What is the logic for Logic for GapUp() & GapDown() functions?

When I plot a using "PlotArrow(GapUp(),"Up",BelowLow,colorBlue)". I am not seeing the results I expect to see.

For example does GapUp() returns 1 only when a price gaps up and the gap is not closed the same day???

Best Answer

Yes, that is what GapUp indicator returns.

It returns 1 if today's low is higher than yesterday's high.

Are you looking for a different indicator?

That is interesting because I thought a gap up is defined if today's open is greater than yesterday's close.
