Fair Value Gap Stategy with Signals— Smart FVG Zone Engine
Fair Value Gap Stategy with Signalsis a clean on-chart indicator that automatically detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), visually highlights them, and optionally displays fill signals when a gap has been completed.
It is designed for traders who want to quickly identify inefficiencies in price action and instantly see where the market may return to rebalance an unfinished move.
Instead of manually scanning candles, Fair Value Gap Stategy with Signals automatically projects clear FVG zones directly on the chart, including:
- bullish fair value gaps
- bearish fair value gaps
- active gap zones
- filled zones
- optional fill signals
- extended forward projection of each zone
This makes the indicator especially useful for traders who work with price action, market inefficiencies, mean reversion, or smart money concepts.
This is not just a visual marker — it is a practical FVG mapping engine built for direct chart interpretation.
How the Indicator Works
The indicator scans for sequences of candles that all close bullish or bearish, based on the selected candle count.
When this structure creates a valid gap, the indicator automatically draws a colored zone on the chart.
Bullish FVG Zone
A bullish gap is formed when a sequence of bullish candles leaves an inefficiency between earlier and later price levels.
That zone is then projected forward on the chart until price returns and fills it.
Bearish FVG Zone
A bearish gap is formed when a sequence of bearish candles creates a downward inefficiency.
This zone also remains visible as long as it is still active and has not yet been fully filled.
Built-in Fill Logic
Once price returns into an active FVG zone and the zone is filled according to the indicator logic, it is automatically treated as completed.
That means:
- the active zone stops extending
- the final completed zone remains visible
- an optional fill signal can appear on the chart
This helps traders quickly identify when an inefficiency has been resolved and when a possible reaction or continuation may follow.
Optional Fill Signals
When Show Fill Signals is enabled, the indicator automatically places a signal when a Fair Value Gap is filled.
For bullish zones
When a bullish FVG is filled, a down arrow appears above the candle.
For bearish zones
When a bearish FVG is filled, an up arrow appears below the candle.
These signals can be used as additional visual confirmation for:
- reaction trades
- reversal monitoring
- completion entries
- post-fill continuation analysis
