Indicator to show unclosed gaps

  Hi, so far I have written a little indicator to show Gaps. But I want already closed gaps not to be shown, only the gaps that are still open.

  Though I find it a bit complicated, anyone any algorithm idea? Thanks in advance, Chris

  Hi Christine.

  There are some Gap screener code in the Screener library that could be useful.

  Perhaps you could share your indicator code- it would be more useful if any suggestion should be made.

  Cheers Kasper

  Thanks for the feedback 😉

  Indicator to find open gaps:

  dx = 0.0001gap = 0
  IF Low > High[1] +dx Then
  gap = 1
  IF High <Low[1]+dx then
  gap = -1
  return gap AS “opengaps”

   

  I searched the screener library but I only found screeners that search open gaps, but no tests were made to see if the gap was closed.

  What is the condition for a closed upgap? UPgab between candle A und B. Check if a future candle has a low <high[A]?

  Yes, this could be a solution, but if a new upgap appears, the information about the old one will be erased and stored with this new gap. Is this a problem?
