Gap down not recognized

  There was a gap down on the Dax 5 minute DFB chart yesterday (2/10) after the first 5 minute bar but the software doesn’t appear to be able to see it.  The first bar closed at 12885.9 and the second opened at 12871.0 for a gap of 14.9 but output of graph close[1] – open shows no gap, see attachments.

  Can anyone explain this?

  Sorry but yesterday the 02/10? Are you sure? Could you post a complete screenshot of your chart including the instrument name, date and price please?

  Are you using custom trading hours somehow?

  I tried that as an indictor and it works for me too but it doesn’t appear to pick up the gap as a graph instruction from a simple test system, see attached

  c1 = 0 c2 = 0 IF NOT LongOnMarket AND c1 THEN BUY 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET ENDIF If LongOnMarket AND c2 THEN SELL AT MARKET ENDIF graph close[1] - open

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

  c1 = 0 c2 = 0   IF NOT LongOnMarket AND c1 THEN BUY 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET ENDIF   If LongOnMarket AND c2 THEN SELL AT MARKET ENDIF   graph close[1] - open

  Try:

  graph close[1] graph open

  1 2	graph close[1] graph open

  to check their values.

  You are right, I don’t know what’s happening here. Please open a new technical report ticket and refer this topic in your message. I will do the same.
