PennySeven: Obviously I exclude week-end gaps, news gaps, Brexit type gaps and the Swiss currency situation gaps.
I am referring to gaps during normal trading. I have seen a few small ones over the last two years. They got filled quite quickly.
Your data, do they include news gaps?
I´m talking normal trading gaps.
I trade only week-end gaps as you can see from the chart I placed on post #7 but there is theory and strategies out there for many types of gaps.
But not for during normal trading in the EuroDollar, for example.
I know about the strategies and theories for gaps when trading shares. They do not apply in EuroDollar trading. Things like run-away-gaps, etc. That is for share trading.
That is my humble opinion. :-)

Obviously it is not the same as shares, but as I stated, there is gap theory for EUR/USD if you care to do the necessary research. There is theory and strategies for many types of gaps on currencies, be it on the week-open, day-open or during normal trading hours. As I already stated, do some research on it and you will find plenty of information on it!
Thank you.
anything similar happened before??
if a gap have to happen over the weekend will it be an upward gap or a down ward gap?
Both types are possible. See my chart in post #7.
Yes, many times, but not necessarily always that big of a gap.
Here are some recent ones that I can remember but there are much more going back in time:
Here is a chart of weekly gaps:
Wow this is a very nice indicator you got, a gap could happen
Both types are possible. See my chart in post #7.
I had first check the chart you had shared, I couldn't get it easily, until I check close and try to interpret what the indicator reflected for the past history then I understood that when the bar keep rising, chances are there could be a gap forming since the EUR is getting stronger and stronger it is likely. Tomorrow if Nonfarm Payrolls come very positive we could have a down gap on Monday, vice versa.
Thanks for your chart
No!
A gap happens during the weekend. Nobody knows if it will be upward or downward. If you study the chart posted at post #7, you will find most of the times the gap fills. In other words whatever the gap, most of the time price reaches for the gap. Not all of the times, notice the big a$$ spike.
