Quoting F.x.
You just said Oanda is gapping 60 pips up right now so why place a short?
Listen I was short from 1.3600 on friday. When it was in the money friday in the 4pm houru I mived my stop to 1.3594.

It is going to gap to looks like 1.3615 - 1.3630 area. Meaning my short from 1.3600 which was profitable and had a S/L at 1.3594 is going to ger stopped and filled in the 1.3615 - 1.3630 area, way above my stop and way above my short entry from Friday.

And besides I dont even trade on Oanda I trade on FXCM im waitign to see where the fill is. They wont tell me until 5 PM at which point they will probably post a fill at the peek of this gap.

What dont you understand whale
the 30 pips,
Oanda spread is 10 pips at the moment
I have 2 shorts open already, 1 @ 1.3612 and 1 @ 1.3625 and keep building up.
Target 1.3430, Stop 1.3750. Big s/l this time coz I'm quite convinced that it doesn't get that far.

Lesson to be learned that I learned long time ago:
Don't hold trades over the weekend.

The question that remains to be seen is in this pre market action will my broker stop me at my S/L? Is that all part of the pre market volumn?

Your broker will most likely just try to screw you. That's his job and ultimate pleasure.

This will be interesting. FXCM shows a low for this session at 1.3557 and a high of 1.3641. My stop was at 1.3594. If it opened pre market under my 1.3594 stop shouldnt they just stop me out where I had placed it?

6 minutes and they will open the trading floor and my execution will show.

They where closed and can't / don't trade pre market so you where stuffed.

Could you not cancel the SL before the open ??

And if it races higher then they've saved you
Nothing to it, but to do it!!! Stick to the plan FOOL!!!!

That's the reason that I don't hold over the weekend anymore.
I closed Friday with a small loss but now I'm happy that I did.

In that case you've just learned a very valuable lesson. Leaving SL, TP and limit orders anywhere near the Friday close will likely end up with you getting screwed, particularly by the brokers who open later than Oanda so you can't change your order.

Yep. Banks use the low liquidity of the weekend to fill orders at clearance prices. Th Forex markets are only closed to retail on weekends. It goes24/7.
