Time to anticipate gaps on opening of market for the week.

Quick Summary: If market gaps up, we sell; if market gaps down we buy. Most gaps fill..some take longer then others; some fill and continue in the direction of the fill. Some traders will only consider gaps of over 15 pips, some want to see more pips than that.

I think trading them is fun. Others think the r:r ratio is not worth it.

Anyone expecting a gap on any particular pair?
There was an analysis done by a trader on the gaps. Can't remember where I saw it though

Hello lawgirl,

Just a quick note to say well done with your simple trading thread which I have been following for a while now. I have been MTF trading for some time and am trying to both simplify my charts and move away from the lower time frames and your ideas are certainly helping me. I hope that I may be able to contribute to the thread in the future.

Keep up the good work

Harry,
Just one other little tweak to do, second to last option in the dialog box...IndicatorInRSIWindow, needs to be set to true.

Welcome Harry. Your story is my story too and probably most of us here. I think you will enjoy this system based on R/S and PA.
The larger file is the same as the indiviual pair. Under "Inputs" --> change "ShowCurrentPairOnly" to "true". All there is to it.
