Gap Tracker Indicator v5Gap Tracker Indicator - Description
Purpose: The Gap Tracker identifies price gaps on charts and visualizes unfilled gap zones that may act as future support/resistance levels.
What it shows:
Gap zones as colored rectangles:
Red boxes = bearish gaps (price gapped down, leaving unfilled space above)
Green boxes = bullish gaps (price gapped up, leaving unfilled space below)
How gaps form:
A gap occurs when the opening price of one candle is significantly different from the closing price of the previous candle
Common after weekends, holidays, or major news events when markets are closed
Gaps create "empty" price zones with no trading activity
Trading significance:
Many traders believe gaps tend to "fill" eventually (price returns to the gap zone)
Unfilled gaps can act as magnetic levels - price often revisits them
Gap zones may provide support (bullish gaps) or resistance (bearish gaps)
On your chart:
Multiple red boxes show unfilled bearish gaps where price gapped down
Green boxes show unfilled bullish gaps where price gapped up
The indicator tracks these zones until price fills them completely
Right side shows "GAP TRACKER" panel with active gaps: Aktywne (2), Zamknięte (9), Zakres 7d (168)
Key insight: The concentration of unfilled gaps suggests potential magnetic zones where price may return for "gap fill" trades. Traders often use these levels for entries, exits, or stop placement.
GAP-FILL
Gap Absorption StrategyLike the nature, markets don't like the void, and this is something we can take advantage of by trading gaps on some markets.
This technique is well known, so I wanted to write a tiny script based on this strategy to get a bit more comfortable with it.
IMPORTANT: Default parameters wont give you good trades on every markets, you need to modify these parameters to see which proportions correspond to the stock you're trading.
This script triggers signals on predefined variation of a stock price after a gap, and allows its user to configure TP and SL prices corresponding to a specific percentage of this gap movement.
Note: We can observe that opening gaps are often the most interesting.
Options
Trigger: the price variation you want to trigger on (in % of the price)
Stop Loss : in % of the gap
Take profit : in % of the gap
A small table is displayed in the top right corner of the chart to give you TP/SL/Signal prices for each opportunity
SL (red line) and TP (green line) are also displayed on the chart when a signal is triggered
Information concerning the current opportunity is given at the bottom of the chart
Note: This script is based on the Gap-Size-Indicator that I published a few weeks ago.
