This handy little screener allows you to easily detect “gaps“.

Very useful especially on the stocks market, so you can scan a number of markets very quickly.

You are free to do what you want, depending on your strategy approach : continuation gap , attempt of gap filling, etc.  

Here is the code of the screener, to detect them .

Remember to select the desired market (eg “Euronext” ) and timeframe ( for example, ” Daily “).

REM gaps

c1= low - high[1] > 0.0001

c2= low[1] - high > 0.0001

c3 = volume > 100000

gap = (c1 or c2) and c3

screener[gap]

Here is the code for the indicator :

gap = 0

c1 = low - high[1] > 0.0001

IF c1 THEN

gap = 1

ENDIF

c2 = low[1] - high > 0.0001

IF c2 THEN

gap = -1

ENDIF

return gap as "GAP"

You can set the green or red color for the bullish or bearish gap (as shown on the picture)
