Half Gap

 

 

description:

this indicator would draw a line half way between previous day's close

and today's 1st bar open

e.g.

gap up opening: prev close = 100, today's open = 102

a line will be drawn at the half way point 101

 

gap down opening: prev close = 100, today's open = 98

a line will be drawn at the half way point 99

 

if the day's open is the same as previous close,

a line will be drawn at the previous close

Tams, your half gap indicator was a GREAT help for me for two days now. Yesterday the market traded down to half gap before rallying. Today the market bought up to half gap before dumping. Both days I took profits on my half gap fill. Thank you so much again.

No need to thank me. You are the kind hearted programmer who contributes your time and skills for the trading community. Some snake oil salesman probably charges a couple of hundred dollars for this indicator.

Tams,

Thanks, I saw the reference on TOS. I also use Tradestation. I assume that there is no strategy for that in TS? Is MultiCharts free, I have never used them? Just Meta, Ninja and TS and TOS.

 

MultiCharts is paidware.

 

What kind of strategy you have in mind?

can you outline your logic in programmable detail?

I was refering to your Multi Charts code on the Half Gap. I didn't know if it was programmed for TS.

MultiCharts uses an extended version of EasyLanguage.

most of MultiCharts' codes would work in TradeStation.

 

Give it a try... and let us know how it works out.

Hey Tams,

 

Thx for this great looking indicator....would like to use it....but, tried to load into TS, from the "pla" above. TS would not load it, & was kicked to a 'search the internet' window. So, then did a 'copy/paste', to create a new ELD.....after pasted it, hit the F3 to 'verify'.....came back with "6 errors"....so would not load.... :(

 

So, do you or anyone have a version that does load?? Any help would be appreciated, if it can be done. Thx ahead of time.

    • Date: 2nd April 2025.   Market on Edge: Tariff Announcement and Volatility Ahead!   The US economic and employment data continues to deteriorate with the job vacancies figures dropping to a 5-month low. In addition to this, the IMS Manufacturing PMI also fell below expectations. However, both the US Dollar and Gold declined simultaneously following the release of the two figures, an uncommon occurrence in the market. Traders expect a key factor to be today’s ‘liberation day’ where the US will impose tariffs on imports. USDJPY - Traders Await Tariff Confirmation! Traders looking to determine how the USDJPY will look today will find it difficult to determine until the US confirms its tariff plan. Today is the day when Trump previously stated he would finalize and announce his tariff plan. The administration has not yet released the policy, but investors expect it to be the most expansionary in a century. President Trump is due to speak at 20:00 GMT. On HFM's Calendar the speech is stated as "US Liberation Day Tariff Announcement". Currently, analysts are expecting Trump’s Tariff Plan to impose tariffs on the EU, chips and pharmaceuticals later today as well as reciprocal tariffs. Economists have a good idea of how these tariffs may take effect, but reciprocal tariffs are still unspecified. In addition to this, 25% tariffs on the car industry will start tomorrow. The tariffs on the foreign cars industry are a factor which will particularly impact Japan. Although, traders should note that this is what is expected and is not yet finalised. Last week, President Trump stated that he would implement retaliatory tariffs but allow exemptions for certain US trade partners. Treasury Secretary Mr Bessent and National Economic Council Director Mr Hassett suggested that the restrictions would primarily target 15 countries responsible for the bulk of the US trade deficit. However, yesterday, Trump contradicted these statements, asserting that additional duties would be imposed on any country that has implemented similar measures against US products. The day’s volatility will depend on which route the US administration takes. The harshness of the policy will influence both the Japanese Yen as well as the US Dollar.   USDJPY 5-Minute Chart   US Economic and Employment Data The JOLT Job Vacancies figure fell below expectations and is lower than the previous month’s figure. The JOLT Job Vacancies read 7.57 million whereas the average of the past 6 months is 7.78 million. The ISM Manufacturing Index also fell below the key level of 50.00 and was 5 points lower than what analysts were expecting. The data is negative for the US Dollar, particularly as the latest release applies more pressure on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates. However, this is unlikely to happen if the trade policy ignites higher and stickier inflation. In the Bank of Japan’s Governor's latest speech, Mr Ueda said that the tariffs are likely to trigger higher inflation. USDJPY Technical Analysis Currently, the Japanese Yen Index is the worst performing of the day while the US Dollar Index is more or less unchanged. However, this is something traders will continue to monitor as the EU session starts. In the 2-hour timeframe, the USDJPY is trading at the neutral level below the 75-bar EMA and 100-bar SMA. The RSI and MACD is also at the neutral level meaning traders should be open to price movements in either direction. On the smaller timeframes, such as the 5-minute timeframe, there is a slight bias towards a bullish outcome. However, this is only likely if the latest bearish swing does not drop below the 200-Bar SMA.     The key resistant level can be seen at 150.262 and the support level at 149.115. Breakout levels are at 149.988 and 149.674. Key Takeaway Points: Job vacancies hit a five-month low, and the ISM Manufacturing PMI missed expectations, adding pressure on the Federal Reserve regarding interest rate decisions. Traders await confirmation on Trump’s tariff policy, which is expected to impact the EU, chips, pharmaceuticals, and foreign car industries. The severity of the tariffs will influence both the JPY and the USD, with traders waiting for final policy details. The Japanese Yen Index is the worst index of the day while the US Dollar Index is unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
