Gap
SP500 Session Gap Fade StrategySummary in one paragraph
SPX Session Gap Fade is an intraday gap fade strategy for index futures, designed around regular cash sessions on five minute charts. It helps you participate only when there is a full overnight or pre session gap and a valid intraday session window, instead of trading every open. The original part is the gap distance engine which anchors both stop and optional target to the previous session reference close at a configurable flat time, so every trade’s risk scales with the actual gap size rather than a fixed tick stop.
Scope and intent
• Markets. Primarily index futures such as ES, NQ, YM, and liquid index CFDs that exhibit overnight gaps and regular cash hours.
• Timeframes. Intraday timeframes from one minute to fifteen minutes. Default usage is five minute bars.
• Default demo used in the publication. Symbol CME:ES1! on a five minute chart.
• Purpose. Provide a simple, transparent way to trade opening gaps with a session anchored risk model and forced flat exit so you are not holding into the last part of the session.
• Limits. This is a strategy. Orders are simulated on standard candles only.
Originality and usefulness
• Unique concept or fusion. The core novelty is the combination of a strict “full gap” entry condition with a session anchored reference close and a gap distance based TP and SL engine. The stop and optional target are symmetric multiples of the actual gap distance from the previous session’s flat close, rather than fixed ticks.
• Failure mode it addresses. Fixed sized stops do not scale when gaps are unusually small or unusually large, which can either under risk or over risk the account. The session flat logic also reduces the chance of holding residual positions into late session liquidity and news.
• Testability. All key pieces are explicit in the Inputs: session window, minutes before session end, whether to use gap exits, whether TP or SL are active, and whether to allow candle based closes and forced flat. You can toggle each component and see how it changes entries and exits.
• Portable yardstick. The main unit is the absolute price gap between the entry bar open and the previous session reference close. tp_mult and sl_mult are multiples of that gap, which makes the risk model portable across contracts and volatility regimes.
Method overview in plain language
The strategy first defines a trading session using exchange time, for example 08:30 to 15:30 for ES day hours. It also defines a “flat” time a fixed number of minutes before session end. At the flat bar, any open position is closed and the bar’s close price is stored as the reference close for the next session. Inside the session, the strategy looks for a full gap bar relative to the prior bar: a gap down where today’s high is below yesterday’s low, or a gap up where today’s low is above yesterday’s high. A full gap down generates a long entry; a full gap up generates a short entry. If the gap risk engine is enabled and a valid reference close exists, the strategy measures the distance between the entry bar open and that reference close. It then sets a stop and optional target as configurable multiples of that gap distance and manages them with strategy.exit. Additional exits can be triggered by a candle color flip or by the forced flat time.
Base measures
• Range basis. The main unit is the absolute difference between the current entry bar open and the stored reference close from the previous session flat bar. That value is used as a “gap unit” and scaled by tp_mult and sl_mult to build the target and stop.
Components
• Component one: Gap Direction. Detects full gap up or full gap down by comparing the current high and low to the previous bar’s high and low. Gap down signals a long fade, gap up signals a short fade. There is no smoothing; it is a strict structural condition.
• Component two: Session Window. Only allows entries when the current time is within the configured session window. It also defines a flat time before the session end where positions are forced flat and the reference close is updated.
• Component three: Gap Distance Risk Engine. Computes the absolute distance between the entry open and the stored reference close. The stop and optional target are placed as entry ± gap_distance × multiplier so that risk scales with gap size.
• Optional component: Candle Exit. If enabled, a bullish bar closes short positions and a bearish bar closes long positions, which can shorten holding time when price reverses quickly inside the session.
• Session windows. Session logic uses the exchange time of the chart symbol. When changing symbols or venues, verify that the session time string still matches the new instrument’s cash hours.
Fusion rule
All gates are hard conditions rather than weighted scores. A trade can only open if the session window is active and the full gap condition is true. The gap distance engine only activates if a valid reference close exists and use_gap_risk is on. TP and SL are controlled by separate booleans so you can use SL only, TP only, or both. Long and short are symmetric by construction: long trades fade full gap downs, short trades fade full gap ups with mirrored TP and SL logic.
Signal rule
• Long entry. Inside the active session, when the current bar shows a full gap down relative to the previous bar (current high below prior low), the strategy opens a long position. If the gap risk engine is active, it places a gap based stop below the entry and an optional target above it.
• Short entry. Inside the active session, when the current bar shows a full gap up relative to the previous bar (current low above prior high), the strategy opens a short position. If the gap risk engine is active, it places a gap based stop above the entry and an optional target below it.
• Forced flat. At the configured flat time before session end, any open position is closed and the close price of that bar becomes the new reference close for the following session.
• Candle based exit. If enabled, a bearish bar closes longs, and a bullish bar closes shorts, regardless of where TP or SL sit, as long as a position is open.
What you will see on the chart
• Markers on entry bars. Standard strategy entry markers labeled “long” and “short” on the gap bars where trades open.
• Exit markers. Standard exit markers on bars where either the gap stop or target are hit, or where a candle exit or forced flat close occurs. Exit IDs “long_gap” and “short_gap” label gap based exits.
• Reference levels. Horizontal lines for the current long TP, long SL, short TP, and short SL while a position is open and the gap engine is enabled. They update when a new trade opens and disappear when flat.
• Session background. This version does not add background shading for the session; session logic runs internally based on time.
• No on chart table. All decisions are visible through orders and exit levels. Use the Strategy Tester for performance metrics.
Inputs with guidance
Session Settings
• Trading session (sess). Session window in exchange time. Typical value uses the regular cash session for each contract, for example “0830-1530” for ES. Adjust if your broker or symbol uses different hours.
• Minutes before session end to force exit (flat_before_min). Minutes before the session end where positions are forced flat and the reference close is stored. Typical range is 15 to 120. Raising it closes trades earlier in the day; lowering it allows trades later in the session.
Gap Risk
• Enable gap based TP/SL (use_gap_risk). Master switch for the gap distance exit engine. Turning it off keeps entries and forced flat logic but removes automatic TP and SL placement.
• Use TP limit from gap (use_gap_tp). Enables gap based profit targets. Typical values are true for structured exits or false if you want to manage exits manually and only keep a stop.
• Use SL stop from gap (use_gap_sl). Enables gap based stop losses. This should normally remain true so that each trade has a defined initial risk in ticks.
• TP multiplier of gap distance (tp_mult). Multiplier applied to the gap distance for the target. Typical range is 0.5 to 2.0. Raising it places the target further away and reduces hit frequency.
• SL multiplier of gap distance (sl_mult). Multiplier applied to the gap distance for the stop. Typical range is 0.5 to 2.0. Raising it widens the stop and increases risk per trade; lowering it tightens the stop and may increase the number of small losses.
Exit Controls
• Exit with candle logic (use_candle_exit). If true, closes shorts on bullish candles and longs on bearish candles. Useful when you want to react to intraday reversal bars even if TP or SL have not been reached.
• Force flat before session end (use_forced_flat). If true, guarantees you are flat by the configured flat time and updates the reference close. Turn this off only if you understand the impact on overnight risk.
Filters
There is no separate trend or volatility filter in this version. All trades depend on the presence of a full gap bar inside the session. If you need extra filtering such as ATR, volume, or higher timeframe bias, they should be added explicitly and documented in your own fork.
Usage recipes
Intraday conservative gap fade
• Timeframe. Five minute chart on ES regular session.
• Gap risk. use_gap_risk = true, use_gap_tp = true, use_gap_sl = true.
• Multipliers. tp_mult around 0.7 to 1.0 and sl_mult around 1.0.
• Exits. use_candle_exit = false, use_forced_flat = true. Focus on the structured TP and SL around the gap.
Intraday aggressive gap fade
• Timeframe. Five minute chart.
• Gap risk. use_gap_risk = true, use_gap_tp = false, use_gap_sl = true.
• Multipliers. sl_mult around 0.7 to 1.0.
• Exits. use_candle_exit = true, use_forced_flat = true. Entries fade full gaps, stops are tight, and candle color flips flatten trades early.
Higher timeframe gap tests
• Timeframe. Fifteen minute or sixty minute charts on instruments with regular gaps.
• Gap risk. Keep use_gap_risk = true. Consider slightly higher sl_mult if gaps are structurally wider on the higher timeframe.
• Note. Expect fewer trades and be careful with sample size; multi year data is recommended.
Properties visible in this publication
• On average our risk for each position over the last 200 trades is 0.4% with a max intraday loss of 1.5% of the total equity in this case of 100k $ with 1 contract ES. For other assets, recalculations and customizations has to be applied.
• Initial capital. 100 000.
• Base currency. USD.
• Default order size method. Fixed with size 1 contract.
• Pyramiding. 0.
• Commission. Flat 2 USD per order in the Strategy Tester Properties. (2$ buying + 2$selling)
• Slippage. One tick in the Strategy Tester Properties.
• Process orders on close. ON.
Realism and responsible publication
• No performance claims are made. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
• Costs use a realistic flat commission and one tick of slippage per trade for ES class futures.
• Default sizing with one contract on a 100 000 reference account targets modest per trade risk. In practice, extreme slippage or gap through events can exceed this, so treat the one and a half percent risk target as a design goal, not a guarantee.
• All orders are simulated on standard candles. Shapes can move while a bar is forming and settle on bar close.
Honest limitations and failure modes
• Economic releases, thin liquidity, and limit conditions can break the assumptions behind the simple gap model and lead to slippage or skipped fills.
• Symbols with very frequent or very large gaps may require adjusted multipliers or alternative risk handling, especially in high volatility regimes.
• Very quiet periods without clean gaps will produce few or no trades. This is expected behavior, not a bug.
• Session windows follow the exchange time of the chart. Always confirm that the configured session matches the symbol.
• When both the stop and target lie inside the same bar’s range, the TradingView engine decides which is hit first based on its internal intrabar assumptions. Without bar magnifier, tie handling is approximate.

Yesterday’s High Breakout - Trend Following StrategyYesterday’s High Breakout it is a trading system based on the analysis of yesterday's highs, it works in trend-following mode therefore it opens a long position at the breakout of yesterday's highs even if they occur several times in one day.
There are several methods for exiting a trade, each with its own unique strategy. The first method involves setting Take-Profit and Stop-Loss percentages, while the second utilizes a trailing-stop with a specified offset value. The third method calls for a conditional exit when the candle closes below a reference EMA.
Additionally, operational filters can be applied based on the volatility of the currency pair, such as calculating the percentage change from the opening or incorporating a gap to the previous day's high levels. These filters help to anticipate or delay entry into the market, mitigating the risk of false breakouts.
In the specific case of NULS, a 9% Take-Profit and a 3% Stop-Loss were set, with an activated trailing-stop percentage. To postpone entry and avoid false breakouts, a 1% gap was added to the price of yesterday's highs.

Gap Stats v2This helpful analysis tool displays a table of days a stock has gapped, how much it gapped by and what percentage of the gap was covered.
It is meant to be used on the daily timeframe and can help you distinguish if gaps are going to be filled or not. I like to use it mainly on medium + cap stocks
that have gapped overnight or pre-market and see what the tendency is with how it behaves after a major gap.
Gap Absorption StrategyLike the nature, markets don't like the void, and this is something we can take advantage of by trading gaps on some markets.
This technique is well known, so I wanted to write a tiny script based on this strategy to get a bit more comfortable with it.
IMPORTANT: Default parameters wont give you good trades on every markets, you need to modify these parameters to see which proportions correspond to the stock you're trading.
This script triggers signals on predefined variation of a stock price after a gap, and allows its user to configure TP and SL prices corresponding to a specific percentage of this gap movement.
Note: We can observe that opening gaps are often the most interesting.
Options
Trigger: the price variation you want to trigger on (in % of the price)
Stop Loss : in % of the gap
Take profit : in % of the gap
A small table is displayed in the top right corner of the chart to give you TP/SL/Signal prices for each opportunity
SL (red line) and TP (green line) are also displayed on the chart when a signal is triggered
Information concerning the current opportunity is given at the bottom of the chart
Note: This script is based on the Gap-Size-Indicator that I published a few weeks ago.
Gap Down Reversal StrategyA "Gap down Reversal" is when the current days candle, opens, below the prior days close, and "finishes up" on the day with the close greater than the open. This type of price action can provide traders with favorable entry points to trade long, as anyone who was short the prior day, can get squeezed or panic out of the trade as they would see profits erode quickly from the gap down at the open.
Strategy results are shown on SHOP with 10k starting capital and 10k per trade. The strategy enters at next days close after the gap down reversal fires off, and a 5% trailing stop order is also executed. This is important to understand when experimenting with different trailing stops on different symbols and observing results to find the most viable strategy. The discretionary trader may choose to enter at the close, or at the next days open, so understand results are not calculated for those entry points.
You also may alter the start date of the strategy, so you can include, or exclude certain dates.
Experiment with different stops and symbols! More volatile symbols most likely will need looser stops and Vice Versa. Concentrate on symbols in up trends, as "the dips" usually get consistently bought in these names, but hard reversals in downtrends can happen as well.
Any questions/concerns please let me know and happy trading.
Gap Trading Strategy: CME BitcoinI created a strategy which finds gaps on CME Futures market for Bitcoin, BTC1! and opens a long or short position on the crypto exchange depending on what kind of gap was found (up or down) on CME.
Up gap: today open price > previous day high price
Down gap: today open price < previous day low price
Two lines below the main chart show when gaps appear. The green line represents the size of up gaps, when it crosses zero it gives a long signal. The red line - represents the size of down gaps, when it crosses zero - short signal.
Instead of having to look between multiple charts, this simply overlays the past weeks open and close should a gap appear.
Usage:
Strategy flips long / short depending of indicator signals. It could cut the position by stop loss or take profit.
Features:
ability to set stop loss and take profit in %
ability to set delta for gaps (if you want to filter small ones)
ability to choose strategy type. Standart: Long Up/Short Down || Inverse: Short Up/Long Down.
Backtesting:
Backtested on BTCPERP ( FTX ) and XBTUSD (Bitmex).
It shows a low drawdown, a small number of trades and 50% of profit for the 2020.
For example, I set high delta for down gaps to filter small ones
Strategy doesn't repaint.
Gap Filling Strategy Gaps are market prices structures that appear frequently in the stock market, and can be detected when the opening price is different from the previous closing price, this is why gaps are also called "opening price jumps". While gaps can occur frequently, some of them are more significant than others, and can be observed when looking at a long term chart.
The following strategy is based on the exploitation of significant gaps occurring during a new session, and posses various options that can return a wide variety of results.
Type Of Gaps And Occurence
I'am not a professional when it comes to gaps, but as you know the stock market close for the day, however it is still possible to place orders, your broker will hold them until the market open back. Once the market reopen the broker execute the pending orders, and when many orders where pending the market register really high volume and the price might differ from the precedent close.
Gaps are generally broken down into four types:
Common : Gaps occurring within a certain price range, mostly occurs during ranging markets.
Break Away : Gaps breaking a support and resistance, making a new higher high/lower low.
Runaway : Gaps occurring within a trend, followed by a continuation of the trend.
Exhaustion : Gaps occurring at the end of a trend, followed by a reversal.
As said before, some gaps are more significant than others, the significance of a gap can be determined by comparing the opening price with the previous high/low price and by looking at volume. Significant up gaps will have an opening price greater than the previous high, while significant down gap will have an opening price lower than the previous low with both high volume accompanying them.
After a gap, when the price go back to the point previous to the gap we say that it has been "filled", this characteristic is what will be exploited in this strategy.
Strategy Rules & Logic
In this strategy, the significance of a gap is determined by the position of the opening price relative to the previous high/low and make sure the bar following the gap don't fill it.
When the setting invert is set to false the strategy interpret the detected gaps as being exhaustion gaps, therefore when an up gap occur a short position is opened, when a down gap occur a long position is opened. When invert is set to true gaps are considered to be runaway or break away gaps, therefore the contrary positions are opened. Positions are exited when the gap has been filled, which in the chart is show'n when the price cross the red level who act as either a take profit (invert = false) or as a stop loss (invert = true).
There are various closing conditions available that the user can select from the "close when" setting.
New Session : This option close all previous positions when the market is in a new session.
New Gap : This option close all previous position when a new gap has been detected.
Reverse Position : This option close all previous position when a contrary position to the current one is opened. This option would reduce the number of trades.
Testing On Some Stocks
The analysis will be tested in different tech stocks with a main TF of 15 minutes with no spread and commissions applied. Default settings will be used. We'll be making our first analysis using AMD, who has recently formed a full reverse HS pattern, where the neckline has been crossed by the price. (by the way i have a bad feeling about it, hey ! feeling filling ! Lame jokes!)
Profit: $ -12.22
Trades: 272
Profitability: 65.07 %
We can see negative results, with an heavily decreasing balance. Using invert would return positive results.
We will now test the strategy on NVDA, the company is one of the biggest when it comes to the Gpu market.
Profit: $ -215.54
Trades: 297
Profitability: 60.27 %
Not better, using invert would of course create better results. Like AMD the balance is heavily decreasing.
Finally we will test the strategy on Seagate technology, a company mostly known for their mechanical hard drives.
Profit: $ -4.32
Trades: 261
Profitability: 65.9 %
Here the balance does not appear so heavily decreasing and even managed to reach back the initial balance before going down again.
Summary
A strategy based on gap filling has been briefly introduced and tested with 3 tech stocks. The results show that using invert option might be better. The advantage of this strategy against ones using technical indicators is that this one does not heavily depend on user settings, which make it way more efficient, this a big advantage of patterns based strategies.
Thx to LucF for helping with the "process_orders_on_close" element, since i had to use closing price i had to remove it tho, was afraid results would differ even more from a more realistic backtest. And thx for those who continuously support me, more cool stuff is coming up.
Thx for reading and i hope you'll have learned something new today !
MondayOpen Gap strategyThis strategy open orders on first bar of the week if there is a gap with Friday close price.
First bar could be on Sunday or on Monday, it depends on broker time.
Adjust starting hour with broker time. Use arrows to help finding correct broker time.
Also you should adjust gap size and exit hour.
Do not place on Daily charts.
Please use comment section for any feedback.
Next improvement (only to whom is interested to this script and follows me): study with alerts on multiple tickers all at one. Leave a comment if you want to have access to study.
