You cant. Based on research When u gain those pips, someone on the other end has to lose them. You need buyer and seller to get price tick (contract). So if the seller wins shorts, the buyer on other side has to lose those pips.

Is Forex a ZERO Sum game?

Yea, I see spinning top on my D1 charts too on all brokers Same plan. Oil down -> GBP weaker, USD stronger so pair should drop. Looks like indeed related to oil movements.

Oh, no worries . But its cool we should always compare and alert each other when a gap is spotted on bigger TF. Right now, for 3 of my brokers this week will be another gap up if we fail to close below .5392 so... lets look for the close ...

Elbert, does your weekly chart GBPUSD look like mine or Bones (see our above posts on this same page)? Am trying to figure out why they look so different... >.<
