Fair Value Gap ChartThe Fair Value Gap chart is a new charting method that displays fair value gap imbalances as Japanese candlesticks, allowing traders to quickly see the evolution of historical market imbalances.
The script is additionally able to compute an exponential moving average using the imbalances as input.
🔶 USAGE
The Fair Value Gap chart allows us to quickly display historical fair value gap imbalances. This also allows for filtering out potential noisy variations, showing more compact trends.
Most like other charting methods, we can draw trendlines/patterns from the displayed results, this can be helpful to potentially predict future imbalances locations.
Users can display an exponential moving average computed from the detected fvg's imbalances. Imbalances above the ema can be indicative of an uptrend, while imbalances under the ema are indicative of a downtrend.
Note that due to pinescript limitations a maximum of 500 lines can be displayed, as such displaying the EMA prevent candle wicks from being displayed.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Candle Structure
The Fair Value Gap Chart is constructed by keeping a record of all detected fair value gaps on the chart. Each fvg is displayed as a candlestick, with the imbalance range representing the body of the candle, and the range of the imbalance interval being used for the wicks.
🔹 EMA Source Input
The exponential moving average uses the imbalance range to get its input source, the extremity of the range used depends on whether the fvg is bullish or bearish.
When the fvg is bullish, the maximum of the imbalance range is used as ema input, else the minimum of the fvg imbalance is used.

Anti-SMT + FVG StrategieMade by Laila
4h gives 57% winrate!
Instead of trading based on an expected SMT divergence, you assume that the divergence will not continue. You combine this with a Fair Value Gap (FVG) that is touched by price as additional confirmation.
Anti-SMT Logic (False Divergence)
Short:
EURUSD makes a new high (candle 1)
DXY does not make a new low
Long:
EURUSD makes a new low (candle 1)
DXY does not make a new high
This looks like SMT divergence, but your expectation is: "There will be no SMT."
Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection
Detects an unfilled gap between candle 1 and 3.
You only trade if the FVG is touched during:
🔹 Candle 1 (the false SMT candle) or
🔹 Candle 2 (the entry candle)
Extra Filters
Only go long if price is above the 50 EMA
Only go short if price is below the 50 EMA
Only trade between 08:00 and 18:00 UTC
Wait 10 candles cooldown between trades
Result:
You only trade when:
There is a possible SMT illusion
An FVG is touched
The setup aligns with trend, session, and timing
This gives you a rational, rare, but strong edge.

Trade Wisely
How a Fair Value Gap Works
Formation:
A Fair Value Gap occurs when a strong price movement (usually from institutional orders) creates an imbalance between buyers and sellers.
This is typically seen in a three-candle pattern, where the middle candle has a large body, and the two surrounding candles have wicks but little overlap with the middle candle’s range.
Identification:
The FVG is marked between the high of the first candle and the low of the third candle (for bullish gaps).
For bearish gaps, it’s the low of the first candle and the high of the third candle.
Market Behavior Around FVG:
Price often retraces into the gap before resuming its original direction.
This happens because the market seeks to "fill" the imbalance where few trades occurred.
Traders use FVGs as potential entry zones for trend continuation trades.
Trading Fair Value Gaps
In an Uptrend:
Look for bullish fair value gaps as potential support zones for buy entries.
Price may dip into the gap and then continue upward.
In a Downtrend:
Look for bearish fair value gaps as potential resistance zones for sell entries.
Price may retrace into the gap and then drop further.
Confluence Factors:
FVGs work best when combined with other strategies like order blocks, liquidity zones, or key Fibonacci levels.
Imbalance Detector [LuxAlgo]This indicator detects and highlights market imbalances alongside a dashboard returning information about their frequency of occurrence and their fill percentage. Imbalances included in this script are Fair Value Gaps (FVG), Opening Gaps (OG) and Volume Imbalances (VI).
Alerts are available for the occurrences of all market imbalances.
Settings
Imbalances
Each imbalance has the same settings layout:
Imbalance: Enable/disable the detection of the specific imbalance.
Min Width: If enabled, requires the imbalance area width to be greater than the specified value. This minimum width can be expressed in points, percentages or ATR multiples.
Extend: Extend imbalances by a specified number of bars.
Dashboard
Show Dashboard: Enable/disable the dashboard on the chart.
Dashboard Location: Location of the dashboard on the chart.
Dashboard Size: Size of the dashboard.
Usage
Market imbalances are part of the many concepts available to price action traders and highlight areas where there is a disparity between supply and demand.
It is common to see price come back to these areas and traders often use them as supports and resistances but also as targets.
Details
The script can detect three distinct types of imbalances described below.
Fair Value Gaps
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) are three candle formations characterized by a gap between the wicks of the non-adjacent candles in the formation.
A bullish FVG is characterized by a gap between the current price low and the 2 bars anterior price high, and a bearish FVG is characterized by a gap between the current price high and the 2 bars anterior price low.
Opening Gaps
Opening Gaps (OG) are imbalances characterized by non-existent activity within a specific price range.
A bullish OG occurs when the current price low is greater than the previous high, a bearish OG occurs when price high is lower than the previous price low.
Opening Gaps primarily occur in closing markets, as such they are less common in the cryptocurrency market.
Most of the time an Opening Gap will also be accompanied by a Fair Value Gap, in order to avoid clutter the indicator will not detect Fair Value Gaps if Opening Gaps are enabled and if an Opening Gap has been detected
Volume Imbalances
Volume Imbalances (VI) are characterized by a price discontinuity between the opening price and previous close, but unlike Opening Gaps we do not see nonexistent activity within a certain price range.
A bullish VI occur when both the opening and closing prices are superior to the previous closing price, with the current price low overlapping the previous price high. A bearish VI occur when both the opening and closing prices are inferior to the previous closing price, with the current price high overlapping the previous price low.
Because Volume Imbalances can occur excessively on markets with frequent gaps, we make use of an additional condition for filtering out less significant imbalances. Bullish VI's will require the previous price high to be lower than the opening price, while bullish VI's will require the previous price low to be higher than the opening price.

ICT Concepts: MML, Order Blocks, FVG, OTECore ICT Trading Concepts
These strategies are designed to identify high-probability trading opportunities by analyzing institutional order flow and market psychology.
1. Market Maker Liquidity (MML) / Liquidity Pools
Idea: Institutional traders ("market makers") place orders around key price levels where retail traders’ stop losses cluster (e.g., above swing highs or below swing lows).
Application: Look for "liquidity grabs" where price briefly spikes to these levels before reversing.
Example: If price breaks a recent high but reverses sharply, it may indicate a liquidity grab to trigger retail stops before a trend reversal.
2. Order Blocks (OB)
Idea: Institutional orders are often concentrated in specific price zones ("order blocks") where large buy/sell decisions occurred.
Application: Identify bullish order blocks (strong buying zones) or bearish order blocks (strong selling zones) on higher timeframes (e.g., 1H/4H charts).
Example: A bullish order block forms after a strong rally; price often retests this zone later as support.
3. Fair Value Gap (FVG)
Idea: A price imbalance occurs when candles gap without overlapping, creating an area of "unfair" price that the market often revisits.
Application: Trade the retracement to fill the FVG. A bullish FVG acts as support, and a bearish FVG acts as resistance.
Example: Three consecutive candles create a gap; price later returns to fill this gap, offering a entry point.
4. Time-Based Analysis (NY Session, London Kill Zones)
Idea: Institutional activity peaks during specific times (e.g., 7 AM – 11 AM New York time).
Application: Focus on trades during high-liquidity periods when banks and hedge funds are active.
Example: The "London Kill Zone" (2 AM – 5 AM EST) often sees volatility due to European market openings.
5. Optimal Trade Entry (OTE)
Idea: A retracement level (similar to Fibonacci retracement) where institutions re-enter trends after a pullback.
Application: Look for 62–79% retracements in a trend to align with institutional accumulation/distribution zones.
Example: In an uptrend, price retraces 70% before resuming upward—enter long here.
6. Stop Hunts
Idea: Institutions manipulate price to trigger retail stop losses before reversing direction.
Application: Avoid placing stops at obvious levels (e.g., above/below recent swings). Instead, use wider stops or wait for confirmation.
ICT 9:30am First FVGThis indicator is designed based on ICT (Inner Circle Trader)'s algorithmic price action theory, specifically targeting the first fair value gap (FVG) that forms immediately after the New York Stock Exchange opens at 9:30am. The FVG represents an imbalance in the price delivery where a significant price action gap occurs, which can play a crucial role in future price movements.
Features:
Identification of First FVG: Automatically identifies and plots the first fair value gap that forms post the 9:30am NY open.
Customizable Visualization: Choose between block or line styles for visual representation, with customizable colors and border styles.
Date Labeling: Optionally displays date labels for each identified gap to track patterns over time.
Imbalance Extension: Options to extend the imbalances to the current bar, helping to visualize their influence on ongoing price action.
Purpose:
The first fair value gap formed after the market opens is an important algorithmic price range in ICT's price action theory. This indicator simplifies the identification of these critical gaps and helps in understanding their impact on future price action.
Fair Value Gap Absorption Indicator [LuxAlgo]The Fair Value Gap Absorption Indicator aims to detect fair value gap imbalances and tracks the mitigation status of the detected fair value gap by highlighting the mitigation level till a new fair value gap is detected.
The Fair Value Gap (FVG) is a widely utilized tool among price action traders to detect market inefficiencies or imbalances. These imbalances arise when buying or selling pressure is significant, resulting in a large upward or downward move, leaving behind an imbalance in the market.
🔶 USAGE
A fair value gap appears in a triple-candle pattern when there is a large candle whose previous candle’s high and subsequent candle’s low do not fully overlap the large candle. The space between these wicks is known as the fair value gap.
Price can come back to these imbalance areas and mitigate them, however, this is sometimes a process involving multiple bars, the displayed imbalances by the indicator allow tracking the current mitigation level of a displayed imbalance.
Fair value gaps can become a magnet for the price before continuing in the same direction. Traders commonly wait for the price to revert toward the fair value gap to clear out the imbalance before continuing to move toward the prevailing trend.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹Fair Value Gaps
Fair Value Gap Width Filter: defines the filtering multiplier, please refer to the tooltip of the input option for further details.
Bullish, Imbalance and Mitigation: color customization option.
Bearish, Imbalance and Mitigation: color customization option.

Liquidity-Voids-FVG
ICT Institutional Order Flow (fadi)ICT Institutional Order Flow indicator is intended to provide wholistic view to better analyze order flow and where price may go to next. The concept follows ICT principles.
ICT Market Structure
ICT breaks down Pivot points into three categories:
Short Term High/Low (STH/STL) is a 3 candle pattern with a low with higher low on each side (STL), or a high with lower high on each side (STH)
Intermediate Term High/Low (ITH/ITL) uses the calculated STH/STL and marks any STH that has lower or STH on each side, and STL that has higher STL on each side
Long Term High/Low (LTH/LTL) uses the calculated ITH/ITL and marks any ITH that has lower or ITH on each side, and ITL that has higher ITL on each side
Note: ICT also states that if a STH wicks into and closes (almost?) a FVG, he marks it as ITH even if it does not have STH on reach side. This scenario is not covered by this indicator
Liquidity
liquidity is usually present under pivot points. The more prominent the pivot point, the more likely higher values liquidity pools reside under/above it. Liquidity under ITL and LTL as an example, will have better indication of which liquidity the price may seek next.
Displacement
Displacement registers above average move in the price resulting in strong visible move. If requiring a FVG is enabled (in settings), then the displacement could possibly (but never guaranteed) be used to visually recognize a move as it develops.
Full Credit: The calculation for Displacement is derived from TFO's Visualizing Displacement
Imbalances
Imbalances can come in different forms. This indicator identifies three type of imbalances:
1. FVG
2. Volume Imbalance
3. Open Gaps
Imbalances completes the picture by help visualize strong moves, where possible pivot points may develop, and how to enter or manage a trade.
Fair Value Gap█ OVERVIEW
This indicator displays the Fair Value Gap of the current timeframe and an additional higher timeframe. For each FVG the gaps act as targets creating bullish and bearish gaps that are often filled.
█ FEATURES
MTF Options
MidPoint FIll
Delete Old On Fill
Label FVG Timeframe
MTF Options
Enabling the MTF Options will allow the user to use the "MTF Timeframe" setting to choose what HTF Fair Value Gap to display
MidPoint FIll
A line plot at the Half way point will be included in the Fair Value Gap, this will be used to delete the gap when reached instead of a full fill.
Delete Old On Fill
Deletes historical Fair Value Gaps when filled.
Label FVG Timeframe
Labels Every Fair Value gap with there relevant timeframe to make it easier to determine which gap is being filled.
█ HOW TO USE IT
The indicator is quite straight forward in its application, providing users with targets that are often filled as they are seen as market imbalance.
Just applying it to your chart will provide the existing Fair Value Gaps. MTF Confluence is helpful in seeing what is happening on the macro perspective.
█ SUGGESTION
My suggestion for clarity is to use a different color to some degree between the MTF and Current TF as Opposed to text, keeps the chart clear.
█ LIMITATIONS OF PINE (Please read)
I see many users going on different indicators with MTF in mind and trying to use it for LTF data e.g. 1hour chart, and selecting 5min in chart settings.
This is not recommended by the team themselves and should be noted for use always use HTF: www.tradingview.com
To understand how to use fair value gaps I recommend learning about the subject some more, searching online will provide you resources. The internet is your friend when learning. All the best.

Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detector Fair Value Gap (FVG) is an imbalance in price action that occurs when there is a strong displacement (big movement) in the market, leaving a gap between wicks. This gap represents an area where price moved too quickly, and liquidity was not fully filled.
Traders use FVGs as potential areas where price might retrace and react before continuing in the original direction.
ICT Candle Block (fadi)ICT Candle Block
When trading using ICT concepts, it is often beneficial to treat consecutive candles of the same color as a single entity. This approach helps traders identify Order Blocks, liquidity voids, and other key trading signals more effectively.
However, in situations where the market becomes choppy or moves slowly, recognizing continuous price movement can be challenging.
The ICT Candle Block indicator addresses these challenges by combining consecutive candles of the same color into a single entity. It redraws the resulting candles, making price visualization much easier and helping traders quickly identify key trading signals.
FVGs and Blocks
In the above snapshot, FVGs/Liquidity Voids, Order Blocks, and Breaker Blocks are easily identified. By analyzing the combined candles, traders can quickly determine the draw on liquidity and potential price targets using ICT concepts.
Unlike traditional higher timeframes that rigidly combine lower timeframe candles based on specific start and stop times, this indicator operates as a "mixed timeframe." It combines all buying and all selling activities into a single candle, regardless of when the transactions started and ended.
Limitations
There are currently TradingView limitations that affect the functionality of this indicator:
TradingView does not have a Candle object; therefore, this indicator relies on using boxes and lines to mimic the candles. This results in wider candles than expected, leading to misalignment with the time axis below (plotcandle is not the answer).
There is a limit on the number of objects that can be drawn on a chart. A maximum of 500 candles has been set.
A rendering issue may cause a sideways box to appear across the chart. This is a display bug in TradingView; scroll to the left until it clears.
Imbalance FVG SIBI BISIImbalance Detection Script
Author: © teshmi9z
Script Name: Imbalance FVG
Version: Pine Script® v5
Description:
This script detects and highlights imbalances on the chart, areas where price movement has created a gap without immediate return, signaling potential zones of future support or resistance.
The script identifies two types of imbalances:
Bullish Imbalance: Occurs when the low of two bars ago is less than or equal to the previous bar's open, and the current bar's high is greater than or equal to the previous bar's close.
Bearish Imbalance: Occurs when the high of two bars ago is greater than or equal to the previous bar's open, and the current bar's low is less than or equal to the previous bar's close.
These imbalances are visualized as semi-transparent yellow boxes on the chart, which can be adjusted for transparency.
Parameters:
Transparency (FVG): Adjust the transparency of the yellow boxes, from 0 (opaque) to 100 (fully transparent).
Usage:
This script helps traders quickly identify and visualize potential reversal zones or areas of interest on the chart. It’s a useful tool for pinpointing where significant price reactions may occur.

🔹 Overlay Feature: Plots directly on the price chart for seamless integration and analysis.
🌟 Quick Guide to Using the Volumetric Fair Value Gaps Indicator:
🛠 Add the Indicator: Add the indicator to favourites and set it up with your desired settings.
📊 Market Analysis: Watch for the appearance of colored boxes (blue for bearish, gray for bullish) which represent the fair value gaps. These are high-probability areas for reversals or continuations. FVGs with higher volume are implied to induce a stronger reaction on price.
🔔 Alerts: Set up alerts to notify you when new gaps are detected, ensuring you never miss out on potential trades!
🛠 How It Works:
The Volumetric Fair Value Gaps (VFVG) indicator identifies significant price gaps that are not just based on price action but are also substantiated by volume, which are often overlooked in typical analyses. It operates by comparing the current candle’s price range against historical averages and is calculated over a user-defined period, displayed with volume for further insights. For a gap to be recognized as significant (either bullish or bearish), it must exceed a certain size relative to these averages, which can be adjusted for sensitivity using the provided settings. Bullish gaps are identified when the current low is higher than the second previous high after surpassing the threshold, and bearish gaps are marked when the current high is below the second previous low, similarly surpassing the threshold. This dual-confirmation (volume and price deviation) approach minimizes false signals and enhances the reliability of identified gaps.
Maximize your trading strategy with the VFVG Indicator by AlgoAlpha and turn those gaps into opportunities! 🌈✨
Order-Block Detector ICT/SMT + FVG + SignalsOrderBlock-Finder
This script shows order-blocks (OB) and fair-value-gaps (FVG). Additionaly there are entry signals for OB and FVG. The Dist-Parameter tell how many candles should exist between the beginning of the OB or FVG and the pullback.
Order-Blocks
An order block in trading typically refers to a significant grouping of buy or sell orders at a particular price level within a financial market. These blocks of orders can influence price movement when they are executed. Here's a breakdown:
Buy Order Block: This occurs when there's a large concentration of buy orders at a specific price level. It indicates a significant interest among traders to purchase the asset if the price reaches that level.
Sell Order Block: Conversely, a sell order block happens when there's a notable accumulation of sell orders at a particular price level. This suggests that many traders are willing to sell the asset if the price reaches that level.
Impact on Price: Order blocks can influence price movement because when the market approaches these levels, the orders within the block may be triggered, leading to increased buying or selling pressure, depending on the type of block. This surge in trading activity can cause the price to either bounce off the level or break through it.
Support and Resistance: Order blocks are often associated with support and resistance levels. A buy order block may act as support, preventing the price from falling further, while a sell order block may serve as resistance, hindering upward price movement.
Fair-Value-Gap
The fair value gap in trading refers to the difference between the current market price of an asset and its calculated fair value. This concept is often used in financial markets, especially in the context of stocks and other securities. Here's a breakdown:
Market Price: The market price is the price at which an asset is currently trading in the market. It is determined by the interaction of supply and demand forces, as well as various other factors such as news, sentiment, and economic conditions.
Fair Value: Fair value represents the estimated intrinsic value of an asset based on fundamental analysis, which includes factors such as earnings, dividends, cash flow, growth prospects, and prevailing interest rates. It's essentially what an asset should be worth based on its fundamentals.
Fair Value Calculation: Analysts and investors use various methods to calculate the fair value of an asset. Common approaches include discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis, comparable company analysis (CCA), and dividend discount models (DDM), among others.
Fair Value Gap: The fair value gap is the numerical difference between the calculated fair value of an asset and its current market price. If the market price is higher than the fair value, it suggests that the asset may be overvalued. Conversely, if the market price is lower than the fair value, it indicates that the asset may be undervalued.
Trading Implications: Traders and investors often pay attention to the fair value gap to identify potential trading opportunities. If the market price deviates significantly from the fair value, it may present opportunities to buy or sell the asset with the expectation that the market price will eventually converge towards its fair value.
Daily Gaps & Trapped PositionsThis script builds substantially upon the default Gaps script provided by Tradingview. Functionality was added to allow users to decide what price from the previous session is used to determine a daily gap, added support for showing gaps across all timeframes up to the daily time frame, and also allow gaps to be shown even with ETH enabled on the chart. This script provides support across normal securities, futures, and also crypto.
Users can decide between the following selections to determine if a daily gap has formed:
- Previous Session Close
- Previous Session High/Low
- Last RTH Candle High/Low
The other larger piece that was added is something called trapped positions or what some folks familiar with Market Profile would call "single prints". They could also be considered FVGs but they are a specific subset of FVGs as these must from above or below the current session's high/low.
Single prints form above or below a current session's high/low and can be considered an area where price has moved too fast in that area and price will most likely return to these areas at a later point in time. In some teachings, these are also looked at as "trapped shorts" (lighter blue box color) or "trapped supply" (yellow orange box color) which creates an area where there will be potential support (trapped shorts) or resistance (trapped supply) when this area is revisited in the future. Adding these to your chart will simply provide additional areas of interest where you may see buying or selling.
Both gaps and trapped positions have the following options:
- Show only active gaps/trapped positions. Selecting this will only show areas where price has not completely traded through the box.
- Close gaps/trapped positions partially. If this is selected, it will reduce the box size as price is traded through the area. If it is not selected, the box will only disappear once price has traded through the entire box completely.
There are some additional settings that allow you to tailor how many boxes show up on the chart. These settings are as follows:
- Max number of boxes. This setting will only plot up to this number of gaps/trapped positions.
- Minimum Deviation. This will prevent gaps/trapped positions from showing if they are too small relative to average across that last 14 periods.
- Limit Max Box Trail Length (bars). If checkbox is selected, the box will stop being extended after X number of bars given in this input.
Balanced Price Range (BPR)This script finds BPR's, which some simply refer to as a "double Fair Value Gap" (FVG). In a BPR, there is an overlapping vertical area between a recent bullish and bearish FVG. You may tune the parameters to filter out smaller FVG's or BPR's, as well as how far back the indicator must look to find a matching pair.
