shemoalaa85 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Forex gap What is the gap Forex? Forex gap usually refers to a different type than the price of a currency pair at the beginning of the new trading you can know more in the next video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DeXa-Iwq0Q Quote
myregister Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Just look at the gap between your candlesticks and that is what means as forex gap, this gap is usually happened in the first week closing of the market and the next opening of the market in monday. Many traders trying to exploit this issue and there are 2 results they make profit or lose it. Quote
pepy Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Yes, we can see the gap between candlesticks but not always happen, this night i see that USDCAD got one gap after Canada's GDP released, if you have some time you can check it. Gap usually a sign that the price relatively fall down deeper and some people would love to trade during this time. Quote
myregister Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 That is good if someone trade and then around 5 or 10 minutes later there is gap, i think gap also one of the good sign for trader and as you said the price seems in most cases relatively fall deeper or rise higher rather than before when there is a quite big gap, even small gap could bring your elsewhere.

pepy Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 That is from my own observation when gap is happening you should be happy because there was long term trend that the price will continue to that trend even not always, but if something is happening usually it is just normal correction and will following that gap direction once again.

myregister Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 That is true and i feel it I just see a gap happening with my trading. In the last friday i nearly reach SL but thanks for today's gap i can pass entry point and close my position before it is too late. Just $0.5 profit but that is better rather than lose my capital more. Quote
pepy Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Gap will give a strong movement to pair either it is bullish or bearish. Gap also become a clear indication that the price has the higher chance of following the trend, but remember it is not always happen, just usually happened all them, even correction cannot turn back the price especially with large gaps.

omar-profits Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 gaps usually happens in the opening of the market, also it can happens in the time of Important news. I remember in the past I got a gap which has more than 200 pips just in 2 minutes. so you should to take care about gaps specially in the opening. Quote
myregister Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 I think that gap is actually an indication that forex is under bullish pressure and not just simple bullish pressure but this is one of the biggest bullish pressure. As far as i know, forex gap in forex will be such an opening for foreign exchange trader to make decision because in most cases gap in forex is a strong indication and pretty much accurate. Quote
obieze Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 yes there must be a gap on forex trading because if there is not gap that means there will be no loss at all,because it was the gap difference that makes one to loose or earn profits on forex trading so i agrewd with you. Quote

If Friday has a big movement on a pair then there is a chance that on next market opening there will be a gap. But that's not sure fire as well. Quote

I can't say much about how it will come to us but the market is clearly unexpected in this case, forex gap is seductive but never try that since it is actually unexpected and only traders with sharp anlaytical skill which can do that with higher rate of success, i just say gap which happened in my previous trading as LUCK.

In past there were several of my trades were hold overnight and market opened with a positive gap. The profit was surely satisfying because it was more than what I have expected. And I am not sure if there is a analytical mechanism to predict gap. Do you know of any sources? Quote

The same happened here too. It wa a very great moment, 10 pips positive slippage or what some people called as gap. But the gap is not always a good strategy because it is basically hope for the price to slip which is quite hard to determine especially in a risky and wild market such as forex where anything could happen. Some people applied this strategy so far with high ratio of losing but that is i think for ultra risk trader. Quote

I myself don't like slippage because it does goes against the outcome of the trade. Though positive slippage on take profit is good but other types of slippage comes along so none is better. Quote
myregister Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 Market gap could be good or bad to us, when the market has longer good trend then it will make the price rise higher/lower than what we expect. Another slippage actually a bad thing, lose more than what we expect is something we must deal. Forex gap actually hard to predict but the consequences is pretty good/bad to all kind of traders Quote
alextrader79 Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 I know 4 methods of gap trading. Unfortunately, real gaps happen on the market not so often and I can't make great money with them . Though I like gap trading, it's interesting for me Quote
Vaabum Posted May 30, 2022 Posted May 30, 2022 I think that for beginners it really plays a pretty important role now. Quote
