Gap Zones Pro - Price Action Confluence Indicator with Alerts
█ OVERVIEW
Gap Zones Pro identifies and tracks price gaps - crucial areas where institutional interest and market imbalance create high-probability reaction zones. These gaps represent areas of strong initial buying/selling pressure that often act as magnets when price returns.
█ WHY GAPS MATTER IN TRADING
- Gaps reveal institutional footprints and areas of market imbalance
- When price returns to a gap, it often reaffirms the original directional bias
- Failed gap reactions can signal powerful reversals in the opposite direction
- Gaps provide excellent confluence when aligned with your trading narrative
- They act as natural support/resistance zones with clear risk/reward levels
█ KEY FEATURES
- Automatically detects and visualizes all gap zones on your chart
- Extends gaps to the right edge for easy monitoring
- Customizable number of gaps displayed (manage chart clarity)
- Minimum gap size filter to focus on significant gaps only
- Real-time alerts when price enters gap zones
- Color-coded visualization (green for gap ups, red for gap downs)
- Clean, professional appearance with adjustable transparency
█ HOW TO USE
1. Add to chart and adjust maximum gaps displayed based on your timeframe
2. Set minimum gap size % to filter out noise (0.5-1% recommended for stocks)
3. Watch for price approaching gap zones for potential reactions
4. Use gaps as confluence with other technical factors:
- Support/resistance levels
- Fibonacci retracements
- Supply/demand zones
- Trend lines and channels
5. Set alerts to notify you when price enters key gap zones
█ TRADING TIPS
- Gaps with strong contextual stories (earnings, news, breakouts) are most reliable
- Multiple gaps in the same area create stronger zones
- Unfilled gaps above price can act as resistance targets
- Unfilled gaps below price can act as support targets
- Watch for "gap and go" vs "gap fill" scenarios based on market context
█ SETTINGS
- Maximum Number of Gaps: Control how many historical gaps to display
- Minimum Gap Size %: Filter out insignificant gaps
- Colors: Customize gap up and gap down zone colors
- Transparency: Adjust visibility while maintaining chart readability
- Show Borders: Toggle gap zone borders on/off
- Alerts: Automatic notifications when price crosses gap boundaries
█ BEST TIMEFRAMES
Works on all timeframes but most effective on:
- Daily charts for swing trading
- 4H for intraday position trading
- 1H for day trading key levels
- Weekly for long-term investing
Remember: Gaps are most powerful when they align with your overall market thesis and other technical confluences. They should confirm your narrative, not define it.
