Gap, also known as gap, is a technical figure that often appears in the process of market continuation. When the gap appears, the market tends to develop rapidly in a certain direction, and the gap also becomes a strong support or resistance area in the future. Therefore, it is an important means to use gap theory to judge the general trend of the market. A, ordinary gap refers to the gap without special form or special function. It can appear in any trend form, but it mostly appears in the market of finishing form. It has an obvious feature that it will fill the gap soon. Because futures is a two-way transaction, investors can take advantage of this feature to grasp some short-term operation opportunities. When the general gap in the upward direction appears, investors can sell near the relatively high point above the gap, then close their positions and buy them back after the gap is closed; When there is a general gap in the downward direction, investors can buy near the relatively low point below the gap and sell it after the gap is closed. The premise of this operation method is that it is necessary to determine whether the gap is ordinary or not, and it must be in a wide range of shocks to sort out the market, so as to adopt this strategy of high throwing and low sucking. Second, breaking through the gap Breaking through the gap refers to the gap formed by the rapid movement of the market in a certain direction and the departure from the original pattern. The emergence of breakthrough indicates that there will be a wave of explosive market in the market outlook, so the analysis of breakthrough gap is of great significance. There are two ways to break through the gap, one is to break through the gap upwards, and the other is to break through the gap downwards. According to the technical trend of soybeans in May, this paper briefly analyzes the application of position breaking in futures trading:

1. Break through the gap upwards. The characteristics of the gap are that the turnover increases obviously when the breakthrough is made, and the gap is not closed. After the gap appears, investors can boldly buy mid-line holdings and control the risk with the gap as the stop price. Take the soybean 0405 contract as an example (see attached figure). In the bull market in 2003, the soybean market fluctuated before September 5, 2003, and after the gap broke through on September 5, a typical gap was formed. In the following days, the gap was not covered, and the turnover was obviously enlarged, so it can be determined that the gap is a breakthrough gap. Under the guidance of this gap, the soybean market has launched a magnificent bull market. This bull market continued until the end of 10. After10, it entered a high-level oscillation to sort out the market, with an oscillation range of 3500-3 100. After the oscillating market lasted for three months, on February 25, 2004, the market broke through upward, forming a second gap, and the soybean price has been pushed up by nearly 500 points, setting a record high. 2. Break through the gap downward. The characteristics of this gap are that the turnover increases obviously during breakdown and the gap is not closed. Because the downward force of the market is often fierce, once the gap is penetrated, the lethality will be even greater, which should be paid enough attention to. When the downward breakthrough gap appears, if investors hold more than one order, they should immediately stop the loss decisively and short the backhand; If investors hold empty orders, they can continue to sell at high prices, hold in the middle line, and control the risk with the gap as the stop loss price. When the downward breakthrough gap is formed, the market trend will surely develop in depth and embark on the bear road of no return.

Continuous gap technology:

"Persistent gap" refers to the gap in the process of rising or falling, which is often formed in a period of time between the beginning and the end of the violent fluctuation of stock prices.

Persistent gap is also called measurement gap, that is, the interval that the stock price may continue to change after it reaches the gap is generally equal to the interval from the beginning of the stock price gap to this gap. This gap reflects the stable development of the market and moderate trading volume. In the upward trend, the emergence of the gap between quantity and energy shows that the market is firm; In the downward trend, it shows that the market is weak. Just like the situation of breaking through the gap, in the upward trend, continuous gaps will form support areas in the subsequent market adjustment, and they are usually not covered. Once the price returns to the relay gap, it is a bad signal for the upward trend.

Consumption gap

Consumption gap technology:

In the process of large fluctuations, the price rebounded and made the last jump. However, the last struggle did not last long. In the next few days or even a week, the price immediately began to fall. When the closing price is lower than this final gap, it means that a consumable gap has been formed, so the consumable gap is also called the consumable gap.

The above situation is very typical, indicating that in the upward trend, if the gap is covered, it usually means weakness, which means that the short-term head has been formed and the bulls have completed the last blow. The analytical significance of consumption gap is that it can show that the power to maintain the original trend has weakened and the stock price is about to enter a consolidation or reversal form.

Skills to eliminate the strength gap:

Introduction of ex-dividend gap: Due to institutional factors, after the stock price of listed companies is delivered, there will be an ex-dividend gap, which is manifested as the gap between ex-dividend price and the closing price on the benchmark date. The emergence of this gap provides space for the stock price to rise in the new round of fluctuations, which induces the right-filling market.
