Hope nobody was holding shorts over the weekend, or in my case had pending longs between 140-141 that triggered off at 142 lol

*face palm*
Sure, if the prospect of France electing a president determined to take France out of the EU is surprising or news to you then you probably shouldnt be trading (save yourself some money).

No UK
No France
=
Probably no EU

The gap up is due to Le Pen most likely going to lose the 2nd round to an EU friendly candidate.

Some days are diamonds... I was lucky to be holding longs at 140.23 for once it worked out for me and not blewout my account. I hate the fact you have no control over gaps it's not fair. The last time it opened down 300 pips and blew my account out. Only caught 100 pips. Gaps are part of the scam for the house

I'll pick up the crumbs don't need the whole pie

Respect to you for your transparency despite the loss. Im on the sidelines for the time being to see if the gap will close.
