Gap Finder Function - GAP()

By Optuma Team · Updated 2021-08-18

The GAP() function has 4 outputs based on the Gap Finder tool:

GapAbove - Price of the beginning of the next gap zone above.

GapBelow - Price of the beginning of the next gap below.

GapAboveSize - the width of the zone above (in $).

GapBelowSize - the width of the zone below (in $).

In this example of $BA the watchlist columns match the zones on the chart:

Capture

To scan for when close is currently within 50c of a gap above, and the gap width is greater than $1:

G1 = GAP();
((G1.GapAbove - Close()) < 0.5) and (G1.GapAboveSize > 1)
