that's good, gap theory is risky one , i am playing yearly level 1.3365 which was good resistant in the past.

For tracking purposes I don't have a stop loss. I'm just keeping record. I include a spread of 3 pips when determining the gap close.

Gap theory is crap and given that Forex is 24/7 there are basically no gaps in trading. So theres pure luck involved when assessing if a gap will be filled or not. That is if u dont have other indications that the 'gap' will be 'filled'.

Yes, agree. Here is a head up from my friend in europe. Basically, Draghis has all his speeches drawn up for him (this man like copy and paste too?). It will be dovish in short term, concerning short-term market interests, bla-bla-bla, while keeping the hope up for brighter future. How the market react? I really have no idea.
Don't blame the tools. Blame the carpenter.

AOA

DX D

dollar index critical support broken,

Psychology behind gaps: this case gap down which shows lack of trust and interest in dollar, obviously important week, traders might take positions/sides before sept 18th;

imo DXY is going a lot lower on weekly tf according time/cycle of the year atm


EU

as i was expecting a blow off of wave 3, 4hr tf i think this pair is in the making to break 1.3450

I'm not endorsing the gap strategy nor do I personally trade it, but I have been keeping record of it since the start of 2012. I do it simply for record keeping and study.

As far as markets never closing, that is true. What we are referencing by "gap" is the broker gap only; not to be confused with a market close.

Some more statistics:

There were 4 occasions where the gap did not close within one week in 2012. The average loss was 142 pips. However, the annual end result was +190 pips since the gap closed 91% of the time within one week. 7 weeks had no gap and therefore no trade.

So far in 2013 the gap has not closed (within one week) on only one occasion for a loss of 67 pips. However, since gap has closed 93% of the time for a profit, the overall result is currently +296 pips. 6 weeks have had no gap and therefore no trade.
