Nickel trades only during its futures exchange's session, for part of the day on weekdays, so its price can open with a gap from where it closed.

Contract sizes for Nickel differ from broker to broker. Your broker's contract specification shows how much one lot is and what a $1.00 move is worth per lot, so check it before you size a trade.
