GAP is an empty space on the chart, this happens because of a sudden spike in prices, especially during holidays. Gap often occurs on Mondays when the market is open.

GAP is an empty space from the ranks of candlesticks due to a large movement of the price

Gap in trading usually occurs if there is a big news, and this can be sudden

The function of the gap is when we do the distance between the earth and sell if possible don't do any position

But not always, sometimes losing the price even away from the gap, so use a good risk limit in this case

If we haven't been able to use the gap, you should not trade when there is a gap, it's better

GAPs don't only happen on Mondays, because I also see when there's big news, gaps sometimes appear.
