GapAnalysisI am a new Trading View user. I am trying to gain some reputation so that I can start contributing more to the community and start learning more. Therefore I have written this very simple pine script that simply adds a label to the first bar of the day if there is a gap between 2% and 8% or a gap between -2* and -8%.
Questions:
1) Lots of missing candlesticks e.g. at 16:30 and 08:00 meaning the candlestick may not of truely gapped up or down. Why are there missing bars? Is it because I have the free version? Are there any missing candlesticks on the paid for version?
2) Does the Gap filter always look at the first bar of the day and compare it to the last bar the previous day? (assuming you select 1d above the filters).
3) How does the Gap filter work if you select 1w above the filters?
4) The filter columns save for me, however the filter values do not. For example, if I select the Gap filter and select the values 'between 2% and 6%', then the column is saved but the values are not. Is this correct?

Gap driven intraday trade (better in 15 Min chart)// Based on yesterday's High, Low, today's open, and Bollinger Band (20) in current minute chart,
// Defined intraday Trading opportunity: Stop, Entry, T0, Target (S.E.T.T)
// Back test in 60, 30, 15, 5 Min charts with SPY, QQQ, XOP, AAPL, TSLA, NVDA, UAL
// In 60 and 30 min chart, the stop and target are too big. 5 min is too small.
// 15 min Chart is the best time frame for this strategy;
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// There will be Four lines in this study:
// 1. Entry Line,
// 1.1 Green Color line to Buy, If today's open price above Yesterday's High, and current price below BB upper line.
// 1.2 Red Color line to Short, if today's open price below Yesterday's Low, and current above BB Lower line.
//
// 2. Black line to show initial stop, one ATR in current min chart;
//
// 3. Blue Line (T0) to show where trader can move stop to make even, one ATR in current min chart;
//
// 4. Orange Line to show initial target, Three ATR in current min chart;
//
// Trading opportunity:
// If Entry line is green color, Set stop buy order at today's Open;
// Whenever price is below the green line, Prepare to buy;
//
// If Entry line is Red color, Set Stop short at today's Open;
// Whenever price is above the red line, Prepare to short;
//
// Initial Stop: One ATR in min chart;
// Initial T0: One ATR in min chart;
// Initial Target: Three ATR in min chart;
// Initial RRR: Reward Risk Ratio = 3:1;
//
// Maintain: Once the position moves to T0, Move stop to "Make even + Lunch (such as, Entry + $0.10)";
// Allow to move target bigger, such as, next demand/supply zone;
// When near target or demand/supply zone or near Market close, move stop tightly;
//
// Close position: Limit order filled, or near Market Close, or trendline break;
//
// Key Step: Move stop to "Make even" after T0, Do not turn winner to loser;
// Willing to "in and out" many times in one day, and trade the same direction, same price again and again.
//
// Basic trading platform requests:
// To use this strategy, user needs to:
// 1. Scan Stocks Before market open:
// Prepare a watch list for top 10 ETF and Top 90 stocks which are most actively traded.
// Stock might be limited by price range, Beta, optionable, ...
// Before market open, Run a scan for these stocks, find which has GAP and inside BB;
// create watch list for that day.
//
// 2. Attach OSO and OCO orders:
// User needs to Send Entry, Stop (loss), and limit (target) orders at one time;
// Order Send order ( OSO ): Entry order sends Stop order and limit order;
// Order Cancel order ( OCO ): Stop order and limit order, when one is filled, it will cancel the other instantly;

NSDT Daily Gap RangeSimple script that plots the range between the previous day close and the current day open. This makes it easier to reference the gap up or gap down zone throughout the day.
Gap Finder v1.0 by Nimit ChomnawangThis indicator shows locations of price gaps (or candle stick discontinuities). It prints out the labels "Gap" under the price bars where gaps occur. Asterisk " * " is used to pin point the bars with gaps.
GAP DETECTORGAP DETECTOR is an indicator displaying price gaps that have never been completely filled (only gaps >= 5 pips are considered).
Each gap is defined by two lines (the lower and upper bound of the gap), and a label giving information on its price range
#Parameters:
length: the number of candles being considered in the indicator (max is 3000).
width: the width of the gap lines.
Gap Automatic Retrocess LevelsThis Script detects Bearish / Bullish GAP at market opening 09:30 am NY and automatically traces backward levels, of which 2 are configurable at your discretion.
Piercing Line Pattern Trading Setupthis study is the first one of a series of scripts based on the candlesticks pattern which will be published over time. There are several such scripts out there that can be found on TradingView but they seem to be inaccurate with a lot of noises and messy hard to understand code. In this script, I've tried to have a clean and easy to get
of the pattern itself and the method for detecting it with enough parameters to filter out the noises.
Piercing Pattern
A piercing pattern is a technical trading signal that is formed by a closing down day with a good-sized trading range, followed by a trading gap lower the following day with a bullish candlestick that covers at least half of the upward length of the previous day's bearish candlestick body, finishing with a close higher for the day. A piercing pattern often signals the end of a small to moderate downward trend. A piercing pattern can serve as a potential indicator for a bullish reversal. This pattern is formed by two consecutive candlestick marks. The first candlestick is bearish signifying a down day and the second is bullish signifying an up day. When a trader is watching for a bullish reversal any red candlestick followed by a green candlestick could be an alert. There are a few things that set a piercing pattern apart from a general red candlestick green candlestick pattern. In a piercing pattern, a green candlestick follows a red one with a significant gap in the red candlestick close and green candlestick open. On the second-day green candlestick, the candlestick’s body must also lengthen to cover at least half of the previous day’s red candlestick . Generally, the gap down and substantial increase to the closing price are good signs for a reversal. In a piercing pattern, the second-day green candlestick will close at or above the midpoint of the previous day’s red candlestick.
please provide me with your valuable comments,
thanks for your attention,
WhiplashClimax setup looking for a reversal the next day after a gap, this works best if the signal is triggered after a prolonged move in one direction. Enter the position at the close of the day when you get a signal and exit for a loss the next day if not profitable, otherwise, trail a stop to lock profits.
CME Gap Finder - BitcoinOnly for Bitcoin!
This indicator locates weekly gaps created by the CME Futures market for Bitcoin.
As you can see, Bitcoin tends to close the weekly gaps created in the futures market so I thought this could be a very useful tool.
Instead of having to look between multiple charts, this simply overlays the past weeks open and close should a gap appear.
I hope you find this indicator useful!
Cheers!

Strength Candles With GapCode written by Krishna Khanna on 20/11/2017 includes the following components for NimblrTA
1) Logic for detection of strength candles, only displayed candles are of strength (BH>50%CH)
2) Wicks are not considered
3) Any Gaps are indicated with a arrow, can detect gapup and gapdown
This indicator is apt for small screen devices
Data Gap DetectionThis simple script checks for data gaps in an intra-day TradingView chart. I have found that BitMEX 1-minute data is coming in rather holey lately, so I wrote this just to see how prevalent the problem is. It should work on any intra-day timeframe, not just 1-minute.
V1: initial release.
Gap finder (gold minds)This tool highlights where gaps happens and outlines in the chart where the gap zones are. If there is a gap up there is a green line, a gap down it is red. The gap zone is highlighted in blue. You can choose the size of your gap with the input menu to the desired size. Feel free to ask comment below. Made for the Gold Minds group
Bollinger Band Open Gap Alert V1This is the bare bones of what I'm trying to achieve through pine script. The purpose of the script is to:
1. On a 15m chart, calculate and plot upper & lower Bollinger bands and simple moving average of 20 periods. (DONE)
2. On a new day, when the first 15m candle of a session forms, I want to check if a) the low of the new candle is outside the upper Bollinger band (also known as an open gap up) or b) if the high of the candle is the outside the lower Bollinger band (also known as open gap down). In other words, I want to know if the Bollinger Bands are not touching the new candle's wicks/shadows. (DONE)
3. Alert me if the above happens. (DONE)
4. Run the indicator through an entire watch list. I'm not sure if that's possible, yet. (HELP)
For the above job, this is what I could come up with. I need guidance for the last step . And any suggestions for corrections or improvements would be greatly appreciated!
Gap Gain Test V1.0 by @overratedtraderOddball indicators for entertainment purposes only. This is best used on daily chart.
Look at the 20 ALMA to gauge likelihood of stock following its up or down gap.
- if above the 20 ALMA , follow the gap direction
- if below the 20 ALMA , take counter trend trade
If stock gaps up AND closes higher than it opens, that gain % (close/open) is colored green and if stock gaps down and closes lower than it opens, that gain % (close/open) is colored green
Conversely if the stock gaps up BUT closes lower than it opens, red and if a stop gaps down but closes higher than it opens, red.
Enjoy and follow me on twitter @overratedtrader for more nonsensical and out-of-the-box ideas.
DAX GAPSIf you are interested in trading gaps in DAX, then DOW plotted in DAX's trading hours, will help you know whether the smoothed candle was a gap or not. Use a different script to plot yesterday's closing price. This will help you see the target for the gap close. Let me know if you find it helpful or not!
Gap LineGAP LINE:
Plots the cumulative line of gaps to see extremes in psychology.
Plenty of Gap-UP's where the Open is higher than the previous bar's close get the market excited.
Plenty of Gap-DOWN's where the Open is lower than the previous bar's close get the market scared and depressed.
Look for the Gap Line to peak prior to an important peak in the market and vice versa. Look for a low in the Gap Line prior to an important low in the market.
Simple, but effective.
