Trading ES down gaps after 15 day low close.

The ES emini contract is currently trading down 13 points.  Yesterday the $spx closed at a multiday low.  Below is a equity curve of a strategy that fades down gaps when the previous day closed at a 15 day low.  The strategy exits at gap fill or at end of day.
 
 
 
As you can see this would suggest a decent historic edge.  Again, please note this set-up does not include factors such as seasonality, trend, gap size average drawdown etc, other factors that need to be considered.  Please trade at your own risk.
