I know this thread is nearly 3 years old but hopefully someone may respond!

I had made gapless indicators for Tradestation over at TL.

Gapless Squeeze - Traders Laboratory - 6161



Also for MarketDelta

Although one could say "gapless" indicators do not reflect reality in that they do not take into account a gap in price, I do however see the benefit in using this concept on "momentum" based indicators.

I would be grateful for someone to code up an EMA or something basic as I do not know C# well enough to code it myself.

I use complexed momentum based paintbars and would like to use this method as an alternative.

It is relatively simple to code gapless indicators. You would just need to eliminate the gap which occurs at a session break. The gap is the difference between the open of the first bar of the session and the close of the last bar of the prior session.

Here is a quick & dirty version which has a few lines added to the original EMA.

Thanks Fat Tails. I tried my hand at making a simple Gapless Macd. Enjoy.

Following request made by @Big Mike, I have modified the SuperSmoother and coded a gapless version for use with RTH session templates.

Further at request from @Big Mike is attached a gapless version of the Roofing Filter by John Ehlers. The indicator eliminates the gap at the start of each session.

Thanks Harry.



This demonstrates a MACD Gapless (panel 2) vs traditional w/gap (panel 3), using the Roofing Filter as a proxy.
