The key is to not bet the farm and it's a good play.

I'm short at 1.4880, small position.

Added, still small, 1.4870
The only reason we see the gap is due to when our broker opens. does anyone out here have a esignal feed?? would be interesting to know what this pair did during the afternoon. I too am shorting this "gap" but would be cool to know what was up say at 3pm est. anyone?

That I have seen in the past. Generally when the gap gets closed within the 1st 1 to 2 hours of broker openings, the market tends to head back opposite the gap until the N.Y session. Contrary to that, when the gap takes 4 to 6 hours to close, the market generally closes the gap and then proceeds in same direction well in excess of 100 pips. Just an observation that I have noticed since studying gaps for the last 8 months.
All that is left in FF is just plain garbage. "Cloggie"

True and not so true. Central banks don't close, and have the ability to buy or sell while most brokers are sleeping sound. FXCm is one of the earlier opening brokers, and the gap existed on their charts at 4:00pm est. I also saw this gap at 10:0am est on market quotes web site. They show real time market rates 24 hours 7 days a week.

Good stuff to have when you are doing your weekend analysis of the past week, and want an idea of the current market.

Keep shorting in fact short as much as you can, & when a good portion of the ff crowd is short you know what that means next.
They have brought it to just above daily pivot that was an easy play, still strong. R3 is 1.500000001!

(Continuation of strength US futures from Tuesday low, still building, gained squeeze momentum Thurs/Friday, looking forward to Monday continuation, not even sure the bears realize yet there has been an uptrend since Tuesday)

This is only the Asian session, and most of the times the real EU move come during the Eu session.

Nov. 8 (Bloomberg) -- The International Monetary Fund said traders are probably using the dollar to fund “carry trades” around the world and the currency may still be overvalued even after its slide this year.

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?p...DqoEZ.mU&pos=5
Seems like the carry trade is helping push the Euro up and the Dollar down. The AUDUSD (AUD interest rates recently went up) is racing ahead followed by the EUROUSD and the GBPUSD...

Thanks for the article , I shorted it expecting to retrace and closed the gap, but closed when Knuckledrag told me this gaps sometimes are fake, I handle to take a couple of pips profit before the uptrend...
