Body rule

The body rule finds a gap by comparing candle bodies instead of wicks, so it marks a different range from the wick rule.

Definition

The body rule finds a gap by comparing candle bodies instead of wicks, so it marks a different range from the wick rule.

A body is the span between a candle's open and close. Using bodies leaves out the wicks, so the range it finds is different, and some wick gaps do not exist under it.

The site's counts and charts use the wick rule. A number from another site may use another rule, and the two should not be compared.
