Gap Finder with Box FillSetup and Inputs
The indicator checks the current and previous candles to find gaps, using a color input for filling the gap area on the chart.
Gap Detection:
If the current candle opens higher than the previous close and doesn’t overlap with the previous candle’s range, it marks this as a gap-up.
If the current candle opens lower than the previous close without overlap, it’s marked as a gap-down.
Drawing the Gap:
When a gap-up or gap-down is found, the script draws a box from the previous close to the current candle’s low or high, filling it with the chosen color.
Benefits
Visual Aid: The filled box highlights gaps, making them easy to spot on the chart.
Trade Signals: Gaps can show strong market moves, helping traders spot potential entries or watch for reversals.
Customizable: You can adjust the color to fit your chart style, making the gaps stand out clearly.
This simple tool gives traders a quick view of gaps, which are often key points of interest in technical analysis.
Gaps
Gap Detector [MS]This indicator helps traders identify and visualize price gaps in market data. When price movements create gaps between trading sessions or periods, the script highlights these areas with colored clouds and markers.
Key Features:
Automatically detects price gaps based on a customizable gap percentage threshold
Visualizes gaps using color-coded clouds (green when price moves upward, red for downward price action)
Places small triangle markers at gap locations for easy identification of gaps, and if many happen close together
Shows gray clouds when price is within the last gap
Use it For:
Watching for gap-fills
Gap support/resistance levels
Trading gap breakouts
...and more
How it Works:
The script compares each bar's opening price with the previous bar's closing price. A gap is identified when the opening price is significantly different from the previous close (beyond the user-defined gap percentage). The gap area is then marked with a colored cloud:
Green clouds: Show gaps where price jumped higher
Red clouds: Show gaps where price dropped lower
Gray clouds: Indicate price action within the gap
Settings:
Gap %: Controls the minimum price difference required to identify a gap (default 0.01 or 1%)
This indicator can help traders:
Identify potential support/resistance levels at gap areas
Monitor gap-filling scenarios
Spot significant price movements between trading sessions
The script is designed to work across all timeframes and markets.
ICT Vacuum BlocksThe indicator draws a box between the closing price of one candle and the opening price of the next whenever a gap occurs, helping traders easily spot potential areas of interest where the market has skipped over price levels. The boxes do not extend beyond the gap itself, keeping the chart clean and focused on the price action.
Features:
Detects both upward and downward gaps.
Non-extending boxes that accurately represent the size of each gap.
Customizable colors for up and down gaps to match your chart style.
ICT NWOG/NDOG Gaps [TradingFinder] New Opening Gaps🔵 Introduction
🟣 Understanding ICT Opening Gaps
In the realm of technical analysis, mastering the art of recognizing market behavior and pinpointing key price levels is vital for making sound trading decisions. Among the array of tools available, the concept of opening gaps stands out for its ability to provide crucial insights.
The ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology offers a distinctive approach to understanding the importance of New Day Opening Gaps (NDOG), New Week Opening Gaps (NWOG), and New Monthly Opening Gaps (NMOG).
These gaps, representing the price differences between the close of a previous period and the open of the next, serve as key reference points that can greatly impact price movements.
The ICT trading approach highlights these gaps as potential zones of support and resistance. Prices often respond to these areas, either bouncing off or passing through and then retesting them. Within these gaps, significant levels such as the high and low are particularly important.
Additionally, the Event Horizon PD Array (EHPDA) concept, which is an intermediate level calculated from the average of neighboring NWOGs or NDOGs, adds another layer to this analysis.
This guide delves into ICT's New Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Opening Ranges, showing how these gaps can be effectively utilized in trading. By grasping the nuances of these gaps, traders can better forecast market behavior, identify key support and resistance levels, and refine their trading strategies.
🟣 The Gaps
1. New Week Opening Gap (NWOG) : The NWOG is the price gap between Friday's closing price and Sunday's opening price. This gap is particularly crucial for traders who monitor weekly trends. Depending on the direction of the gap, the NWOG often serves as a pivotal support or resistance level.
2. New Day Opening Gap (NDOG) : The NDOG signifies the price difference between the closing price of the previous day and the opening price of the current day. Much like the NWOG, the NDOG is a key reference point for intraday traders.
Prices typically react to these levels, either reversing or continuing through the gap after a retest. NDOGs are instrumental in identifying short-term support and resistance levels, aiding traders in making decisions based on daily price movements.
3. New Monthly Opening Gap (NMOG) : The NMOG represents the gap between the closing price of the previous month and the opening price of the current month.
This gap is especially valuable for traders focusing on long-term trends and macroeconomic factors. As with NWOGs and NDOGs, the NMOG can act as a significant support or resistance level.
🔵 How to Use
Identifying Support and Resistance : Opening gaps often indicate potential zones where prices might reverse or find support/resistance. For example, if a new day opens below the previous day’s close (creating a NDOG), this gap could act as resistance, prompting traders to consider short positions if the price retests this level without breaking through.
Conversely, if the price opens above the previous day’s close, the gap might serve as support, offering a potential entry point for long trades.
Gap Fill Strategy : A popular strategy associated with opening gaps is the "gap fill" approach, where traders anticipate that the price will eventually return to fill the gap.
For instance, if there’s a significant NDOG at market open, a trader might expect the price to retrace back to the previous day’s close, effectively "filling" the gap. This strategy is particularly effective in markets that exhibit mean-reverting behavior.
Combining Gaps with Other Indicators : Traders often enhance their analysis of NDOG, NWOG, and NMOG by integrating other technical indicators. Aligning gap levels with tools such as Fibonacci retracements, moving averages, or existing support and resistance zones can provide additional confirmation for trade entries and exits.
🔵 Setting
Show and Color : You can control the display or non-display of the range as well as the color of the range.
Max Opening Range Update Method : You can control the number of ranges that are updated. If it is "All", all ranges that are not mitigated will be displayed. If "Custom", the ranges will be updated based on the number you specify.
Max Opening Range Update : The number of ranges to update.
🔵 Conclusion
The ICT New Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Opening Ranges provide traders with a systematic approach to understanding market dynamics and identifying critical support and resistance levels.
By analyzing these gaps, traders can gain deeper insights into potential price movements, spot high-probability trade setups, and strengthen their overall trading strategy. Whether you are focused on short-term day trading or long-term market trends, incorporating NDOG, NWOG, and NMOG analysis into your trading plan can be a powerful addition to your toolkit.

SPX Mapped Gaps [Mxwll]Hello traders 👋
This indicator "SPX Mapped Gaps" detects gaps from the SPX (or the trader's choice of index/asset) and plots them for the asset on your chart!
Features
Selectable comparison symbol
Gaps from the selected symbol (SPX by default) are plotted for the asset on your chart - serving as potential support/resistance levels!
Closest gaps from comparison symbol displayed in upper-right table
Overlapped gaps deleted automatically - less clutter!
How this script works
The "SPX Mapped Gaps" is designed to help traders determine price levels for the asset on their chart where a major index (any asset) gapped up or down.
Of course, a gap that occurs on SPX (4-digit price) is incompatible with the price chart of BTC (5-digit price). To circumvent this, the percentage distance of the gap from SPX is determined, and a gap level is drawn equidistantly (up/down) from the open price of the asset on your chart. With this method, the proportion of the gap is maintained at the price area it occurred for the asset on your chart!
The image above outlines functionality for the indicator!
Key points:
Up gaps are denoted by green boxes
Down gaps are denoted by red boxes
All gaps are listed with their start and end price for the comparison asset (SPX for the example). These labels can be hidden at the user's discretion.
Gaps are expected to act as support/resistance during their lifetime
The image above explains the output of the script, including line style indications!
Solid lines indicate that the leverage used for at your entry price constitutes an active trade. Dotted lines mean the trade has already achieved your profit target for that leverage, or stopped out.
The image above explains the table attached to the indicator!
This table displays the closest gaps to the current asset price. The status (up gap or down gap) from the gap to the current price is also detailed.
Why are gaps on the SPX, or major index, relevant to BTC and other assets?
When a gap on the major indices occurs, it's expected that strong aggregate buying or selling pressure will transpire for BTC and other coins. Due to this, the presence of a gap on a major index might correspond to increased activity on smaller market-cap assets with some degree of positive correlation to the index. Consequently, the price level for the asset at which a gap for the major index occurred may function as support/resistance for future price!
That is all for this - thanks traders!

Description:
The Gap Tracker Indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders to identify, monitor, and capitalize on price gaps in financial markets. It serves two primary functions:
Identifying Gaps: The indicator scans price action to detect instances where the current trading session's opening price significantly differs from the previous session's closing price. These disparities indicate the presence of price gaps.
Tracking Gap Fills: Once a gap is identified, the indicator continues to monitor the price movement. It dynamically adjusts its parameters to track whether and when the price retraces back to fill the gap. As soon as the gap is filled, the indicator generates a signal to notify traders of this occurrence.
Key Features:
Customizable Parameters: Traders can adjust the sensitivity and criteria for what constitutes a significant gap based on their trading preferences and the market conditions.
Visual Alerts: The indicator provides clear visual signals on price charts, highlighting the presence of gaps and indicating when they are filled. This helps traders to easily spot trading opportunities and make informed decisions.
Alert Notifications: In addition to visual cues, traders can opt to receive real-time alerts via email, SMS, or within their trading platform, ensuring they never miss an opportunity or a filled gap.
Historical Analysis: The indicator may also offer historical gap data, allowing traders to conduct backtesting and analyze the performance of trading strategies based on gap patterns.
Benefits:
Gap Trading Opportunities: Traders can use the indicator to identify potential areas of price continuation or reversal, leveraging the phenomenon of gap trading for profit.
Risk Management: By tracking gap fills, traders can manage their risk more effectively, knowing when a gap is likely to act as support or resistance and adjusting their positions accordingly.
Enhanced Decision Making: With real-time gap detection and fill tracking, traders gain valuable insights into market sentiment and price dynamics, empowering them to make timely and informed trading decisions.
Compatibility:
The Gap Tracker Indicator is compatible with popular trading platforms and can be seamlessly integrated into various technical analysis tools and strategies.
Conclusion:
In the fast-paced world of financial markets, identifying and understanding price gaps is crucial for successful trading. The Gap Tracker Indicator provides traders with a reliable tool to spot, track, and capitalize on gap opportunities, enhancing their trading efficiency and profitability.
Candle GapsWhat This Indicator Does
This indicator shows you where the 'Gaps' are in the market ( as defined by this indicator ). The indicator draws a box that extends indefinitely to the right, this is the 'Gap'. This box will be 'Filled In' when price comes back and overlaps the box.
A Gap As Defined By This Indicator
A candle creates a 'Gap' in the area where there is no price action in front of, or behind ( up to 1 candle ) that area.
A 'Up Gap' is created when the close of a candle is above the high of the previous candle.
A 'Down Gap' is created when the close of a candle is below the low of the previous candle.
Both types of Gaps are coloured with the same colour.
Gaps are 'filled in' and disappear when price action crosses over them.
This indicator does not show gaps where there are no candlesticks.
The Intention Of This Indicator
The intention of this indicator is to make it possible to instantly identify Gaps in the market.
Gaps can be used as a confluence for a variety of different strategies.
Inputs
Gap Colour ( This changes the colour of the Gaps )
Draw Gaps From Wicks ( This changes whether the Gap begins to be drawn from the previous candles high/low, or from the candle the Gap occurs on )
Both inputs are for aesthetic preferences.
A maximum of 50 Gaps will be drawn on the chart at one time.
This indicator is not guaranteed to be 100% accurate.
AD's - Indecisive Candles, volume spikes, gapsThis script identifies price pivots, volume spikes (more than twice of 20 SMA vol) & gaps (both up & down)
See inside Candles: Directionality %; Constituent Bars & GapsSee inside candles based on user-input LTF setting: get data on 'Directionality' of your candle; Gaps (total and Sum; UP and DOWN); Number of Bull or Bear constituent candles
//Features:
-DIRECTIONALITY: compare length of the 'zig-zag' random walk of lower time frame constituent candles, to the full height of the current candle. Resulting % I refer to as 'directionality'.
-GAPs: what i refer to as 'gaps' are also known as Volume imbalances: the gap between previous candles close and current candle's open (if there is one).
--Gaps total (up vs down gaps). Number of Up gaps printed above bar in green, down gaps printed below bar in red.
--Gaps Sum (total summed UP gap, total summed down gaps. Sum of Up gaps printed above bar in green, Sum of down gaps printed below bar in red.
-Candles Total: Numer of LTF up vs down candles within current timeframe candle. Number of up candles printed above bar in green, Number of down candles printed below bar in red.
//USAGE:
-Primary purpose in this was the Directionality aspect. Wanted to get a measure of how choppy vs how directional the internals of a candle were. Idea being that a candle with high % directionality (approaching 100) would imply trending conditions; while a candle which was large range and full bodies but had a low % directionality would imply the internals were back-and-forth and => rebalanced, potentially indicating price may not need to retrace back into it and rebalance further. All rather experimental, please treat it as such: have a play around with it.
-Number of gaps, Sums of up and down gaps, ratio of up and down constituent candles also intended to serve a similar purpose as the above.
-Set the input lower timeframe; this must obviously be lower then your current timeframe. You will significant differences in results depending on the ratio your timeframes (chart timeframe vs user-input timeframe).
//User Inputs:
-Lower timeframe input (setting child candle size within current chart parent candle).
-Choose function from the four listed above.
-typical formating options: Bull color/bear color txt for gaps functions.
-display % unit or not.
-display vertical or horizontal text.
-Set min / max directionality thresholds; and color code results.
-Toggle on/off 'hide results outside of threshold' to declutter the chart.
-choose label style.
//NOTES:
-Directionality thresholds can be set manually; Max and Min thresholds can be set to filter out 'non-extreme' readings.
-Note that directionality % can sometimes exceed 100%, in cases where price trends very strongly and gaps up continuously such that sum of constituent candles is less than total range of parent candle.
-Personally i like the idea of seeking bold, large-range, full bodied candles, with a lower than typical directionality %; indicating that a price move is both significant and it's already done it's rebalancing; I would see this as potentially favourable for continuation (obviously depending on context).

Inversion GapsAn inverted fair value gap (FVG) occurs when candles start closing below a bullish FVG or above a bearish FVG and in this case, support FVGs become resistances and vice versa. This is a smart money concept introduced by ICT. While we a number of have indicators for FVGs, we don't have any for inversion FVGs. This indicator is just for that - it shows FVGs only after they're inverted.
The meat of it comes from being able to plot HTF inverted FVGs in LTF. In the above BTC chart, you can see M15 inverted FVGs plotted on M1 chart and you can see price respecting them. Mitigations can also be shown as lines (as you can see in the chart).
You can also setup alerts for formation and mitigation of such inversion FVGs.
NSDT Fair Value GapThis script is our version of the "Fair Value Gap".
A Fair Value Gap is nothing more than a series of 3 candles with a gap between a candle high/low and a candle high/low two candles prior.
For example:
A Gap Up - the Low of a candle is higher than the High of two candles back.
A Gap Down - the High of a candle is lower than the Low of two candles back.
Typically, on a Gap Up, the trader would wait for the price to re-enter the Gap, and take a Long position.
Typically, on a Gap Down, the trader would wait for the price to re-enter the Gap, and take a Short position.
We found that simply trading through the Gaps (fill the gap) produced a better result. So we reversed the procedure and the colors to show our suggested direction.
We have added inputs so the trader can determine the size of the Gaps to be plotted on the chart. A minimum and maximum can be set.
The number of Gaps to be displayed can be adjusted.
There is a option to remove Gaps that had been filled, to help keep a clean chart.

~Extend boxes fully to the right
~Box background color, border color, and opacities
//Limitations:
-works only on timeframes 30mins or lower (works on 1,2,5,10,15,30minutes)
-will not work on non-typical low timeframes (like 4min or 7min) since they are not divisible into 30
Seasonality Overnight Gaps - Tabular Form Use this indicator on Daily Timeframe
This script calculates the overnight gaps above a specific threshold (that can be set through input parameters) and displays the data in a tabular form with Year in the rows and the day of the week in the columns.
Also a summary row is displayed at the bottom for day of the week.
Detailed Gap info is displayed as tooltip for the cell data
Gap - Open should be outside the previous day's Open and Close
Gap % - open/prev. close - 1 if Gap is there
Gap ZonesSharing a simple gap zone identifier, simply detects gap up/down areas and plots them for visual reference. Calculation uses new candle open compared to previous candle close and draws the zone, a mid point is plotted also as far too often it's significance is proven effective.
Works on any timeframe and market though I recommend utilizing timeframes such as weekly or daily for viewing at lower timeframes such as 5, 15 or 30 minutes.
Often price is observed reaching towards zone high/mid/low before rejection/bouncing. These gap zones can give quantitative basis for trade management.
Future features may include alerts based on price crossing up/down gap low, mid and highs. Feel free to message with any other suggestions.
Crypto BTC Correlation Scalper Gaps StrategyThis strategy is based on the gaps theory.
In this case we have the BTC futures from CME, which acts in a way similar to stocks, and we can have gaps present between close/open session, and also sometimes between same candle due to huge movements intra candle.
At the same time I have combined this with a daily moving average, to help out a bit with the trend, since we are looking at small timeframe like 1-15/30min .
On top of that we have a reverse option, where long = short and viceversa, which can be used with against BTC pairs .
Rule are simple:
For long, we have a long gap and the close of the correlated candle is above daily sma
For short, we have a short gap and the close of the correlated candle is below daily sma
For exit:
For exit, we take the highest highest values for short entry TP, meaning we get the different from the HH and rest the current open candle distance, and use that distance as a TP.
At the same time for long entry, we take the lowest low value and rest current close of the candle to that value, and we get the TP.
Can also be applied this logic for SL aswell but from the test I have found out that exiting based on a reverse condition(when tp is not being hit), gives better results/dd overall.
If you have any questions, please let me know !
Intraday Accumulator [close-open]This script plots close-open cumulative from the beginning of the chart. It is made for use on equities with overnight sessions to view the intraday performance vs the candlestick chart.
GAP HunterThis indicator shows the GAPs that are formed according to whether the opening price is above or below the rate specified in the selection box. An alarm can be set on these conditions.
NSDT Gap FinderThis script plots gaps between candles.
It uses the "round_to_mintick" feature in the Pinescript code, so it works on any instrument out to 3 decimal places.
If there is a Gap Up (open of current candle is greater than the close of previous candle) it will plot a green arrow under the current candle and plot a label above the current candle to show the Gap Amount.
If there is a Gap Down (open of current candle is less than the close of previous candle) it will plot a red arrow over the current candle and plot a label below the current candle to show the Gap Amount.
You can turn the label and/or the arrow on and off.
I created this indicator to more easily identify gaps in the market. The probability of a gap being filled is extremely high. Some are right away (intraday candle to candle), some take a while (gap from previous day close to current day open), and some make take a long time (close at end of previous week to open at beginning of current week).
This is published free to use and open source code.
Please see my other similar Gap Indicators.

Mark FVGsMark FVGs is marking FVG (stands for Fair Value Gap, other name is Imbalance or IMB) on your chart so that you can instantly detect them
It supports:
- marking bullish and bearish partly filled or unfilled FVGs of the current timeframe
- marking bullish and bearish already filled FVGs of the current timeframe
- marking bullish and bearish FVGs of the any 4 timeframes on your current timeframe
technically it re-builds them on the last bar or as soon as new realtime bar is updated. it looks with 1k bars back to find the nearest specific number of FGVs
Adjustments:
- changing the maximum number of FVGs to display.
- changing the color of FVG area
- displaying already filled FVG of the current time frame
- changing the mode of displaying area it can either extended or fixed width
- displaying labels of other time frame FVGs
