Description
Fair Value Gap (FVG) Suite is a professional-grade Fair Value Gap (FVG) indicator built specifically for ICT and Smart Money Concepts (SMC) traders. It goes beyond standard FVG detection by introducing Breakaway Gap (BAG)classification - a distinction no other FVG indicator on the cTrader store offers.
A Fair Value Gap forms when three consecutive candles leave an unfilled price imbalance. A Breakaway Gap is a stronger variant where the third candle closes beyond the range of the middle candle, signaling increased momentum and conviction behind the move. Fair Value Gap (FVG) Suite identifies and color-codes both, giving you instant visual clarity on the strength of every gap.
Built to work cleanly across all asset classes - forex, indices, commodities, equities, and 24/7 instruments like crypto - the indicator handles session breaks, weekend gaps, and different timeframes automatically with no manual configuration required.
Whether you are a seasoned ICT trader hunting high-probability entry zones or a beginner learning to read price action through the lens of Smart Money, Fair Value Gap (FVG) Suite gives you the tools to do it with precision.
Key Features
Gap Detection
- Detects bullish and bearish Fair Value Gaps using the standard 3-candle pattern
- Classifies gaps as FVG or Breakaway Gap (BAG) based on candle 3 closing beyond candle 2's range
- FVG vs BAG distinction can be toggled on or off - when off, all gaps are displayed uniformly
- Automatically filters weekend session gaps and Friday last-candle gaps on instruments that do not trade on weekends, keeping the chart clean and relevant
Gap Size Filter
- ATR-based minimum gap size filter removes insignificant micro-gaps
- Fully adaptive to current market volatility - no manual pip threshold required
- Configurable ATR period and minimum gap percentage
Extension Options
- Fixed bar extension - gaps extend a configurable number of real trading bars
- Extend Until Filled - gaps extend dynamically until price first enters the zone, then freeze at the point of contact
- Weekend gaps are skipped when counting extension bars so the length is always accurate
Mitigation Tracking
- Three mitigation modes: None (gaps persist), Mark as Mitigated (gaps turn grey when filled), Auto Remove (gaps disappear when filled)
- Three fill conditions: Wick Touch, Close Inside, Close Through - choose the definition that matches your trading style
- Mitigated gaps are tracked historically so the chart reflects accurate fill status on load
Visual Customization
- Separate configurable colors for bullish FVG, bearish FVG, bullish BAG, and bearish BAG
- Toggle shaded gap zones on or off with configurable opacity
- Line style dropdown: Solid or Dotted
- Configurable line thickness
Compatibility
- Works on all timeframes from 1 minute to monthly
- Compatible with all cTrader instruments including forex, indices, commodities, equities, and crypto
- No repainting

Always use appropriate risk management.
Summary
Compatible with all asset classes—including forex, indices, commodities, equities, and cryptocurrencies—and all timeframes from 1 minute to monthly, the suite automatically manages session breaks and weekend gaps without manual setup. It features an ATR-based adaptive filter to exclude insignificant gaps based on current market volatility.
Users can customize gap extensions either by a fixed number of bars or dynamically until the gap is filled by price action. Mitigation tracking offers three modes to mark or remove filled gaps, with configurable fill conditions such as wick touch or close inside the gap zone. Visual settings allow adjustment of colors, opacity, line style, and thickness.
The indicator provides non-repainting signals and supports multi-asset, multi-timeframe analysis to assist traders in identifying high-probability entry zones and understanding price imbalances across markets.
