Eur/Usd and Aud/Usd seem to be taking their time filling gaps. both stoped short 10 to 15 pips and are ranging around. Oh the suspense..lol.... Good Luck this week to Everyone. Aud/Usd gap is almost filled now within 5 pips.
Aud/Usd gap is filled and PA seems headed down? No I hope with the two lower gaps on the Eur/Usd are filled now hoping PA continues up? LG, I wish I knew it would reverse before filling the gap. Another lesson learned here for sure.

I am in these two gap trades. One hour late for the party, as usual, cause my broker kicks in an hour after everybody else is scarfing the shrimp and stuffed mushrooms. If I'm lucky, I'll get some chips and dip.

SLs are set at 50 pips. Target for GU is 50, EU is 30. Happy New Year!!

No one knows when PA will turn..ever...that's trading. It also takes patience and risk tolerance. It's nice when gaps close quickly, but they certainly don't always do that...PA never accomodates the trader.

I think it is a fluke..it didn't show that way on my chart. Hope I'm wrong, But watch it carefully.

isn't that to tight, i mean SL will always hit with -10 pips.

read somewhere here SL need some breathing room..no?

I think they mean the ratio is backwards. Like if your SL was 50 pips, your TP would be 100 pips.
