Could someone help me confirm if there is an existing study within Sierra that I can configure to identify price gaps on a candle stick chart,
gaps where prior close of a candle is not the same price as the following candle open level

I would ideally like to colour the background of the gap and configure gap criteria i.e. how many ticks

Quantower contains a gap indicator but its based on a gap between OHLC instead of close, open..... the study cannot be configured in QT

There is the following study:
Extend Bar Gap Until Future Intersection

There are also some gap named items in the "Candlestick Patterns Finder" - you would need to dig further into the particular items to see how they work. Refer to the following to start:
CandleStick Patterns Finder

It would not be difficult to create an alert and use the "Color Bar Based on Alert Condition" to do whatever you want to do when there is a gap. Refer to the following:
