So, here's a thought, just in case any of you widely knowledgeable folks might wanna chip in to help clarify: I assume we all know how the market deals with gaps. I know I read once - and experienced it hundreds of times - that the markets will move to close gaps 99% of the time. Cool. Now, over the weekend, my broker closed shop 3hrs prior to official market close, and only re-opened 10hrs ago. Whilst my own broker (and I assume most of your brokers too) disabled trades, I know for a fact that the markets kept working. I closely followed Bloomberg...
chasing prices will make you lose Direction.

using TIME for direction and DOW reading is the best option to organize the market for better entries and exits.

M30 example:
BB= 48 bars in 1 day
ZZ= 12 bars for 6H reading
any OB/OS & Divergence indi's to confirm readings for entries and exits with Direction.
Notice: your trading TIME not TF.

USDCHF vs GBPUSD
The rise in the pound-dollar seemed to be due to the dollar falling, not the pound being bought.
The daily bar of the GBPUSD H4 chart was below CandleLow, but it has recovered a little, but it is in a downtrend.
If you have a different opinion, please guide me.

{quote} I guess we might be headed to close mentioned gap, after all
Whether a gap closes or not is not of much importance for me. I see that H1 is on a pullback in a larger up swing, with M15 expected to make a rally to be sold that takes H1 further down.

After the tug of war at 2100... Safe to say the BEARS have won that battle. For now
The bears on which time frame??? On H1, yes. The bears of D1, no. See my point?

Well I would say if you are into gaps you should take a sample of gaps on historical chart timeframe upon you Basically they are visible on smaller timeframes

Test it out and see whether it moves that way as you say and closes gap always

If so for a period of 6 months so I can say and if its happening you should try it on a small Live Account

If it works going forward you can devise a plan based on it

Try to TP Distance always more

And your account might keep growing

I see the GBPUSD Daily as being in a rally of a bigger down trend, putting an up bias currently.

the consideration

if that falling wedge will work out, we can get over 1.2120
we will see how strong the resistance is at 1.2120 and how big is the interest in closing the gap on the usindex

Yes, I can agree with you.

The point, however, is that I was incorporating a lesson I learned over the years to help me view my conviction with suspicion. Since last week, I'd been in favor of a BULLISH move. Earlier trading seemed to support what others here also viewed as a bull market.

But I closed my trades because of the lesson of gaps. So, even if we're eventually going to head back up, I still get to save myself either the SL hit happening right now for bulls, or the punishment of holding on to a losing position while the market aims to close a gap.

It's just the lesson there, is all.

GBPCAD must be on a roll now

As Gbpusd and Usdcad both bearish

I am going to expand my portfolio soon and include cross currencies as well such as GBPCAD

When I read the book that brought the gaps to my attention, the author mentioned that from his own historical analysis, there is a 100% chance that gaps close 9 out of 10 times.

I read that book in 2011. The years that followed, from my own trades, experience and observations, I can tell you that I believe the writer was absolutely correct.

We don't even need to go too far to find validation. What's happening right now is another proof of how any trader who masters the gaps can profit from them.

Maybe someone else here will take note too and start observing.

Thats the observation "GBPUSD still in downtrend"

And as per my setups thats true standing and valid

Currently I am following GBPUSD and USDCAD and below H4 confirms both being bearish
The former in a sustained bearish move
The latter just starting a bearish move

Looking good thus far.

Once and if price gets above 1.2081 the buy will be sustained until 1.2134

Nice Real Nice

If so an EA can be made on it

Have you thought about that

A Test on it would reveal everything

Nope, I've never thought I'm smart enough to make an EA I've always had the impression that it's too technical a venture to embark upon.

This one is Simple I think

The EA should look for gaps between bars with Y Pips distance
