Gap-trading next Monday open US indizes

I think it could be profitable to speculate on a huge down-gap of US indizes next Monday opening cause of Corona widespread in the states over the weekend…:cowboy_hat_face:

Yes you are right it’s very tough for the market

Fingers are crossed

Trading the indizes is most profitable actually, I did it with DAX30 last week. So I took small short position sp500 before end of Friday session. On the other side it may happen , that people in US appreciate the recovery actions of trump and sp500 opens with up-gap.
we will see

Watch out for massive spreads. This is the way the brokers prevent themselves passively taking on huge risk as traders pile up aggressive entry orders through the weekend. A gap is only truly a gap if it is outside the Friday and Monday spread ranges.

I see, thanks for the hint - it’s more an experiment than a trade, last week I was on the lucky side with dax30,- opened with approx. 500 pip down gap, 52,62 EUR profit on 10 EUR position- I really was delighted when I saw this in the morning after opening MT4…

BINGO! It worked…:champagne:
Not so large as I hoped, but enough to make small profit
