ICT First Presented FVG is a specialized trading indicator based on Inner Circle Trader (ICT) theory, designed to identify the first Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms immediately after the 9:30 AM New York Stock Exchange open. This initial gap is considered a key institutional footprint indicating the morning session’s directional bias.
Key features include automated detection of the first valid imbalance after the market opens, eliminating the need for manual scanning of short-term charts. The indicator visually highlights this gap with an extended box projecting forward to the current price, allowing traders to monitor if and when the gap is retested or filled during the day. Users can customize the visual style with solid blocks or lines and adjust colors to match their chart templates. Additionally, date labels track past occurrences to analyze how often the 9:30 AM FVG acts as support or resistance.
The indicator supports markets including Forex, indices, commodities, stocks, and cryptocurrencies such as BTCUSD and EURUSD. It is intended to be used alongside higher timeframe trend analysis and price action context to improve trade decision-making, particularly by observing patterns like the "Judas Swing" and the behavior of price around the FVG fill level.
