Fair Value Gap Profiles [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This script draws and manages Fair Value Gap (FVG) zones by detecting unfilled gaps in price action and then augmenting them with intra-gap volume profiles from a lower timeframe. It is designed to help traders find potential areas where price may return to fill liquidity voids, and to provide extra detail about volume distribution inside each gap to assess strength and likely mitigation. The script automatically tracks each gap, updates its state over time, and can show which gaps are still unfilled or have been mitigated.
🟠 CONCEPTS
A Fair Value Gap is a zone between candles where no trades occurred, often seen as an inefficiency that price later revisits. The script checks each bar to see if a bullish (low above 2-bars-ago high) or bearish (high below 2-bars-ago low) gap has formed, and measures whether the gap’s size exceeds a threshold defined by a volatility-adjusted multiplier of past gap widths (to only detect significantly large gaps). Once a qualified gap is found, it gets recorded and visualized with a box that can stretch forward in time until filled. To add more context, a mini volume profile is built from a lower timeframe’s price and volume data, showing how volume is distributed inside the gap. The lowest-volume subzone is also highlighted using a sliding window scan method to visualise the true gap (area with least trading activity)
🟠 FEATURES
Visual gap boxes that appear automatically when bullish or bearish fair value gaps are detected on the chart.
Color-coded zones showing bullish gaps in one color and bearish gaps in another so you can easily see which side the gap favors.
Volume profile histograms plotted inside each gap using data from a lower timeframe, helping you see where volume concentrated inside the gap area.
Highlight of the lowest-volume subzone within each gap so you can spot areas price may target when filling the gap.
Dynamic extension of the gap boxes across the chart until price comes back and fills them, marking them as mitigated.
Customizable colors and transparency settings for gap boxes, profiles, and low-volume highlights to match your chart style.
Alerts that notify you when a new gap is created or when price fills an existing gap.
🟠 USAGE
This indicator helps you find and track unfilled price gaps that often act as magnets for price to revisit. You can use it to spot areas where liquidity may rest and plan entries or exits around these zones.
The colored gap boxes show you exactly where a fair value gap starts and ends, so you can anticipate potential pullbacks or continuations when price approaches them.
The intra-gap volume profile lets you gauge whether the gap was created on strong or thin participation, which can help judge how likely it is to be filled. The highlighted lowest-volume subzone shows where price might accelerate once inside the gap.
Traders often look for entries when price returns to a gap, aiming for a reaction or reversal in that area. You can also combine the mitigation alerts with your trade management to track when gaps have been closed and adjust your bias accordingly. Overall, the tool gives a clear visual reference for imbalance zones that can help structure trades around supply and demand dynamics.

IFVG by Toño# IFVG by Toño - Pine Script Indicator
## Overview
This Pine Script indicator identifies and visualizes **Fair Value Gaps (FVG)** and **Inverted Fair Value Gaps (IFVG)** on trading charts. It provides advanced analysis of price inefficiencies and their subsequent inversions when mitigated.
## Key Features
### 1. Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection
- **Bullish FVG**: Detected when `low > high ` (gap between current low and high of 2 bars ago)
- **Bearish FVG**: Detected when `high < low ` (gap between current high and low of 2 bars ago)
- Visual representation using colored rectangles (green for bullish, red for bearish)
### 2. Inverted Fair Value Gap (IFVG) Creation
- **IFVG Formation**: When a FVG gets mitigated (price fills the gap with candle body), an IFVG is created
- **Color Inversion**: The IFVG takes the opposite color of the original FVG
- Mitigated bullish FVG → Creates red (bearish) IFVG
- Mitigated bearish FVG → Creates green (bullish) IFVG
- **Mitigation Logic**: Uses only candle body (not wicks) to determine when a FVG is filled
### 3. Customizable Display Options
- **Show Normal FVG**: Toggle visibility of regular Fair Value Gaps
- **Show IFVG**: Toggle visibility of Inverted Fair Value Gaps
- **Smart FVG Display**: Even when "Show Normal FVG" is disabled, FVGs that are part of IFVGs remain visible
- **Extension Control**: Option to extend FVGs until they are mitigated
### 4. IFVG Extension Methods
- **Full Cross Method**: IFVG remains active until price completely crosses through it (including wicks)
- **Number of Bars Method**: IFVG remains active for a specified number of bars (1-100)
### 5. Visual Mitigation Signals
- **Cross Markers**: Shows X-shaped markers when IFVGs are mitigated
- Green cross above bar: Bearish IFVG mitigated
- Red cross below bar: Bullish IFVG mitigated
### 6. Comprehensive Alert System
- **IFVG Formation Alerts**: Notifications when new IFVGs are created
- **IFVG Mitigation Alerts**: Notifications when IFVGs are filled/mitigated
- **Separate Controls**: Individual toggles for bullish and bearish IFVG alerts
## How It Works
### Step-by-Step Process:
1. **FVG Detection**: Script continuously scans for 3-bar patterns that create price gaps
2. **FVG Tracking**: Each FVG is stored with its coordinates, type, and status
3. **Mitigation Monitoring**: Script watches for candle bodies that fill the FVG
4. **IFVG Creation**: Upon mitigation, creates an IFVG with opposite polarity at the same location
5. **IFVG Management**: Tracks and extends IFVGs according to chosen method
6. **Visual Updates**: Dynamically updates colors and visibility based on user settings
## Use Cases
- **Support/Resistance Analysis**: IFVGs often act as strong support/resistance levels
- **Market Structure Understanding**: Helps identify how market inefficiencies get filled and reversed
- **Entry/Exit Timing**: Can be used to time entries around IFVG formations or mitigations
- **Confluence Analysis**: Combine with other technical analysis tools for stronger signals
## Configuration Parameters
- **Colors**: Customizable colors for bullish/bearish FVGs and IFVGs
- **Extension**: Choose how long to display gaps on the chart
- **Alerts**: Full control over notification preferences
- **Visual Clarity**: Options to show/hide different gap types for cleaner charts
## Technical Specifications
- **Pine Script Version**: 5
- **Overlay**: True (displays directly on price chart)
- **Max Boxes**: 500 (supports up to 500 simultaneous gaps)
- **Performance**: Optimized array management for smooth operation
This indicator is particularly valuable for traders who use **Smart Money Concepts (SMC)** and **Inner Circle Trader (ICT)** methodologies, as it provides clear visualization of how institutional order flow creates and fills market inefficiencies.

🚩 WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
This isn’t just another box-drawing indicator.
While others mark every imbalance, this system thinks before it draws — using statistical modeling to filter out noise and prioritize high-impact zones.
By learning from how price behaves around gaps (not just how they form), it helps you trade only what matters — not what clutters.
⚙️ HOW IT WORKS
1️⃣ Detection
FVGs are identified using ATR-based thresholds and sharp wick imbalances.
2️⃣ Behavior Monitoring
Every gap is tracked — and if respected enough times, it becomes part of the elite training set.
3️⃣ Context Capture
Each new FVG logs RSI, MACD, and body size to provide a feature-rich context for prediction.
4️⃣ Prediction (Logistic Regression)
The model predicts how likely the gap is to be respected and assigns it a probability score.
5️⃣ Classification & Alerts
Gaps above the threshold are plotted with score labels, and alerts trigger for entry/respect/break.
⚙️ CONFIGURATION PANEL
🔧 System Inputs
• Max Retests – How many times a gap must be respected to train the model
• Prediction Threshold – Minimum score to show a gap on the chart
• Learning Rate – Controls how fast the model adapts (default: 0.009)
• Max FVG Lifetime – Expiration duration for unused gaps
• Show Historic Gaps – Show/hide expired or invalidated gaps
🎨 Visual Options
• Bullish/Bearish Colors – Set gap colors to fit your chart style
• Confidence Labels – Show probability scores next to FVGs
• Alert Toggles – Enable alerts for:
– New FVG detected
– FVG respected (entry)
– FVG invalidated (break)
💡 WHY LOGISTIC REGRESSION?
Traditional FVG tools rely on candle shapes.
This system relies on probability — by training on RSI, MACD, and price behavior, it predicts whether a gap will act as a true liquidity zone.
Logistic regression lets the system continuously adapt using new data, making it more accurate the longer it runs.
That means smarter signals, fewer false positives, and a clearer view of where real opportunities lie.

FVG Alerts (Vortus)What are Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)?
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) represent price inefficiencies where buying and selling volumes are imbalanced, creating gaps between the wicks of consecutive candles. These gaps often act as magnets for price, as markets tend to "fill" these gaps before resuming their trend.
FVGs can signal potential entry or exit points, making them a valuable tool for traders looking to exploit these price inefficiencies.
How to Use the Script to Add Alerts:
1. Add the Script to Your Chart:
Load the script into TradingView by pasting it into the Pine Script Editor, then apply it to your chart.
2. Adjust Your Settings:
In the "FVG Settings" section, decide whether you want gaps to be removed after their midpoint or full fill. You can also choose to identify gaps only after a candle has closed, adding a level of confirmation to your strategy.
Customize the colors for Bullish and Bearish FVGs under "Visual Settings" to match your chart's theme.
3. Set Up Your Alerts:
After adding the script to your chart, go to the "Alerts" section in TradingView.
Select either "Bullish FVG Filled" or "Bearish FVG Filled" from the "Condition" dropdown menu.
Configure the alert parameters such as frequency, expiration, and notification method according to your trading strategy.
4. Stay on Top of the Market:
Once set up, the script will automatically notify you when a Fair Value Gap is filled, keeping you informed of potential reversal or continuation opportunities without needing to constantly monitor the charts.

[KVA] ICT Dealing rangesNaive aproach of Dynamic Detection of Dealing Ranges:
The script dynamically identifies dealing ranges based on sequences of upward or downward price movements. It uses arrays to track the highest highs and lowest lows after detecting two consecutive up or down bars, a fundamental step towards understanding market structure and potential shifts in momentum.
ICT Concept: Order Blocks & Fair Value Gaps. This aspect can be linked to the identification of order blocks (bullish or bearish) and fair value gaps. Order blocks are essentially the last bearish or bullish candle before a significant price move, which this script could approximate by identifying the highs and lows of potential reversal zones.
Red and Green Ranges for Bullish and Bearish Movements:
The script separates these movements into red (bearish) and green (bullish) ranges, effectively categorizing potential areas of selling and buying pressure.
ICT Concept: Liquidity Pools. Red ranges could be indicative of areas where selling might occur, potentially leading to liquidity pools below these ranges. Conversely, green ranges might indicate potential buying pressure, with liquidity pools above. These areas are critical for ICT traders, as they often represent zones where price may return to "hunt" for liquidity.
Horizontal Lines for High and Low Points:
The indicator draws horizontal lines at the high and low points of these ranges, offering visual cues for significant levels.
ICT Concept: Breaker Blocks & Mitigation Sequences. The high and low points of these ranges can be seen as potential breaker blocks or areas for future mitigation sequences. In ICT terms, breaker blocks are areas where institutional orders have overwhelmed retail stop clusters, creating potential entry points for trend continuation or reversal. The high and low points marked by the indicator could serve as references for these sequences, where price might return to retest these levels.
Customizability and Historical Depth:
With inputs like rangePlot and maxBarsBack, the indicator allows for customization of the number of ranges to display and how far back in the chart history it looks to identify these ranges. This flexibility is crucial for tailoring the analysis to different trading strategies and timeframes.
ICT Concept: Market Structure Analysis. The ability to adjust the depth and number of ranges plotted caters to a detailed market structure analysis, an essential component of ICT methodology. Traders can adjust these parameters to better understand the distribution of buying and selling pressure over time and how actions have shaped price movements.
Gap Finder (Arpan)This indicator highlights gaps on the chart where the price between two bars changes without any trades happening between them. It'll highlight gaps created during "Gap Up" or "Gap Down". This indicator has been developed to highlight mainly smaller gaps created on lower time frames though it displays gaps on any time frame. This script also has the option to disable "Opening Gaps" so that we can easily see only smaller gaps on the charts. Gaps are highlighted with colored boxes. Users can change length, border color and background color of those boxes. Set "Opacity" to zero in settings if you don't want to see borders or background colors. Users are welcomed to share their suggestions or bugs in the script
Parallel Projections [theEccentricTrader]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator automatically projects parallel trendlines or channels, from a single point of origin. In the example above I have applied the indicator twice to the 1D SPXUSD. The five upper lines (green) are projected at an angle of -5 from the 1-month swing high anchor point with a projection ratio of -72. And the seven lower lines (blue) are projected at an angle of 10 with a projection ratio of 36 from the 1-week swing low anchor point.
█ CONCEPTS
Green and Red Candles
• A green candle is one that closes with a high price equal to or above the price it opened.
• A red candle is one that closes with a low price that is lower than the price it opened.
Swing Highs and Swing Lows
• A swing high is a green candle or series of consecutive green candles followed by a single red candle to complete the swing and form the peak.
• A swing low is a red candle or series of consecutive red candles followed by a single green candle to complete the swing and form the trough.
Peak and Trough Prices (Basic)
• The peak price of a complete swing high is the high price of either the red candle that completes the swing high or the high price of the preceding green candle, depending on which is higher.
• The trough price of a complete swing low is the low price of either the green candle that completes the swing low or the low price of the preceding red candle, depending on which is lower.
Historic Peaks and Troughs
The current, or most recent, peak and trough occurrences are referred to as occurrence zero. Previous peak and trough occurrences are referred to as historic and ordered numerically from right to left, with the most recent historic peak and trough occurrences being occurrence one.
Support and Resistance
• Support refers to a price level where the demand for an asset is strong enough to prevent the price from falling further.
• Resistance refers to a price level where the supply of an asset is strong enough to prevent the price from rising further.
Support and resistance levels are important because they can help traders identify where the price of an asset might pause or reverse its direction, offering potential entry and exit points. For example, a trader might look to buy an asset when it approaches a support level , with the expectation that the price will bounce back up. Alternatively, a trader might look to sell an asset when it approaches a resistance level , with the expectation that the price will drop back down.
It's important to note that support and resistance levels are not always relevant, and the price of an asset can also break through these levels and continue moving in the same direction.
Trendlines
Trendlines are straight lines that are drawn between two or more points on a price chart. These lines are used as dynamic support and resistance levels for making strategic decisions and predictions about future price movements. For example traders will look for price movements along, and reactions to, trendlines in the form of rejections or breakouts/downs.

• Swing High (HTF)
• Swing Low (HTF)
• Highest High

• Intraday Highest High (intraday charts only)
• Intraday Lowest Low (intraday charts only)
Swing High/Swing Low Occurrence
This input is used to determine which historic peak or trough to reference for swing high or swing low anchor point types.
HTF Resolution
This input is used to determine which higher timeframe to reference for swing high (HTF) or swing low (HTF) anchor point types.
Highest High/Lowest Low Lookback
This input is used to determine the lookback length for highest high or lowest low anchor point types.
Intraday Highest High/Lowest Low Lookback
When using intraday highest high or lowest low anchor point types, the lookback length is calculated automatically based on number of bars since the daily candle opened.
Angle Degree
This input is used to determine the angle of the trendlines. The output is expressed in terms of point or pips, depending on the symbol type, which is then passed through the built in math.todegrees() function. Positive numbers will project the lines upwards while negative numbers will project the lines downwards. Depending on the market and timeframe, the impact input values will have on the visible gaps between the lines will vary greatly. For example, an input of 10 will have a far greater impact on the gaps between the lines when viewed from the 1-minute timeframe than it would on the 1-day timeframe. The input is a float and as such the value passed through can go into as many decimal places as the user requires.
It is also worth mentioning that as more lines are added the gaps between the lines, that are closest to the anchor point, will get tighter as they make their way up the y-axis. Although the gaps between the lines will stay constant at the x2 plot, i.e. a distance of 10 points between them, they will gradually get tighter and tighter at the point of origin as the slope of the lines get steeper.
Projection Ratio
This input is used to determine the distance between the parallels, expressed in terms of point or pips. Positive numbers will project the lines upwards while negative numbers will project the lines downwards. Depending on the market and timeframe, the impact input values will have on the visible gaps between the lines will vary greatly. For example, an input of 10 will have a far greater impact on the gaps between the lines when viewed from the 1-minute timeframe than it would on the 1-day timeframe. The input is a float and as such the value passed through can go into as many decimal places as the user requires.
Number Lines
This input is used to determine the number of lines to be drawn on the chart, maximum is 500.
█ LIMITATIONS
All green and red candle calculations are based on differences between open and close prices, as such I have made no attempt to account for green candles that gap lower and close below the close price of the preceding candle, or red candles that gap higher and close above the close price of the preceding candle. This may cause some unexpected behaviour on some markets and timeframes. I can only recommend using 24-hour markets, if and where possible, as there are far fewer gaps and, generally, more data to work with.
If the lines do not draw or you see a study error saying that the script references too many candles in history, this is most likely because the higher timeframe anchor point is not present on the current timeframe. This problem usually occurs when referencing a higher timeframe, such as the 1-month, from a much lower timeframe, such as the 1-minute. How far you can lookback for higher timeframe anchor points on the current timeframe will also be limited by your Trading View subscription plan. Premium users get 20,000 candles worth of data, pro+ and pro users get 10,000, and basic users get 5,000.
█ RAMBLINGS
It is my current thesis that the indicator will work best when used in conjunction with my Wavemeter indicator, which can be used to set the angle and projection ratio. For example, the average wave height or amplitude could be used as the value for the angle and projection ratio inputs. Or some factor or multiple of such an average. I think this makes sense as it allows for objectivity when applying the indicator across different markets and timeframes with different energies and vibrations.

FVG Premium [no1x]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator provides a comprehensive toolkit for identifying, visualizing, and tracking Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) across three distinct timeframes (current chart, a user-defined Medium Timeframe - MTF, and a user-defined High Timeframe - HTF). It is designed to offer traders enhanced insight into FVG dynamics through detailed state monitoring (formation, partial fill, full mitigation, midline touch), extensive visual customization for FVG representation, and a rich alert system for timely notifications on FVG-related events.
█ CONCEPTS
This indicator is built upon the core concept of Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and their significance in price action analysis, offering a multi-layered approach to their detection and interpretation across different timeframes.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
A Fair Value Gap (FVG), also known as an imbalance, represents a range in price delivery where one side of the market (buying or selling) was more aggressive, leaving an inefficiency or an "imbalance" in the price action. This concept is prominently featured within Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodologies, where such gaps are often interpreted as footprints left by "smart money" due to rapid, forceful price movements. These methodologies suggest that price may later revisit these FVG zones to rebalance a prior inefficiency or to seek liquidity before continuing its path. These gaps are typically identified by a three-bar pattern:
Bullish FVG : This is a three-candle formation where the second candle shows a strong upward move. The FVG is the space created between the high of the first candle (bottom of FVG) and the low of the third candle (top of FVG). This indicates a strong upward impulsive move.
Bearish FVG : This is a three-candle formation where the second candle shows a strong downward move. The FVG is the space created between the low of the first candle (top of FVG) and the high of the third candle (bottom of FVG). This indicates a strong downward impulsive move.
FVGs are often watched by traders as potential areas where price might return to "rebalance" or find support/resistance.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Analysis
The indicator extends FVG detection beyond the current chart's timeframe (Low Timeframe - LTF) to two higher user-defined timeframes: Medium Timeframe (MTF) and High Timeframe (HTF). This allows traders to:
Identify FVGs that might be significant on a broader market structure.
Observe how FVGs from different timeframes align or interact.
Gain a more comprehensive perspective on potential support and resistance zones.
FVG State and Lifecycle Management
The indicator actively tracks the lifecycle of each detected FVG:
Formation : The initial identification of an FVG.
Partial Fill (Entry) : When price enters but does not completely pass through the FVG. The indicator updates the "current" top/bottom of the FVG to reflect the filled portion.
Midline (Equilibrium) Touch : When price touches the 50% level of the FVG.
Full Mitigation : When price completely trades through the FVG, effectively "filling" or "rebalancing" the gap. The indicator records the mitigation time.
This state tracking is crucial for understanding how price interacts with these zones.
FVG Classification (Large FVG)
FVGs can be optionally classified as "Large FVGs" (LV) if their size (top to bottom range) exceeds a user-defined multiple of the Average True Range (ATR) for that FVG's timeframe. This helps distinguish FVGs that are significantly larger relative to recent volatility.
Visual Customization and Information Delivery
A key concept is providing extensive control over how FVGs are displayed. This control is achieved through a centralized set of visual parameters within the indicator, allowing users to configure numerous aspects (colors, line styles, visibility of boxes, midlines, mitigation lines, labels, etc.) for each timeframe. Additionally, an on-chart information panel summarizes the nearest unmitigated bullish and bearish FVG levels for each active timeframe, providing a quick glance at key price points.
█ FEATURES
This indicator offers a rich set of features designed to provide a highly customizable and comprehensive Fair Value Gap (FVG) analysis experience. Users can tailor the FVG detection, visual representation, and alerting mechanisms across three distinct timeframes: the current chart (Low Timeframe - LTF), a user-defined Medium Timeframe (MTF), and a user-defined High Timeframe (HTF).
Multi-Timeframe FVG Detection and Display
The core strength of this indicator lies in its ability to identify and display FVGs from not only the current chart's timeframe (LTF) but also from two higher, user-selectable timeframes (MTF and HTF).
Timeframe Selection: Users can specify the exact MTF (e.g., "60", "240") and HTF (e.g., "D", "W") through dedicated inputs in the "MTF (Medium Timeframe)" and "HTF (High Timeframe)" settings groups. The visibility of FVGs from these higher timeframes can be toggled independently using the "Show MTF FVGs" and "Show HTF FVGs" checkboxes.
Consistent Detection Logic: The FVG detection logic, based on the classic three-bar imbalance pattern detailed in the 'Concepts' section, is applied consistently across all selected timeframes (LTF, MTF, HTF)
Timeframe-Specific Visuals: Each timeframe's FVGs (LTF, MTF, HTF) can be customized with unique colors for bullish/bearish states and their mitigated counterparts. This allows for easy visual differentiation of FVGs originating from different market perspectives.
Comprehensive FVG Visualization Options
The indicator provides extensive control over how FVGs are visually represented on the chart for each timeframe (LTF, MTF, HTF).
FVG Boxes:
Visibility: Main FVG boxes can be shown or hidden per timeframe using the "Show FVG Boxes" (for LTF), "Show Boxes" (for MTF/HTF) inputs.
Color Customization: Colors for bullish, bearish, active, and mitigated FVG boxes (including Large FVGs, if classified) are fully customizable for each timeframe.
Box Extension & Length: FVG boxes can either be extended to the right indefinitely ("Extend Boxes Right") or set to a fixed length in bars ("Short Box Length" or "Box Length" equivalent inputs).
Box Labels: Optional labels can display the FVG's timeframe and fill percentage on the box. These labels are configurable for all timeframes (LTF, MTF, and HTF). Please note: If FVGs are positioned very close to each other on the chart, their respective labels may overlap. This can potentially lead to visual clutter, and it is a known behavior in the current version of the indicator.
Box Borders: Visibility, width, style (solid, dashed, dotted), and color of FVG box borders are customizable per timeframe.
Midlines (Equilibrium/EQ):
Visibility: The 50% level (midline or EQ) of FVGs can be shown or hidden for each timeframe.
Style Customization: Width, style, and color of the midline are customizable per timeframe. The indicator tracks if this midline has been touched by price.
Mitigation Lines:
Visibility: Mitigation lines (representing the FVG's opening level that needs to be breached for full mitigation) can be shown or hidden for each timeframe. If shown, these lines are always extended to the right.
Style Customization: Width, style, and color of the mitigation line are customizable per timeframe.
Mitigation Line Labels: Optional price labels can be displayed on mitigation lines, with a customizable horizontal bar offset for positioning. For optimal label placement, the following horizontal bar offsets are recommended: 4 for LTF, 8 for MTF, and 12 for HTF.
Persistence After Mitigation: Users can choose to keep mitigation lines visible even after an FVG is fully mitigated, with a distinct color for such lines. Importantly, this option is only effective if the general setting 'Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs' is disabled, as otherwise, the entire FVG and its lines will be removed upon mitigation.
FVG State Management and Behavior
The indicator tracks and visually responds to changes in FVG states.
Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs: This option, typically found in the indicator's general settings, allows users to automatically remove all visual elements of an FVG from the chart once price has fully mitigated it. This helps maintain chart clarity by focusing on active FVGs.
Partial Fill Visualization: When price enters an FVG, the indicator offers a dynamic visual representation: the portion of the FVG that has been filled is shown as a "mitigated box" (typically with a distinct color), while the original FVG box shrinks to clearly highlight the remaining, unfilled portion. This two-part display provides an immediate visual cue about how much of the FVG's imbalance has been addressed and what potential remains within the gap.
Visual Filtering by ATR Proximity: To help users focus on the most relevant price action, FVGs can be dynamically hidden if they are located further from the current price than a user-defined multiple of the Average True Range (ATR). This behavior is controlled by the "Filter Band Width (ATR Multiple)" input; setting this to zero disables the filter entirely, ensuring all detected FVGs remain visible regardless of their proximity to price.
Alternative Usage Example: Mitigation Lines as Key Support/Resistance Levels
For traders preferring a minimalist chart focused on key Fair Value Gap (FVG) levels, the indicator's visualization settings can be customized to display only FVG mitigation lines. This approach leverages these lines as potential support and resistance zones, reflecting areas where price might revisit to address imbalances.
To configure this view:
Disable FVG Boxes: Turn off "Show FVG Boxes" (for LTF) or "Show Boxes" (for MTF/HTF) for the desired timeframes.
Hide Midlines: Disable the visibility of the 50% FVG Midlines (Equilibrium/EQ).
Ensure Mitigation Lines are Visible: Keep "Mitigation Lines" enabled.
Retain All Mitigation Lines:
Disable the "Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs" option in the general settings.
Enable the feature to "keep mitigation lines visible even after an FVG is fully mitigated". This ensures lines from all FVGs (active or fully mitigated) remain on the chart, which is only effective if "Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs" is disabled.
This setup offers:
A Decluttered Chart: Focuses solely on the FVG opening levels.
Precise S/R Zones: Treats mitigation lines as specific points for potential price reactions.
Historical Level Analysis: Includes lines from past, fully mitigated FVGs for a comprehensive view of significant price levels.
For enhanced usability with this focused view, consider these optional additions:
The on-chart Information Panel can be activated to display a quick summary of the nearest unmitigated FVG levels.
Mitigation Line Labels can also be activated for clear price level identification. A customizable horizontal bar offset is available for positioning these labels; for example, offsets of 4 for LTF, 8 for MTF, and 12 for HTF can be effective.
FVG Classification (Large FVG)
This feature allows for distinguishing FVGs based on their size relative to market volatility.
Enable Classification: Users can enable "Classify FVG (Large FVG)" to identify FVGs that are significantly larger than average.
ATR-Based Threshold: An FVG is classified as "Large" if its height (price range) is greater than or equal to the Average True Range (ATR) of its timeframe multiplied by a user-defined "Large FVG Threshold (ATR Multiple)". The ATR period for this calculation is also configurable.
Dedicated Colors: Large FVGs (both bullish/bearish and active/mitigated) can be assigned unique colors, making them easily distinguishable on the chart.
Panel Icon: Large FVGs are marked with a special icon in the Info Panel.
Information Panel
An on-chart panel provides a quick summary of the nearest unmitigated FVG levels.
Visibility and Position: The panel can be shown/hidden and positioned in any of the nine standard locations on the chart (e.g., Top Right, Middle Center).
Content: It displays the price levels of the nearest unmitigated bullish and bearish FVGs for LTF, MTF (if active), and HTF (if active). It also indicates if these nearest FVGs are Large FVGs (if classification is enabled) using a selectable icon.
Styling: Text size, border color, header background/text colors, default text color, and "N/A" cell background color are customizable.
Highlighting: Background and text colors for the cells displaying the overall nearest bullish and bearish FVG levels (across all active timeframes) can be customized to draw attention to the most proximate FVG.
Comprehensive Alert System
The indicator offers a granular alert system for various FVG-related events, configurable for each timeframe (LTF, MTF, HTF) independently. Users can enable alerts for:
New FVG Formation: Separate alerts for new bullish and new bearish FVG formations.
FVG Entry/Partial Fill: Separate alerts for price entering a bullish FVG or a bearish FVG.
FVG Full Mitigation: Separate alerts for full mitigation of bullish and bearish FVGs.
FVG Midline (EQ) Touch: Separate alerts for price touching the midline of a bullish or bearish FVG.
Alert messages are detailed, providing information such as the timeframe, FVG type (bull/bear, Large FVG), relevant price levels, and timestamps.
█ NOTES
This section provides additional information regarding the indicator's usage, performance considerations, and potential interactions with the TradingView platform. Understanding these points can help users optimize their experience and troubleshoot effectively.
Performance and Resource Management
Maximum FVGs to Track : The "Max FVGs to Track" input (defaulting to 25) limits the number of FVG objects processed for each category (e.g., LTF Bullish, MTF Bearish). Increasing this value significantly can impact performance due to more objects being iterated over and potentially drawn, especially when multiple timeframes are active.
Drawing Object Limits : To manage performance, this script sets its own internal limits on the number of drawing objects it displays. While it allows for up to approximately 500 lines (max_lines_count=500) and 500 labels (max_labels_count=500), the number of FVG boxes is deliberately restricted to a maximum of 150 (max_boxes_count=150). This specific limit for boxes is a key performance consideration: displaying too many boxes can significantly slow down the indicator, and a very high number is often not essential for analysis. Enabling all visual elements for many FVGs across all three timeframes can cause the indicator to reach these internal limits, especially the stricter box limit
Optimization Strategies : To help you manage performance, reduce visual clutter, and avoid exceeding drawing limits when using this indicator, I recommend the following strategies:
Maintain or Lower FVG Tracking Count: The "Max FVGs to Track" input defaults to 25. I find this value generally sufficient for effective analysis and balanced performance. You can keep this default or consider reducing it further if you experience performance issues or prefer a less dense FVG display.
Utilize Proximity Filtering: I suggest activating the "Filter Band Width (ATR Multiple)" option (found under "General Settings") to display only those FVGs closer to the current price. From my experience, a value of 5 for the ATR multiple often provides a good starting point for balanced performance, but you should feel free to adjust this based on market volatility and your specific trading needs.
Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs: I strongly recommend enabling the "Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs" option. This setting automatically removes all visual elements of an FVG from the chart once it has been fully mitigated by price. Doing so significantly reduces the number of active drawing objects, lessens computational load, and helps maintain chart clarity by focusing only on active, relevant FVGs.
Disable FVG Display for Unused Timeframes: If you are not actively monitoring certain higher timeframes (MTF or HTF) for FVG analysis, I advise disabling their display by unchecking "Show MTF FVGs" or "Show HTF FVGs" respectively. This can provide a significant performance boost.
Simplify Visual Elements: For active FVGs, consider hiding less critical visual elements if they are not essential for your specific analysis. This could include box labels, borders, or even entire FVG boxes if, for example, only the mitigation lines are of interest for a particular timeframe.
Settings Changes and Platform Limits : This indicator is comprehensive and involves numerous calculations and drawings. When multiple settings are changed rapidly in quick succession, it is possible, on occasion, for TradingView to issue a "Runtime error: modify_study_limit_exceeding" or similar. This can cause the indicator to temporarily stop updating or display errors.
Recommended Approach : When adjusting settings, it is advisable to wait a brief moment (a few seconds) after each significant change. This allows the indicator to reprocess and update on the chart before another change is made
Error Recovery : Should such a runtime error occur, making a minor, different adjustment in the settings (e.g., toggling a checkbox off and then on again) and waiting briefly will typically allow the indicator to recover and resume correct operation. This behavior is related to platform limitations when handling complex scripts with many inputs and drawing objects.

HTF FVG Confirmation is Essential: : For an FVG from a higher timeframe (MTF or HTF) to be identified and displayed on your current chart (LTF), the three-bar pattern forming the FVG on that higher timeframe must consist of fully closed bars. The indicator does not draw speculative FVGs based on incomplete/forming bars from higher timeframes.
Data Retrieval and LTF Processing: The indicator may use techniques like lookahead = barmerge.lookahead_on for timely data retrieval from higher timeframes. However, the actual detection of an FVG occurs after all its constituent bars on the HTF have closed.
Appearance Timing on LTF (1 LTF Candle Delay): As a natural consequence of this, an FVG that is confirmed on an HTF (i.e., its third bar closes) will typically become visible on your LTF chart one LTF bar after its confirmation on the HTF.
Example: Assume an FVG forms on a 30-minute chart at 15:30 (i.e., with the close of the 30-minute bar that covers the 15:00-15:30 period). If you are monitoring this FVG on a 15-minute chart, the indicator will detect this newly formed 30-minute FVG while processing the data for the 15-minute bar that starts at 15:30 and closes at 15:45. Therefore, the 30-minute FVG will become visible on your 15-minute chart at the earliest by 15:45 (i.e., with the close of that relevant 15-minute LTF candle). This means the HTF FVG is reflected on the LTF chart with a delay equivalent to one LTF candle.
FVG Detection and Display Logic
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on the current chart timeframe (LTF) are detected based on barstate.isconfirmed. This means the three-bar pattern must be complete with closed bars before an FVG is identified. This confirmation method prevents FVGs from being prematurely identified on the forming bar.
Alerts
Alert Setup : To receive alerts from this indicator, you must first ensure you have enabled the specific alert conditions you are interested in within the indicator's own settings (see 'Comprehensive Alert System' under the 'FEATURES' section). Once configured, open TradingView's 'Create Alert' dialog. In the 'Condition' tab, select this indicator's name, and crucially, choose the 'Any alert() function call' option from the dropdown list. This setup allows the indicator to trigger alerts based on the precise event conditions you have activated in its settings
Alert Frequency : Alerts are designed to trigger once per bar close (alert.freq_once_per_bar_close) for the specific event.
User Interface (UI) Tips
Settings Group Icons: In the indicator settings menu, timeframe-specific groups are marked with star icons for easier navigation: 🌟 for LTF (Current Chart Timeframe), 🌟🌟 for MTF (Medium Timeframe), and 🌟🌟🌟 for HTF (High Timeframe).
Dependent Inputs: Some input settings are dependent on others being enabled. These dependencies are visually indicated in the settings menu using symbols like "↳" (dependent setting on the next line), "⟷" (mutually exclusive inline options), or "➜" (directly dependent inline option).
Settings Layout Overview: The indicator settings are organized into logical groups for ease of use. Key global display controls – such as toggles for MTF FVGs, HTF FVGs (along with their respective timeframe selectors), and the Information Panel – are conveniently located at the very top within the '⚙️ General Settings' group. This placement allows for quick access to frequently adjusted settings. Other sections provide detailed customization options for each timeframe (LTF, MTF, HTF), specific FVG components, and alert configurations.
█ FOR Pine Script® CODERS
This section provides a high-level overview of the FVG Premium indicator's internal architecture, data flow, and the interaction between its various library components. It is intended for Pine Script™ programmers who wish to understand the indicator's design, potentially extend its functionality, or learn from its structure.
System Architecture and Modular Design
The indicator is architected moduarly, leveraging several custom libraries to separate concerns and enhance code organization and reusability. Each library has a distinct responsibility:
FvgTypes: Serves as the foundational data definition layer. It defines core User-Defined Types (UDTs) like fvgObject (for storing all attributes of an FVG) and drawSettings (for visual configurations), along with enumerations like tfType.
CommonUtils: Provides utility functions for common tasks like mapping user string inputs (e.g., "Dashed" for line style) to their corresponding Pine Script™ constants (e.g., line.style_dashed) and formatting timeframe strings for display.
FvgCalculations: Contains the core logic for FVG detection (both LTF and MTF/HTF via requestMultiTFBarData), FVG classification (Large FVGs based on ATR), and checking FVG interactions with price (mitigation, partial fill).
FvgObject: Implements an object-oriented approach by attaching methods to the fvgObject UDT. These methods manage the entire visual lifecycle of an FVG on the chart, including drawing, updating based on state changes (e.g., mitigation), and deleting drawing objects. It's responsible for applying the visual configurations defined in drawSettings.
FvgPanel: Manages the creation and dynamic updates of the on-chart information panel, which displays key FVG levels.
The main indicator script acts as the orchestrator, initializing these libraries, managing user inputs, processing data flow between libraries, and handling the main event loop (bar updates) for FVG state management and alerts.
Core Data Flow and FVG Lifecycle Management
The general data flow and FVG lifecycle can be summarized as follows:
Input Processing: User inputs from the "Settings" dialog are read by the main indicator script. Visual style inputs (colors, line styles, etc.) are consolidated into a types.drawSettings object (defined in FvgTypes). Other inputs (timeframes, filter settings, alert toggles) control the behavior of different modules. CommonUtils assists in mapping some string inputs to Pine constants.
FVG Detection:
For the current chart timeframe (LTF), FvgCalculations.detectFvg() identifies potential FVGs based on bar patterns.
For MTF/HTF, the main indicator script calls FvgCalculations.requestMultiTFBarData() to fetch necessary bar data from higher timeframes, then FvgCalculations.detectMultiTFFvg() identifies FVGs.
Newly detected FVGs are instantiated as types.fvgObject and stored in arrays within the main script. These objects also undergo classification (e.g., Large FVG) by FvgCalculations.
State Update & Interaction: On each bar, the main indicator script iterates through active FVG objects to manage their state based on price interaction:
Initially, the main script calls FvgCalculations.fvgInteractionCheck() to efficiently determine if the current bar's price might be interacting with a given FVG.
If a potential interaction is flagged, the main script then invokes methods directly on the fvgObject instance (e.g., updateMitigation(), updatePartialFill(), checkMidlineTouch(), which are part of FvgObject).
These fvgObject methods are responsible for the detailed condition checking and the actual modification of the FVG's state. For instance, the updateMitigation() and updatePartialFill() methods internally utilize specific helper functions from FvgCalculations (like checkMitigation() and checkPartialMitigation()) to confirm the precise nature of the interaction before updating the fvgObject’s state fields (such as isMitigated, currentTop, currentBottom, or isMidlineTouched).
Visual Rendering:
The FvgObject.updateDrawings() method is called for each fvgObject. This method is central to drawing management; it creates, updates, or deletes chart drawings (boxes, lines, labels) based on the FVG's current state, its prev_* (previous bar state) fields for optimization, and the visual settings passed via the drawSettings object.
Information Panel Update: The main indicator script determines the nearest FVG levels, populates a panelData object (defined in FvgPanelLib), and calls FvgPanel.updatePanel() to refresh the on-chart display.
Alert Generation: Based on the updated FVG states and user-enabled alert settings, the main indicator script constructs and triggers alerts using Pine Script's alert() function."
Key Design Considerations
UDT-Centric Design: The fvgObject UDT is pivotal, acting as a stateful container for all information related to a single FVG. Most operations revolve around creating, updating, or querying these objects.
State Management: To optimize drawing updates and manage FVG lifecycles, fvgObject instances store their previous bar's state (e.g., prevIsVisible, prevCurrentTop). The FvgObject.updateDrawings() method uses this to determine if a redraw is necessary, minimizing redundant drawing calls.
Settings Object: A drawSettings object is populated once (or when inputs change) and passed to drawing functions. This avoids repeatedly reading numerous input() values on every bar or within loops, improving performance.
Dynamic Arrays for FVG Storage: Arrays are used to store collections of fvgObject instances, allowing for dynamic management (adding new FVGs, iterating for updates).
FVG | iSolani
Unveiling Market Inefficiencies with Precision
In fast-moving markets, spotting hidden opportunities often hinges on identifying imbalances between price and value. The FVG | iSolani indicator revolutionises this process by detecting Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) —zones where price action skips over "fair" valuation levels, creating potential retracement targets. Combining advanced filtering, dynamic visualisation, and automated management, this tool empowers traders to pinpoint high-probability setups with unprecedented clarity.
Core Methodology
The indicator employs a multi-layered approach to identify FVGs:
Three-Bar Gap Analysis: Bullish FVGs form when the current low exceeds the high of two bars prior, while bearish FVGs occur when the current high stays below the low of two bars back.
Volatility-Adjusted Filtering: Gaps are measured against a 100-bar standard deviation to exclude insignificant price jumps.
Volume Confirmation: Only gaps accompanied by above-average volume (relative to a 1-bar SMA) are validated, filtering out low-conviction moves.
Auto-Invalidation System: Continuously monitors price action to remove FVG zones once price closes within their range, maintaining chart cleanliness.
Breaking New Ground
This tool introduces three paradigm-shifting innovations:
Volume-Weighted Significance: Unlike traditional FVG detectors, it ties gap validity to volume spikes, emphasising institutional activity.
Adaptive Zone Management: Boxes automatically extend rightward (when enabled) and self-destruct when invalidated, eliminating manual cleanup.
Smart Color Encoding: Offers both monochrome (for multi-timeframe analysis) and standard bull/bear color schemes, with customisable transparency.
Engine Under the Hood
The script operates through four key processes:
Gap Detection: Scans every new bar for three-candle patterns meeting FVG criteria.
Statistical Filtering: Applies user-defined threshold (default: 1σ) to separate meaningful gaps from market noise.
Box Rendering: Draws semi-transparent zones between gap boundaries using TradingView's box objects, styled according to user preferences.
Array-Based Memory: Stores all active FVGs in arrays, enabling real-time validation checks against current price action.
Standard Configuration
Optimised default settings balance visibility and functionality:
Filter: 1.0 (1 standard deviation threshold)
Colors: "Mono" mode (gray boxes) with 90% transparency
Text Labels: Enabled in medium gray
Extension: Gaps extend indefinitely rightward
Borders: Dotted lines with visible outlines
Through its fusion of quantitative rigor and visual adaptability, the FVG | iSolani transforms raw price data into actionable intelligence. By focusing on volume-confirmed gaps and automating zone management, it cuts through market chaos to reveal structurally significant levels—a must-have for traders navigating breakouts, reversals, or order-flow analysis.
CandelaCharts - Volume Imbalance (VI) 📝 Overview
Volume Imbalance occurs when there’s a noticeable gap between the bodies of two consecutive candlesticks, with no overlap between them. While the wicks of the candles might intersect, the candle bodies remain entirely separate. This phenomenon often signifies that the algorithm driving market activity did not evenly distribute prices between these two levels, leaving behind a small Volume Imbalance (VI).
A Bullish Volume Imbalance forms when the body of a green candlestick gaps above the previous candle’s body, with no overlap, indicating strong upward momentum and insufficient sell-side liquidity.
A Bearish Volume Imbalance forms when the body of a red candlestick gaps below the previous candle’s body, with no overlap, signaling intense downward pressure and a lack of buy-side liquidity.
This indicator can automatically identify volume imbalances by scanning candlestick patterns and detecting gaps between consecutive candle bodies. These volume imbalances act as price magnets, often attracting the market back to fill the gap before resuming its original direction. Recognizing and leveraging these gaps can be a powerful tool in technical analysis for predicting price movements.

Inversion Fair Value Gap Oscillator | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing the new Inversion Fair Value Gap Oscillator (IFVG Oscillator) indicator! This unique indicator identifies and tracks Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVGs) in price action, presenting them in an oscillator format to reveal market momentum based on IFVG strength. It highlights bullish and bearish IFVGs while enabling traders to adjust detection sensitivity and apply volume and ATR-based filters for more precise setups. For more information about the process, check the "📌 HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
Features of the new IFVG Oscillator:
Fully Customizable FVG & IFVG Detection
An Oscillator Approach To IFVGs
Divergence Markers For Potential Reversals
Alerts For Divergence Labels
Customizable Styling
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK?
Fair Value Gaps are price gaps within bars that indicate inefficiencies, often filled as the market retraces. An Inversion Fair Value Gap is created in the opposite direction once a FVG gets invalidated. The IFVG Oscillator scans historical bars to identify these gaps, then filters them based on ATR or volume. Each IFVG is marked as bullish or bearish according to the opposite direction of the original FVG that got invalidated.
An oscillator is calculated using recent IFVGs with this formula :
1. The Oscillator starts as 0.
2. When a new IFVG Appears, it contributes (IFVG Width / ATR) to the oscillator of the corresponding type.
3. Each confirmed bar, the oscillator is recalculated as OSC = OSC * (1 - Decay Coefficient)
The oscillator aggregates and decays past IFVGs, allowing recent IFVG activity to dominate the signal. This approach emphasizes current market momentum, with oscillations moving bullish or bearish based on IFVG intensity. Divergences are marked where IFVG oscillations suggest potential reversals. Bullish Divergence conditions are as follows :
1. The current candlestick low must be the lowest of last 25 bars.
2. Net Oscillator (Shown in gray line by default) must be > 0.
3. The current Bullish IFVG Oscillator value should be no more than 0.1 below the highest value from the last 25 bars.
Traders can use divergence signals to get an idea of potential reversals, and use the Net IFVG Oscillator as a trend following marker.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
The Inversion Fair Value Gap Oscillator stands out by converting IFVG activity into an oscillator format, providing a momentum-based visualization of IFVGs that reveals market sentiment dynamically. Unlike traditional indicators that statically mark IFVG zones, the oscillator decays older IFVGs over time, showing only the most recent, relevant activity. This approach allows for real-time insight into market conditions and potential reversals based on oscillating IFVG strength, making it both intuitive and powerful for momentum trading.
Another unique feature is the combination of customizable ATR and volume filters, letting traders adapt the indicator to match their strategy and market type. You can also set-up alerts for bullish & bearish divergences.
⚙️ SETTINGS

Customizable Algorithm / Styling
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
A Fair Value Gap generally occur when there is an imbalance in the market. They can be detected by specific formations within the chart. An Inverse Fair Value Gap is when a FVG becomes invalidated, thus reversing the direction of the FVG.
IFVGs get consumed when a Close / Wick enters the IFVG zone. Check this example:
This screener then finds Fair Value Gaps across 5 different tickers, and shows the latest information about them.
Status ->
Far -> The current price is far away from the IFVG.
Approaching ⬆️/⬇️ -> The current price is approaching the IFVG, and the direction it's approaching from.
Inside -> The price is currently inside the IFVG.
Retests -> Retest means the price tried to invalidate the IFVG, but failed to do so. Here you can see how many times the price retested the IFVG.
Consumed -> IFVGs get consumed when a Close / Wick enters the IFVG zone. For example, if the price hits the middle of the IFVG zone, the zone is considered 50% consumed.
Volume -> Volume of a IFVG is essentially the volume of the bar that broke the original FVG that formed it.
🚩UNIQUENESS
This screener can detect latest Inverse Fair Value Gaps and give information about them for up to 5 tickers. This saves the user time by showing them all in a dashboard at the same time. The screener also uniquely shows information about the number of retests and the consumed percent of the IFVG, as well as it's volume.

Overnight Bias: Net Long/Short with PercentOvernight bias can assist with NY session gap fades or gap and go trading once the NY session is open.
Some general gap rules are:
1. Gap Direction Aligned with Overnight Bias
Rule: If the NY session gaps up and the overnight bias is Net Long (e.g., >60% of bars above the overnight open), favor longs.
Confirmation: Look for price to hold above overnight open or VWAP.
Invalidation: If price re-enters the overnight range, reassess.
2. Gap Opposing Overnight Bias (Contrarian Setup)
Rule: If the NY opens opposite the overnight bias, expect potential gap fill or reversal.
Trade Bias: Look for retracement back toward the overnight open or VWAP.
Example: Overnight was Net Long, but NY gaps down → wait for reclaim of VWAP to go long, else fade strength.
3. Gap Into Prior Day Value Area (VAH to VAL)
Rule: If the NY session gaps into the prior day value area:
It implies mean reversion behavior.
Expect price to rotate toward the POC (point of control).
Trade Bias: Fade toward POC if overnight bias is balanced or opposite the gap direction.
4. Gap Outside Prior Day Value Area
Rule: A gap above VAH or below VAL suggests potential breakout or new trend day.
Trade Bias: If overnight bias aligns (e.g., gap above VAH + Net Long overnight), consider trend continuation.
Invalidation: If price breaks back inside the prior day value area, watch for failed breakout → fade trade possible.
5. Gap Above Prior Day High / Below Prior Day Low
Rule: This is a true breakout gap.
Above Prior High + Net Long Bias: Look for continuation.
Below Prior Low + Net Short Bias: Look for sell pressure continuation.
Trade Bias: Use pullbacks to the prior high/low or overnight open for continuation setups.
6. Gap Within Prior Day Range
Rule: If the NY open is within the prior day’s high and low, expect chop or balanced conditions.
Trade Bias: Use overnight VWAP and prior POC as decision zones. Be cautious unless a breakout occurs.
7. Failed Gap and Re-entry into Prior Day Range
Rule: If price gaps above prior high but re-enters the prior range, it's a failed breakout.
Trade Bias: Look for a fade back to VAH or POC.
Confirmation: Watch for breakdown below overnight VWAP or failure to hold overnight open.
8. Gap + Overnight VWAP Divergence
Rule: If price gaps opposite the direction of VWAP (e.g., VWAP rising, gap down), wait for confirmation.
Trade Bias: Be cautious with early trades. Bias may flip if VWAP is reclaimed.
9. Gap + Overnight Open Test
Rule: If price opens with a gap and then retests the overnight open, that level becomes a decision zone.
Trade Bias:
Hold above = trend continuation.
Rejection = gap fill or reversal.
10. Unfilled Gap = Trend Bias
Rule: If the gap remains unfilled for the first 30–60 minutes, it increases the odds of a trend day.
Trade Bias: Trade pullbacks in the direction of the gap and overnight bias.

It aims to assist traders in identifying potential areas of interest based on price action, swing structures, and volume dynamics across multiple timeframes. This indicator is fully customizable, allowing users to adjust lookback periods, colors, opacity, and sensitivity to suit their trading style.
Key Components and Functionality
1. Key Levels (Support and Resistance)
This section plots horizontal lines representing support and resistance levels based on highs and lows over three distinct lookback periods, plus daily nearest levels.
Short-Term Lookback Period (Default: 20 bars)
Plots the highest high (short_high) and lowest low (short_low) over the specified period.
Visualized as dotted lines with customizable colors (Short-Term Resistance Color, Short-Term Support Color) and opacity (Short-Term Resistance Opacity, Short-Term Support Opacity).
Adjustment Tip: Increase the lookback (e.g., to 30-50) for less frequent but stronger levels on higher timeframes, or decrease (e.g., to 10-15) for scalping on lower timeframes.
Long-Term Lookback Period (Default: 50 bars)
Plots broader support (long_low) and resistance (long_high) levels using a solid line style.
Customizable via Long-Term Resistance Color, Long-Term Support Color, and their respective opacity settings.
Adjustment Tip: Extend to 100-200 bars for swing trading or major trend analysis on daily/weekly charts.
Extra-Long Lookback Period (Default: 100 bars)
Identifies significant historical highs (extra_long_high) and lows (extra_long_low) with dashed lines.
Configurable with Extra-Long Resistance Color, Extra-Long Support Color, and opacity settings.
Adjustment Tip: Use 200-500 bars for monthly charts to capture macro-level key zones.
Daily Nearest Resistance and Support Levels
Dynamically calculates the nearest resistance (daily_res_level) and support (daily_sup_level) based on the current day’s price action relative to historical highs and lows.
Displayed with Daily Resistance Color and Daily Support Color (with opacity options).
Adjustment Tip: Works best on intraday charts (e.g., 15m, 1h) to track daily pivots; combine with volume profile for confirmation.
How It Works: These levels update dynamically as new highs/lows form, providing a visual guide to potential reversal or breakout zones.
2. SMC Inputs (Smart Money Concepts)
This section identifies swing structures, order blocks, fair value gaps, and entry signals based on SMC principles.
SMC Swing Lookback Period (Default: 12 bars)
Defines the period for detecting swing highs (smc_swing_high) and lows (smc_swing_low).
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 20-30 for smoother swings on higher timeframes; reduce to 5-10 for faster signals on lower timeframes.
Minimum Swing Size (%) (Default: 0.5%)
Filters out minor price movements to focus on significant swings.
Adjustment Tip: Raise to 1-2% for volatile markets (e.g., crypto) to avoid noise; lower to 0.2-0.3% for forex pairs with tight ranges.
Order Block Sensitivity (Default: 1.0)
Scales the size of detected order blocks (OBs) for bullish reversal (smc_ob_bull), bearish reversal (smc_ob_bear), and continuation (smc_cont_ob).
Visuals include customizable colors, opacity, border thickness, and blinking effects (e.g., SMC Bullish Reversal OB Color, SMC Bearish Reversal OB Blink Thickness).
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 1.5-2.0 for wider OBs in choppy markets; keep at 1.0 for precision in trending conditions.
Minimum FVG Size (%) (Default: 0.3%)
Sets the minimum gap size for Fair Value Gaps (fvg_high, fvg_low), displayed as boxes with Fair Value Gap Color and FVG Opacity.
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 0.5-1% for larger, more reliable gaps; decrease to 0.1-0.2% for scalping smaller inefficiencies.
How It Works:
Bullish Reversal OB: Detects a bearish candle followed by a bullish break, marking a potential demand zone.
Bearish Reversal OB: Identifies a bullish candle followed by a bearish break, marking a supply zone.
Continuation OB: Spots strong bullish momentum after a prior high, indicating a continuation zone.
FVG: Highlights bullish gaps where price may retrace to fill.
Entry Signals: Plots triangles (SMC Long Entry) when price retests an OB with a liquidity sweep or break of structure (BOS).
3. Trap Inputs
This section detects potential bull and bear traps based on price action, volume, and key level rejections.
Min Down Move for Bear Trap (%) (Default: 1.0%)
Sets the minimum drop required after a bearish OB to qualify as a trap.
Visualized with Bear Trap Color, Bear Trap Opacity, and blinking borders.
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 2-3% for stronger traps in trending markets; lower to 0.5% for ranging conditions.
Min Up Move for Bull Trap (%) (Default: 1.0%)
Sets the minimum rise required after a bullish OB to flag a trap.
Customizable with Bull Trap Color, Bull Trap Border Thickness, etc.
Adjustment Tip: Adjust similarly to bear traps based on market volatility.
Volume Lookback for Traps (Default: 5 bars)
Compares current volume to a moving average (avg_volume) to filter low-volume traps.
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 10-20 for confirmation on higher timeframes; reduce to 3 for intraday sensitivity.
How It Works:
Bear Trap: Triggers when price drops significantly after a bearish OB but reverses up with low volume or support rejection.
Bull Trap: Activates when price rises after a bullish OB but fails with low volume or resistance rejection.
Boxes highlight trap zones, resetting when price breaks out.
4. Visual Customization
Line Width (Default: 2)
Adjusts thickness of support/resistance lines.
Tip: Increase to 3-4 for visibility on cluttered charts.
Blink On (Default: Close)
Sets whether OB/FVG borders blink based on Open or Close price interaction.
Tip: Use "Open" for intraday precision; "Close" for confirmed reactions.
Colors and Opacity: Each element (OBs, FVGs, traps, key levels) has customizable colors, opacity (0-100), border thickness (1-5 or 1-7), and blink effects for dynamic visualization.
How to Use SMC+
Setup: Apply the indicator to any chart and adjust inputs based on your timeframe and market.
Key Levels: Watch for price reactions at short, long, extra-long, or daily levels for potential reversals or breakouts.
SMC Signals: Look for entry signals (triangles) near OBs or FVGs, confirmed by liquidity sweeps or BOS.
Traps: Avoid false breakouts by monitoring trap boxes, especially near key levels with low volume.
Notes:
This indicator is a visual aid and does not guarantee trading success. Combine it with other analysis tools and risk management strategies.
Performance may vary across markets and timeframes; test settings thoroughly before use.
For optimal results, experiment with lookback periods and sensitivity settings to match your trading style.
The default settings are optimal for 1 minute and 10 second time frames for small cap low float stocks.
Continuation OB are Blue.
Bullish Reversal OB color is Green
Bearish Reversal OB color is Red
FVG color is purple
Bear Trap OB is red with a green border and often appears with a Bearish Reversal OB signaling caution to a short position.
Bull trap OB is green with a Red border signaling caution to a long position.
All active OB area are highlighted and solid in color while other non active OB area are dimmed.
My personal favorite setups are when we have an active bullish reversal with an active FVG along with an active Continuation OB.
Another personal favorite is the Bearish reversal OB signaling an end to a recent uptrend.
The Trap OB detection are also a unique and Original helpful source of information.
The OB have a white boarder by default that are colored black giving a simulated blinking effect when price is acting in that zone.
The Trap OB border are colored with respect to direction of intended trap, all of which can be customized to personal style.
All vaild OB zones are shown compact in size ,a unique and original view until its no longer valid.

Fair Value Gap Oscillator | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing the new Fair Value Gap Oscillator (FVG Oscillator) indicator! This unique indicator identifies and tracks Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) in price action, presenting them in an oscillator format to reveal market momentum based on FVG strength. It highlights bullish and bearish FVGs while enabling traders to adjust detection sensitivity and apply volume and ATR-based filters for more precise setups. For more information about the process, check the "📌 HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
Features of the new FVG Oscillator:
Fully Customizable FVG Detection
An Oscillator Approach To FVGs
Divergence Markers For Potential Reversals
Alerts For Divergence Labels
Customizable Styling
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK?
Fair Value Gaps are price gaps within bars that indicate inefficiencies, often filled as the market retraces. The FVG Oscillator scans historical bars to identify these gaps, then filters them based on ATR or volume. Each FVG is marked as bullish or bearish according to the trend direction that preceded its formation.
An oscillator is calculated using recent FVGs with this formula :
1. The Oscillator starts as 0.
2. When a new FVG Appears, it contributes (FVG Width / ATR) to the oscillator of the corresponding type.
3. Each confirmed bar, the oscillator is recalculated as OSC = OSC * (1 - Decay Coefficient)
The oscillator aggregates and decays past FVGs, allowing recent FVG activity to dominate the signal. This approach emphasizes current market momentum, with oscillations moving bullish or bearish based on FVG intensity. Divergences are marked where FVG oscillations suggest potential reversals. Bullish Divergence conditions are as follows :
1. The current candlestick low must be the lowest of last 25 bars.
2. Net Oscillator (Shown in gray line by default) must be > 0.
3. The current Bullish FVG Oscillator value should be no more than 0.1 below the highest value from the last 25 bars.
Traders can use divergence signals to get an idea of potential reversals, and use the Net FVG Oscillator as a trend following marker.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
The Fair Value Gap Oscillator stands out by converting FVG activity into an oscillator format, providing a momentum-based visualization of FVGs that reveals market sentiment dynamically. Unlike traditional indicators that statically mark FVG zones, the oscillator decays older FVGs over time, showing only the most recent, relevant activity. This approach allows for real-time insight into market conditions and potential reversals based on oscillating FVG strength, making it both intuitive and powerful for momentum trading.
Another unique feature is the combination of customizable ATR and volume filters, letting traders adapt the indicator to match their strategy and market type. You can also set-up alerts for bullish & bearish divergences.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Decay Coefficient -> The decay coefficient for oscillators. Increasing this setting will result in oscillators giving the weight to recent FVGs, while decreasing it will distribute the weight equally to the past and recent FVGs.
2. Fair Value Gaps
Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for FVG Zone Invalidation.
Zone Filtering -> With "Average Range" selected, algorithm will find FVG zones in comparison with average range of last bars in the chart. With the "Volume Threshold" option, you may select a Volume Threshold % to spot FVGs with a larger total volume than average.
FVG Detection -> With the "Same Type" option, all 3 bars that formed the FVG should be the same type. (Bullish / Bearish). If the "All" option is selected, bar types may vary between Bullish / Bearish.
Detection Sensitivity -> You may select between Low, Normal or High FVG detection sensitivity. This will essentially determine the size of the spotted FVGs, with lower sensitivies resulting in spotting bigger FVGs, and higher sensitivies resulting in spotting all sizes of FVGs.
3. Style
Divergence Labels On -> You can switch divergence labels to show up on the chart or the oscillator plot.
Cumulative Volume Delta Strategy | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing the Cumulative Volume Delta Strategy (CVDS) Indicator, an advanced tool designed to enhance trading strategies by identifying potential trend reversals through volume dynamics. This script features integrated order block detection, Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), and a dynamic take-profit (TP) and stop-loss (SL) system. For an in-depth understanding of the strategy, refer to the "HOW DOES IT WORK?" section below.
Features of the new Cumulative Volume Delta Strategy (CVDS) Indicator :
Cumulative Volume Delta-based Strategy
Order Block and Fair Value Gap (FVG) Entry Methods
Dynamic TP/SL System
Customizable Risk Management Settings
Alerts for Buy, Sell, TP, and SL Signals
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The CVDS indicator operates by tracking the net volume difference between buyers and sellers to identify divergences that could indicate potential trend reversals. A cumulative volume delta (CVD) calculation is employed to measure the intensity of these divergences in relation to price movements. The net volume sum is reset every trading day (can be changed from the settings using the anchor period option), and divergences are detected when the cumulative volume crosses the 0-line over or under.
Once a significant divergence is detected, the indicator identifies breakout points, confirmed by either Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) or Order Blocks (OBs). Depending on your chosen entry mode, the indicator will trigger a buy or sell entry when the confirmation signal aligns with the breakout direction. Alerts for Buy, Sell, Take-Profit, and Stop-Loss are available.
Note that the indicator cannot run on 1-minute and 1-second charts, as it needs to get data from a lower timeframe. 1-minutes & 1-second timeframes are the minimum timeframes in their ranges respectively.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
What sets this indicator apart is the combination of volume divergence analysis with advanced price action tools like Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Order Blocks (OBs). The ability to choose between these methods, along with a dynamic TP/SL system that adapts based on volatility, provides flexibility for traders in any market condition. The backtesting dashboard provides metrics about the performance of the indicator. You can use it to tune the settings for best use in the current ticker. The CVD-based strategy ensures that trades are initiated only when meaningful divergences between volume and price occur, filtering out noise and increasing the likelihood of profitable trades.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Anchor Period: Time anchor period used in CVD calculation. This is essentially the period that the volume delta sum will be reset. Lower timeframes may result in more entries at the cost of less reliable results.
Entry Mode: Choose between FVGs or OBs to trigger your entries based on the confirmation signals.
Retracement Requirement: Enable to confirm the entry after a retracement toward the FVG or OB.
2. Fair Value Gaps
FVG Sensitivity: Modify the sensitivity of FVG detection, allowing for more or fewer gaps to be considered valid.
3. Order Blocks (OB)
Swing Length: Define the swing length to identify OB formations. Shorter lengths find smaller OBs, while longer lengths detect larger structures.
4. TP / SL
TP / SL Method:
a) Dynamic: The TP / SL zones will be auto-determined by the algorithm based on the Average True Range (ATR) of the current ticker.
b) Fixed : You can adjust the exact TP / SL ratios from the settings below.
Dynamic Risk: The risk you're willing to take if "Dynamic" TP / SL Method is selected. Higher risk usually means a better winrate at the cost of losing more if the strategy fails. This setting is has a crucial effect on the performance of the indicator, as different tickers may have different volatility so the indicator may have increased performance when this setting is correctly adjusted.
ICT Balance Price Range [UAlgo]The "ICT Balance Price Range " indicator identifies and visualizes potential balance price ranges (BPRs) on a price chart. These ranges are indicative of periods where the market exhibits balance between bullish and bearish forces, often preceding significant price movements.
🔶 What is Balanced Price Range (BPR) ?
Balanced Price Range is a concept based on Fair Value Gap. Balanced price range (BPR) is the area on price chart where two opposite fair value gaps overlap.
When price approaches the Balanced Price Range (BPR), we assume that the price will react quickly and strongly here. This is because its the combination of two fair value gaps and being a good point of interest for smart money traders.
🔶 Key Features:
Bars to Consider: Determines the number of bars to evaluate for BPR conditions.
Threshold for BPR: Sets the minimum range required for a valid BPR to be identified.
Remove Old BPR: Option to automatically remove invalidated BPRs from the chart.
Bearish/Bullish Box Color: Customizable colors for visual representation of bearish and bullish BPRs.
