WTF???

Wow, this is one hell of a gap. Took a small short position @ 1.3644, with this large of a gap I just couldn't resist.

Nice surprise for those who where long. Not so nice for those shorts...

Wonder what happens when all brokers open and stops above 35 and 36 will be hit.

But FXCM has a gap. Don't be such a know it all.
Tony.

esignal and other feeds come on line at 10 am pst , fxcm and mt4 platforms and hecne charting do not come online till 2pm pst , 4 hours later , by which time the real market has already moved showing gaps.

Come on mate you are a senior trader and should know this..

Are you feeiling a little sore about looking like an idiot ? lol ... think I am kidding now ? 1.3800 see you there later this week ... hell maybe even later today

of course Tony . I hope you are taking all this banter in fun .... I am and having fun with it.

Me 2 ,
This Gap reply for some guys says there is no such a gap at weekend
This was quite common in EOF 2008 when shit hit the fan. Much was decided on weekends.

I saw such gaps but surely did not expect one THAT big today.

But even in 2008 most of them closed....

Shorted @ 1.3663, pinbar on 5 min chart.

SL set just above 1.3700, (now moved to breakeven +5).

Reason I shorted was:

a-the gap

b-the pinbar on 5mins

c-heard the news about "the offer" of a 30bn loan to greece, (which is apparantly only around 10% of Greece's overall debt)

d- I'm slightly intoxicated!!!!

Malcolm, could you post futures chart of today's price action, because I still think that there was a hell of a lot of slippage, I doubt it was a gradual rise.

Hi Pippy,

Did your SL protect you from the gap??
For me it closes a position as soon as the market opens at a current price (regardless of SL).

Thx,
