Gaps are sharp breaks in price with no trading occurring in between.
In forex they mostly happen on weekends since the Forex market is open 24 hours a day,
seven days a week, and only shuts on weekends.

Open Long
If the price Gup up is greater than the set minimum in pips.

Vice versa for Short

Good afternoon, thanks for your help. I tried to optimize the strategy but no trade opens. I am attaching the screenshot of the settings.
Thank you.

Usually, you will find gaps on D1 and greater.

Hi, I ran a test from 01/01/2022 to today on ger30 with time frame D1. The strategy opens only one position in the entire period.

1. Re-download.
2. Try to set "Minimal GAP in pips" to zero.

3. Set "Show Price Gap" to Show
I suspect some of the sources have gaps removed.
