If price forms a ledge just above an opening gap, go short a couple 
of ticks below the ledge or just into the gap (the second entry is 
more conservative, but gives up more slippage). Look to exit or 
reduce position when price closes the gap. Initial stop is just above 
ledge. Calculate your risk/reward based on gap size vs ledge size.

Naturally, the tactic is reversed if price gaps down on opening.
