Looks like this pair is continuing down, at least so far this week. I am going to add to my position.

If price can finally break through this support level, it is likely to continue down.

I'm hoping so, as I have two short positions in it.

Hi Lawgirl,

I am new to trading and found your system which might suit me as a part time trader.
On your GBPJPY trade, there was a 1H BO trade to add on your initial weekly 3tap trade, isn't it?

Thanks for sharing your system.

Cheers

Exactly right! And as a continuation of the weekly 3 Tap. Both of these situations provide a reason to add to the position.

I also gained 20 on the EG gap. I didn't set a SL, but did set a TP because I was going to bed. I usually don't set SL on gaps because they fill over 90% of the time. Mine didn't fill until I was driving to work this morning, but atleast it did!

well a 50 pip stop would have barely covered it if you got in exactly at the open, most likely he waited for it to climb a bit higher before shorting.

Thanks in advance

It's been discussed. Basically if it gaps up you sell, if it gaps down you buy. The gap needs to be large enough to cover the spread and give an acceptable return. Not all gaps close, but most do. Sometimes it takes a few hours or a day, but it's usually within the first few hours.

One thing to be aware of, is that sometimes price will move in the direction of the gap before it turns to close the gap. Taking this into cinsideration, one should not blindly enter on the gap, but should monitor price and pick a good entry.

Thank you.

Now for a question of my own. Would this be close enough to consider as a 4H 3 Tap? Not in just working on finding these things.
