In the world of Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and ICT, price imbalances are the "fingerprints" of big institutional players. When the market moves too fast, it leaves behind a Fair Value Gap (FVG)—a zone of inefficiency that the price almost always returns to "fill" or retest.

The FVG & Imbalance Detector for cTrader is a high-performance tool designed to spot these inefficiencies automatically. No more manual drawing—get clear, actionable zones directly on your chart.

Why this indicator is a must-have:

• 🚀 Spot Institutional Moves: See where big banks and hedge funds have entered the market with massive volume.
• 🎯 High-Probability Zones: Use identified imbalances as magnetic targets for take-profits or as "Golden Zones" for precision entries.
• 📈 Clean Visualization: High-quality rectangular overlays that make trend analysis effortless.
• 🔧 Fully Flexible: Unlike basic indicators, this version allows you to extend zones into the future or adjust their starting points to match your specific strategy.

Exclusive Features:

• Smart Detection Logic: Advanced algorithm identifies both Top (Bearish) and Bottom (Bullish) inefficiencies with pixel-perfect accuracy.
• Bi-Directional Offsets: Exclusive "Start" and "End" offset parameters allow you to project zones forward or backward to see how historical gaps align with current price action.
• Professional Color UI: Choose your preferred style via a clean dropdown menu (Yellow, Aqua, Red, etc.)—no more typing hex codes!
• Opacity Control: Adjust the transparency so the zones don't clutter your view of the price action.
• Optimized Performance: Lightweight code that won't slow down your cTrader platform, even on multiple charts.

How to use it:

1. Identify the Gap: The indicator draws a box where an imbalance occurs between the high of the first candle and the low of the third.
2. Wait for the Retest: Watch for the price to return to these boxes.
3. Execute: Look for rejection patterns within the FVG zone for low-risk, high-reward entries.
