Definitions
In plain terms
CMF evaluates each bar's high, low, and close, not the path between bars.
Technical
A gap-aware interpretation requires a separate return or session-boundary field in addition to CMF.
Scope
A high CMF does not prove that price accumulated smoothly without gaps.
Examples
- A reviewer computes CMF Gap Blind Spot from a small OHLCV fixture and checks readiness, units, and edge cases before publication.
Common misconceptions
- A high CMF does not prove that price accumulated smoothly without gaps.
