This 5 Candle Trick Will Completely Change Your Trading

A stock gaps up 5% and suddenly everyone wants to know what happens next. Does it keep going, or does the move completely fall apart? The Gap and Go vs. Gap and Crap strategy gives you a simple way to answer that question using a 5 candle pattern. It works across stocks and timeframes and gives you a specific level to watch after a significant gap up. Here's how it works. Start by measuring the gap between the previous day's close and the next day's open. Then mark the low of the gap candle, including the bottom of the wick. That becomes your line in the sand. From there, watch the next three candles. If any of those candles closes below the low of the gap candle, you've got a Gap and Crap. The stock gapped higher but failed to maintain its momentum. If the stock holds above that level and continues moving higher, you've got a Gap and Go. The gap can act like a momentum boost, giving the stock the opportunity to continue higher without getting in its way. There are plenty of real-world examples. Palantir had an 11% gap after earnings before falling below the key level within three candles. Meta produced examples of both Gap and Crap and Gap and Go behavior. Micron had a 9.61% gap that continued higher, while Nvidia and AMD provide additional examples of the pattern in action. After the fifth candle, the specific Gap and Go or Gap and Crap pattern is finished and you can return to normal price action. ✅ 5 candle Gap and Go strategy ✅ Gap and Crap trading strategy ✅ How to identify and trade stock gaps ✅ Palantir, Meta, Micron, Nvidia, and AMD examples ✅ How to use the gap candle low as your key level Add this Gap and Go and Gap and Crap method to your trading toolkit and start watching what happens after stocks make significant gap-up moves.
