{quote} Currencies never stop trading 24 hours a day 7 days a week, our brokers are just not open then. Banks and countries trade through the weekends, news rocks the currency world. Those who were long are now 60 - 100 pips better off, I Grabbed 65 pips on that jump because I left a AUD long in from Friday

DING DING...this guy at least knows. I see people on here trading "GAPS" and they have no idea why they are trading it. There are no gaps. Banks don't stop trading...businesses don't stop just because your broker is closed. You "see" a gap on your feed..but when in actuality there are none...they should be bars.

And no...you're not trading a "gap" or waiting for it to "close." All you are doing is fading an extensive move.

I'm not concerned with the gap... all i can see is price making new highs.

Long @ 0.9333
Stop @ 0.9312

If you are long, then I will conclude that you do not expect a 100 pip drop to fill the gap. At least, not immediately.

I am short. But it seems that a gap fill is asking for a lot. I would go for .9370, but we were just there. My stop is at BE so, I am not sure whether to cash out for a little bit or see what happens

maybe we partially fill the gap, but how often does that happen?

Not sure how often it happens with AUD/USD, but it has only happened once on EUR/USD in the last 2 years.

{quote} Why I will give this comment.. You can check with weekly chart.. last week .92 tank.. Cannot close the gap.. This week the gap is larger.. so far not even close 50% gap.. I can conclude the PA will continue climb..
So far the Aussie is doing well

{quote} Actually I was always wondering who gets the money when gaps occur.... I mean, Adollar closes say at 0.92 on a Fri Mon it opens at 0.93. Who got those 100 pips? and/or who says "OK , today, because i have a big d$ck, i command that AUD is 0.93? You know what I mean? Somebody gets those 100 pips without anybody else having even a chance to get them, exit before it happens??? Or is it like Defcon123 is actually saying....if a broker was not cheap (i got IGMARKETS) you at least got a chance to get out at some point during the climb up?
Just read your post. When I had my platform on at 9pm I can see a/u moving up but you are not allowed to trade until come 10pm. When 10 pm arrived my platform froze and I had to restart my computer. I was just watching a 100 pips move upwards and there is nothing I can do about it
