Gap & Crap Detector V1

106
Gap & Crap Detector (5% Gap Detector + % Labels)

This indicator automatically detects stocks that gap up ≥ 5% (adjustable) from the previous day’s close and tracks whether the move holds or fails over the next three candles.

🔍 How It Works

Yellow % Label → Appears on every candle that gaps up ≥ 5%, showing the exact percentage gap.

Gap & Go (Green Label) → Triggers when the next 3 candles close above the gap-day low, signaling momentum continuation.

Gap & Crap (Red Label) → Triggers immediately if any of the next 3 candles close below the gap-day low, signaling momentum failure.
