SP2L Pour Samadi Indicator [TradingFinder] Spike 2 Legs PA🔵 Introduction
The SP2L (Spike–2Leg) strategy, designed by Mohammad Ali Poursamadi, an international Iranian trader, is a simple yet powerful price action setup developed to identify precise entry points following sharp market movements.
A Spike refers to a sudden and rapid move in the market, usually triggered by a heavy flow of orders in one direction. This sharp movement creates an Imbalance between buyers and sellers. Since the market does not have time to trade evenly during such moves, it generates Inefficiency on the chart.
The direct result of a spike is usually the formation of a Fair Value Gap (FVG) — a space between candles indicating that trades were not distributed fairly. In simple terms, the spike is the cause, while Imbalance, Inefficiency, and FVG are its consequences.
🟣 How is a Spike formed?
Big Movement : A spike begins with a sharp and powerful move caused by heavy order flow in one direction.
Imbalance : This move disrupts the balance between buyers and sellers.
Inefficiency : Due to the speed of the move, the market fails to trade efficiently, leaving inefficiency on the chart.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) : The final outcome is a price gap between candles, highlighting unfair distribution of trades.
In SP2L, entries occur right after a spike. The entry logic is based on the structure of each candle’s Higher Lows (HLs) or Lower Highs (LHs).
When a spike occurs and candles consecutively form higher lows or lower highs :
In bullish conditions, each previous low becomes a potential Buy Entry.
In bearish conditions, each previous high becomes a potential Sell Entry.
🔵 How to Use
In the SP2L strategy, entries occur directly within the ongoing strong movement (the spike). A spike forms when heavy order flow pushes the market strongly in one direction, creating several large candles in sequence. This disrupts balance and leaves patterns such as Imbalance and FVG on the chart.
During such moves, the market does not necessarily retrace; instead, it continues strongly in the direction of the spike. The key principle in SP2L is that candles begin forming Higher Lows (HLs) in a bullish spike or Lower Highs (LHs) in a bearish spike. Each HL or LH acts as a potential entry level, but the actual entry only triggers once price returns to retest that level. This allows the trader to enter within a powerful wave while keeping stop-losses clear and risk controlled.
🟣 Bullish SP2L
When a bullish spike occurs, candles consecutively form Higher Lows. Each HL marks a potential entry. The entry is activated when price returns to that HL.
Stop-Loss (SL) : Placed below the candle where the spike originated, usually the lowest point before the sharp move.
Take-Profit (TP) : Defined based on classic risk-to-reward ratios, commonly TP1 = 1:1 and TP2 = 1:2. Stronger trends may allow extended targets.
🟣 Bearish SP2L
When a bearish spike occurs, candles consecutively form Lower Highs. Each LH marks a potential sell entry. The entry is triggered when price returns to retest that LH.
Stop-Loss (SL) : Placed above the candle where the bearish spike started, usually the highest point before the sharp drop.
Take-Profit (TP) : Similar to bullish setups, typically TP1 = 1:1 and TP2 = 1:2, with extended targets possible if bearish momentum continues.
🔵 Settings
🟣 Spike Filter | Movement
Minimum Spike Bars : Defines the minimum number of consecutive candles required for a valid spike.
Movement Power : Enables or disables the momentum-based spike filter.
Movement Power Level : Sets the strength threshold; higher values filter out weaker moves and only detect strong spikes.
🟣 Spike Filter | Gap
Gap Filter : Enables or disables the gap filter.
Gap Type : Selects which type of gap should be detected (All Gaps, Significant, Structural, Major).
🟣 Spike Filter | Doji
Doji Tolerance : Defines whether doji candles are allowed within a spike.
Max Doji Body Ratio : Maximum ratio of body-to-total candle size for classifying a candle as a doji.
Max Doji in Spike Ratio : Maximum percentage of doji candles allowed within a spike.
🟣 Trend Detection
Trend Detection : Enables or disables the trend detection module using dojis.
Max Doji Body Ratio : Maximum body-to-candle ratio used to classify a doji in trend calculations.
Candle Lookback : Number of candles used to calculate doji percentage for trend evaluation.
Max Doji in Trend Ratio : Maximum percentage of doji candles allowed within the lookback window for the trend to be valid.
🟣 Position Management
Stop-Loss Threshold : Enables or disables the stop-loss threshold feature.
Stop-Loss Threshold Value : Defines the value of the stop-loss threshold for risk management.
Risk-Reward Ratio : Sets the desired risk-to-reward ratio (e.g., 1:1 or 1:2).
Include SL Threshold in R:R : Determines whether the stop-loss threshold is included in risk-to-reward calculations.
🟣 Display Settings
Display Mode : Chooses between Setup (showing setups) or Signal (showing trade signals).
Only Display the Last Position : Displays only the most recent position on the chart when enabled.
🔵 Conclusion
The SP2L (Spike–2Leg) strategy, designed by Mohammad Ali Poursamadi, offers a simple yet effective framework for trading strong market flows. Built on the logic of spikes and candle structures (HLs and LHs), it identifies precise entry points directly within the main movement of the market, where risk is clear and reward is logical.
With transparent rules, defined stop-loss placement, and flexible risk management, SP2L proves especially effective in volatile markets such as forex, gold, and indices. Its simplicity makes it practical for both beginner traders and seasoned professionals.
In summary, SP2L helps traders avoid unnecessary complexity by focusing on spikes and consecutive HL/LH formations to capture accurate, low-risk entries.
ICT Trading by JaeheeSUMMARY
• This script consolidates widely used ICT concepts into a single, coherent toolkit that emphasizes structural clarity over chart clutter.
• It renders Market Structure (BOS/CHoCH), significant Order Blocks (OB), Fair Value Gaps (FVG) with size filtering, BSL/SSL liquidity lines with optional sweep pruning, and Killzone session start markers.
• For analysis/education only. It does not provide investment advice or imply performance/returns.
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
• Integrated coverage of core ICT elements in one script (Structure, OB, FVG, BSL/SSL, Killzone).
• Quality gating so only “meaningful” zones/gaps remain (ATR/percent/tick thresholds, leg displacement, optional volume filter).
• Liquidity line maintenance: BSL/SSL can be automatically pruned after a defined sweep so attention stays on current liquidity.
• Visual minimalism: compact labels inside boxes; no background shading by default, keeping the chart readable.
• One-click contrast: a “Force Black” toggle switches all labels/lines to black for maximum legibility.
• Component-level ON/OFF controls (FVG / OB / BSL-SSL / Killzone) to tailor visibility to your workflow.
• OB de-duplication policy prevents overlapping clutter (keep-older-and-extend-right / keep-older / replace-with-new).
COMPONENTS & LOGIC (CONCISE)
• Market Structure (BOS/CHoCH)
◦ External swings via fractal pivots.
◦ BOS confirmation = close beyond the recent swing by k·ATR + a minimum real-body (first bar).
◦ Regime-aware labeling distinguishes BOS vs CHoCH.
• Order Blocks (strict ICT with significance)
◦ Demand OB: last down candle before a qualifying upside break; Supply OB: last up candle before a qualifying downside break.
◦ Filters enforce candle body, zone thickness, leg displacement (ATR-based), optional volume.
◦ Mitigation handling: Keep / Delete / Shrink (partial fills shrink the zone until invalidation).
• Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
◦ Standard 3-candle definition.
◦ Valid only when gap height ≥ max(percent threshold, ATR-based threshold, tick threshold) → trivial gaps intentionally removed.
◦ Minimal “FVG” text is centered inside the box.
• BSL / SSL & Sweep Management
◦ Equal highs/lows detected using dual tolerances (ticks + ATR) and a bar-spacing cap.
◦ Optional auto-removal after a sweep (Wick / Close / AnyTouch) so only actionable liquidity remains.
• Killzone Session Starts
◦ Compact vertical tick + label at the first bar of Asia / Europe / New York (no background fill).
INPUTS (MINIMIZED BY DESIGN)
• Visibility toggles: Show FVG / Show Order Blocks / Show BSL-SSL / Show Killzone session starts.
• Contrast toggle: Make all texts & lines BLACK (ON/OFF).
• Most numeric thresholds are internally fixed to discourage over-optimization and preserve consistent behavior.
HOW TO USE — PRACTICAL WORKFLOW
• Frame selection
◦ HTF (bias frame): choose 1H/4H/1D to read structure and map major OB/FVG.
◦ LTF (execution frame): 1–15 minute range; prefer trades aligned with the HTF bias.
• Long scenario (checklist)
◦ Bias: HTF shows a recent upside BOS or down→up CHoCH; price approaches a credible demand OB/FVG.
◦ Liquidity: recent SSL sweep (downside liquidity taken). Swept SSLs may auto-remove if that option is enabled.
◦ Triggers (one or more):
·· Fading back into a demand OB with support (close holds above the OB top).
·· Reclaim of a bullish FVG (close back above lower/mid line).
·· LTF structural shift (mini CHoCH → BOS).
◦ Invalidation/Risk: stop below OB bottom or sweep low, with an ATR buffer.
◦ Management: scale out near local LTF highs or nearest BSL; secondary targets at opposing FVG/supply OB; trail under LTF swing lows or FVG lower boundary.
• Short scenario (checklist)
◦ Bias: HTF shows a downside BOS or up→down CHoCH.
◦ Liquidity: recent BSL sweep (upside liquidity taken).
◦ Triggers (one or more):
·· Rejection from a supply OB after re-entry.
·· Failure/reject at a bearish FVG (upper/mid line).
·· LTF structural shift (mini CHoCH → downside BOS).
◦ Invalidation/Risk: stop above OB top or sweep high, with an ATR buffer.
◦ Management: scale out near local LTF lows or nearest SSL; secondary targets at opposing FVG/demand OB; trail above LTF swing highs or FVG upper boundary.
BSL/SSL TIPS
• Generation uses recent fractal highs/lows with tick/ATR tolerance and a spacing cap to avoid spurious “equal” prints.
• If auto-removal is enabled, swept lines vanish, keeping the view focused on what matters now.
• Confluence after a sweep (e.g., reversal close + OB/FVG nearby) can increase conviction.
ORDER BLOCK TIPS
• Significance filters (body/thickness/leg displacement/optional volume) suppress weak OBs by design.
• De-duplication keeps one meaningful zone when two boxes fully overlap (or extends the older zone to the right, depending on policy).
• Mitigation modes:
◦ Keep — retain the zone for reference even after touch.
◦ Delete — remove on mitigation to keep only fresh levels.
◦ Shrink — reduce boundary toward the fill to reflect partial consumption.
FVG TIPS
• Three-way minimum size (percent / ATR / ticks) must be met; this intentionally removes micro-gaps (e.g., ~0.12%).
• Bullish FVG: reclaim of the lower/mid line with a close may serve as a long trigger in a bullish context.
• Bearish FVG: rejection at the upper/mid line may serve as a short trigger in a bearish context.
• On mitigation (close through), boxes are removed to keep the chart clean.
KILLZONE (SESSION START MARKERS)
• Asia / Europe / New York: a short vertical tick and label at the session’s first bar—no background shading.
• Focus on signals forming soon after the session opens; overlap (e.g., Europe→New York) can increase volatility.
RISK & REAL-TIME CONSIDERATIONS
• Fractal swings confirm after L/R bars, so structure labeling is delayed by definition (and then fixed).
• BOS/CHoCH is validated only on the confirming close (k·ATR beyond the swing with a minimum real-body).
• OB/FVG/BSL-SSL state can change quickly on mitigation/sweep; account for slippage and define re-entry rules ahead of time.
• Always apply independent risk management (position sizing, stops). This is a study/analysis tool only.
READABILITY TIPS
• Use the Force-Black toggle when you want maximum contrast against candles.
• Keep only what you need (e.g., FVG+OB) to avoid visual overload.
• Always re-anchor LTF decisions to HTF zones and structure.
LIMITATIONS & NOTES
• No forward-looking guarantees; filters reduce noise but cannot eliminate false signals.
• Visualizations and thresholds are for study/analysis; not financial advice.
• Invite-Only distribution; access is managed via TradingView’s invitation system. No external links or promotions are included.
Volumatic Fair Value Gaps [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Volumatic Fair Value Gaps indicator detects and plots size-filtered Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and immediately analyzes the bullish vs. bearish volume composition inside each gap. When an FVG forms, the tool samples volume from a 10× lower timeframe , splits it into Buy and Sell components, and overlays two compact bars whose percentages always sum to 100%. Each gap also shows its total traded volume . A live dashboard (top-right) summarizes how many bullish and bearish FVGs are currently active and their cumulative volumes—offering a quick read on directional participation and trend pressure.
🔵 CONCEPTS
FVGs (Fair Value Gaps) : Imbalance zones between three consecutive candles where price “skips” trading. The script plots bullish and bearish gaps and extends them until mitigated.
Size Filtering : Only significant gaps (by relative size percentile) are drawn, reducing noise and emphasizing meaningful imbalances.
// Gap Filters
float diff = close > open ? (low - high ) / low * 100 : (low - high) / high *100
float sizeFVG = diff / ta.percentile_nearest_rank(diff, 1000, 100) * 100
bool filterFVG = sizeFVG > 15
Volume Decomposition : For each FVG, the indicator inspects a 10× lower timeframe and aggregates volume of bullish vs. bearish candles inside the gap’s span.
100% Split Bars : Two inline bars per FVG display the % Bull and % Bear shares; their total is always 100%.
Total Gap Volume : A numeric label at the right edge of the FVG shows the total traded volume associated with that gap.
Mitigation Logic : Gaps are removed when price closes through (or touches via high/low—user-selectable) the opposite boundary.
Dashboard Summary : Counts and sums the active bullish/bearish FVGs and their total volumes to gauge directional dominance.
🔵 FEATURES
Bullish & Bearish FVG plotting with independent color controls and visibility toggles.
Adaptive size filter (percentile-based) to keep only impactful gaps.
Lower-TF volume sampling at 10× faster resolution for more granular Buy/Sell breakdown.
Per-FVG volume bars : two horizontal bars showing Bull % and Bear % (sum = 100%).
Per-FVG total volume label displayed at the right end of the gap’s body.
Mitigation source option : choose close or high/low for removing/invalidating gaps.
Overlap control : older overlapped gaps are cleaned to avoid clutter.
Auto-extension : active gaps extend right until mitigated.
Dashboard : shows count of bullish/bearish gaps on chart and cumulative volume totals for each side.
Performance safeguards : caps the number of active FVG boxes to maintain responsiveness.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Turn on/off FVG types : Enable Bullish FVG and/or Bearish FVG depending on your focus.
Tune the filter : The script already filters by relative size; if you need fewer (stronger) signals, increase the percentile threshold in code or reduce the number of displayed boxes.
Choose mitigation source :
close — stricter; gap is removed when a closing price crosses the boundary.
high/low — more sensitive; a wick through the boundary mitigates the gap.
Read the per-FVG bars :
A higher Bull % inside a bullish gap suggests constructive demand backing the imbalance.
A higher Bear % inside a bearish gap suggests supply is enforcing the imbalance.
Use total gap volume : Larger totals imply more meaningful interest at that imbalance; confluence with structure/HTF levels increases relevance.
Watch the dashboard : If bullish counts and cumulative volume exceed bearish, market pressure is likely skewed upward (and vice versa). Combine with trend tools or market structure for entries/exits.
Optional: hide volume bars : Disable Volume Bars when you want a cleaner FVG map while keeping total volume labels and the dashboard.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Volumatic Fair Value Gaps blends precise FVG detection with lower-timeframe volume analytics to show not only where imbalances exist but also who powers them. The per-gap Bull/Bear % bars, total volume labels, and the cumulative dashboard together provide a fast, high-signal read on directional participation. Use the tool to prioritize higher-quality gaps, align with trend bias, and time mitigations or continuations with greater confidence.
Silent Trigger Silent Trigger combines widely used concepts under one scoring engine. Each module adds weight only when its conditions are met:
1. Higher-Timeframe (HTF) context
• Requests 1H and the next HTF up (e.g., 4H/D) with request.security(...) on confirmed bars only.
• Uses RSI(14) and a MACD line (EMA12–EMA26 difference) for bias.
• By default HTF weights the score. There is an option to require HTF alignment if you prefer a hard filter.
2. Market regime
• ADX for trend strength.
• Bollinger Band width and a fractal-energy proxy to detect squeeze/coiling vs expansion.
3. Smart-money / Wyckoff structure
• High-volume narrow bars, absorption, spring/upthrust, and liquidity grabs past recent swing highs/lows.
4. Momentum & divergences
• RSI and MACD-line divergences (regular + hidden) and simple exhaustion checks.
5. Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
• 3-bar gap with mid-gap revisit confirmation.
6. Volume context
• Relative volume and a compact 10-bin rolling volume profile to locate HVN proximity.
7. Sessions / time filter
• Optional London/NY “kill zone” participation filter.
8. Correlation (optional)
• Simple BTC trend check for USD-quoted markets.
Pre-Move (yellow) logic:
Triggers only when the market is compressed (squeeze/low fractal energy), ADX is rising, the MACD histogram is near zero (pressure building), and there is a money-flow impulse (MFI slope and/or OBV Z-score spike).
The yellow diamond is plotted on the side of the expected move:
• Below for bullish reversals / Above for bullish breakouts.
• Above for bearish reversals / Below for bearish breakouts.
A built-in cooldown keeps yellows from spamming.
⸻
What appears on the chart
• Bull diamond (green): Total score ≥ your threshold and > bear score.
• Bear diamond (magenta): Mirror of the above.
• Pre-move (yellow): Early heads-up; use it with HTF context and structure.
All diamonds are intentionally tiny to minimize clutter.
⸻
Key settings
• Signal Mode & Min Probability – tighten/loosen confirmations.
• Use Higher TF in Scoring – soft weighting (default).
• Require HTF Alignment – optional hard gate.
• Module toggles – Smart Money, Wyckoff, FVG, Correlation, Sessions.
• Pre-Move – enable, cooldown bars, MFI levels, OBV Z-score threshold.
⸻
How to use (practical)
1. Choose a TF that matches your style (5–15m intraday, 1H–4H swing).
2. Read HTF bias first; trade in that direction unless structure clearly supports a reversal.
3. Treat yellow as “get ready.” Act only when a green/magenta prints with structure (S/R, FVG, HVN) and acceptable risk.
4. Place stops beyond the liquidity level or FVG midpoint; size positions conservatively.
⸻
Repainting & HTF policy
• No lookahead is used anywhere.
• request.security is called on confirmed bars; the HTF MACD line is computed inside the HTF context (single series), not by indexing a tuple.
• Signals are designed for bar-close confirmation. Intra-bar alerts can change until the bar closes.
⸻
Limitations (honest)
• Money-flow features depend on volume quality; thin/synthetic volume reduces reliability.
• Pre-moves can fail during unscheduled news shocks or when HTF trend is dominant.
• This is not financial advice. You are responsible for entries, exits, and risk.
⸻
Alerts
Built-in bull/bear alerts include direction and a probability bucket (Basic/Moderate/Strong/Extreme).
Pre-move yellows are primarily visual; you can still set an alert on their plot condition if desired.
⸻
Why this isn’t a “mashup”
• A single probability engine blends HTF bias, structure (liquidity/Wyckoff/FVG), regime, and volume into a score, rather than stacking unrelated indicators.
• A pre-move detector that requires compression + rising trend energy + money-flow impulse, and places the marker on the side of the expected move, with cooldown control.
• A lightweight rolling HVN check to bias continuation vs mean-reversion near key nodes.
⸻
Changelog (summary)
• Current release: pre-move module, HTF hard-gate option, tiny diamonds, clarified HTF/no-repaint policy, session filter tidy-up.
Order Blocks & FVG (Kostya)the indicator is the attempt to visualize the trading opportunities - price magnets and potential reversal zones for intraday and swing trading.
Greer Gap# Greer Gap Indicator (No mitigation: i.e. removing false signals)
## Summary
The **Greer Gap Indicator** identifies **Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)** and introduces specialized **Greer Bull Gaps (Blue)** and **Greer Bear Gaps (Orange)** to highlight high-probability trading opportunities. Unlike traditional FVG indicators, it avoids hindsight bias by not removing historical gaps based on future price action, ensuring transparency in signal accuracy. Built upon LuxAlgo’s FVG logic, it adds unique filtering: only the first Greer Gap after an opposite gap is plotted if its level (min for Bull, max for Bear) is not higher/lower than the previous Greer Gap of the same type, while all valid gaps are recorded for comparison. Traders can use these gaps as support/resistance or entry signals, customizable via timeframe, look back, and display options.
## Description
This indicator detects and displays **Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)** on the chart, with a focus on specialized **Greer Gaps**:
- **Bullish Gaps (Green)**: Areas where the low of the current candle is above the high of a previous candle (look back period), indicating potential upward momentum.
- **Bearish Gaps (Red)**: Areas where the high of the current candle is below the low of a previous candle, indicating potential downward momentum.
- **Greer Bull Gaps (Blue)**: A bullish gap that is above the latest bearish gap's max. Only the first such gap after a bearish gap is plotted if it meets criteria (not higher than the previous Greer Bull Gap's min), but all valid ones are recorded for comparison.
- **Greer Bear Gaps (Orange)**: A bearish gap that is below the latest bullish gap's min. Only the first such gap after a bullish gap is plotted if it meets criteria (not lower than the previous Greer Bear Gap's max), but all valid ones are recorded.
## How It Works
The script uses a dynamic look back period to detect FVGs. It maintains a record of all detected gaps and applies additional logic for Greer Gaps:
- **Greer Bull Gaps**: Checks if the new bullish gap's min is above the latest bearish gap's max. Plots only if it's the first since the last bearish gap and its min is <= previous Greer Bull min (or first one).
- **Greer Bear Gaps**: Checks if the new bearish gap's max is below the latest bullish gap's min. Plots only if it's the first since the last bullish gap and its max is >= previous Greer Bear max (or first one).
- **Resets**: A new bearish gap resets the Greer Bull Gap flag, and a new bullish gap resets the Greer Bear Gap flag.
## How to Use
- **Timeframe**: Set a higher timeframe (e.g., 'D' for daily) to detect gaps from that timeframe on the current chart.
- **Look back Period**: Adjust to change gap detection sensitivity (default: 34). Use 2 if you want to compare to LuxAlgo
- **Extend**: Controls how far right the gap boxes extend.
- **Show Options**: Toggle visibility of all bullish/bearish gaps or Greer Gaps.
- **Colors**: Customize colors for each gap type.
- **Application**: Use Greer Gaps as potential support/resistance levels or entry signals, but combine with other analysis for confirmation.
## Originality and Credits
This script is inspired by and builds upon the **"Fair Value Gap "** indicator by LuxAlgo (available on TradingView: ()).
**Credits**: Thanks to LuxAlgo for the core FVG detection logic.
**Significant Changes**:
- Added **Greer Bull and Bear Gap** logic for filtered, directional gaps with reset mechanisms.
- Introduced recording of all valid Greer Gaps without plotting all, to compare levels without hindsight bias.
- **No mitigation/removal of gaps**: Unlike LuxAlgo's approach, which mitigates (removes or alters) gaps based on future price action (e.g., when filled), this can create a hindsight bias where incorrect signals disappear over time. If a signal is used for a trade and later removed due to new data, it doesn't reflect real-time performance accurately. The Greer Gap avoids this by using gap comparisons to validate signals without altering historical boxes, ensuring transparency in when signals were right or wrong.
ICT FVG Buy/Sell SignalsThis bot is built on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts such as:
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) – imbalance zones between candles.
Consequent Encroachment (CE) – the midpoint of a gap.
Premium / Discount Arrays – dealing ranges split into premium (sell-side) and discount (buy-side) zones.
Displacement candles – strong impulsive moves that confirm intent.
The bot scans for FVGs, marks CE levels, and waits for price to return to these levels.
When price revisits a valid FVG zone with displacement confirmation and in the correct PD array, the bot generates a BUY or SELL signal.
✅ Signal Rules
Buy Signal
Price trades back into a Bullish FVG.
Current bar shows bullish displacement (large bullish body relative to ATR).
Price is in discount territory of the current dealing range (if PD filter is enabled).
Close is above the CE line of the FVG.
Sell Signal
Price trades back into a Bearish FVG.
Current bar shows bearish displacement.
Price is in premium territory of the current dealing range.
Close is below the CE line of the FVG.
🎯 What You’ll See on the Chart
Green “BUY” labels below candles when long signals trigger.
Red “SELL” labels above candles when short signals trigger.
Shaded background:
Red = Premium zone (sell side).
Teal = Discount zone (buy side).
Yellow line = dealing range midpoint (equilibrium).
Dots on CE lines = midpoints of the latest bullish/bearish FVG.

SMC Analysis - Fair Value Gaps (Enhanced)SMC Analysis - Fair Value Gaps (Enhanced) Script Summary
Overview
The "SMC Analysis - Fair Value Gaps (Enhanced)" script, written in Pine Script (version 6), is a technical analysis indicator designed for TradingView to identify and visualize Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on a price chart. It supports both the main timeframe and multiple higher timeframes (MTF) for comprehensive market analysis. FVGs are price gaps formed by a three-candle pattern, indicating potential areas of market inefficiency where price may return to fill the gap.
Key Features
FVG Detection:
Identifies bullish FVGs: Occur when the high of a candle two bars prior is lower than the low of the current candle, with the middle candle being bullish (close > open).
Identifies bearish FVGs: Occur when the low of a candle two bars prior is higher than the high of the current candle, with the middle candle being bearish (close < open).
Visualizes FVGs as colored boxes on the chart (green for bullish, red for bearish).
Mitigation Tracking:
Tracks when FVGs are touched (price overlaps the gap range) or mitigated (price fully closes the gap).
Strict Mode: Marks an FVG as mitigated when price touches the gap range.
Normal Mode: Requires a full breakthrough (price crossing the gap’s bottom for bullish FVGs or top for bearish FVGs) for mitigation.
Optionally converts FVG box borders to dashed lines and increases transparency when partially touched.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Support:
Analyzes FVGs on three user-defined higher timeframes (default: 15m, 60m, 240m).
Displays MTF FVGs with distinct labels and slightly more transparent colors.
Ensures no duplicate processing of MTF bars to maintain performance.
Customization Options:
FVG Length: Adjustable duration for how long FVGs are displayed (default: 20 bars).
Show/Hide FVGs: Toggle visibility for main timeframe and each MTF.
Color Customization: User-defined colors for bullish and bearish FVGs (default: green and red).
Display Options: Toggle for showing dashed lines after partial touches and strict mitigation mode.
Performance Optimization:
Limits the number of displayed boxes (50 for main timeframe, 20 per MTF) to prevent performance issues.
Automatically removes older boxes to maintain a clean chart.
Functionality
Visualization: Draws boxes around detected FVGs, with customizable colors and text labels ("FVG" for main timeframe, "FVG " for MTF).
Dynamic Updates: Extends or terminates FVG boxes based on mitigation status and user settings.
Efficient Storage: Uses arrays to manage FVG data (boxes, tops, bottoms, indices, mitigation status, and touch status) separately for main and MTF analyses.
Use Case
This indicator is designed for traders using Smart Money Concepts (SMC) to identify areas of market inefficiency (FVGs) for potential price reversals or continuations. The MTF support allows analysis across different timeframes, aiding in confirming trends or spotting higher-timeframe support/resistance zones.
Balanced Price Range (BPR) DetectorBALANCED PRICE RANGE (BPR) DETECTOR
This indicator detects Balanced Price Ranges (BPR) by analyzing the overlap between bullish and bearish Fair Value Gaps (FVG). BPR zones represent areas where opposing market forces create equilibrium, often acting as strong support/resistance levels.
KEY FEATURES:
- Automatic detection of overlapping FVGs to form BPR zones
- Confidence scoring system (0-100%) based on overlap ratio, size, volume, and symmetry
- Customizable filters (ATR, Volume)
- Real-time mitigation tracking
- Alert system for new BPRs, mitigations, and rejections
- Visual customization options
HOW IT WORKS:
The indicator continuously scans for Fair Value Gaps in both directions. When a bullish FVG overlaps with a bearish FVG within the specified lookback period, a BPR zone is created. The confidence score helps traders identify the strongest zones.
USAGE:
- High confidence BPRs (>75%) often act as strong reversal zones
- Use for entry/exit points when price approaches BPR zones
- Combine with other indicators for confirmation
- Monitor touch counts for zone strength validation
SETTINGS:
- Lookback Bars: Number of bars to search for overlapping FVGs
- Min Overlap Ratio: Minimum overlap percentage required
- ATR/Volume Filters: Filter out weak or low-volume BPRs
- Display Options: Customize visual appearance
- Mitigation Type: Choose between wick or close-based mitigation
Perfect for traders using price action, supply/demand zones, or institutional order flow concepts.
High Time Frame FVG [TakingProphets]HTF FVG
The HTF FVG indicator is built for traders who want a clean, multi-timeframe view of Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) without manually flipping charts. It automatically detects unmitigated FVGs across up to five higher timeframes and overlays them directly on your active chart, keeping your execution bias aligned with higher-timeframe liquidity.
✨ What it does
📌 Multi-timeframe mapping – Detects and plots bullish/bearish FVGs across up to 5 custom HTFs + your current chart.
🧩 Auto-labeling – Each gap is tagged with its originating timeframe (e.g., M5, H1, D1).
🔄 Live updates – FVGs extend forward in time and are automatically removed once mitigated based on your plan.
🟢 Inverse FVGs (optional) – Highlight “inverse gaps” for traders who utilize them in reversal models.
🎯 Consequent Encroachment lines – Enable mid-gap CE levels for precision-based trade management.
⚡ Optimized performance – Built with array management, capped lookback periods, and per-timeframe limits for smooth charting.
🛠️ How it works
Fair Value Gaps are detected using a 3-candle structure:
Bullish FVG → the high of two candles ago is below the low of the prior candle.
Bearish FVG → the low of two candles ago is above the high of the prior candle.
For each selected timeframe:
When an FVG forms, a box is drawn from the gap boundaries and extended forward by a configurable number of bars.
If price closes into the gap on its originating timeframe, the box is automatically removed.
If Consequent Encroachment is enabled, a mid-gap line is plotted for refined targeting.
When multiple gaps exist per side, only the closest unmitigated one remains highlighted for clarity.
⚙️ Inputs & customization
Detection Sensitivity → High / Medium / Low
Lookback Period → 1 Day / 1 Week / 1 Month / Max
Extend Gaps → Add extra forward bars beyond the originating candle.
Show Consequent Encroachment → Toggle CE midlines on/off.
Show Inverse FVGs → Mark inverted gaps for advanced models.
Custom HTFs → Choose up to 5 timeframes to map onto your execution chart.
Appearance Settings → Configure colors, transparency, label size, and gap boundary styles.
📈 Practical tips
Use smaller execution timeframes (e.g., 1m–5m) and overlay multiple HTFs (e.g., M15, H1, H4, D1).
Watch for stacked HTF FVGs in the same price zone — these often create higher-probability draw areas.
Pair CE midlines with session timing, PD arrays, and liquidity concepts to refine entries.
Limit your lookback period and max stored FVGs for better performance during volatile sessions.
📌 Notes
This tool does not generate buy/sell signals. It’s a context mapping utility to help align your trading plan with higher-timeframe structure.
Weekend gaps are automatically filtered out to reduce false positives.

Fair Value Gap Suite Adrian V1.0.0Brief description
The “FVG Suite” identifies fair value gaps across multiple time units, evaluates them with a displacement score, optionally filters them according to market structure events (BOS/CHOCH), and provides context-based alerts for first touch, partial and full fills, and invalidation. The aim is to show only high-quality imbalances and trade them based on rules.
What makes the script unique (originality/added value)
Displacement score: Strength of the impulse movement as a combination of (body/ATR, range/ATR, volume Z-score).
MTF aggregator: FVGs from higher timeframes are collected, ranked, and displayed as zones on the active chart (including overlap clustering).
Structure context: Optionally, only FVGs after confirmed BOS/CHOCH in the trend direction, including premium/discount evaluation relative to the HTF range.
Adaptive invalidation: FVG expires after candles, opposing BOS or defined time (e.g., end of session).
Session/instrument filter: Time window (e.g., NY/LDN), minimum tick size, ATR-based minimum gap.
Smart fill logic: Distinguishes between first touch, partial fill (≥ %), full fill (100%); alarms per event.

How it works (conceptually)
FVG definition (3-candle pattern): Bullish if High < Low (bearish analog). Size = gap span in points.
Quality score:Score = w1*(|Body|/ATR) + w2*(Range/ATR) + w3*(Volume-Z), normalized to 0–100.
MTF scan: List of higher TFs: (customizable). Findings are merged, ranked, and displayed as zones with priority (color/opacity).
Context filter: Only FVGs that emerge after BOS/CHOCH in the direction of the current trend; optional exclusion in premium/discount areas.
Invalidation & alerts: A zone is considered active until the invalidation rule takes effect. Alerts are triggered upon: initial contact, partial/full filling, invalidation.
Important inputs
Min. FVG size: × ATRor ticks/points
Min. displacement score: (0–100)

The Multi Timeframe Fair Value Gap Indicator Pro is the most advanced FVG detection system on TradingView, designed to identify high-probability institutional supply and demand zones across multiple timeframes simultaneously. This professional-grade tool automatically detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), also known as imbalance zones, liquidity voids, or inefficiency gaps - the exact areas where institutional traders enter and exit positions.
🔍 What Are Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)?
Fair Value Gaps are three-candle price formations that create imbalances in the market structure. These gaps represent areas where buying or selling was so aggressive that price moved too quickly, leaving behind an inefficient zone that price often returns to "fill" or "mitigate." Professional traders use these zones as high-probability entry points.

ICT Confirmed FVG Indicator ICT FVG Indicator (Confirmed by Swings)
Summary
This indicator is designed to identify high-probability Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) by confirming them with market structure. It filters out random imbalances and only highlights the FVGs that are created at the same time as a confirmed ICT Swing High or Swing Low.
The core principle is to connect price imbalances directly to significant shifts in market structure, providing a cleaner and more powerful signal.
What It Does
Identifies Swing Points: Automatically detects and draws confirmed swing highs (resistance) and swing lows (support) on your chart based on the settings you choose.
Finds Fair Value Gaps: It scans the chart for the classic 3-candle FVG pattern (also known as a BISI or SIBI).
Confirms FVGs with Swings: This is the most important feature. The indicator will only draw an FVG box if one of the three candles that created the FVG is also a confirmed swing point. This ensures you are only seeing imbalances that are directly related to a break in market structure.
Invalidates Old FVGs: To keep the chart clean, the indicator will automatically remove an FVG box after the price has fully passed through it a certain number of times (customizable in the settings).
Settings Explained
ICT Swings Settings
Left/Right Strength: Controls the sensitivity of the swing detection. Higher numbers require a more significant, obvious swing point to be confirmed. Lower numbers will identify more minor swings.
Max Swing Lines: Sets the maximum number of swing high and swing low lines to display on the chart at one time.
Swing High/Low Color: Customize the color of the swing point lines.
FVG Settings
Show Bullish/Bearish FVG: Use these checkboxes to turn the bullish (green) or bearish (red) FVG boxes on or off.
Bullish/Bearish FVG Color: Customize the color of the FVG boxes.
FVG Invalidation Threshold: This sets how many times the price can fully close on the other side of an FVG before the box is automatically removed.
Max Active FVGs to Show: Sets the maximum number of FVG boxes to keep on the chart to prevent clutter.
Key Features
High-Probability Signals: Filters out noise by focusing only on FVGs that are confirmed by a shift in market structure.
Clean Visuals: Automatically draws and removes swing lines and FVG boxes to keep your chart uncluttered.
Fully Customizable: Adjust the sensitivity of the swing detection and the appearance of the FVGs to fit your trading style.
Pure ICT Concepts: Built strictly on the principles of Inner Circle Trader for a method-consistent analysis.
Golden Sweep - ZTFGolden Sweep - ZTF: Multi-Confluence Reversal Detection System
Purpose & Methodology:
The Golden Sweep combines six distinct market structure analysis methods into a unified confluence system designed to identify high-probability reversal points at inverse Fair Value Gaps (iFVGs). Rather than relying on single-indicator signals, this system requires simultaneous confirmation across multiple independent market dimensions to filter out noise and reduce false signals.
Core Logic & Technical Approach:
1. Fair Value Gap Analysis Foundation
The system begins by detecting standard Fair Value Gaps (price inefficiencies where gaps exist between candle wicks) and monitors when price returns to fill these gaps, creating inverse FVGs. This forms the base signal trigger.
2. Liquidity Sweep Confirmation Engine
Uses pivot-based swing detection to identify when price has recently swept through key support/resistance levels, indicating stop-loss hunting activity. The algorithm tracks recent liquidity events within a configurable lookback period and correlates them with iFVG formations.
3. VWAP Statistical Positioning
Calculates real-time Volume Weighted Average Price with standard deviation bands. Signals are only validated when price is positioned at statistically significant VWAP deviations (configurable zones), ensuring alignment with institutional flow patterns.
4. Balanced Price Range (BPR) Structure Analysis
Detects overlapping bullish and bearish Fair Value Gaps that create consolidation zones. The system identifies when new iFVGs form within or near these balanced ranges, indicating potential breakout reversals from established accumulation/distribution areas.
5. Turtle Soup Reversal Pattern Recognition
Implements Larry Connors' turtle soup methodology to detect false breakouts. Identifies when price penetrates recent highs/lows but closes back within the prior range, indicating failed breakout attempts that often precede strong reversals.
6. Exhaustion Signal Detection
Employs dual-timeframe momentum analysis using Williams %R methodology with optimized smoothing parameters. Detects overbought/oversold exhaustion conditions and confirms when momentum shifts from extreme readings back toward equilibrium, indicating potential trend exhaustion reversals.
Confluence Requirement Logic:
A Golden Sweep signal only triggers when ALL enabled filters simultaneously confirm within their respective lookback periods. This six-dimensional approach significantly reduces signal frequency while increasing reliability by ensuring multiple market forces align before generating alerts.
Session & Timing Integration:
Incorporates session-based filtering to account for varying market dynamics across trading sessions (NY Open, London Close, etc.), as different sessions exhibit distinct liquidity and volatility characteristics.
Implementation Notes:
All calculations use confirmed bar data to prevent repainting
Configurable lookback periods allow adaptation to different timeframes and market conditions
Visual overlays are optional and independent of signal generation logic
Built-in risk management through signal rarity and confluence requirements
This systematic approach addresses the common problem of indicator overload by creating a structured framework where multiple analysis methods must agree before signaling, resulting in fewer but higher-quality trade opportunities.

FVG + IFVG Gap (ULTRA) by Aditya NejeThis Indicator shows Fair Value Gap and Inverse Fair Value gaps
FVG-Bully BearsFVG-Bully Bears Indicator
The FVG-Bully Bears indicator is a powerful tool designed to identify Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on your TradingView charts. FVGs are price gaps that occur when the market moves sharply, leaving areas where little to no trading activity took place. These gaps often act as key support or resistance zones, making them valuable for traders looking to spot potential reversal or continuation points.
This indicator highlights Bullish FVGs (potential support zones) and Bearish FVGs (potential resistance zones) with customizable boxes and labels, helping you visualize these critical price levels with ease.
Features
Bullish and Bearish FVGs: Detects gaps where price has left untested areas, marking bullish (green) and bearish (red) FVGs.
Customizable Display: Choose to show or hide bullish/bearish FVGs, adjust colors, and control box visibility.
FVG Labels: Optional labels on each FVG box to clearly identify bullish or bearish gaps, with adjustable text size.
Delete Filled FVGs: Automatically removes FVGs once price revisits and fills the gap, keeping your chart clean.
Box Extension: Extend FVG boxes into the future (up to 100 bars) to track unfilled gaps over time.
Performance Optimization: Limits the number of displayed FVG boxes (default: 50) to ensure smooth chart performance.
How It Works
Bullish FVG: Identified when the high of a candle two bars ago is lower than the low of the current candle, indicating a sharp upward move.
Bearish FVG: Identified when the low of a candle two bars ago is higher than the high of the current candle, indicating a sharp downward move.
FVGs are drawn as colored boxes (green for bullish, red for bearish) and can include labels for easy identification.
If enabled, filled FVGs (where price revisits the gap) are deleted to reduce chart clutter.
Settings
FVG Settings
Show Bullish FVGs: Enable/disable bullish FVG boxes (default: enabled).
Show Bearish FVGs: Enable/disable bearish FVG boxes (default: enabled).
Bullish FVG Color: Customize the color and transparency of bullish FVG boxes (default: light green).
Bearish FVG Color: Customize the color and transparency of bearish FVG boxes (default: light red).
Max FVG Boxes: Set the maximum number of FVG boxes displayed (default: 50, range: 1–500).
Extend FVG Boxes (Bars): Extend FVG boxes into the future by a specified number of bars (default: 8, range: 0–100).
Show FVG Labels: Enable/disable text labels on FVG boxes (default: enabled).
Label Size: Choose the size of FVG labels (options: Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, Huge; default: Small).
Delete Filled FVGs: Automatically remove FVGs when price fills the gap (default: enabled).
How to Use
Add the FVG-Bully Bears indicator to your TradingView chart.
Customize the settings to match your trading style (e.g., adjust colors, toggle labels, or change box extensions).
Watch for green (bullish) and red (bearish) FVG boxes:
Bullish FVGs: Potential support zones where price may bounce or consolidate.
Bearish FVGs: Potential resistance zones where price may reverse or stall.
Use FVGs in combination with other indicators (e.g., support/resistance, trendlines) for better trade decisions.
If “Delete Filled FVGs” is enabled, filled gaps will disappear, keeping your chart focused on active FVGs.
Ideal For
Swing Traders: Identify key price zones for entries or exits.
Day Traders: Spot intraday support/resistance levels created by rapid price moves.
Price Action Traders: Use FVGs to confirm market structure and potential reversal points.
Notes
For best performance, keep “Max FVG Boxes” at a reasonable value (e.g., 50) to avoid chart lag.
FVGs are most effective on lower timeframes (e.g., 5m, 15m, 1H) but can be used on any timeframe.
Combine with other tools like volume or trend indicators for a complete trading strategy.

[MAD] FVG with LTF-POC/TPOOverview
The Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detector is a precision tool designed to automatically identify, draw, and track market inefficiencies. These gaps, also known as imbalances, often act as powerful magnets for future price action.
This indicator handles the entire lifecycle of an FVG: from its creation and extension, to the moment it is first touched, and through its entire mitigation process. To add an even deeper layer of analysis, it can now optionally plot two types of micro-analysis lines for the middle candle of the FVG pattern: a volume-based Point of Control (LTF-POC) and a time-based Time Price Opportunity (LTF-TPO). These high-precision lines pinpoint the most significant price levels within the imbalance itself.
By providing a clean and objective visualization of these critical price zones, the FVG Detector gives traders a clear framework for spotting high-probability setups and understanding how the market returns to areas of inefficiency to become balanced once again.

The indicator’s logic is built on precise detection, dynamic visualization, and intelligent state tracking to provide a comprehensive view of market imbalances.
⚪ The FVG Detection Engine
At its core, the indicator uses a classic three-candle pattern to identify FVGs. This mechanical definition removes all subjectivity:
Bullish FVG: A gap is identified when the high of the first candle is lower than the low of the third candle. The space between these two prices creates the bullish FVG.
Bearish FVG: A gap is identified when the low of the first candle is higher than the high of the third candle. The space between these two prices creates the bearish FVG.
⚪ Dynamic Drawing and Mitigation
Once an FVG is detected, the indicator automatically draws a colored box to represent the gap. This box is then managed through its entire lifecycle:
Extension: If enabled, the FVG box extends forward in time with each new candle, acting as a visible, forward-looking zone of interest.
Partial Mitigation Trigger: The moment price first "touches" the gap, the box changes color to signal that it is no longer a fresh, unmitigated zone. The statistics table counts this as a "Partially Mitigated" event.
Shrinking FVG: As price moves further into the gap, the colored box dynamically shrinks, providing a real-time visual of how much of the imbalance has been filled.
Historical Outline: An optional secondary outline box is drawn to preserve the FVG's original size. This outline stops extending when the FVG is first touched, leaving a permanent historical marker.
⚪ Optional LTF Analysis for Added Precision
The indicator can look "inside" the FVG's middle candle to find its most significant price levels.
LTF-POC (Volume-Based): Using data from a lower timeframe, it analyzes the volume profile of the FVG-creating candle to find the single price level from the lower-timeframe bar with the highest trading volume.
LTF-TPO (Time-Based): It also identifies the Time Price Opportunity by dividing the candle's price range into distinct "bins." The script counts how many lower-timeframe price ticks occurred in each bin, and the TPO line is drawn at the center of the busiest bin.
Visual Confluence: These are drawn as distinct horizontal lines (defaulting to orange for POC and yellow for TPO) that extend and are managed alongside the FVG's historical outline, serving as precise levels of interest within the broader FVG zone.
█ Why This Indicator is Different
While many traders can spot FVGs manually, this indicator offers a significant edge through the possibility of the lowertimeframe analysis and showing the syntetic TPO or POCs for the relevant candles.
⚪ Automated and Objective
The market moves fast, and manually drawing FVGs is impractical and prone to error. This tool automates the entire process.
Never Miss a Gap: The detector impartially scans every three-candle sequence, ensuring no FVG is missed.
No Subjectivity: The rules for detection, mitigation, and LTF analysis are based on fixed mathematical models, removing subjective judgment.
Multi-Timeframe Clarity: The indicator works flawlessly on any timeframe, allowing you to maintain a consistent view of market structure.
⚪ Visualizing Market Memory
This tool does more than just draw boxes; it tells a story. Watching a box change color and shrink provides a visual of market dynamics in action. The optional historical outlines and LTF analysis lines build a "map" on your chart, showing where significant reactions and high-liquidity zones occurred in the past, which provides invaluable context for future price movements.
█ How to Use
⚪ Identifying High-Probability Zones
The primary use of the FVG Detector is to identify high-probability zones where price may react.
Entries: Unmitigated (fresh) FVGs can serve as powerful entry zones. Traders may look for price to return to a bullish FVG to take a long position, or to a bearish FVG to take a short position.
Targets: An FVG in your path can also act as a logical profit target. For example, if you are in a long position, you might take profit as price fills a nearby bearish FVG above you.
⚪ Confluence and Confirmation
FVGs are most powerful when they align with other forms of technical analysis. Look for FVGs that have "confluence" with:
Market Structure: A bullish FVG found at a key support level or after a bullish break of structure is a higher-probability setup.
Order Blocks: An FVG that overlaps with a bullish or bearish order block creates a very potent point of interest.
Premium/Discount Zones: FVGs found deep in a premium (for shorts) or discount (for longs) area of a trading range often yield strong reactions.
The LTF Lines (POC & TPO): Use these lines as a source of internal confluence. While the FVG gives you a zone, the POC and TPO give you precise levels within that zone. The POC shows where the highest volume was traded, while the TPO shows where price spent the most time. Confluence between these two lines can signal an extremely strong level.
█ Settings
Max Number of FVGs to Display: Controls how many active FVGs are kept on the chart to prevent clutter and maintain performance.
Extend Unmitigated FVGs: When enabled, FVG boxes will extend to the right until price touches them.
Show Bullish/Bearish FVGs: Toggles the visibility of bullish or bearish FVGs.
Show FVG Labels: Toggles the visibility of the "FVG" text labels.
Keep Mitigated Outlines: If checked, the historical outline box (and its associated POC/TPO lines) will remain on the chart even after the FVG is completely filled.
Show Statistics: Toggles the visibility of the statistics table, which tracks total, partly mitigated, and fully mitigated FVGs.
Show LTF-TPO (Time-Based): Toggles the calculation and display of the Time Price Opportunity line.
Show LTF-POC (Volume-Based): Toggles the calculation and display of the Point of Control line.
Use Custom LTF for Analysis: Check this to manually select a timeframe for the POC/TPO calculation. If unchecked, the script auto-selects a lower timeframe.
Lower Timeframe: The specific lower timeframe to use when the "Custom LTF" box is checked.
Magnifier (Bars per Slice): Controls how the script auto-selects a lower timeframe (higher number = lower timeframe). Only active when "Custom LTF" is unchecked.
█ The Logic Explained
This indicator uses a clear, rules-based system based on mathematical and conditional principles.
The 3-Candle FVG Pattern
The detection engine precisely identifies FVGs by comparing the price extremes of a three-candle sequence. For a bullish FVG, it confirms that the high of the first candle is strictly below the low of the third candle. For a bearish FVG, the low of the first candle must be strictly above the high of the third. This leaves an objective, unfilled gap in the market.
The Mitigation and Shrinking Process
Once an FVG is created, the indicator monitors it on every subsequent bar. The moment a candle's price action enters the FVG's zone, it's flagged as "partially mitigated," and its color changes. The script then continues to track how far price pushes into the gap, dynamically shrinking the box to visually represent the remaining imbalance.
Lower-Timeframe (LTF) Analysis Explained
To add precision, the indicator performs a micro-analysis of the middle candle of the FVG pattern. This is achieved by mathematically deconstructing that single candle using data from a smaller timeframe.
The lower timeframe is determined either manually or automatically via the Magnifier. The Magnifier works by dividing the chart's current timeframe. For example, on a 60-minute chart, a Magnifier of 60 tells the indicator to perform its analysis using 1-minute data (60÷60=1).
Once the LTF data is obtained, two calculations are performed:
LTF Point of Control (Volume-Based): This method seeks the price of maximum commitment. The indicator analyzes the volume of every single lower-timeframe bar within the main candle and identifies the one bar with the highest trading volume. The closing price of that specific high-volume bar is designated as the POC.
LTF Time Price Opportunity (Time-Based): This method finds the price where the market spent the most time trading. The process is a form of price distribution analysis:
The total price range (high to low) of the main candle is measured.
This range is divided into 40 equal price zones, or "bins". For a candle with a $2 range, each bin would represent a price slice of 5 cents
The indicator then counts how many of the lower-timeframe closing prices fall within each of the 40 bins.
The TPO line is drawn at the midpoint of the single bin that contained the most prices, representing the "busiest" price level.
Time-Based Drawing for Accuracy
To ensure perfect alignment across all historical data and chart reloads, all drawings are anchored to the precise timestamp of the bar, not its sequential position on the chart. This robust method guarantees that all zones remain fixed and accurate regardless of how much historical data is loaded.

Fair Value MSThis indicator introduces rigid rules to familiar concepts to better capture and visualize Market Structure and Areas of Support and Resistance in a way that is both rule-based and reactive to market movements.
Typical "Market Structure" or "Zig-Zag" methods determine swing points based on fixed thresholds (length or percentage). While this does provide rigid structure, the results may be lagging or confusing due to the timing, since it is fixed to static parameters.
I believe the concept of Fair Value Gaps can solve this problem.
As you will notice, there are no length settings in this indicator.
> FVG Market Structure
Fair Value Gaps are a well known concept used to indicate directional intent, forming when price moves aggressively in one direction, leaving behind an imbalance between buyers and sellers. While the term FVG was popularized by ICT, the underlying concept predates them, known historically as imbalances, inefficiencies, or liquidity voids in institutional trading.
Note: For simplicity, in this indicator they'll be called FVGs.
By reading into this, we are able to clearly and rigidly define market structure simply by "looking" at the chart, using objective price events rather than subjective interpretation, or lengths.
By using FVGs to determine structure direction, the length, and speed of identification lies entirely on the market. If an FVG Down occurs immediately after a New Higher High forms, it is reasonable to assume there was a seller at that point, so the script would indicate a New Swing High.
The script is NOT stuck, waiting for a % retrace, or # bars to pass to identify it as such.
Sometimes the market is in a steady trend in a single direction and no FVGs form; therefore, no structure forms. -> Why would we try to impose structure on a clear trend?
Ultimately, the FVG Structure Method uses real reactions from the market to determine Market structure, and is not fixed to specific parameters.
As with other market structure indicators, "Market Structure Breaks" are still identifiable when price moves outside the most recent swing points.
These are helpful to indicate larger direction. In the following section you will see how these help us determine when we should start the search for an "Area of Interest (AOI)".
> Areas of Interest (AOIs)
"Area of Interest (AOI)" is a generalized term, and could refer to many types of zones you might recognize under different names. While the AOIs in this indicator are specialized in their own way, I have chosen to simply use the term "Area of Interest" because it’s more important to understand how they behave and why they exist than to focus on what they’re called.
The goal of an AOI is to point out reasonable areas where buyers or sellers may be staging, as is typical with support and resistance.
In order to reasonably identify these areas, we look for cause and effect relationships. When considering these relationships, it's easier to understand the placement of the points to define each zone.
(Buyer Examples)
Cause: Strong Buyers step in at Swing Low
Effect: Fair Value Gap Forms
Cause: Sustained Buying Pressure
Effect: Market Structure Breaks
In this example, The zone is drawn from the Swing Low, to the Bottom of the FVG closest to the swing point.
In theory, the participation at the swing point was strong and aggressive enough to create the FVG imbalance. Which then found acceptance and continued into a Market Structure Break. So with these AOIs, we are trying to locate the aggressive Buyers or Sellers which were positioned BEFORE the FVG.
These Zones are intended to act as areas to look for reactions from market participants, to judge where price may be going. When revisiting these zones, we look for a reaction or a break, to further provide us information to if the buyers or sellers are still there.
As seen in the screenshot above, The information we gain is not from the creation of these zones, but from the behavior we witness when these zones are revisited.
Technical Note: In this indicator, Market Structure Breaks are only considered when price closes outside the recent swing points. Wicks are not considered as confirmation, therefore are not used to detect structural breaks.
Inside each AOI you can optionally display a readout of the volume which accumulated during the time starting at the swing point and going until the closing bar of the FVG.
Note: We are counting volume until the closing bar of the FVG since the FVG is a 3 bar formation, and aggressive volume is required throughout to create the imbalance.
There are multiple FVGs that typically occur in a single direction, but we do not look to every single one to be indicative of structure, only the first FVG in the opposite direction of the previous direction (which is determined by previous FVGs)
You will probably notice, the AOIs do not form from the closest swing or FVG to the break, this is because we are targeting larger directional changes to draw these AOIs from.
Since they do not always happen perfectly every time, the AOI formation waits for an FVG to occur AND a Market structure break to happen. One without the other will result in no Zone displaying.
> Reflection Lines
While they may seem slightly redundant, Reflection Lines serve as reminders of previous support and resistance pivots. They are drawn at the same Pivots where and AOI is formed, and extend beyond the mitigation of the AOI.
These lines are often points of price to look for "Support Flips", a re-test pattern where price trades through previous support (or resistance) then returns to it and rejects, continuing into a larger move or trend.
Their namesake is based on the behavior of price, "reflecting" at these levels.
The Reflection lines are simple and change color based on price's location.
If price is above, we would typically look to a reflection line in with support in mind.
As a basic filter, these lines use an average price to determine their color, this way they will not change their color as frequently in choppy situations.
> Session Start/End Lines
For analysis purposes and trade review, it is helpful to analyze with context.
For that reason, I have implemented start and end session lines into the indicator, these are helpful when reviewing historical charts to not provide additional context.
By default, they are set to the NYSE Session, but can be changed to fit any needs.
These lines are not advanced, and simply draw a line as the chart passes the start and end of the sessions. It's very likely that you may need to adjust the session for your specific needs.
Note: The Timezone can be adjusted within the code if needed. By Default, the indicator uses "America/New_York" Timezone.
> Conclusion
If you’ve ever felt like your structure tools were confusing or lagging, drawing zones too late, or zones that simply don't make sense, this should feel like a breath of fresh air.
By removing arbitrary length settings and instead using FVGs to define structure and as a basis for AOIs, you're getting a more accurate look at what price is doing and where it's reacting from.
This indicator is rule-based, reactive, and aims to keep things logical without fluff or false confidence.
Enjoy!

Fair Value Gap MTF [by Oberlunar]Fair Value Gap MTF is a multi-timeframe indicator designed to detect and display Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) across up to five customizable timeframes. Fair Value Gaps are price inefficiencies—zones where the market moved too quickly, leaving unfilled areas between candles. These gaps are often used by traders as reference points for future price retracements, as they tend to be revisited or “mitigated” over time.
This indicator extends the traditional FVG concept by introducing dynamic multi-timeframe tracking. Each timeframe has its own visual layer, with distinct user-defined colors for bullish and bearish gaps. The script not only highlights newly formed FVGs but also updates them visually when they are touched by price. Mitigated FVGs are recolored in real time, and an optional setting allows the size of these zones to shrink progressively, reflecting only the remaining untested portion.
Labels at the center of each box display the originating timeframe, offering clear visual context. All calculations are properly aligned with the display chart, ensuring that each FVG is correctly projected into the current view, regardless of its timeframe of origin.
Fair Value Gaps often act as support or resistance levels. Bullish FVGs can serve as areas where price may find support, while bearish FVGs can signal potential resistance. When these zones are mitigated repeatedly, it typically reflects areas of institutional interest, liquidity pools, or zones of accumulation and distribution. Such behavior makes them particularly significant in breakout and reversal strategies.

Fair Value Gap Profiles [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This script draws and manages Fair Value Gap (FVG) zones by detecting unfilled gaps in price action and then augmenting them with intra-gap volume profiles from a lower timeframe. It is designed to help traders find potential areas where price may return to fill liquidity voids, and to provide extra detail about volume distribution inside each gap to assess strength and likely mitigation. The script automatically tracks each gap, updates its state over time, and can show which gaps are still unfilled or have been mitigated.
🟠 CONCEPTS
A Fair Value Gap is a zone between candles where no trades occurred, often seen as an inefficiency that price later revisits. The script checks each bar to see if a bullish (low above 2-bars-ago high) or bearish (high below 2-bars-ago low) gap has formed, and measures whether the gap’s size exceeds a threshold defined by a volatility-adjusted multiplier of past gap widths (to only detect significantly large gaps). Once a qualified gap is found, it gets recorded and visualized with a box that can stretch forward in time until filled. To add more context, a mini volume profile is built from a lower timeframe’s price and volume data, showing how volume is distributed inside the gap. The lowest-volume subzone is also highlighted using a sliding window scan method to visualise the true gap (area with least trading activity)
🟠 FEATURES
Visual gap boxes that appear automatically when bullish or bearish fair value gaps are detected on the chart.
Color-coded zones showing bullish gaps in one color and bearish gaps in another so you can easily see which side the gap favors.
Volume profile histograms plotted inside each gap using data from a lower timeframe, helping you see where volume concentrated inside the gap area.
Highlight of the lowest-volume subzone within each gap so you can spot areas price may target when filling the gap.
Dynamic extension of the gap boxes across the chart until price comes back and fills them, marking them as mitigated.
Customizable colors and transparency settings for gap boxes, profiles, and low-volume highlights to match your chart style.
Alerts that notify you when a new gap is created or when price fills an existing gap.
🟠 USAGE
This indicator helps you find and track unfilled price gaps that often act as magnets for price to revisit. You can use it to spot areas where liquidity may rest and plan entries or exits around these zones.
The colored gap boxes show you exactly where a fair value gap starts and ends, so you can anticipate potential pullbacks or continuations when price approaches them.
The intra-gap volume profile lets you gauge whether the gap was created on strong or thin participation, which can help judge how likely it is to be filled. The highlighted lowest-volume subzone shows where price might accelerate once inside the gap.
Traders often look for entries when price returns to a gap, aiming for a reaction or reversal in that area. You can also combine the mitigation alerts with your trade management to track when gaps have been closed and adjust your bias accordingly. Overall, the tool gives a clear visual reference for imbalance zones that can help structure trades around supply and demand dynamics.
