Weekend Gap Fader
Overview
Weekend Gap Fader trades the Monday-open gap fill. After a weekend jump, it fades the gap back toward Friday's close across major FX pairs and XAUUSD on M15. It is a low-frequency statistical strategy - at most one trade per week.
The logic: most FX weekend gaps are liquidity dislocations, not information repricing, so they statistically fill. But a large gap from a major weekend event is an information gap and must be excluded - hence dual upper/lower filters.
Strategy Tester Report
Low-frequency strategy (at most one trade per week). Its Monday-open spread filter (30 pts) was tighter than typical Monday-open spreads, blocking entries. Relaxed to 150 pts in source; verified re-run queued pending terminal re-login.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Reports are MT5 Strategy Tester outputs with default parameters and control-point modeling on Exness MT5 data; for transparency and R&D only, not investment advice.
