{quote} What gap is that?
there are times that the "Pit Trading platforms) are close, for indices these levels are important as the PA often returns to these levels.
I always have at least one chart with these levels clearly displayed as different colours lines and also in labels indicate these levels for a given instrument.

For DOW, FTSE and FX I use London Open and Close and US Open and Close
For Dax I add Frankfurt Open and Frankfurt, as Zurich closes at that same time as the US CloseAttachment g

Sorry I see lines but no gaps. Unless you are talking about minuscule 1 and 2 tick ones?

If that is the case those are ones you are looking at and very few others. BTW my live to the tick chart has no open gaps. Even from the Friday close to Sun night open.

dow closed at 25798.8 yesterday evening
anything above or below this close creates a gap
US pit time opens at at 2;30 London time "pit time " is an old term, but is useful anyway

in today's case take the current price level and subtract from it the us close at 25798.5 and than you have the current size of the gap
Gaps can be filled in completely, or partly
Very large gaps might not be filled in due to some tectonic market movements usually based on fundamentals

Hi SunTrader,
Charts that I have posted are displaying DOW futures, a derivative of the real DOW witch trades during "Pit Time"
In the first 30 minutes of the US open I managed to get just over 70 pips (trading US 30 futures)

Ok so you are looking at a chart only displaying traditional pit time hours. My chart is of the Dow futures covering complete 24 hour globex period. IMO not a good thing to be watching just pit action in this roaring bull market. Gaps can stand open for a looooong time. But what do I know.
