Settings



The image above shows various settings for the indicator!



The image above shows how partially filled gaps are marked using the default settings.

Exceeded price areas are shaded darker; however, by selecting the "No Partially Filled Gaps" option, the indicator will treat partially filled gaps differently.



The image above shows alternative behavior! Instead of the gap changing color it narrows in size.



The image above shows the indicator's behavior when selecting to show gap data in labels.

Therefore, when a gap is small and the box text is imperceptible, you can select to show the data in a label.

Additionally, you can select to display a "Gaps Chart".



The image above shows this feature enabled. The gaps chart shows the sequence of price gaps for the asset as candlesticks.
