2 hours to market open for me so a likely gap will form...looking @ Oanda (open 24/7) can see that USD is broadly down with EU up some 70 pips already...presumably agreement annouced on Greece loans today is being received positively by the market.

It wouldn't matter if they did would it as wouldn't that just mean price would return to your entry...being positive it would hopefully then pick up some sellers that got left behind by the gap and back down we go.

One of the great advantage of Oanda is being open 24/7 you can react to weekend news before the rest of the market opens...spreads are rubbish but when you expect 80+ pips moves that doesn't matter. I know these aren't technical trades but sometimes you cannot ignore the news IMO as there are certain news events which change market sentiment instantly creating very high probability trades.

Since the terrible plane crash that took out half the Polish political elite, one could imagine some sort of volatility in their currency.

It was just an example of the sort of thing that could cause weekend gaps. Not at all sure it will, just an example.

I don't care . . about that. I don't care if once my net zero gain happens or my stop loss at break even gets hit and then Price runs for a ZILLION pips. Because trust me, IT WILL HAPPEN. Oh boy . .will it happen. But guess what . .. it will also happen in reverse. Price takes you out at break even and runs behind you for a zillion pips. That's when you smile and never forget.

I hope this helps, skin. Ask questions please.

This is what I mean about a zillion pips. lol

Those that placed their S/L above the PB . . .. good for you. Well done.

No, I don't consider the RR before I make a trade. It is usually after the fact that I look at the RR of a given trade, if I do at all.

My main focus is looking at the Quality of the setup by its Location, Supporting Confluences and the Structure of the Price Action Formation in terms of size, shape, Opens/Close, etc.

I do tend to have tight stop loss placements on a given setup with the 1st target in mind. Many times, once the 1st target is hit the RR on the setup isn't fullfilled yet. So a trader will wait until it is hit.

I look at the...
