Unfilled Gap Detector
This indicator displays gaps on a chart within a specified range which have not been filled. It offers the ability to set the minimum gap size to detect as a multiple of the average true range (ATR), as well as the allowed distance from a gap fill for the gap to be considered filled. The use of ATR allows the gap threshold to dynamically change as the stock price and volatility change over time. Lastly, it offers the ability to show gaps which have been filled in addition to unfilled gaps.
The following describes each input's effect on the indicator.
