Hi,I am analysing the AUD swap market using candlestick method. However, the daily trading gaps make this almost impossible to do so. The only thing that make sense to me is the weekly and monthly candlestick charts. Anyone out there has any suggestions on this?ThanksAmkey04

Are the trading gaps time-gaps, price-gaps or both?

Does anyone know a good, beginner's technically oriented book on technical analysis?

I bought Murphy's book "Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets" a while back. It's a remake of his original very sucessful "Technical Analysis of the Futures Markets". I think it's the best on the topic, very comprehensive.

Going to be a tough call to analyse the AUD Swap market using candlesticks. The market is effectvely traded as a spread to the bond futures contracts. If you wanted to generate some data or alternatively check your data I would recommend using high/low data for the futures contracts then add the spread to get the swap yields. It won't be 100% accurate but you can get a bit of a feel for how inaccurate by checking the movement in the spreads each day.SWAP FUTURES Contract3yr(Q) 3yr Bond4yr(S) "5yr(S) "7yr(S) 10yr Bond10yr(S) "15yr(S) "
