Find and trade the hidden gaps in markets that never close, with three complete strategies and the code for seven platforms.
I run a private hedge fund of nearly 2,500 breakout strategies. This is how I turn hidden gaps into a breakout edge, with the real numbers from 15 years of NASDAQ data.

Learn to see it again, and three things open up for you.
Hide a window of the day and the gap comes right back. You'll learn exactly how, and which window actually pays. On the NASDAQ, the textbook overnight gap came last, and the one almost nobody looks at came first.
A continuation long, a fade long and a short, with the real rules and the real numbers from 15 years of data. Every one comes with complete code for TradeStation, MultiCharts, NinjaTrader, TradingView, MetaTrader 5, AmiBroker and Python.
The three strategies are built to disagree. Put them together and the portfolio's worst drawdown was less than half of their drawdowns added up, with an average daily correlation of almost exactly zero.
...you've heard gaps don't exist anymore. They do. They're just hidden, filled in with overnight bars. This playbook shows you how to see them again, on any market, at any hour.
...you already trade gaps the classic way. You'll find out whether the overnight gap is even your best gap, and how to trade it as a breakout instead of guessing at the open.
...you're not a programmer. Every strategy comes with complete code for seven platforms, so you can load it instead of writing it.
"I created 8 profitable strategies in under a week using what I learned from Tomas. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with fellow traders."
"Trading and developing strategies for more than 7 years now... BTA has boosted my trading to another level. I wish I had this at the beginning of my journey."
"After I analyzed the work of so many traders for years, I can count you as one of the handful of genuine traders and educators whose methods actually work."
"It's hard to know who to trust in the trading industry. Luckily, I found Tomas Nesnidal and his courses. He is sincere and can make a big difference for retail traders."
For years I believed what everyone says about gap trading: it's dead. Futures trade nearly 24 hours a day now, so the market never closes long enough to leave a gap on the chart.
Then a friend of mine, who'd done very well trading gaps for years, showed me his strategies, and I couldn't reproduce his results. It turned out he'd been running everything on the wrong timezone. He'd never once traded the real opening gap. His edge was in a window nobody looks at.
That got me thinking. Who says a gap has to be measured overnight? So I went into BreakoutOS and tested 225 opening gap strategies on the E-mini NASDAQ, across three different windows of the day.
The result for long continuation gaps. The after-hours gap ranked first. The textbook overnight gap, the one every book teaches, ranked last.
The gap never died. It got filled in with overnight bars, and you can still trade it.
In this playbook I've shared the real stuff: how to see a gap in a market that never closes, how I turn it into a breakout instead of guessing at the open, the three strategies that came out of that research, and the complete code to run them.
It's 11 plays, start to finish, for $10. My goal is simple. I want you to finish it and think, "I can't believe I got all this for ten bucks." Then I want you to take the method to your own markets.
All three are included, yours to keep, with lifetime access and any future updates.
The premium, fully designed playbook as a downloadable PDF. Read it anywhere, print it, and keep it forever.
All four of my gap videos play right where they belong, every diagram and result is right next to the method, and a clean dark-mode reader makes it a pleasure to work through.
Every strategy in the book, plus the weekday versions and the robustness checks, in code for seven platforms. Copy it in one click or download the files.
Plays 1 to 5 give you the method. Plays 6 to 8 are the strategies. Plays 9 to 11 show you how to sharpen them, combine them and take them to new markets.
Where gaps came from, the trader who made them famous, and why they only look like they've disappeared.
How to see a gap in a market that never closes: pick a window, hide its bars, and measure the difference.
The same clock that can wreck a gap strategy found one trader his edge. Learn both sides of it.
Stop using the gap as a signal. Use it as the starting line for a breakout, and let volatility decide the entry.

I want to reward action takers - the traders who actually put this to work, not the ones who let it sit in a folder gathering dust. So here's the deal: get the playbook, and run through the plays over the next 60 days. If not even one of them earns its place in your trading toolkit, email me and I'll refund every cent. No forms, no hoops, no hard feelings. For 60 days, the risk is mine, not yours.
I'm a full-time trader, and I specialize exclusively in breakouts. I co-founded Breakout Trading Academy and created BreakoutOS, and back in 2017 I launched my own algorithmic hedge fund built entirely around breakout trading. Today I run a portfolio of close to 2,500 strategies across global futures markets.
My work has been featured in Stocks & Commodities, Traders' Magazine, Interactive Brokers, Futures Truth, and dozens of trading publications worldwide. Everything in this playbook comes from that same hedge-fund research - the real settings, the real testing process, and the real techniques I run on live capital every day.
That's what most traders think, and it's exactly why this works. The overnight move still happens. It just gets printed bar by bar instead of leaving a hole on the chart. Hide a window of the day and the gap comes right back. Play 2 shows you how, and Play 5 shows you which window carried the edge on the NASDAQ.
The three strategies were built and tested on the E-mini NASDAQ futures. The method works on any market with a busy main session and quieter hours around it, and Play 11 maps out where else to look: other index futures, the DAX, the Nikkei, stocks, forex and crypto.
Every strategy comes with complete code for seven platforms: TradeStation, MultiCharts, NinjaTrader, TradingView, MetaTrader 5, AmiBroker and Python. As with any code, load it, check a few trades on the chart, and set it up on the right timezone before you trust it. The book shows you how.
They're backtests on 15 years of E-mini NASDAQ data, before commission and slippage, on one contract, and I show you exactly how they were tested, including the ideas that failed. Play 6 explains how I judge whether a strategy can carry its costs. They're a starting point to test on your own data, not a promise of future returns.
Instant digital access to the full 11-play playbook in two formats (an interactive online edition and a downloadable PDF), The Code Pack, and the two bonuses. Everything is delivered electronically, by email, the moment you order.
