Trading the EU weekend gap!

Yeah I know, I know, there are no gaps in Forex.

But since a lot of times, there are gaps from Friday, to Sunday, on my charts, I will trade what I see.

This thread is for the gap and non existant gap discussions that tend to happen every Sunday after market opening.

Congratulation for the thread , good to see it.
Gap exists or not in real time does not matter but the bucket shop open & close there almost always a gap & almost always fill quick or soon anyway by broken related or market .

Good easy bucks in easiest way perhaps , at least we have the target almost fixed for the timebeing.

thanks , fontu

I may have picked you up the wrong way, but if you are interested in exploiting the weekend gap, you might like to try / checkout One night Stand method, by Joel Rensink. It buys /sells, under certain conditions, only on fridays, and exits on monday mornings. Might be worth a look.
