Institutional Zones: Order Blocks + Fair Value Gaps (SMC/ICT)

Institutional Zones: Order Blocks + Fair Value Gaps (SMC/ICT) — TradingATH

Precision. Structure. Balance.

This complete institutional toolkit unifies Order Blocks (OBs) and Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) into one refined visualization—mapping both the origin and the consequence of institutional displacement.

Designed for SMC/ICT Traders, it provides a clear, disciplined, and data-driven framework to identify where market intent begins (OBs) and where inefficiencies remain (FVGs), offering full structural context and professional visual coherence.

What You’ll See

• Bullish & Bearish Order Blocks displayed in harmonized green and red tones with precise borders, mid-lines, and compact labels.
  
• Bullish & Bearish Fair Value Gaps rendered as soft-shaded imbalance zones identifying inefficiencies where price may rebalance.
  
• Dynamic or Static FVG Modes — choose between continuously updating live zones or static boxes extending a defined bar length.
  
• Extend-Until-Mitigated OBs — automatically prolonging zones until mitigation for actionable live tracking.
  
• Smart Labels & Mitigation Lines clearly marking each institutional zone and its structural cleanup upon closure.
  
• Unified Color System for consistent and elegant presentation across all structural and imbalance elements.
  

Features

• Dual Detection Logic: Integrates refined Volume Pivot Logic for OBs and Three-Candle Displacement for FVGs, capturing both intent and imbalance with accuracy.
  
• Mitigation Control: OBs validated by Wick or Close; FVGs automatically removed or softened once price rebalances.
  
• ATR Size Filter: Excludes insignificant OBs with configurable ATR-based thresholds for professional signal quality.
  
• Dynamic Visualization: FVG zones evolve live as price compresses inefficiencies; OBs extend dynamically until mitigation.
  
• Smart Alert Suite:
  
• Performance Optimized: Efficient use of arrays and conditionals ensures smooth, lag-free responsiveness across all timeframes.
  
• Professional Visual Design: Balanced opacity, typography, and spacing deliver a clean institutional-grade charting experience.
  
• Full SMC/ICT Integration: Works seamlessly with Liquidity Sweeps, Market Structure Shifts, and Killzone indicators for holistic confluence.
  

Perfect For

• SMC/ICT Traders seeking complete visual context of institutional intent and imbalance.
  
• Intraday Traders requiring responsive OB/FVG detection and live mitigation tracking.
  
• Swing Traders identifying high-value unmitigated zones as key decision points.
  
• Analysts & Educators demanding professional clarity for research and teaching of institutional price theory.
  

Recommended Settings

• Volume Pivot Length: 5–14 (balances sensitivity vs. selectivity).
  
• Mitigation Method: Wick for reactive setups; Close for confirmation-based entries.
  
• OB Length (bars): 10–50; enable Extend-Until-Mitigated for live tracking.
  
• FVG Extend: ~20 bars for structural clarity.
  
• FVG Mode: Dynamic OFF for backtesting; ON for live monitoring.
  
• ATR Filter: Min 0.25×, Max 3× to refine valid OBs.
  
• Mitigation Lines: Enabled for clear visual confirmation of rebalancing.
  

In Short

Institutional logic. Visual harmony. Trading precision.

Institutional Zones: Order Blocks + Fair Value Gaps (SMC/ICT) — TradingATH delivers a unified, professional visualization of both structural origins and price inefficiencies — enabling traders to see where institutional intent begins, where imbalances remain, and where rebalancing is most likely to occur.
