DAX Daily Gap detector

  Traders who want to easily spot daily gaps (using intraday TF’s), often tweak trading times altering default settings and this may lead to unexpected issues.

  This little indicator simply simulates a gap by displaying, between 22:00 and 08:00 hours, transparent candles and drawing segments from the closing hour (CLOSE price) to the next opening hour (OPEN price).

  I hope it may be of some help.

  Looks to be a similar idea to this one that I wrote a while back:

  Session Candles Only

  Maybe I should update it to also give the option of drawing horizontal segments.
