it must have been there coz everyone said so but it probably filled so quickly that you couldn't see it
You can't plot it on a chart because it moves too fast for the naked eye to see.

Yup I think they call that a Bermuda Triangle gap.

I hope we don't have a gap here in the next 30 minutes coz I'm off to get a Philly steak sandwich @ Hooters. Maybe I'll see a gap there?
You never know!!

First short got stopped at BE, now i have another one at 1.3042 with sl at BE already and TP at 1.2779, I'm off to bed. Good trading ya all.
For that profit set on your Broker and SL BE at 1.3042, if do not close your trade, it will be the trade of your life.

I had been with a group of people and then I saw your post regarding this "GAP" one more time- it is always tempting me to play some "pocket billiards" if you know what I mean 
Its all in the mind.

No, I shorted huge at 3055 and want to exit soon, but wanted to wait for the spread to shrink. Not sure I want to wait a few hours though...
