Data Gap Pointer — Indicator by Culture

candlestick data gap

Updating the v3 script made by u/Lemrin + some mods

What this does:

Paints a blue "down arrow" pointer at an intraday bar that has occurred with a skip (e.g. a 1min bar that occurs a few minutes after the previous bar)
Checks for whether the market is open, and only paints arrows if inside open hours (because Extended Hours have lots of bar gaps)

Release Notes:

Added descriptive elements to the chart

Release Notes:

Minor Update:

Change the shape from down arrow to down triangle for better visibility when painting thinner candles
Cleaned up the sample chart for library clarity purposes

Release Notes:

Added a NaN fixer and reduced the arrow size

Release Notes:

Updated chart

Release Notes:

re-added triangle editable size
