usually the gap will form a very high jump and form an empty space that must be filled after the gap, therefore usually many traders open reversal positions because they hope to fill the void

GAP is the gap between the close of one candle and the opening of the next candle. GAP usually occurs because there are too many and a flood of Buy or Sell orders. So this GAP reflects the potential strength of the movement that will occur later. Gaps are also very common during news releases.

As an additional important note, before you enter a market that is experiencing a GAP, it's a good idea to wait until the price shows signs of a bounce. In this way, you can avoid the condition of prices moving quickly and at the same time breaking through the GAP level itself.

using any technique if there is a gap it will be in vain because in my opinion it is not a broker's job it is indeed news that makes the price jump so we can understand it and we don't need to open a position first

gaps always occur at market openings usually occur at the opening of daily or even monthly candles because indeed at that time we always have a lot of prices piling up there, so there really is a very significant price spike both up and down

One of the factors that caused the gap to occur at the beginning of the week could be because there was a fairly large incident at the weekend after the market close on Friday, so the market compact took action in one direction when the market opened on Monday. However, it could also be because market participants acted impulsively and caused prices to rise too high or fall too low on Friday. Market participants only realized they were overreacting after a weekend recount, so decided to ?normalize? their trading positions on Monday. As a result, prices that initially increase can lead to a Down Gap; or the price that originally decreased even rose (Up Gap).

Usually the gap occurs at the opening of the Open position when we do daily positions but it also rarely happens according to the currency pair that we use and we can also avoid it all

the occurrence of a gap is something that can make us surprised and surprised by the occurrence of a candlestick that suddenly spikes sharply, therefore we should be wary of gaps when the open usually occurs on Monday

For me the gap can occur because there are very large movement conditions that occur on Saturday and Sunday, and will be recorded on the chart on Monday

when we encounter a moment of gap then what we should do is wait for the meaning when we wait for something that is not yet clear then we must be patient to see where it actually goes after the gap occurs

usually there is a gab to take an empty position at a price because when there is a gap then we will be more unable to open a position because we are still confused which is the right direction to do any position when there is a gap

Usually the gap does occur every Monday the opening of the weekly candle because when we use the gap strategy we usually win more because we open the position following the direction of the gap and it will usually get a lot of profit

gaps can occur because there is indeed a void in the Order so we cannot analyze for sure whether it will reverse direction or continue direction When you are not sure we should when there is a gap you don't need to open a position first

gaps can happen when we open a position at the opening of the market price, of course it happens every day or every week and rarely happens at that price there is really important news so we must be able to take advantage of it but it is as good as possible to make a profit

when the gap will occur make sure we are not doing an open position usually it is always early whether it's the beginning of the next day whether it's the beginning of the next week whether it's the beginning of the next month which is definitely early and there will be a void between the buying and selling price

when opening a market movement, of course there will always be a hidden gap whether it's in what currency pair but what is clear is that more openings use gaps at the time of opening, especially weekly candlesticks
