What would one look for as an entry signal for the long 3 tap trade?
Movement of PA up and more confirmation on with the RSIs. Remember that a set up and a trigger are two different things/events.

I'm seeing weakness all around. This pair has been in a tight range for hours. May finally break to the upside as it looks now.

I have a couple of questions if you have the time to answer them. 1st could you post a chart of this trade with the TP, entry, and the reason you entered. 2nd, I see you use FXDD and when I bring their platform up I don't see CHF JPY as an option. I'm assuming you get the chart from another source

Edit: I just saw the chart later in the thread and I see you indicator below regarding direction of W, D, 4h. I only got to page 70 in the thread and I don't believe I saw it.

Hit my TP at 5374. Up 45 pips on both pairs.

Sorry, I can't post them..they have come and gone. But you can go back and study them yourself. You should be looking at the difference between the Friday close and the Sunday open. For me with FXDD that is around 2:00 p.m PST.

Basic gap trading is this: if there is a gap up of more than 25 pips (25 is arbitrary) then enter a short trade. If there is a gap down of more than 25 pips, then enter a long trade.

It is counter intuitive and no one seems to know exactly why some platforms show them. I don't care why they happen, they are generally profitable, as most gaps will close up, if not completely, at least partially.

I think you're about 100 pips off my friend. Anyway, looks good. Dont see a reason why it wouldnt go up to 133.40 but thats me.

I'm looking to buy it closer to 131.90

Hi Everyone,

IMHO, if USDJPY can break resistance at 82.40-50, we'll have a good setup of H1 C4 BO + ZC.

Love to hear your opinions about this
Shorted it under yesterday's low @ 82.14. Let's see how it goes.
A good trade is when I Break Even. A great trade is when I Take Profit.

IMHO 82.40-50 resistance held, so a CBO short here is very logical...
Good luck!
