Yesterday's Forecast and Recap
Yesterday's Forecast:
Before Gap
Both market structure and timing data shown in Table-1 and Table-2 below agree that if the market opens in C-O zone, below the close but above the open of Yesterday(1059.25 to 1025.75), a long trade has a very good chance to succeed.  I am going to take this trade if it triggers.
After Gap
 C-O zone is also a good long trade for After Gap.  I usually take my profit for Before Gap play, then wait for a pull back and go long again for an additional 4 points above close(1063.25).   
Yesterday's Recap:
Before Gap - ES opened at 1062.50,  above the prior day's high of 1059.25 and not in a zone with high probability.  So no trade triggered.
After Gap - No trade triggered..
Additional Comment: Don't be disappointed that this system has trade-able setups only for some days and even if we do have a setup, it may not triggered because the market does not open in a triggering zone.  I expect to see only one or two trades a week and perhaps 5 or 6 per month.  This is like digging gold and diamond hidden in the middle of tons of trash.
Today's Forecast Summary:
Before Gap
Both market structure and timing data shown in Table-1 and Table-2 below agree that if the market opens above close of yesterday (1067) , there is a 69% probability of downward pressure to close the gap.  I will take this trade.  If the up gap is extra ordinary large(+10), I will be cautious and may pass on it.
After Gap
 According to Table - 3, if the market opens above the high (1068.50 ) or below the low (1054) and closes the gap, it is likely that the price continues in the same direction for an additional 4 points.
