Description
Fair Value Gap (FVG) Indicator
Overview
The Fair Value Gap (FVG) Indicator identifies inefficiencies in price action where an imbalance occurs due to aggressive buying or selling. These gaps are often created by institutional traders and smart money, leaving areas where price may later return to "fill" the imbalance before continuing its trend.
Key Features:
- Automatic Detection of FVGs – The indicator highlights fair value gaps across different timeframes.
- Multi-Timeframe Support – View FVGs from higher timeframes on lower timeframe charts.
How It Works:
- The indicator scans price movements and detects gaps where a candle’s high does not overlap with the low of two candles ahead (bullish FVG) or vice versa (bearish FVG).
- These areas are marked as potential liquidity zones where price may revisit before continuing in the dominant trend.
- The indicator assists traders in recognizing smart money footprints, combining FVG with BOS, CHoCH, and Order Blocks.
How to Trade Using FVGs:
- Entry Strategy: Wait for price to return and react to the FVG zone (rejection, support, or resistance).
- Confluence Trading: Combine with BOS, Order Blocks, and Liquidity Sweeps for higher accuracy.
- Take Profit Targets: Consider the next liquidity pool or major structure level.
Who Should Use This Indicator?
- Smart Money & ICT Traders
- Price Action & Institutional Traders
- Scalpers & Swing Traders
Summary
AI summary
The Fair Value Gap (FVG) Indicator detects price action inefficiencies caused by aggressive buying or selling, often linked to institutional traders. It automatically identifies fair value gaps—areas where a candle’s high does not overlap with the low of two candles ahead (bullish FVG) or vice versa (bearish FVG)—across multiple timeframes, allowing users to view higher timeframe gaps on lower timeframe charts. These gaps represent potential liquidity zones where price may revisit before continuing its trend. The indicator helps traders recognize smart money footprints by combining FVG analysis with Break of Structure (BOS), Change of Character (CHoCH), and Order Blocks. Trading strategies using this indicator involve waiting for price reactions at FVG zones for entry, using confluence with other smart money concepts for accuracy, and targeting subsequent liquidity pools or major structure levels for take profit. It is suitable for smart money, ICT, price action, institutional traders, scalpers, and swing traders operating in markets including Forex, Crypto, and indices such as BTCUSD, EURUSD, XAUUSD, and NAS100.

A clean and accurate Fair Value Gap detector. Highlights bullish/bearish FVGs with minimal lag and great clarity. Useful for intraday and swing ICT/SMC setups. Can get busy on lower TFs, but filtering helps. Alerts, MTF mode and FVG state tracking would take it to the next level.
