It will be interesting to see what it looks like tomorrow morning after the overnight trading session.

Markets that trade 24/7 or 24/5 tend to open at the previous day's close (or near enough). In this case, the futures market opened this week's session 50 points higher than last week's close. When you look at the chart, there is actually a 'gap' between the high price of the previous bar and the low price of the current bar.What does gapped mean from a share market point of view?

I've been stopped out of LYC but still for a nice 78% profit.Terrible day for me. The critical metal deal has fallen on deaf ears. Unfortunately as it should have.
