📊 Enhanced FVG Indicator with Multi-Session Support
Overview
The Enhanced FVG (Fair Value Gap) Indicator is a professional-grade tool designed for traders who want to identify and track Fair Value Gaps across multiple trading sessions. This indicator combines advanced FVG detection with smart extension modes, customizable alerts, and automatic instrument calibration.
🎯 What is a Fair Value Gap (FVG)?
A Fair Value Gap occurs when there's a price imbalance in the market, creating a "gap" that the price often revisits. This happens when:
Bullish FVG: The high of candle 2 bars ago is below the low of the current candle
Bearish FVG: The low of candle 2 bars ago is above the high of the current candle
FVGs are powerful supply and demand zones that smart money traders use to identify potential reversal or continuation points.
✨ Key Features
🔟 Multiple Session Support
10 Configurable Sessions: Track FVGs across different time windows throughout the day
Independent Control: Enable/disable each session individually
Custom Session Times: Define your own session hours in any timezone
Unique Colors: Each session has its own customizable color scheme
Session Labels: Clear identification with customizable labels (S1-S10)
🎨 Modern Label System
Text-Only Labels: Clean, modern design without background boxes
9 Position Options: Place labels anywhere on the FVG (Top/Middle/Bottom × Left/Center/Right)
Dynamic Information: Shows session name, direction (↑/↓), and size in points
Adjustable Size: Choose from Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, or Huge text
Custom Colors: Full control over label text color
📏 Smart Extension Modes
1. Follow Current Bar
FVGs dynamically extend to follow the current price action
Configurable bar offset (-50 to +50) to project ahead or stop before current bar
Perfect for real-time trading and keeping your chart clean
2. Until Time
Extend FVGs until a specific time of day (HHMM format)
Ideal for intraday traders with specific market closure times
Example: Stop all FVGs at 1600 (4:00 PM)
3. Until Retest
Automatically stop extending when price retests the FVG
Three sensitivity levels:
Touch: Wick touches the FVG zone
Close Inside: Close price enters the FVG
Full Body Inside: Entire candle body within the FVG
Great for validating FVG fills and trading opportunities
🔔 Advanced Alert System
Creation Alerts: Get notified when a new FVG forms
Format: "FVG Created: S1 ↑ 79pts @ 70339.00-70418.30"
Retest Alerts: One-time alert when price revisits a FVG
Format: "FVG Retested: S1 @ 70380.00"
Configurable: Enable/disable alerts independently
No Spam: Each FVG only triggers one retest alert
