ColorBearsGap: Using Candle Gaps to Track Short-Term Trend Continuation

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

ColorBearsGap is described as an indicator that displays price gaps associated with ColorBearsCandle bars. The text suggests that these gaps can precede continuation of short-term price trends. It says a histogram bar becomes available for analysis after the underlying bars have fully formed, implying that users should wait for completed-bar information before reading the signal.

The description supplies no rules for entering or exiting trades, no empirical results, and no account of false signals or market conditions where gaps may fail. It also notes a dependency on a smoothing-algorithm library that must be installed in the platform's include folder. The continuation claim is therefore a hypothesis about indicator behavior, not evidence of predictive performance; the tool's signals would need independent testing before use.

Key ideas

  • The indicator displays price gaps in bars associated with ColorBearsCandle.
  • The stated interpretation is that gaps may precede continuation of a short-term trend.
  • A histogram reading is available after the relevant bars are fully formed.
  • The description provides no performance evidence or full trading rules.
