I have stopped posting my trade long time ago for various reasons. Anyway, I thought I might throw in an example today to show how I trade gap. In fact, I am not really sure if �I can call this a gap fill strategy, as it is basically a simple support/resistance trade. After all, everything comes back to your level. Define your level, and plan a trade around that. That’s what I am doing.
Here is 5-minute chart of AUDJPY. �There were quite a number of FX pairs with Sunday gaps this week, I picked this pair as it was showing me the cleanest setup at the time I was back to my workstation. I waited for the pair to retest the 5-min level, and put the target at the gap opening , the end result gave me slightly more than 2R.
Nice Trade. It doesn’t look like you really use it, but can I ask what indicator you use there that prints the arrows?
There isn’t any indicator. The arrows are from drawing tools of the platform.
Great trade. Unfortunately not all gaps are filled like this one. To be more cautious profit can be taken at the half of the gap.
