Discussing the article: "Analyzing Price Time Gaps in MQL5 (Part I): Building a Basic Indicator"

 

Check out the new article: Analyzing Price Time Gaps in MQL5 (Part I): Building a Basic Indicator.

Time gap analysis helps traders identify potential market reversal points. The article discusses what a time gap is, how to interpret it, and how it can be used to detect large volume influxes into the market.

When a large institutional player decides to enter a position, it faces a fundamental liquidity problem. To achieve the required volume without significantly impacting the price, algorithmic execution is used, with large orders distributed over time. Hidden liquidity is also used through iceberg orders and dark pools, and the actions of multiple funds are often coordinated to synchronize entries.

The result of such activity is a situation where the price very quickly passes through a certain zone, completely "exhausting" all available liquidity. After that, the zone remains practically "empty" for a long time, since the institutional algorithms have already completed their task and switched to other price levels.
