⚙️ HOW TO USE
1. Installation

Click "Add to Chart"
The indicator will appear on your chart overlay

2. Configuration

Open Settings panel (gear icon)
Customize colors, transparency, and filters under respective groups
Adjust minimum size filters to match your trading style and timeframe

3. Interpretation
Order Blocks:
Blue zones = Bullish OB (potential support/demand)
Orange zones = Bearish OB (potential resistance/supply)
Price often reacts strongly when revisiting these zones

Fair Value Gaps:
Green zones = Bullish FVG (potential retracement target in uptrends)
Red zones = Bearish FVG (potential retracement target in downtrends)
Gaps are often "filled" before continuation moves


📈 BEST PRACTICES
Timeframe Recommendations:

15m - 1H charts: Best for intraday trading
4H - Daily charts: Best for swing trading
Higher timeframes produce more reliable zones


Filter Settings:
Lower timeframes: Increase minimum size filters to reduce noise
Higher timeframes: Can use smaller minimum size settings
Adjust based on asset volatility (crypto vs. forex vs. stocks)


⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES

This indicator identifies potential zones but does not guarantee reversals
Always use proper risk management and stop losses
Combine with price action analysis for best results
Not all OBs/FVGs will result in reactions
Past performance does not guarantee future results
