gap trade

A gap trade example 18 June 2012 : $AUDJPY

by Gav 3 Comments

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.

$AUDJPY M5
