In Forex trading, the Open price of a new period is usually the same as the close price of the preceding one. If a new period opens at a price significantly different (higher or lower), this gives way to a Gap scenario. This suggests an imbalance in the price action. Price tends to move during the new period to cover the gap created. This move presents consistent buying and selling opportunities; hence potential to make profit.
There are two types of Gap scenarios
- 'Gap Up' - Open price of the new period is significantly higher than close price of the preceding period. The price will tend to move lower, thereby presenting selling opportunities
- 'Gap Down' - Open price of the new period is significantly lower than close price of the preceding period. The price will tend to move higher, thereby presenting buying opportunities
The 5TT Gap Indicator makes it easy for the trader to pick out these opportunities when they happen. The indicator provides the following features:
- User-friendly with only three parameters to set
- Can be used on all currency pairs
- Can be used on all timeframes
- Clear display of the Gap setup
- Display of the size of the Gap, thereby allowing traders to determine profit targets and stop loss levels
