GAP usually occurs when the market is off and when there is high impact news on holidays.

I also used to pay attention to the existence of this GAP, unfortunately the current market rarely shows the existence of significant GAP, if there is GAP at least around 5-10 pips.

GAP is a price or price void because it is not repaired by the broker on holiday.

GAP is a price vacuum that occurs when the broker is off even though the actual market has never been off.

GAP usually occurs on Mondays, but GAP is sometimes not directly covered by the market, so be careful if trading GAP

the gap occurs due to strong news so that the price is unable to keep up with the movement so there is a gap.

the gap occurs due to the MT4 holiday but the market is not on holiday, here there is a normal gap because the market continues to walk.

GAP is a price record that often occurs when price volatility is very high or often occurs at the beginning of the market opening Monday morning because there is an imbalance between brokerage data and the real market.

GAP is a price gap that is formed because the broker is not recording the price of market movements on holidays and on that day there are news releases or major issues that have an impact on the forex market.

GAP is an abnormality in price movements, usually occurs at the end of the week so we do not know the price movements in the market during holidays whether it is well impacted by news or issues.

GAP is a price jump that often appears when new trading hours open on Monday morning, usually GAP is caused by news released on holidays or when the broker is closed.
