@LongBTC -- yes, I noticed too. At first I thought it might be my broker. I have several accounts and it was the same with all of them. I didn't have any open trades, so I shrugged it off. I mean, what is one supposed to do with it other than to say ...

@BlackStack -- so there seems to be 2 different types of gaps 1. Any difference between the previous Close and current Open -- even if they overlap. 2. A jump in price -- i.e. a space. Or, more simply -- overlapping versus non-overlapping gaps. Do ...

@Pumi -- true. But wouldn't it be nice to do this in real time? Also, analyzing an exported history file in Excel doesn't create a target level on an MT4 chart. And I think that is where we may be headed here.

I just now took a closer look at this indicator -- it's very nice. Now I can see gaps everywhere -- H1 down to M1. Just to be clear -- a gap here (i.e. with the indicator @SwingMan posted) doesn't necessarily mean there is an unfilled space. This ...

@rosalieone -- I did check that one out but wasn't so impressed. Plus, without source code then there isn't much I could do with it, nor could I validate how it was going about detecting gaps.

(binned per thread starter’s request) MM (Money Maker) Detective

Very cool -- source code and all. @SwingMan -- thank you.

It's interesting that @TopCover just recently brought up the issue of gaps. Back in post #1040 I wrote about ticks -- in particular comparing the most recent Open price versus the previous Close price. Most of the time they are exactly the same -- ...

@BlackStack -- very nice reference -- thanks. I think it answered most of my questions. Until now I haven't paid attention to gaps.

Hello @parisboy -- yes, we all need to let off some steam. Perhaps the spike is caused by the MM letting off steam because his/her favorite soccer team lost a match. Hmmmm -- I wonder if there is a correlation between soccer scores and price charts ...

@profitfarmer -- nice example -- thanks... Do I detect a hint of sarcasm? You left out a couple of my favorites -- Bollinger Bands and Stochastics... A newbie question -- I don't get why the gap becomes a target. I thought gaps were sometimes caused ...

Yep -- hypocrisy can be contagious... Just for the record, out of 1093 posts I think 3 or 4 have been hidden. What percent is that? Yes -- I'd have to agree -- pretty close minded... This is more fun than a barrel of monkeys -- let's do it again ...

Well, I was sort of close -- I thought it might be "Brownnoser", but you couldn't spell and left out the 'r'. I think I prefer Bootlicker.

What's a "bo.....er"? There are too many dots. Is this like Wheel of Fortune? Do I have to guess the missing letters? Can I buy an "R", "W", "N", "S"...

Sleep, what's that? Actually, I take naps. When you're the boss you can do that and no one will report it (to the boss).

Fair enough. Wouldn't be the first time for me and, hopefully not the last. But, I don't know who said this -- "you'll never know unless you try".

Hey @bluesteele -- the pleasure was mine. Looking forward to more in the future. As for getting late -- no kidding. But I was told this is where all the hot chicks hang out -- that's why I'm here so late. What about you?

(binned per thread starter’s request) MM (Money Maker) Detective

Damn -- can I take it back? I didn't even look at the chart. I just trusted OAPDave. @skyway -- I've told you before. I've told everyone. I'm a rookie here. Actually -- I just now checked. The trade closed with a $10 USD profit. This will cover my ...

(binned per thread starter’s request) MM (Money Maker) Detective

No -- still wrong, but getting warmer. Never said the purpose of the indicator was to identify MM psychology (according to @George or anyone else for that matter). I'm too lazy to go back to post #1 right now, but I'll reiterate the purpose of the ...

Okay -- I just sold 1000 lots GBPUSD. I hope you're right, otherwise my family will be moving in with you...
