This was the only clean gap up, with decent consolidation before the open. I took this on a 2min ORB break. It was a 5cent spreader so I was a little hesitant to take it and I got a bad fill on my long. The volume of my trigger candle candle was higher than the opening 2min candle, which is a very good sign for a gapper of this magnitude. If you look at a 1 min chart it had a nice pullback to VWAP before the pop and then ORB break, which would have been a better entry. I wish I would have held the 2nd sell longer and held a lotto position for the bounce off VWAP.

Thanks, yes I agree on the spread, I took it with a little smaller size.

Nice trade, this was a scary trade for me because of the bid ask spread.
