Hello, I’d please like assistance with coding a custom javascript indicator. I have coded other indicators based on tutorials, videos, and community indicators - but this one I can’t seem to get to work. I use candlestick-bar charts. This indicator will overlay the candlestick-bar charts. Here are the specifications: 1. This indicator will highlight gaps by overlaying semi-translucent rectangle shapes on top of candlestick-bars. There are two kinds of gaps, a bear-gap and a bull-gap: 1A. A bear-gap occurs when a candlestick-bar’s high does not overlap with the low of the candlestick-bar before last. 1B. A bull-gap occurs when a candlestick-bar’s low does not overlap with the high of the candlestick-bar before last. 1. The semi-translucent rectangle shapes should have the following properties: 2A. height should be the height of the gap (as described in 1 above) 2B. width should of the equal the width of two candlestick-bars 2C. opacity should be 50 percent 2D. color should be red for a bear-gap and blue for a bull-gap Please find a mockup below. Thank you for your assistance. ![gaps](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/tradingforum/original/2X/b/ba707c4e547c3e53d70b213390243c2d9792fa9b.png) ---

I know that it is completely unrelated… but have you looked at Renko charts? ---
