Any real gaps, anyone?

Not sure what others are seing.

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?
I am watching Kinetic out of Australia they open at 4PM EST

Those are the three trades I took. Did anyone see anything else?

Although you've highlighted 10 potential trades, in essence there are only 3.
A/NZ
X/ yen
E/ X
The yen trades will move in tandem, as will the euro trades. If you are going to trade them, i suggest picking one of each which has the biggest gap.
On my charts only E/$ has a decent gap, and thats half the size of last weeks gap.Most of the time, trading, i think, is a waiting game.
The pickings this week are slim, but good luck!

ps I dont trade gaps with less than 30 pips. It all evens itself out in the end.

Here is a gap on the EURJPY on a Forex.com account. It filled the gap but didn't cover the spread. The spread is currently at 6.

Well, you should always take the spread into account - not all gaps are worth the ride...

I didn't, but am looking at it for a 3 Tap trade. Set-up has occurred. Waiting for possible trigger.

The week has just started Sage, so the weekly RSI has no value at this stage of the week.

The weekly is not reliable yet. I will look to PA instead and if it triggers long, weekly will probably follow.
