PL here is an example of closing the gap between yesterday 4:15 bar and todays 9:30 bar. Gap is closed by shifting the previous days close to the current days open. All bars previous to the open of today are also shifted to keep their movement pattern. You can see that the sequences of the previous day just continue on into the open of today and throughout the day. Sequences are just the orderly assembling of a channel, traverse or what you are building at the time. shifted code donated by Tams can be found on the web under ' Shifted '

I understand what you are saying but try solving any problem using 99% of the necessary information and let me know how that works out for you. If the overnight data of the chart you are watching makes a new high, a new low or any critical oscillation, by omitting it you are artificially skewing your information set to totally work again your decision making process. What you are doing is not done or even considered in any problem solving situation so why do traders think it is acceptable to apply this practice to technical analysis?
