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.

Precise Gap FinderPrecise Gap Finder
This indicator identifies Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) in price action and it is perfect for traders looking to exploit price imbalances and capitalize on trading opportunities.
How It Works:
The Precise Gap Finder detects Fair Value Gaps by analyzing three consecutive candles. A gap is identified when the middle candle’s price range (open to close) is not overlapped by the high and low prices of the surrounding candles. This indicates a price imbalance, which can be a strong signal for potential market moves.
How to Use for Trading:
Identify Entry Points: Use the highlighted Fair Value Gaps to spot potential entry points. An upward FVG can indicate a potential buying opportunity, while a downward FVG can signal a potential selling opportunity.
Confirm Trends: Combine the FVG signals with other technical indicators to confirm trends and enhance the accuracy of your trades.
Risk Management: Use FVGs to identify potential stop-loss and take-profit levels. Gaps can serve as natural support and resistance levels.
Backtesting: Analyze historical data to understand how FVGs have impacted price movements in the past, helping you refine your trading strategy
Gap Finder (Arpan)This indicator highlights gaps on the chart where the price between two bars changes without any trades happening between them. It'll highlight gaps created during "Gap Up" or "Gap Down". This indicator has been developed to highlight mainly smaller gaps created on lower time frames though it displays gaps on any time frame. This script also has the option to disable "Opening Gaps" so that we can easily see only smaller gaps on the charts. Gaps are highlighted with colored boxes. Users can change length, border color and background color of those boxes. Set "Opacity" to zero in settings if you don't want to see borders or background colors. Users are welcomed to share their suggestions or bugs in the script

Mind the GAP! (Automatic Intraday GAP Overnight) | by Octopu$🤏 Mind the GAP! (Automatic Intraday GAP Overnight) | by Octopu$
Gaps are areas on a chart where the price of a stock moves sharply up or down, with little or no trading in between.
When it happens overnight (not considering Extended Hours), it is just considered as Price Level, for possible revisit.
A Gap is defined when the Open current Candle is Higher or Lower than the Close of the Last Candle:
When the Open of the current Candle is Higher than the Close of the Last Candle it is considered a Gap UP;
When the Open of the current Candle is Lower than the Close of the Last Candle it is considered a Gap DOWN;
Something interesting about Gap is that:
1. The Price Action can travel fast between these levels (Volatility);
2. One (or both) of these levels (Hi/Lo) can act as Support (or Breakout);
3. One (or both) of these levels (Hi/Lo) can act as Resistance (or Breakout).
This Indicator includes these Gaps added Automatically to your Chart.
It is also built-in with a Shadow between the lines for easy visualization.
Colors are also customizable and the Lines are also editable according t your preferences.
Any Time Frame. Any Ticker.

Gap FinderThe Gap Finder Indicator will allow you to quickly identify gaps on the chart. Gaps in this indicator are defined as the "black space" between candles with the space being as small as $0.01. A gap up is one where the previous candle's high is lower than the current candle's low. A gap down is one where the previous candle's low is higher than the current candle's high.
Features:
Highlight Gap Area will show the price levels for the last found gap.
Show Last Only - will show only the last gap to help declutter the chart.
Basic guidelines for Gap trading:
Wait 3-5 Periods to allow the momentum to settle
Take trade on reversal candle with stop above recent high
Exit for profit when the gap fills.
This indicator will work for all timeframes using the definitions above so good for day traders, swing traders and any other style of trader using gaps in their strategy.
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.

Gap Stats v2This helpful analysis tool displays a table of days a stock has gapped, how much it gapped by and what percentage of the gap was covered.
It is meant to be used on the daily timeframe and can help you distinguish if gaps are going to be filled or not. I like to use it mainly on medium + cap stocks
that have gapped overnight or pre-market and see what the tendency is with how it behaves after a major gap.

TC Gaps IndicatorTrade Central Gaps indicator makes it super easy to visualise gaps in your charts in any timeframe. You can also configure the width of gaps in percentage (default is 0.5%).
Gaps % Size DistributionThis tool is to visualize the distribution of gap % sizes, i.e. those things that I marked on the main chart. The tool uses the entire history of an instrument.
The detalization depends on the Binning Step parameter. The lower chart timeframe the lower that step should be.
Good luck.

GapAnalysisI am a new Trading View user. I am trying to gain some reputation so that I can start contributing more to the community and start learning more. Therefore I have written this very simple pine script that simply adds a label to the first bar of the day if there is a gap between 2% and 8% or a gap between -2* and -8%.
Questions:
1) Lots of missing candlesticks e.g. at 16:30 and 08:00 meaning the candlestick may not of truely gapped up or down. Why are there missing bars? Is it because I have the free version? Are there any missing candlesticks on the paid for version?
2) Does the Gap filter always look at the first bar of the day and compare it to the last bar the previous day? (assuming you select 1d above the filters).
3) How does the Gap filter work if you select 1w above the filters?
4) The filter columns save for me, however the filter values do not. For example, if I select the Gap filter and select the values 'between 2% and 6%', then the column is saved but the values are not. Is this correct?

Gap Trader
Plot the most recent 20 gaps based on custom session info.
The session can be customized with a start time and an end time.
The previous open, high, low, close are only from the price during the session specified.
A gap line will stop printing the moment the gap is filled.
For CME futures, the session must be offset by one hour for Central time. I use the official cash close of 16:15 EST (yes, not 16:00) as this is the TRUE close when options go offline. Every day CME futures take a break between 16:15 - 16:30 EST for settlement, and then again from 17:00 - 18:00 EST.
To offset CME futures you must subtract an hour, the official NYSE hours for futures: 0830-1515, this translates to 9:30 AM EST - 4:15 PM EST.

Gap-O-MaticGap-O-Matic checks whether there is a gap in a user-defined security or symbol and gives you alerts, targets for the gap and tracks the gap until it has been filled. In addition, you can disable or show plots, and change the gap threshhold to pick how big of gaps you want Gap-O-Matic to alert you to and which it should ignore.
A good use case, for example, is to use Gap-O-Matic to monitor a CME/CBOE such as "BTC1!" while trading a bitmex chart. You wont need to check or chart out gap areas. Gap-O-Matic will automatically draw in the gaps on your chart for you.
