Gap EA is an automated trading system, which uses regularities of a price gap closing.

It is known that in about 90% of cases the gaps are likely to close, i.e. the price almost always approaches to the close price of the previous bar. The Expert Advisor utilizes this principle.

The robot tracks the gap and places an order with a take profit at the extreme of the gap, with a small stop loss.
