I'm guessing there is going to be an instant drop in the Euro due to the referendum?
How does it work with brokers and placing orders at the very start. Is it possible to place orders before the market opens and the broker places the order as soon as they can, is that leaving your fate to how fast the broker can execute the trade? What are peoples opinions on this?
Is it worth scalping the first few minutes?
Thanks if anyone can help

The market doesn't open and go down. It just opens down. Assuming you're right and the Euro does go down (don't forget what happened on Tuesday, was it? when a resolution looked likely and the Euro tanked), and everyone knows this, who's going to be your counterpart in the sell? Even if you find a broker that allows off-market placing, it's not going to be much use if the broker can't find someone to match your trade to.

Greek only represents the 2% of Euro GDP, so the real thing is that only the rumors are the one that will rock the crosses, not the real value of the euro so it will turn to the 1.1 range, i will wait for the low volumes to make a decision just after the big banks take their gains from the little ones

Danneskjold has given the best answer. When there is a gap in the market, it is because there is no counterpart at those levels. Basically nobody wants to buy from the sellers, because maybe the price is to high or sell to the buyers, because maybe the price is too low for them, meaning there is no one to match your order at those levels and the price gaps up or down. Your broker will execute your order as soon as there is a counterpart.
