We always look for gaps on market opening for the week. I don't attempt to really anticipate them...just to look for them if they happen. They are usually "easy money". Basically, if PA gaps up, we sell. If PA gaps down, we buy...that simple.

It might be a good idea to read or re-read last week's discussion on gap trading, if you are unsure, new to gap trading, or "just because"..page 176, starting with mary4x, post #2629.

Thanks to everyone who is suggesting indicators and you guys can, of course, place whatever indicators you wish on your charts. But I, and I hope most on this thread, am going to remain "Almost Naked".
Hear, hear!

Looks like we're having nice gaps this morning. I'm seeing AU, AJ, GJ with the biggest gaps (around 20 pips)

I'm with Axis ODL. I can trade the market already, but with 50+ pips spreads, so nothing you want to do
However I can see the gaps already this way as the first candle of the week has already been displayed for me...

I just wanted to do that, but now - at the top of the hour - those gaps have now disappeared with the 2nd candle of the new week on my charts...

Interesting, FF says the market is active, but my charts are still dead. I guess I'll have to wait til 6:00 EST. I'm also watching for third tap on USDJPY as well as gap trade. I use Alpari US, anybody else use them? If so, are your charts still asleep too?
