Profit Source	Description
Volatility	The path of the market can be summarised as volatility. This can be removed by selling into rises and buying into falls.
Gaps	Gaps in immediate favour of an existing position are an immediate profit. Gaps against an existing position have saved dealing at all the prices gapped over. Gaps are just another view of volatility and can be seen as compensation for missing the volatility profits when having a non-trading life.
Slippage	In practice, over 90% of slippage is in the favour of the trader who sees all moves as volatility.
Retracements	This is just another view of volatility. It is common for market moves to retrace by about 30%, 50% or 60%. Typically anything over 30% provides for the unloading of previously acquired positions at a profit ignoring other profit sources.
