Students of ICT concepts will know that the first FVG found within particular session periods can identify an important price level for intraday traders.
"Find the first FVG at the start of the session and drag a box from it to the right"....ICT
The script finds the first FVG (either bull or bear) within the following periods:
London Killzone (0200 - 0500) EST 02:00 - 0259 03:00 - 0359 0400 - 0459
Dead Zone (05-00 - 0600) EST 05-00 - 0559 0600 - 0659
NY AM Killzone (0700 - 1100) EST 0700 - 0759 0830 - 0929 0929 - 0959 1000 - 1100 (Silver Bullet)
A chart higher timeframe can be chosen to detect the FVGs and they will be displayed on lower timeframe. Default is 5min for detection. I like to then following price reacting to 5mi FVGs on a 1 min chart. FVG boxes can be extended to the end of the session, or to any time within the current days trading hours. Colors/Labels/ Session Periods can all be edited. A maximum timeframe for display is available and timezone can be adjusted.
FVGs are only shown for the current days trading hours.

Script re-write to enable the script to work in 'Replay Mode' and shows FVGs from previous days so it can be used for backtesting. Also added 3 options so users can add extra custom sessions.
