you could write this up in a Color Bar Based on Alert Condition study. all you would need to do is define your conditions in the Alert box. looks pretty simple

For the "Gap Imbalance", refer to the following:
Extend Bar Gap Until Future Intersection

For the "Volume Imbalance" (and also for the Gap Imbalance if you want) you can use the "Color Bar Based on Alert Condition" as mentioned above. The Alert Condition to check for a gap between the close and the open for two bars would be the following (this checks both Up and Down bars):
=IF(C[-1] < O[-1], O < C[-1], IF(C[-1] > O[-1], O > C[-1], 0))

Hello John,

Your suggestions did not quite help. They do not seem to display the information as intended.

For Gap Imbalances(GIB) we need an extending rectangle between the open and close instead of the single line from the open/close of one of the candles involved in creating the imbalance. I tried increasing the thickness of the line but it appeared to be skewed.

For Volume Imbalances (VIB) we want a similar extending rectangle drawn from between the open and close of the two candles creating the imbalance and not a colored bar.

One really helpful addon feature would be to have the option to display VIBs and GIBs from other time frames.

See attached images. GIB - Blue. VIB - Brown.

Hopefully this helps clarify if at all there were any misunderstandings.

We cannot help with this. You are going to need to custom develop your own study.

Hi All,

I'm quite new to posting on the support boards. From what I can tell, the original posters want the GIB Gaps In Value areas to be highlighted and extend until intersection. I have something like this that I have implemented myself for myself. I'm not sure why anyone would be interested in Value Area gaps on their own, but with exhaustion I can understand (see the triangles).

If there is interest in this I can probably clean up the study and make it available for sierra chart usernames for the price of a monthly coffee. I assume sierra chart has some method for me sharing studies like that.

Best Regards,
Tim

Hi,

I created the below. It will display value areas and Gaps between value areas.

I hope this is useful to others.

Best Regards,
