Smart GAP Trader is a specialized NinjaTrader® toolset designed to help futures traders analyze opening gaps and hidden gaps more clearly and efficiently. Instead of manually calculating ratios or estimating direction, the tool performs real-time calculations and displays them as simple visual cues on your charts—so you can quickly assess potential opportunity and structure your trades with more confidence.
What’s Included
Smart GAP Trader Tool
A rules-based indicator that tracks opening gaps tick-by-tick and displays key metrics, ratios, and reference levels directly on your chart. It’s designed to help you better understand gap behavior and make more informed decisions during the first minutes after the open and throughout the session.
2 Smart GAP Strategies (Step-by-Step Videos)
Short, focused training videos walk you through market replay examples of gap setups in markets like ES, CL, and NQ. You’ll see how some traders use the Smart GAP Trader Tool to define entries, stops, and targets within a structured framework. These examples are for educational purposes and are intended to help you build and refine your own rules-based approach.
PDF Quick Start Guides
Frame-by-frame guides that show you exactly how to install, load, and configure the Smart GAP Trader Tool without disrupting your existing chart setup. They’re designed to help you get up and running quickly.
Bonus: Hidden Gap Indicator + 2 Hidden Gap Strategies
The Hidden Gap Indicator is built to highlight gap zones that may not be obvious at first glance. It can help you identify additional areas of interest for trade planning from the open through the close.
