This EA is based on the Indice gaps between todays open price and yesturdays closing price. On Metatrader these are not shown as we only see a 24hr chart. If we want to know the gap between the open at 16:30 and yesturdays close at 23:30 on the SP500 this EA will reveal the gap. On Indices these types of Gap close approximately 60% of the time within the same day and is demonstrated on the panel which records previous gap closures and provides to the user a statistical proof of gaps closing for any Indice market its applied to.
But also we need to know exactly when the gap will close. This I have discovered can be found when price breaks through a previous low for a down gap or breaks through a previous high for an up gap. Think about this! If price is breaking a new low and there's been a down gap it means price is bearish and will probably continue selling off till price reaches the close. Remember! As proven these gaps close 60% of the time. You can see all this for your self on backtest!
Thats how this EA gets its prediction of price direction and gives this system perfect timing for a truly remarkable strike rate.
When a gap occurs it draws a line projecting outward from yesturdays close to todays open then draws an entry arrow followed by 2 take profit lines based on the distance of current open to yesturdays close.

Trade Management
- Classic - If true we use the Take Profit 1 to either move stop to break even or close half lot size
- Trailing - If true we instead start trailing our stop loss when we reach Take Profit 1
Classic Settings :
- Stop Loss Size - A choice of 1:1 upto 5:1 Risk Reward Ratio. Based on the distance between open order price and yesturdays close
- Break Even or Half Lot Size - Break Even true will move stop to break even when Take Profit 1 is met likewise Half Lot Size true will close half the lot when Take Profit 1 is met
Trailing Settings :
- Trailing Stop (Volatility) - Trailing Stop will adjust according to the size of Average True Range EG If ATR=100, 1.2 x 65 = 78 so, Trailing Stop = 120
- Minimum Profit (Volatility) - Minimum Profit will adjust according to the size of Average True Range EG If ATR=100, 0.6 x 100 = 39 so, Minimum Profit = 60
- Stop Loss (Volatility) - Stop will adjust according to value of Average True Range EG If ATR=100, and Stop Loss = 1.0 then Stop Loss will be 100 points because 1.0 x 100 = 100

- Points From Gap Close - If we want the order to close just before close is met we can input how many points

- Points From Highest/Lowest Pending Order - If we want the pending order slightly move back from highest lowest. Again as percentage 0.1 = 10%, 0.2 = 20%
