Sometimes a candle's close and the next candle's open are not the same price, after news, a weekend or on a higher timeframe. The space between them is an Open-Close Gap, which MSNR treats as a hidden zone.
The close of one candle and the open of the next leave a gap. Price later returns to that zone.
Higher timeframe gap = lower timeframe breakout
Zoom into a higher-timeframe gap on a lower timeframe and you usually find a breakout level inside it: an SBR or RBS that flipped. So you trade the gap by finding that flipped level on the lower timeframe.
Rules
Treat the whole gap as a zone, not a single line.
Refine it on a lower timeframe and look for the flipped SNR inside.
Do not connect trendlines to a gap SNR, unless it has been refined into a lower-timeframe engulfing level.
