Show/hide Price Gaps

Brief

The article explains how to show or hide price gaps on a chart.

Details

A price gap occurs when the closing price of one period differs noticeably from the opening price of the immediately following period. On a chart, it looks like a break in a chain of candlesticks or bars. Note that on Line mode charts, price gaps are not visible.

Presence or absence of price gaps on a chart affects the appearance of lines and other chart elements. Thus, it's up to you whether to show the gaps on a chart or not.

To show or hide price gaps

1. Do one of the following:

• On the File menu, click Options.
• Right-click in the chart, and then, in the menu that appears, click Options.
  
  * In the FXCM Trading Station, the command is available on the System menu.
  
2. The Options dialog box appears.
   
   
3. In the left-hand panel, click General Options.
4. In the right-hand panel, click in the Price Gaps option row.
5. Click the arrow button that appears, and then select a value of your choice. The available values are Hide and Show.
6. Click OK.
