Source Code
The code stays on GitHub. The author has not published this script under an open licence, so ForexR does not show its code. Copy script reads the file straight from GitHub into your clipboard, so you can still try it on your own chart. Ask the author before reusing the code anywhere else.
Overview
After a user-defined opening window in minutes, it marks an up signal when an up gap holds and the close crosses above the swing high, and a down signal when a down gap holds and the close crosses below the swing low. Settings change the minimum gap size, window length, line display, and signal visibility. Two alerts fire only after bar close. It is intended for intraday charts.
- Opening gap versus prior daily close
- Gap-hold filter through the session
- Opening-swing high and low breakout
- Optional prior close and swing lines
- Two bar-close confirmed alerts

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