Double lucky, since I guess you don't have to work a "day job"

i've got the same order...looks pretty obvious to me...a break of the multiple lows and I would expect price to move quickly...(a build up of stops and sell orders)if it doesnt I'd be concerned.

lol...you did confuse me there...had to double check other feeds as your EG (which I though was EU) looked pretty different to mine lol.

I mucked up on EG earlier today.

No real price action on lower timeframes (well none that I could say was tradable) but a heavy confluenced area with the trend.

attached is set up i took and mismanaged!! as you can see it took off!!!

i initially put my stop loss 90% of the way down on the pin bar and my buy stop 10 points above the pinbar
go into the trade the started going my way and then shifted my stop loss to top of pin bar. of course the price went down enough to stop out and then go directly to my TP and above!!!

what an excellent lesson i have learned, you need test every little thing for every set up you intend to play

Now i know about the timing of moving to BE.

Dont know if Jim still comes in here but thanks a million i will definitely be joining the PF in about 2 months!!

Great question, hope some folks respond.

I was temped to play the EURUSD break of 1.3550 down to about 1.3500, filling the gap and the break of the lows since the gap, but was not sure if it was a good play or not.

When in doubt, stay out.

Not for me. I am pretty ok on the sidelines, while all the gaps get properly filled and the markets align themselves again...

I reckon you'll get another chance...it initially bounced of a 4HR PPZ and is now retracing from another 4H PPZ...the TL now lines up with the lower PPZ...Oil is bouncing of a confluenced area too.

Hey Bertie

The exact answer why is nothing more to know then the markets were moving prior to when your broker was open(remember they are 24/7 markets). So there was some party who desired to be getting into the market at that time. This creates that gap that use when your broker finally does open. Gaps are notorious for closing, especially in the forex markets and thus create opportunities both on them to close(remember they don't have to close right away http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...ostcount=56615 ) and also these gaped areas often act as a PPZ in themselves(see my last few posts).

Hope that helps
Mike
