps, and are best described as gaps that are caused by increased interest in the stock. For runaway gaps to the upside, it usually represents traders who did not get in during the initial move of the up trend and while waiting for a retracement in price, decided it was not going to happen. Increased buying interest happens all of a sudden, and the price gaps above the previous day's close. This type of runaway gap represents an almost panic state in traders. Also, a good uptrend can have runaway gaps caused by significant news events that cause new interest in the stock.

    Conclusion

    There is an old saying that the market abhors a vacuum and all gaps will be filled. While this may have some merit for common and exhaustion gaps, holding positions waiting for breakout or runaway gaps to be filled can be devastating to your portfolio. Likewise, waiting to get on-board a trend by waiting for prices to fill a gap can cause you to miss the big move.
