Yesterday's Forecast and Review
Yesterday's Forecast:
Before Gap
The high probability areas confirmed by both structure and timing are the H-C(1095.50 to 1091) for short and O-L(1088 to 1083.50) for long zones.  There is a very good chance that this trade will trigger and I will take this trade. 
Stop is 6.5.
After Gap
According to Table - 3, if the market opens above the open(1088 ) and it closes the gap at 1091, then I will enter at the direction of closing the gap for 4 additional points.
Stop is 6.5.
Yesterday's Review:
Before Gap - ES opened at 1091.25 only one tick above the close and in H-C zone.  This zone was high probability but most of the gap faded just before open so there was not much profit to be made from this trade.  However, it did trigger a successful After Gap trade.
After Gap -  The market opened in H-C zone and closed the gap immediately.  This triggered an excellent After Gap trade.  The win rate was 92% and profit factor 9.2, an amazing rare situation.  I shorted the market at 1091 and it reached my target of 4 points in about 10 minutes.  I remember one other setup like this before and the market acted exactly the same way.  So I am happy I made some profit from this trade, but the satisfaction I get from seeing my hard work is resulting in a system that is working so accurately is far more.

Today's Forecast Summary:
Before Gap
The only high probability area confirmed by both structure and timing are the H zone (above 1095.50) for short.
Stop is 6.
After Gap
According to Table - 3, if the market opens above the open(1091.25 ) and it closes the gap at 1090.25, then there is high probability that the market will continue going down another 4 points.
Stop is 6.
