Actually what I mention about the gap is between the Friday close price and Monday open price, it's not news-related gap.
It's generally news that creates the gap (not necessarily news over the weekend either). Last week, it was the collapse of Lehman Bros that caused it.

If you have a chart that has a gap from Friday close to Monday open (that is not news-related) I advise you to change brokers. It almost never happens.

At least with the broker I use and can bring up 1 minute data or tick data going back years and not find very many instances where this happened without it being due to some news event.
oolides is really gone ?

If it gaps I'm almost sure it does to the downside and acumen can buy his mountainbike with his 4 open position.
I need it to keep in shape.

I keep telling my wife that I am in shape... rounds a shape.

OANDA is good for weekend gaps. Shows you when the movement occurred between Friday NY close and Monday (Aus time) Aussie open.

I also use FxPro, with them you have no idea what happens over the weekend as the platform is inactive during this time.

I repeat, unless there is an unexpected news event, price opens very close to where it closed before the weekend, so whatever happens over the weekend typically is unimportant.

If price gaps and my broker is not open yet, why should I care. Chances there wouldn't be a setup in place with so little time for it to signal before the move already took place. Similar to FOMC announcement times, I would stand aside and wait for the dust to settle. No different if I was able to trade pre-Monday morning open. 5 Days a week X 24 hours is plenty.

5 days a week x 24 hours include the "pre-Monday" open (seems to be more but isn't)

Bemac is working on his unsquare designer bathroom but will finish soon

It's very dangerous to leave a trade open, most brokers ejecute the trade at open price and don't respect the SL, so if you have a 50 pips SL and the gap is 200 they take you the 200 pips.
Why in earth would brokers "respect" the sl ie, pay for your losses when price gaps?

Of course you have to pay if price gaps under/over your SL.
as far as IBFX is concerned, if it opens and there is a gap beyond your SL, your position will close immediately at MARKET prices
as i guess

Stop loss for up trend is 14412 and best is 14356

but long term best is 14126

any one see what i guess

Hi Adwin, your chart is very nice, my wife told me to print it out to put it somewhere because she likes the colors. But have you something to say about it, I mean something what could give us an idea why you post it?

I don't do a lot of guessng about the market because (1) forex is so unpredictable and (2) it pays wherever it is if I'm watching the price action and following my plan. I usually do have opinions, but I seldom trade on them.

In this case, I really don't think the international community wants the EUR/USD up that high. I think they conspired together on 8/8/8 for intervention and I think they've done it once or twice since. The world expects - and needs - the USA to right their ship. If that happens, then the dollar will strenghten. My guess? We'll range 38-47 until either the USA fixes it or all hell breaks loose. If in the long term the USA fails to fix their problems, then EUR will take the lead. We've never seen that since pre-WWII, I guess.

All this said, bear in mind this is just what you asked for - my opinion with a reason. I don't know shxt; hence I trade only what I see.
Up or down, gimme a ticket
I really think there is room to argue that this 700 Billion dollar bailout is a crock of shit!

These bankers need to suck it up, IMO>

Sorry, I didn't notice that you from Vietnam (hope that you will be better on english soon), tried to get in your web page but now I'm more confused than before, let's leave it like it is till we get better comunication.
Sorry again.
A lot of folks keep referring to 8.8.8 in conspiracy-like tones. Here is an excerpt from news that day. And this was at the same time price was coming into a previously strong support area. Once that broke, hello 1.4xxx's.

Currencies and Economic News
In currency news, the dollar continued its gains against the euro. Late Thursday, the euro was trading at $1.5413 vs. $1.5473 on Wednesday.
The dollar's upswing brought it to its highest value in almost eight weeks.

The rise was fueled largely by concerns about European economic weakness rather than by strong U.S. data.

European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet predicted that European economic growth would slow in the second half of 2008.

The ECB held interest rates at 4.25% in an effort to combat inflation, but this may further exacerbate its current economic slowdown.

"The market is entitled to be scaling back significantly amid further ECB tightening," stated David Simmons of Royal Bank of Scotland Group. "Policy makers will continue to focus on inflation, but some of the real economic data has been pretty grim. In my opinion, 2009 will include a European rate cut and a weak euro story.''

According to Kevin Edgeley of Goldman Sachs, if the euro were to drop below $1.53, it "would signal a longer-term dollar bull phase" and could result in a drop to $1.46.
