GAPS is an empty gap in the forex trading charts that arises as a result of a large enough price spike that occurs due to initiating a transaction and usually occurs at the beginning of the week when the market opens.
These price increases are of two types, namely GAP UP for rising markets and GAP Down for falling market charts.

Gap usually occurred on morning day after the weekend, Monday market when starting to open not always but often occurred, these gap occurs because data feed on Saturday and Sunday not yet transferred, so when open day market there are surge transaction and make a gap. but robot that used by big trader also can make the price move with spike

actually GAP is not important because it only misleads us. If we take advantage of GAP at the beginning of the week by making a GAP trap then it is the same as gambling.

maybe this is because at the weekend the price was not recorded by the metatrader, so when the week end fluctuates, when the market opens there will be a GAP

I don't know exactly why GAP happened, but what is clear is that if we doubt the market ethics there is GAP, it's best to leave the market first, don't speculate beyond our capabilities

Many use GAP with the opposite entry with the target of closing GAP, and this method is effective several times but they don't know exactly how GAP can happen

maybe that GAP could happen because maybe there was news that was quite shocking in a big country like the United States, so when the market opened there was a GAP that happened.

Usually GAP is used by traders by opening a position with the target to close the gap, the greater the profit gap is getting bigger too

GAP usually occurs because there is a significant movement when the market closes on the weekend

if there is a gap, it can even be used to get a momentary profit, by opening a position with a target according to the gap

GAPs that occur at market openings usually occur because there is big news whose impact can be quite significant

maybe the gap happened because of spectacular news in a superpower, like America whose currency is very influential on the world's breeding

it could be possible because on Saturdays and Sundays the market is not recorded on the chart but is actually still running, so on Saturday and Sunday there are market conditions that move significantly

The gap may occur because there is very important high impact news that occurs on Saturday or Sunday which will have an impact when the market opens

The gap occurred because it was a market condition that the movement was very fluctuating and significant due to the sudden news that occurred on the weekend so it was not displayed on the chart
