Disliked{quote} @rosalieone -- interesting, thanks. Okay -- I think I can see what you're saying. But how would that affect my trading? Let's say that '2' is the scout and '3' is where the job is finished. I would have opened a BUY trade at the bottom of the red rectangle and closed at '2'. By the time '3' came around I'm long gone. Even if your analysis is spot on, how would it have affected the way I traded that micro-gap? It could be that '2' is used as a spike to take-out some accumulated stop losses, and '3' contributes to a target level (fake resistance)....Ignored
