There is one thing that scares me a little bit, I have a long @ 142.99 but the high of 143.62 was rejected.
Let's hope London will change this.

But I'm not scared too much, I'm still 5 pips +

Idk, apparently people wanna buy yen, too. Not sure how Japan does it; I think their debt-to-GDP is 200%
When the facts change I change my mind, what do you do sir

I would not be too happy with all these longs..
I'm fine, dude. I had a great day of open houses (house hunting) and St. Patrick's day celebration. I don't worry about the open (even when it gaps down) because I do this stupid thing called: not over-leveraging.

Geppy where are you? you could have made an easy $5000 on a sloppy Sunday afternoon.
Hey dude, I was out enjoying the day... it was sunny here in SF. I saw we were gapping down for the open and just didn't worry about it. I snapped up a couple longs, but I'm not going to over-leverage the account. About a third of my positions are under water now and I'm slightly red (had a bunch in the money from last week I still have), so I imagine I'll be just chillin and holding them this week.

I never hope when I'm trading. That kills more accounts than anything.

There is no such thing as gaps. FX is open 24 hour a day, 7 days a week. The only gap you see is an artificial one as represented by the opening and closing of your broker.

Hey Geppy!

Hope you enjoyed your weekend man. I also hope you don't mind me sharing the following with everybody in regards to "Gaps." I think most of us understand what you said but I wanted to bring the following to everybody's attention as it may be of interest to some here.

I'm sure most here are aware of "Gaps" and why they occur, but have you taken a look at the statistics and probabilities of the "gaps" being filled the same trading day? By the way, I couldn't find statistics from this study for GBP/JPY but take a look at AUD/JPY as well as GBP/USD.

Gaps in the forex market usually occur during the weekend between previous friday's close price and current monday's open price. The gap itself appears due to the fact that the forex market trades 24 hours, 7 days a week whilst most forex brokers are open for currency trading from Monday 0:00 am ET – Friday 4:00 pm ET. Thus on mondays, the broker needs to update its currency prices which may be different from friday's closing prices.

Type Of Forex Gaps

1) A bullish gap occurs when last friday's close price is lower than current monday's open price.
2) A bearish gap occurs when last friday's close price is higher than current monday's open price.

Case Study on Forex Gaps

The study on gaps in the forex market was conducted between 2002 and 2010, and examined over 25 currency pairs. The following table shows the best gap performers amid the 25 currency pairs.

Currency Pair% Forex Gaps Filled The Same Day
GBP/CAD - 88.60%
EUR/CAD - 82.70%
EUR/AUD - 81.60%
GBP/CHF - 78.75%
USD/CHF - 77.71%
AUD/JPY - 74.35%
GBP/USD - 72.18%
EUR/USD - 66.15%


See, take AUD/JPY for example, from 2002 through 2010, 75 % of the AUD/JPY "gaps" were filled the same trading day! 72% of GBP/USD "gaps" were filled the same trading day.

Just another way to maximize profits should price move against you over the weekend.
