there are no gaps
I've heard several people say this. I know the market never really closes and therefore really no gap. But when I say gap I'm refering to the difference in price from a standard brokers Friday close to Mondays open. Whatever you want to call that space between Friday's close and Monday's open, it usually closes (or meets fridays close for the anti-gappers). Perhaps this week is one of those rare occurences where the gap doesn't close due to its size.

So, what do you mean by no gap?

Exactly !


There was no.

Ich kanns langsam nicht mehr hören. Gut, dass es auch noch ein paar ausgeschlafene Jungs gibt. You are right. But the reason is - that most of the members in forum are with services - that were not opened its desks - when rates were on its rising move to the upside. That was - when Newzealand has opened its doors. But many so-called brokers plug in their screen servers much later. That is the problem then.

Trotzdem - gut dass es von diversen Leuten bereits bemerkt wurde.

Eins drauf mit Mappe. Should mean - well well - ok ok.

if this wedge actually has any meaning, crossing the daily pivot is pretty hot.

I'm not saying if it doesn't go one way it will go another, that's obvious. My point is it will make a move of 150+ pips within that hour.
It might...but it might not too. This pair is so unpredictable at the moment. I've been buying the dips on on the jpy/usd pair for a few days now, and while it's laborious sometimes, it's pretty reliable, and therefore profitable.

Once the eur/usd get's it's shit together I'll look to trade it again......

Curious, do you use a broker that doesn't close? If so, who?- if you don't mind me asking.

I generally don't believe in gaps...meaning I don't think they're anything special. Gaps aren't always filled. I've seen gaps act as support/resistance, and there's no reason to believe that this one will be filled. Just my opinion.

Looks more like a tooth lol. It does seem to be making a handle formation. However there is no round bottom. I don't know if that matters any, but good observation on the handle.

Genau !

Good financial services open a few hour earlier on sundays. In order to give you the best prices of the markets. The other ones do have the possibility to play with the customers positions then.

Real Banks with INTERBANK conections do not have such things.

Please tell me we're not gonna go back to the Bad Ole Gap days...

There used to be a guy here that traded the gaps on his 1m chart, posting and insisting ad nauseum it was a valid market phenomenon and not a data gap with his borker...

He's gone now... but I guess his leaving created a Gap that someone must Fill... OMG! Proves that cockamamie theory after all I s'pose.

Don't let that "gap" let you take your eyes off the prize.
