PD Array Gap Inversion Map

Marks 15-minute and 5-minute gaps as separate layers, tracks mitigation on bodies, and follows an inversion through sponsorship, structure shift and the tap.

What it draws

  • Every gap on each enabled layer, wick to wick across three candles (R-6.1), as a box extending right, tinted by layer and labelled with the timeframe it came from.
  • Its consequent encroachment — the 50% (R-6.6) — as a dotted line.
  • The box greyed and closed off when bodies mitigate it (R-6.11), or recoloured amber and relabelled 'inverted' when it fills while making a gap the other way (R-6.35).

What it needs to be correct

Chart, symbol and session. A tool that is right on one chart and wrong on another, silently, is the thing this table exists to prevent.

Chart timeframe
Any at or below the lowest enabled layer. Layers are read from their own timeframe, so a 15-minute gap is a 15-minute gap whatever chart it is drawn on — but a chart above 5 minutes cannot show you the candles a 5-minute gap is made of.
Symbol
NQ / MNQ. The only point-denominated input is the optional minimum gap size, which defaults to off.
Session
No session filter. Gaps are gaps; the session rules live in the LQG panel.
Repaint
Nothing is drawn or alerted from a candle that is still forming. Every reading below is decided at a close. Each layer acts only when that layer's candle closes, so a 15-minute gap appears at :15, :30, :45 or :00 and not before.

Inputs

Where the One42 framework records a question as unresolved, the tool exposes an input instead of choosing quietly. The note says which number is James's and which is yours.

Layer A / Layer B

15 minutes / 5 minutes, both on

The two layers the framework works from. Both are explicit reads of that timeframe.

Chart timeframe layer

Off

On a 1-minute chart this marks 1-minute gaps, which are not the arrays the framework uses.

Minimum gap size

0 points

The rulebook sets no minimum. This filter is the trader's, not James's.

Merge overlapping gaps

On

R-6.17 / R-6.14: an overlapping gap on the same layer is the same zone. Across layers they stay separate, because that is two facts about two timeframes.

Minutes allowed for the sequence to complete

100

A staleness filter, measured from the inversion candle's close to the tap. The rulebook gives no number — 100 minutes is twenty 5-minute candles, and it is yours to set.

Require a structure shift before the tap counts

On

R-6.38, measured on bodies through the last confirmed swing.

Gaps to keep on the chart

40

A hard cap across all layers. When it is exceeded the OLDEST gap is deleted, whatever state it is in.

What invalidates a reading

The conditions under which the tool says nothing, or takes a level away. Knowing these is most of knowing how to read it.

  • A wick through a gap does nothing. Only bodies mitigate (R-6.11), and a tapped gap is still live (R-6.10).
  • An inversion with no sponsorship gap is not a setup (R-6.37) — it is an inversion that failed, and the sequence expires with it.
  • The candle that CREATES the sponsorship gap cannot also be the candle that taps it. The tap is a later candle trading back into the zone.
  • A new inversion on the same layer supersedes the one in progress. Two live sequences would double-count one tap.

What each alert means

Buy gap formed / Sell gap formed
A gap completed on a closed candle of any enabled layer.
Inversion formed
A gap filled while making one in the other direction. It now needs sponsorship — this is not an entry (R-6.37).
Inversion sponsored
A continuation gap formed in the inversion's direction.
Continuation gap tapped
The full sequence completed: inversion → sponsorship → structure shift → tap. R-6.39 puts the entry at the tap, not the CE.
Continuation gap tapped — layer A / layer B
The same, restricted to one layer, if you want the 15-minute and the 5-minute in separate alerts.

A bullish inversion on the 5-minute layer

One worked example, start to finish.

  1. 1A sell gap sits overhead from earlier in the session, drawn from three closed 5-minute candles.
  2. 2A 5-minute candle closes with its body through the top of that gap AND leaves a fresh buy gap behind it. At that close the box turns amber and reads 'inverted'. The buy gap it made is the sponsorship (R-6.35 / R-6.37) — the map records its top and bottom.
  3. 3Two candles later a body closes above the last confirmed swing high. That is the structure shift (R-6.38).
  4. 4Price pulls back. A 5-minute candle's range touches the sponsorship gap. 'Continuation gap tapped' fires at that candle's close — the sequence is complete.
  5. 5Had none of that arrived inside 100 minutes, the sequence would have expired silently and no alert would have been sent.

What this tool does not decide for you

Stated rather than left to be discovered, because a filter you thought was included and is not is the most expensive kind of surprise.

  • The sequence window (100 minutes) and the swing length for the structure shift are staleness and sensitivity settings, not rules James stated.
  • The map shows the sequence completing. It does not size, target or manage anything, and a completed sequence inside a blackout window is still a stand-down (see the LQG panel).

This is an analysis tool, not a signal service and not advice. Nothing here implies an outcome, and trading futures involves substantial risk of loss — read the full risk disclosure.
