62% of the 95%? I'm just saying...

That said, I'm getting pricing finally and EURUSD opened up sitting on it's last support for another few hundred pips. Let's see what happens.
Exactly haha. Honestly I have no idea whether euro will go up or down, I just trade what I see.

Speaking of which, has anyone ever read Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns by Bulkowski? I've had the pdf for months but never looked at it until today. One of the few books I've seen with actual statistics, and they seem to be somewhat accurate as far as I've seen, but just wondering if anyone tested or used his data...

Does anyone have the clear precise Gap trade rules, by looking at the live quotes right now i see the eu gapped down of course my broker doesn't open till 5:00 pm. Do I wait to see if it is supply and sell the next resistance on the red 1 hr candle, or do I wait to see if its demand and buy (doing this on the 1 hr candle or should I wait for a 2 or 3 hour candles?)
Know when to hold em, Know when to fold em!

I would really like to trade the gap usually I notice it typically 85% of the time or so gap gets filled within a day of so usually half the gap is filled on sundays after quite some hours. Meaning gaps up then sell, gaps down then buy, however with this eu tankage I dont know if it would fill a gap up ever in this week's session.

Really? I've only been trading fx since March, 2009. Can you say when the Deutchmark stopped trading?
DM was replaced in 99 or 00 I think. I think you could still trade it up to 2001-2

Gaps are made to be filled. Let's see how long it will take to fill this one, if it gaps down.

I think it won't hit the round number, or if it does, any close above will see me long.

I'm not sure that's the proper way to draw a pitchfork there. And if we break the 1.230-35 area it's a few hundred pips to the next support.

Gaps are great in normal market conditions, and very risky in ones like we have now.
If you tried to fill the GPBUSD gap on March 1st 2010, you would go -390pips, and then wait a whole week before getting break even trade. Most people would exit with a loss rather than wait it out.

Long looking to capitalise should market fill gap.

Dear Saxon, dear clambill !

I can tell you exactly when we officially started to trade the EURO as it is quoted nowadays. That was Monday - Jan. 04, 1999 !

The pair USD/DEM was finished to be offered in Forex market via REUTERS and BRIDGE and BLOOMBERG DEALING STATIONS a few weeks later.

Although the Deutsche Mark was still circulating at this stage - via INTERBANK it was switched earlier.

I even remember the range without looking on any charts - it is deep in my mind - was around 1.18 - 1.1915 dancing on early European Session.

But main business was made in EUR/USD abruptly from Monday 04.01.1999


I do remember that day - as if it was yesterday - for many many reasons.

Moreover - we were able to trade the EURO much earlier - but it did not had much significance before that date. It was usually quoted as XEU/USD prior to that date. When we had the EMU standards.


But only with very low turnover before January 1999 - most traded pair of the world before that date was USD/DEM

Hoffe das langt aus zunächst
