Spot Prior-Close Gap Clip Sizer

Turn prior close, live/open, quote equity, and a max-loss % into gap %, invalidation, and a sized clip — fade toward fill or chase continuation — then open Kinetix Trade (Spot) and place the ticket yourself.

Example: yesterday’s close, $65,000
Example: session open or current print
Example: 5,000 USDT available for Spot
Example: risk 1% if invalidation prints
Rest a limit toward prior close — don’t chase the open print

Planning math only — not investment advice, not a profit guarantee, and not an order ticket. Gaps can keep running; live fees and fills can differ from this sketch.

How the gap clip is sized

Gap % is (live − prior) ÷ prior. Max risk dollars = quote equity × max-loss %. Fade toward fill: on a gap-up, rest a limit buy at prior; invalidation sits one full gap below prior. On a gap-down, buy the live print; invalidation sits one full gap below live. Chase continuation: on a gap-up, market-buy live; invalidation = prior (fill = thesis broken). On a gap-down, no long clip — stay flat or sell a bag on Spot. Clip base = risk ÷ (entry − invalidation), then clipped to quote equity at entry.

Educational planning aid for Spot. Size the gap clip, then execute on Kinetix Trade when ready.
