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.
This from a man who cried for a month straight that we had doji weekly bars, and that the price was going to 1.400. then when the price dropped to 3265, you went and hid on another forum until we got this retrace. You remind me of a forex gypsy bouncing around like that. until we reach 3800, the fat lady hasn't sung. If we do, I will gladly concede and say you were right. But if we drop back down to the 3300's, I'm going to gladly tell you to kiss my ass, and then send you to the ignore club. Time will tell.

In addition, my trade station with FXCM allows me to place trades at 5:15pm thus showing a gap before the rest of the market opens at 6:00 pm.
All that is left in FF is just plain garbage. "Cloggie"

Good article thanks. So it's best to have a euro account that starts ticking 1 hour before US account to get the jump on the gap? Hopefully this bloody gap will gap it's butt back to the analysis I painstakingly calculated and illustrated for all.
Nothing is guaranteed in forex. But your 'edge' is to go with the higher probability, and gap closure has been historically complete 90% of the time -based on the article- in a few hours after the Asian session. Don't forget your MM though!

i don't know why, but i don't trust this temptation to short the gap.
the big-players know what people are going to do...
Gaps tend to close very well. If they would be a "Trap" then this would not generally be the case. But it might take up to NY session for this to happen. Just my observations from the days when gaps where almost "normal" situation.

Nothing wrong with taking the elevator down, with SMALL lot that is....

This price is a tricky one. It jumped over the big tl without touching it too much. i just wait and watch. Can't lose anything with that.
Sometimes I lose. Sometimes the others win.

We didn't witness anything like that even when FED dropped the rate .5, so this on Greece temporary rescue plan is just too much, likely to be closed.
Prices oscillate, trends persist. Trend is your friend.

But hey don't take the articles word for it, check for yourself. I did. Pull up your charts and look and see just how many times the gap has been filled. I counted in the last 3 years 2 times that the gap wasn't filled on the 1 hour charts.

so 1.4000 or ignore club ? I agree . The only thing I have to lose if in ignore club is the banter with you as most of your posts are complete crap anyway

I mentioned a few weeks back I am bullish euro and will buy every dip ... guess what this is exactly what i have been doing. As for forex gypsy ... stuff that comment where the sun don't shine. I told you ALL what I was doing and how I felt and that is how i still feel.

As for Greece failing ... come on think eurozone will ever let that happen ? Just like feds will never let GS , BOA or any other to big to fail bank go down. And if they will let Greece fail what better way to do it than ramp eu back to 1.4000 / 1.4500 1st . Kind of like you buying your new car at half price discount.

also do not forget what I am or what I do . I am a day trader. I will trade long side but buy dips till I see reason not to on eu this week,/

atr21 is 106 on daily , weekly is 290 pip , this week I feel we may see 400 pip. 1.3900.... AND I AM NOT KIDDING !!!

EU/JPY....i put a post up on it having only given 5 or so back of the gap and now its moving...looking at a daily chart theres isnt even a MA close to lend support unless it can fight to close at 1.2713 ...i think this is a good short here.

4hour swing hihg 1,3600 .... that break than maybe chance of gap filling BUT we may just take off from that as there really is NO gap

I think the 1.3600 level is key for now.

see you not in a sense of humour mode and really do dislike me. There was me thinking we were having freindly banter poking at each other back and forth

Doesn't change the fact that you claimed 1.400 last month and you were dead wrong. In regards to my comments being crap. I bet if you look at how many times I called a direction that turned out positive opposed to yours, you'll see who was really crap. Charts don't mean squat if the direction isn't there to prove it. Not hard to pull up past posts, the GPB/YEN scalpers thread that you started is where I first met you. You claim you are a day trader. So what is it? Your'e a forex Gypsy, and I think I have to introduce you to the ignore list a little sooner than anticipated. It's sad, because I had got some good pointers from you at one time. But it seems that ego has grown larger than my 32inchers. in closing, you were wrong last month big time, let's see about this month.

It's pretty straightforward.. Shorts said "we're not going to make anymore money on this move (for now)" and covered.. and there were a TON of shorts obviously..

Now we're in for a tug-o-war before heading in a decisive direction.

I might be 100% wrong ... buit why are oyu adding more short

last 4 hour swing high was 1.3600. We moved up thru that already and price is hanging out above that levle

As longs as price is above that level we are in the 1.3600 to 1.3700 channel. 1,3700 breaks 1.3800 ...
You are driving with a magnifying glass stuck in your eyes my friend !!

Your volume spread approach on the market is just like everything else....it works when it works.

Take a look at the picture below and tell me HONESTLY if according to a risk reward point of view a up or down trend is in place

On one hand you have the 3600 level support with a double top target at 3800 on h4, which is also a monthly pivot. On the other hand you have a big gap. What to do? hmmm
