Overview

A bullish gap is flagged when the current low is above the high from two bars earlier, and a bearish gap when the current high is below the low from two bars earlier. Fill colours and border colours for each direction can be changed, and the border can be hidden or its width adjusted. It uses no volume or higher-timeframe data.

Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints.
