we approaching 50% fib of friday close and today high. the thing is it could bounce off this level or a close below this could signal a good short to cover the gap.

Remember, it's not a gap as there were many trades that were going on at the weekend to push it up to that point, so just imagine lots of candle sticks going up and down over a 2 day period in the 'gap'.

That 'gap' is real people trading causing it to go up, and they were wanting to buy, so they did.
never thought of it that way..... true though how else would it move

agree 100% here, the gap signifies little to nothing, could open some tights shorts to scrape some pips, did a few ones already but am away to open positions right now to get the feel after UK opens

not sure what you on about but if you talking bout my eat dirt comment then Bull BEar just closed his long at TP...

Trading over the weekend is not trading... it's gambling.

In all of his debates, Magix's primary message and theme from
the beginning has been to protect the newbies and learners and
is just plain good advise for all. At the end of the 'day' we grade
our trading decisions by our final account balances, how safely
they are protected and if in fact they're still intact.

Another one of my trading buddies says he only works one
'day' a week... it begins 5pm NY Sunday and ends Friday NY
5pm. I'm sure he sleeps especially well on the weekends.

No worries.... remember most of us here are newbies.

Based on probability, shorting when there is a 'gap' on the weekend can be a fruitful trade. I have done it in the past with success.

Just backtest it to death to get the best settings, forward test it on demo, and then just let the system run.

This statement is dependent upon a persons strategy. One could have a scalping strategy, using high leverage, and true, in this scenario it would be a gamble.

However if you are a long term position trader weekend gaps of 160 pips are nothing.

First off, well done to Micky (Leftie) for joining an elite group of players to win 3 or more green jackets. He played some awesome golf with his aggresive style and has the best short game in the current field of professionals. Yes, even better than Tiger, although Seve is the all-time master and I really hope to see him play golf at The Open. Speedy recovery Seve!

Thank you for your kind comments. My charting skills are still in its infancy, but my learning of this skill has certainly been expedited through the senior traders on this thread. Now that I have the right tools (MT4) I certaintly hope to add my charts more often to this thread. The best time for me to do this is at weekends and evenings as I do have a day job that prevents me from spending much time on it, especially now that my boss is back from his holidays.

Saying that I do have two days off. Tomorrow I am focusing on Forex and it will be a day of study and hopefully I will add a chart or two too. Tuesday will be a family day and we will be going out to a venue which is undecided as yet.

Time for bed now and I will see you all nice, bright and bushy tailed early in the morning.

This move up on such thin volume does not bode well for the shorters. SY weakened the dollar based on the IMF bailout of Greece today. If we don't see a move back to below 54 soon, TY could well take this towards 55 and London even higher tomorrow. 552 for London close feasible.

I am off to bed see you guys in the morning, trade carefully.

A move on weak volume is a great opportunity for shorters IMO.

Not saying that your immediate topside target is out of whack, we are in a current uptrend, BUT....

We still have an area to cover.

The primary 2 sessions of cable haven't seen the Gapped area of chart, those 2 sessions being both London and NY...London the better of the 2 to use as a gauge.

That being said, we could still move up before we move down, but a retrace is imminent.
