Gap Measure PercentMeasures the gaps between bars - bullish or bearish - as a percent of the underlying's price.
Gap Filling Strategy Gaps are market prices structures that appear frequently in the stock market, and can be detected when the opening price is different from the previous closing price, this is why gaps are also called "opening price jumps". While gaps can occur frequently, some of them are more significant than others, and can be observed when looking at a long term chart.
The following strategy is based on the exploitation of significant gaps occurring during a new session, and posses various options that can return a wide variety of results.
Type Of Gaps And Occurence
I'am not a professional when it comes to gaps, but as you know the stock market close for the day, however it is still possible to place orders, your broker will hold them until the market open back. Once the market reopen the broker execute the pending orders, and when many orders where pending the market register really high volume and the price might differ from the precedent close.
Gaps are generally broken down into four types:
Common : Gaps occurring within a certain price range, mostly occurs during ranging markets.
Break Away : Gaps breaking a support and resistance, making a new higher high/lower low.
Runaway : Gaps occurring within a trend, followed by a continuation of the trend.
Exhaustion : Gaps occurring at the end of a trend, followed by a reversal.
As said before, some gaps are more significant than others, the significance of a gap can be determined by comparing the opening price with the previous high/low price and by looking at volume. Significant up gaps will have an opening price greater than the previous high, while significant down gap will have an opening price lower than the previous low with both high volume accompanying them.
After a gap, when the price go back to the point previous to the gap we say that it has been "filled", this characteristic is what will be exploited in this strategy.
Strategy Rules & Logic
In this strategy, the significance of a gap is determined by the position of the opening price relative to the previous high/low and make sure the bar following the gap don't fill it.
When the setting invert is set to false the strategy interpret the detected gaps as being exhaustion gaps, therefore when an up gap occur a short position is opened, when a down gap occur a long position is opened. When invert is set to true gaps are considered to be runaway or break away gaps, therefore the contrary positions are opened. Positions are exited when the gap has been filled, which in the chart is show'n when the price cross the red level who act as either a take profit (invert = false) or as a stop loss (invert = true).
There are various closing conditions available that the user can select from the "close when" setting.
New Session : This option close all previous positions when the market is in a new session.
New Gap : This option close all previous position when a new gap has been detected.
Reverse Position : This option close all previous position when a contrary position to the current one is opened. This option would reduce the number of trades.
Testing On Some Stocks
The analysis will be tested in different tech stocks with a main TF of 15 minutes with no spread and commissions applied. Default settings will be used. We'll be making our first analysis using AMD, who has recently formed a full reverse HS pattern, where the neckline has been crossed by the price. (by the way i have a bad feeling about it, hey ! feeling filling ! Lame jokes!)
Profit: $ -12.22
Trades: 272
Profitability: 65.07 %
We can see negative results, with an heavily decreasing balance. Using invert would return positive results.
We will now test the strategy on NVDA, the company is one of the biggest when it comes to the Gpu market.
Profit: $ -215.54
Trades: 297
Profitability: 60.27 %
Not better, using invert would of course create better results. Like AMD the balance is heavily decreasing.
Finally we will test the strategy on Seagate technology, a company mostly known for their mechanical hard drives.
Profit: $ -4.32
Trades: 261
Profitability: 65.9 %
Here the balance does not appear so heavily decreasing and even managed to reach back the initial balance before going down again.
Summary
A strategy based on gap filling has been briefly introduced and tested with 3 tech stocks. The results show that using invert option might be better. The advantage of this strategy against ones using technical indicators is that this one does not heavily depend on user settings, which make it way more efficient, this a big advantage of patterns based strategies.
Thx to LucF for helping with the "process_orders_on_close" element, since i had to use closing price i had to remove it tho, was afraid results would differ even more from a more realistic backtest. And thx for those who continuously support me, more cool stuff is coming up.
Thx for reading and i hope you'll have learned something new today !

### Introduction
**Uptrick: FVG Market Zones** is a cutting-edge technical analysis tool designed to identify and visualize Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) within financial markets. This indicator focuses on pinpointing critical price levels where significant gaps occur, which can act as potential support and resistance zones. By integrating advanced volatility analysis and user-configurable parameters, the **Uptrick: FVG Market Zones** provides traders with a robust framework for understanding market dynamics and making informed trading decisions.
### Purpose and Functionality
The primary purpose of the **Uptrick: FVG Market Zones** indicator is to detect and highlight Fair Value Gaps, which are areas on a price chart where there is a significant price movement without any trading activity in between. These gaps can provide critical insights into market behavior, as they often indicate areas where the market has not fully accounted for the supply and demand dynamics. Traders use these zones to anticipate potential reversals, breakouts, or consolidations, making this tool highly valuable for both short-term and long-term trading strategies.
### Unique Features and Originality
The **Uptrick: FVG Market Zones** indicator is distinguished by its focus on FVGs and its ability to integrate this concept into a broader market analysis framework. Unlike other indicators that may offer generalized support and resistance levels, this tool specifically identifies and visualizes gaps based on volatility-adjusted criteria. This precision allows traders to focus on the most relevant market zones, improving their ability to anticipate market movements.
One of the standout features of this indicator is its user-configurable settings, which provide a high degree of customization. This flexibility ensures that traders can tailor the indicator to suit their specific trading style and the particular market they are analyzing. Additionally, the indicator's visualization capabilities are enhanced with customizable colors and gap-filling options, making it easier for traders to interpret and act on the information presented.
### Inputs and Configurations
**Uptrick: FVG Market Zones** comes with several user inputs that allow traders to customize the indicator's behavior and appearance. Each input plays a crucial role in determining how the indicator identifies and visualizes FVGs on the chart. Here’s a detailed breakdown of each input:
1. **FVG Analysis Period (fvgPeriod):**
- **Description:** This input determines the period over which the indicator analyzes the chart for identifying FVGs. By adjusting this value, traders can control how far back in time the indicator looks to detect significant gaps.
- **Default Value:** 25
- **Purpose:** A shorter period may focus on more recent market activity, making the indicator more sensitive to recent price movements. In contrast, a longer period allows the indicator to identify gaps that have remained unfilled for an extended time, potentially acting as stronger support or resistance levels.
2. **Analysis Mode (mode):**
- **Description:** The Analysis Mode input allows traders to choose between different methods of analyzing the chart for FVGs.
- **Options:** "Recent Gaps" and "Extended View"
- **Default Option:** "Recent Gaps"
- **Purpose:**
- **Recent Gaps:** Focuses on the latest significant gaps, providing traders with up-to-date information on the most relevant market zones.
- **Extended View:** Considers a broader range of gap patterns, which can be useful in markets where historical gaps may still influence current price action.
3. **Volatility Sensitivity (volatilityFactor):**
- **Description:** This input adjusts the sensitivity of the indicator to market volatility. It is used in calculating the threshold for identifying FVGs.
- **Default Value:** 0.3
- **Step Size:** 0.1
- **Purpose:** A higher sensitivity will cause the indicator to detect smaller gaps, which might be more frequent but less significant. Lower sensitivity focuses on larger, more impactful gaps, which are less frequent but potentially more powerful in predicting market behavior.
4. **Highlight Market Gaps (showGaps):**
- **Description:** A boolean input that determines whether the identified FVGs should be highlighted on the chart.
- **Default Value:** True
- **Purpose:** This input allows traders to toggle the visualization of FVGs. When enabled, the indicator highlights gaps using colored boxes, making them visually prominent on the chart.
5. **Bullish Highlight Color (bullColor):**
- **Description:** Sets the color used to highlight bullish FVGs (gaps that may indicate support).
- **Default Value:** #00FF7F (a shade of green)
- **Purpose:** The color choice is crucial for quickly distinguishing bullish zones from bearish ones. Green is typically associated with upward price movement, making it intuitive for traders to identify potential support areas.
6. **Bearish Highlight Color (bearColor):**
- **Description:** Sets the color used to highlight bearish FVGs (gaps that may indicate resistance).
- **Default Value:** #FF4500 (a shade of red)
- **Purpose:** Red is commonly associated with downward price movement, making it easy for traders to identify potential resistance areas. This color coding helps in quickly assessing the chart.
7. **Fill Gap Areas (fillGaps):**
- **Description:** A boolean input that determines whether the FVGs should be filled with a color on the chart.
- **Default Value:** True
- **Purpose:** Filling the gap areas provides a more solid visual cue for traders. It enhances the visibility of the gaps, making it easier to spot these zones during fast-paced trading sessions.
8. **Hidden Color (hidden):**
- **Description:** A color input that is used when certain elements should be hidden from the chart.
- **Default Value:** color.rgb(0,0,0,100) (a semi-transparent black)
- **Purpose:** This input is useful for controlling the visibility of certain plots or elements on the chart, ensuring that the indicator remains clean and uncluttered.
### Market Gap Detection
The core functionality of the **Uptrick: FVG Market Zones** indicator lies in its ability to detect Fair Value Gaps. These gaps occur when the price makes a significant jump from one level to another without any trading activity in between. The indicator uses a combination of price action analysis and volatility thresholds to identify these gaps.
- **Volatility Measurement:** The indicator begins by measuring market volatility using the Average True Range (ATR). This volatility measurement is then adjusted by the user-defined sensitivity factor, which determines the threshold for identifying significant gaps.
- **Gap Identification:** The indicator checks for instances where the current low is higher than the high two bars ago (bullish gap) or where the current high is lower than the low two bars ago (bearish gap). These conditions signify a potential FVG.
- **Gap Storage and Management:** Once a gap is identified, it is stored in an array. The indicator also manages the size of these arrays based on the selected analysis mode, ensuring that only the most relevant gaps are considered in the analysis.
### Visualization
Visualization is a key component of the **Uptrick: FVG Market Zones** indicator. By providing clear and customizable visual cues, the indicator ensures that traders can quickly and easily interpret the information it provides.
- **Gap Highlighting:** When enabled, the indicator highlights the identified FVGs on the chart using colored boxes. Bullish gaps are highlighted in green, while bearish gaps are highlighted in red. This color coding helps traders instantly recognize potential support and resistance zones.
- **Gap Filling:** The indicator can also fill the identified gaps with a semi-transparent color. This option enhances the visibility of the gaps, making them more prominent on the chart. Filled gaps are particularly useful for traders who want to keep track of these zones over multiple trading sessions.
- **Gap Averages:** The indicator calculates the average level of the identified gaps and plots these averages as lines on the chart. These lines represent the general area of support or resistance based on the detected gaps, providing traders with a reference point for setting their stop losses or profit targets.
- **Text Labels:** The indicator also labels each FVG with the text "FVG" inside the highlighted area. This feature ensures that traders can easily identify these zones even in charts with dense price action.
### Practical Applications
The **Uptrick: FVG Market Zones** indicator is versatile and can be applied to a wide range of trading strategies across different markets and timeframes. Here are a few examples of how this indicator can be used in practice:
1. **Support and Resistance Trading:**

2. **Gap Filling Strategy:**
- Some traders focus on the concept of gap filling, where the market eventually returns to "fill" the gap created by rapid price movements. The **Uptrick: FVG Market Zones** indicator can
help identify such gaps and anticipate when the market might return to these levels.
3. **Breakout Trading:**
- The indicator can be used to identify breakouts from significant gaps. When the price moves beyond the identified FVGs, it may signal a strong trend continuation, providing an opportunity for breakout traders.
4. **Reversal Trading:**
- By monitoring the signals generated by the indicator, traders can identify potential market reversals. A sell signal after a prolonged uptrend or a buy signal after a downtrend may indicate a reversal, allowing traders to position themselves accordingly.
5. **Risk Management:**
- The average levels of the FVGs can be used to set stop-loss and take-profit levels. By aligning these levels with the FVG zones, traders can improve their risk management practices and enhance their trading discipline.

Malaysian SnR [by DanielM]The Malaysian SnR (Support and Resistance) levels are a popular trading concept that identifies specific price levels on charts which are considered significant for trading decisions. Here's a breakdown of the concepts:
A Levels and V Levels: These refer to specific types of SNR levels:
A Levels: These are formed at the highest points of price movements. The indicator highlights these levels with a red line.
V Levels: These are formed at the lowest points of price movements, typically observed as valleys in chart patterns. The indicator highlights these levels with a green line.
Fresh and Unfresh Levels:
Fresh Levels: These are price levels that have not been touched by a wick since their formation. They are considered more significant because they might provide a stronger reaction when the price touches these levels again.
Unfresh Levels: These are levels that have been touched by a wick since their formation. Each time a level is tested, it is considered less significant because it might offer weaker resistance or support. A level that has been tested can become fresh again if it's crossed by a candle body.
Gaps:
A gap occurs when you have two bullish candles or two bearish candles. It is defined as the area between the close of the first candle and the open of the next one. It is marked by drawing a line at the closing price of the first candle, thus representing the level where the gap was initially observed. The indicator highlights these levels with a blue lines for bullish gaps and violet lines for bearish gaps.
Fresh vs. Unfresh Gaps:
Similar to A and V levels, gaps can be classified as fresh or unfresh. A fresh gap is one that hasn't been touched by a wick after it was created. These are often considered more significant because they may hold stronger as potential support or resistance. Unfresh gaps have been touched by a wick, and they may be considered less significant. A gap that has been tested can become fresh again if it's crossed by a candle body.
Inputs:
Number of bars to look back to detect A levels, V levels, and Gaps.
Allows users to toggle the visibility of only fresh A and V levels.
Allows users to decide whether to display gap levels or not.
Allows users to decide whether to display only fresh gaps.
Allows the users to set the maximum number of A levels, V levels and gaps on the chart.
Fair Value Gap & Gap Profile [BigBeluga]This indicator is designed to help traders identify and utilize fair value gaps on price charts and analyze volume at these points. These gaps, formed by significant price movements, can act as key support and resistance levels. The indicator enhances trading strategies by visually representing these gaps, making it easier for traders to spot potential entry and exit points.
⦿ What Is A Fair Value Gap?
Before diving into the practical use of the Fair Value Gap in trading, it's crucial to have a clear understanding of what it is and how to identify it on your charts. The Fair Value Gap, or FVG , is a widely utilized tool among price action traders to detect market inefficiencies or imbalances. Sometimes you will even see them labeled as inefficiencies by other traders. 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.
The idea behind FVGs is that the market will eventually come back to these inefficiencies in the market before continuing in the same direction as the initial impulsive move. FVGs are important since traders can achieve an edge in the market. Price action traders can also use these imbalances as entry or exit points in the market.
By visually representing gaps and their profile, the Fair Value Gap (FVG) & Gap Profile indicator provides a historical overview of gaps within a specified lookback period, showing the distribution and density of gaps across different price levels. This insight helps traders identify zones where the price tends to move more fluidly, often encountering less resistance. High points on the Gap Profile indicate areas where gaps have occurred frequently in the past, which could serve as potential breakout or breakdown zones.
⦿ Key Features:
● Gap Detection and Visualization:
- Identifies Bullish and Bearish Gaps: Highlights gaps where the price moved significantly up or down along with a volume. Intensivity of color show strength of FVG by volume
- Filter for Significant Gaps: Allows users to filter out insignificant gaps, ensuring only relevant gaps are displayed.
● Customizable Display Options:
- Shows Filled Gaps: Option to display gaps that have been filled, aiding in the analysis of historical price movements.
- Displays Filled Gap Levels: Highlights the levels of filled gaps.
● Gap Profile:
Gap Profile Insight: The Gap Profile feature shows the distribution of gaps over a specified lookback period. High points on the FVG Profile indicate areas with a significant number of gaps in the past. These high points are signs of low resistance for price movement. Consequently, at these points, the price tends to move more easily without encountering strong resistance. Traders can use this information to identify potential breakout or breakdown zones where price action is likely to be more fluid.
● Grab Liquidity Detection:
- Collect liquidity Signals: Plots markers on the chart where price interacts with gap levels, providing potential trade signals based on liquidity.
⦿ How Traders Can Use This Indicator:
- Plan Trades: Use gaps as potential entry and exit points, based on whether the price is approaching, filling, or moving away from a gap.
- Analyze Market Trends: Understand historical price movements by analyzing filled gaps and their impact on current price action.
- Analyze Gap Profile: Identify zones where the price tends to move more fluidly, often encountering less resistance. High points on the Gap Profile indicate areas where gaps have occurred frequently in the past, which could serve as potential breakout or breakdown zones.
- Price imbalance: market will eventually come back to these inefficiencies and fill them. inefficiencies or imbalances in the market usually act as a magnet for price.
By incorporating the Fair Value Gap & Gap Profile indicator into their trading strategy, traders can gain a clearer understanding of market dynamics and make more informed trading decisions.

🔶 USAGE
By default, the indicator displays each feature relevant to the most recent price variations in order to avoid clutter on the chart & to provide a very similar experience to how a user would contruct ICT Concepts by hand.
Users can use the historical mode in the settings to see historical market structure/imbalances. The ICT Concepts indicator has various use cases, below we outline many examples of how a trader could find usage of the features together.
In the above image we can see price took out Sellside liquidity, filled two bearish FVGs, a market structure shift, which then led to a clean retest of a bullish FVG as a clean setup to target the order block above.
Price then fills the OB which creates a breaker level as seen in yellow.
Broken OBs can be useful for a trader using the ICT Concepts indicator as it marks a level where orders have now been filled, indicating a solidified level that has proved itself as an area of liquidity. In the image above we can see a trade setup using a broken bearish OB as a potential entry level.
We can see the New Week Opening Gap (NWOG) above was an optimal level to target considering price may tend to fill / react off of these levels according to ICT.
In the next image above, we have another example of various use cases where the ICT Concepts indicator hypothetically allow traders to find key levels & find optimal entry points using market structure.
In the image above we can see a bearish Market Structure Shift (MSS) is confirmed, indicating a potential trade setup for targeting the Balanced Price Range imbalance (BPR) below with a stop loss above the buyside liquidity.
Although what we are demonstrating here is a hindsight example, it shows the potential usage this toolkit gives you for creating trading plans based on ICT Concepts.
Same chart but playing out the history further we can see directly after price came down to the Sellside liquidity & swept below it...
Then by enabling IFVGs in the settings, we can see the IFVG retests alongside the Sellside & Buyside liquidity acting in confluence.
Which allows us to see a great bullish structure in the market with various key levels for potential entries.
Here we can see a potential bullish setup as price has taken out a previous Sellside liquidity zone and is now retesting a NWOG + Volume Imbalance.
Users also have the option to display Fibonacci retracements based on market structure, order blocks, and imbalance areas, which can help place limit/stop orders more effectively as well as finding optimal points of interest beyond what the primary ICT Concepts features can generate for a trader.
In the above image we can see the Fibonacci extension was selected to be based on the NWOG giving us some upside levels above the buyside liquidity.
🔶 DETAILS
Each feature within the ICT Concepts indicator is described in the sub sections below.
🔹 Market Structure
Market structure labels are constructed from price breaking a prior swing point. This allows a user to determine the current market trend based on the price action.
There are two types of Market Structure labels included:
Market Structure Shift (MSS)
Break Of Structure (BOS)
A MSS occurs when price breaks a swing low in an uptrend or a swing high in a downtrend, highlighting a potential reversal. This is often labeled as "CHoCH", but ICT specifies it as MSS.
On the other hand, BOS labels occur when price breaks a swing high in an uptrend or a swing low in a downtrend. The occurrence of these particular swing points is caused by retracements (inducements) that highlights liquidity hunting in lower timeframes.
🔹 Order Blocks
More significant market participants (institutions) with the ability of placing large orders in the market will generally place a sequence of individual trades spread out in time. This is referred as executing what is called a "meta-order".
Order blocks highlight the area where potential meta-orders are executed. Bullish order blocks are located near local bottoms in an uptrend while bearish order blocks are located near local tops in a downtrend.
When price mitigates (breaks out) an order block, a breaker block is confirmed. We can eventually expect price to trade back to this breaker block offering a new trade opportunity.
🔹 Buyside & Sellside Liquidity
Buyside / Sellside liquidity levels highlight price levels where market participants might place limit/stop orders.
Buyside liquidity levels will regroup the stoploss orders of short traders as well as limit orders of long traders, while Sellside liquidity levels will regroup the stoploss orders of long traders as well as limit orders of short traders.
These levels can play different roles. More informed market participants might view these levels as source of liquidity, and once liquidity over a specific level is reduced it will be found in another area.
🔹 Imbalances
Imbalances highlight disparities between the bid/ask, these can also be defined as inefficiencies, which would suggest that not all available information is reflected by the price and would as such provide potential trading opportunities.
It is common for price to "rebalance" and seek to come back to a previous imbalance area.
ICT highlights multiple imbalance formations:
Fair Value Gaps: A three candle formation where the candle shadows adjacent to the central candle do not overlap, this highlights a gap area.
Implied Fair Value Gaps: Unlike the fair value gap the implied fair value gap has candle shadows adjacent to the central candle overlapping. The gap area is constructed from the average between the respective shadow and the nearest extremity of their candle body.
Balanced Price Range: Balanced price ranges occur when a fair value gap overlaps a previous fair value gap, with the overlapping area resulting in the imbalance area.
Volume Imbalance: Volume imbalances highlight gaps between the opening price and closing price with existing trading activity (the low/high overlap the previous high/low).
Opening Gap: Unlike volume imbalances opening gaps highlight areas with no trading activity. The low/high does not reach previous high/low, highlighting a "void" area.
🔹 Displacement
Displacements are scenarios where price forms successive candles of the same sentiment (bullish/bearish) with large bodies and short shadows.
These can more technically be identified by positive auto correlation (a close to open change is more likely to be followed by a change of the same sign) as well as volatility clustering (large changes are followed by large changes).
Displacements can be the cause for the formation of imbalances as well as market structure, these can be caused by the full execution of a meta order.
🔹 Kill Zones
Killzones represent different time intervals that aims at offering optimal trade entries. Killzones include:
- New York Killzone (7:9 ET)
- London Open Killzone (2:5 ET)
- London Close Killzone (10:12 ET)
- Asian Killzone (20:00 ET)
🔶 Conclusion & Supplementary Material
This script aims to emulate how a trader would draw each of the covered features on their chart in the most precise representation to how it's actually taught by ICT directly.
There are many parallels between ICT Concepts and Smart Money Concepts that we released in 2022 which has a more general & simpler usage:
ICT Concepts, however, is more specifically aligned toward the community's interpretation of how to analyze price 'based on ICT', rather than displaying features to have a more classic interpretation for a technical analyst.
Simplified Gap Strategy with SMA FilterThe Simplified Gap Strategy leverages price gaps as a trading signal, focusing on their significance in market behavior. Gaps occur when the opening price of a security differs significantly from the previous closing price, often signaling potential continuation or reversal patterns.
Key Features:
Gap Threshold:
This strategy requires a minimum percentage gap (defined by the user) to qualify for trading signals.
Directional Trading:
Users can select from various gap types, including "Long Up Gap" and "Short Down Gap," allowing for tailored trading approaches.
SMA Filter:
An optional Simple Moving Average (SMA) filter helps refine trade entries based on trend direction, increasing the probability of successful trades.
Hold Duration:
Positions can be held for a user-defined duration, providing flexibility in trade management.
Statistical Significance of Gaps:
Research has shown that gaps can provide insights into future price movements. According to studies such as those by Hutton and Jiang (2008), price gaps are often followed by momentum in the direction of the gap, indicating that they can serve as reliable indicators for traders. The "Gap Theory" suggests that gaps are filled approximately 90% of the time, emphasizing their relevance in market dynamics (Nikkinen, Sahlström, & Kinnunen, 2006).
Important Note:
This strategy is designed solely for statistical analysis and should not be construed as financial advice. Users are encouraged to conduct their own research and analysis before applying this strategy in live trading scenarios.
By understanding the underlying mechanisms of price gaps and their statistical significance, traders can enhance their decision-making processes and potentially improve trading outcomes.

Smart Money Concepts by WeloTradesThe "Smart Money Concepts by WeloTrades" indicator is designed to offer traders a comprehensive tool that integrates multiple advanced features to aid in market analysis. By combining order blocks, liquidity levels, fair value gaps, trendlines, and market structure analysis, the indicator provides a holistic approach to understanding market dynamics and making informed trading decisions.
Components and Their Integration:
Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks Detection
Functionality: Order blocks represent areas where significant buying or selling occurred, creating potential support or resistance zones. Breaker blocks signal potential reversals.
Integration: By detecting and visualizing these blocks, the indicator helps traders identify key levels where price might react, aiding in entry and exit decisions. The customizable settings allow traders to adjust the visibility and parameters to suit their specific trading strategy.
Liquidity Levels Analysis
Functionality: Liquidity levels indicate zones where significant price movements can occur due to the presence of large orders. These are areas where smart money might be executing trades.
Integration: By tracking these high-probability liquidity areas, traders can anticipate potential price movements. Customizable display limits and mitigation strategies ensure that the information is tailored to the trader’s needs, providing precise and actionable insights.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Functionality: Fair value gaps highlight areas where there is an imbalance between buyers and sellers. These gaps often represent potential trading opportunities.
Integration: The ability to identify and analyze FVGs helps traders spot potential entries based on market inefficiencies. The touch and break detection functionalities provide further refinement, enhancing the precision of trading signals.
Trendlines
Functionality: Trendlines help in identifying the direction of the market and potential reversal points. The additional trendline adds a layer of confirmation for breaks or retests.
Integration: Automatically drawn trendlines assist traders in visualizing market trends and making decisions about potential entries and exits. The additional trendline for stronger confirmation reduces the risk of false signals, providing more reliable trading opportunities.
Market Structure Analysis
Functionality: Understanding market structure is crucial for identifying key support and resistance levels and overall market dynamics. This component displays internal, external, and composite market structures.
Integration: By automatically highlighting shifts in market structure, the indicator helps traders recognize important levels and potential changes in market direction. This analysis is critical for strategic planning and execution in trading.
Customizable Alerts
Functionality: Alerts ensure that traders do not miss significant market events, such as the formation or breach of order blocks, liquidity levels, and trendline interactions.
Integration: Customizable alerts enhance the user experience by providing timely notifications of key events. This feature ensures that traders can act quickly and efficiently, leveraging the insights provided by the indicator.
Interactive Visualization
Functionality: Customizable visual aspects of the indicator allow traders to tailor the display to their preferences and trading style.
Integration: This feature enhances user engagement and usability, making it easier for traders to interpret the data and make informed decisions. Personalization options like colors, styles, and display formats improve the overall effectiveness of the indicator.
How Components Work Together
Comprehensive Market Analysis
Each component of the indicator addresses a different aspect of market analysis. Order blocks and liquidity levels highlight potential support and resistance zones, while fair value gaps and trendlines provide additional context for potential entries and exits. Market structure analysis ties everything together by offering a broad view of market dynamics.
Synergistic Insights
The integration of multiple features allows for cross-validation of trading signals. For instance, an order block coinciding with a high-probability liquidity level and a fair value gap can provide a stronger signal than any of these features alone. This synergy enhances the reliability of the insights and trading signals generated by the indicator.
Enhanced Decision Making
By combining these advanced features into a single tool, traders are equipped with a powerful resource for making informed decisions. The customizable alerts and interactive visualization further support this by ensuring that traders can act quickly on the insights provided.

Bitcoin CME Gap TrackerCME Bitcoin Futures Gaps: What Are They and Why Are They Important?
Gaps are breaks between price candles on charts, illustrating the intervals between the closing price of the previous period and the opening price of the next. For Bitcoin on CME, these gaps arise due to the particular workings of this market.
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies trade 24/7 without breaks. However, CME Bitcoin Futures, like many other financial instruments on traditional exchanges, have weekends and trading pauses. When the Bitcoin market continues to move during weekends or CME closures, and then CME opens on the subsequent trading day, a price disparity can occur, perceived as a gap.
Several studies suggest that in most cases (approximately 70% and more), the market reverts to "close" these gaps. This phenomenon is observed because large liquidity is concentrated at these gap points. There are many unfilled orders in gap zones, placed at specific prices. When the price reaches these levels, it can swiftly react to this "clustering" of orders, potentially leading to the gap's closure.
Therefore, CME Bitcoin Futures gaps not only reflect crucial psychological moments in the market but can also serve as potential entry or exit points, considering the high liquidity in these zones.
Technical Description:
The script is designed to identify gaps in the Bitcoin Futures chart on CME. It automatically detects gaps that appear on Mondays (since CME is closed on weekends) and are larger than the user-specified percentage.
Key Features:
Identification of the weekday to detect gaps that arose on Monday.
Calculation of positive and negative gaps by comparing the highs and lows of the previous candles with the current ones.
Graphical representation of the gaps using lines and labels on the chart.
User Guide:
Add this script to your TradingView chart.
You can adjust the "Show gaps larger than %" parameter to determine the minimum gap size of interest.
Gaps will be automatically displayed on your chart with lines and labels.
Multitimeframe Fair Value Gap – FVG (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Multitimeframe Fair Value Gap – FVG (Zeiierman) indicator provides a dynamic and customizable visualization of institutional imbalances (Fair Value Gaps) across multiple timeframes. Built for traders who seek to analyze price inefficiencies, this tool helps highlight potential entry points, unmitigated gaps, and directional bias using smart volume logic and adaptive visual elements.
A Fair Value Gap (FVG) forms when there's a three-candle sequence in which a market imbalance leaves a "gap" between the wicks of candle 1 and candle 3. These areas are often considered footprints of institutional activity, and this indicator gives you the tools to track them with surgical precision across any timeframe you choose—regardless of the one you're viewing.
This indicator also includes a trend filter powered by a low-pass Butterworth filter, enabling traders to distinguish between countertrend vs. trend-aligned FVGs for more intelligent decision-making. On top of that, it features a dynamic FVG table for live tracking and bull/bear volume power visualization inside each gap, adding powerful clarity to market intent.
█ How It Works
The indicator analyzes the open, high, low, close, and volume of candles from a user-selected timeframe. It identifies Fair Value Gaps based on wick logic and only confirms those that meet customizable strength criteria. Once detected, the indicator visualizes each FVG with dynamically extending boxes, optional buy/sell volume bars, and a real-time mitigation check.
⚪ Multitimeframe Logic
Users can analyze FVGs from a higher or lower timeframe regardless of their current chart.
This is achieved using request.security() to fetch OHLCV data from the chosen timeframe.
⚪ Wick Sensitivity & Impulse Filter
The script measures the wick size of potential FVG candles and compares them to a running average. Only FVGs with wick sizes above a certain sensitivity threshold (user-controlled) are plotted. This ensures only meaningful price dislocations (e.g., strong impulsive moves) are shown, reducing noise.
⚪ Midpoint Mitigation Logic
FVGs are marked as "mitigated" when the price revisits the gap area. Traders can choose whether full gap closure or just a midpoint touch is required. This allows faster reactivity in real-time trading environments.
⚪ Bull & Bear Power – Volume-Weighted Visualization
Every Fair Value Gap box includes sub-bars representing the estimated buy and sell effort that created the gap. These are calculated using the candle's close in relation to its high/low range and volume:
Buy Volume % ≈ effort from low to close
Sell Volume % ≈ effort from high to close
Each sub-bar inside the FVG:
Is color-coded (UpCol for bullish, DnCol for bearish)
Is drawn proportionally to the strength of buyers or sellers
Visually displays who was in control during the imbalance
⚪ FVG Table – Dynamic On-Chart Overview
The indicator includes an optional on-chart table that displays all currently active (unmitigated) FVGs in a side panel format:
Automatic updates as gaps are formed and mitigated
Color-coded rows to show bullish vs. bearish FVGs
Timestamps to know precisely when the gap formed
User-controlled position via Table Left and Table Right
This is a gap watchlist overlay, giving traders a concise view of current inefficiencies without manually scanning the chart.
⚪ FVG Trend Filter (Butterworth Smoother)
Using a two-pole Butterworth low-pass filter, the indicator computes a trendline based on average FVG values, offering a smooth but responsive directional signal.
Passband Ripple (dB): Controls sensitivity and overshoot tolerance
Cutoff Frequency (0–0.5): Sets how quickly the trendline reacts
The trendline helps categorize each FVG:
Trend up → favor bullish FVGs
Trend down → favor bearish FVGs
It adds an extra dimension to FVG entries, helping distinguish between trend-aligned and countertrend signals.
█ How to Use
⚪ Identify Institutional Gaps
Use this tool to identify areas where institutions may have left imbalances behind quickly.
These areas often become:
Strong support/resistance zones
Areas where price might react sharply
Targets for liquidity sweeps or retracements
⚪ React to Trend or Countertrend
The built-in trendline helps categorize each FVG:
Trend up → Bullish FVGs have higher validity
Trend down → Bearish FVGs have higher validity
⚪ Volume Context via Bull/Bear Power
Each Fair Value Gap is more than just a price imbalance — it’s a story of effort and intent. The Bull/Bear Power feature visualizes the buy and sell pressure behind each FVG, helping you understand how the gap was formed and who was in control.
A bullish FVG with a strong buy effort suggests continuation potential — buyers dominated the move.
A bullish FVG with a dominant sell effort could signal a trap or reversal — sellers may have overwhelmed the breakout.
These insights allow you to confirm imbalance strength, spot traps early, and add confidence to entries based on dominant volume profiles.
Instead of viewing gaps as static zones, this feature turns each into a live volume map — a visual breakdown of who moved the market and whether that move had conviction.
⚪ Plan with the FVG Table
The FVG Table acts as your on-chart control center for tracking active imbalances. When enabled, it provides a clear summary of all unmitigated Fair Value Gaps, helping you stay organized and focused during fast-moving sessions.
Track live and historical gaps: See exactly when and where each FVG formed.
Monitor older, still-valid zones: Gaps off-screen but not mitigated remain in play — perfect for anticipating future reactions.
Gauge market bias at a glance: The balance of bullish vs. bearish FVGs helps you understand overall directional pressure.
Plan entries confidently: Use the table to reference all zones for risk management, confluence stacking, or layered execution strategies.
Instead of manually scanning your chart, the FVG Table offers a clean, at-a-glance overview of the market’s inefficiencies — giving you the structure needed to act with precision.

Basic FVGBasic Fair Value Gap (FVG) Indicator
The Basic Fair Value Gap (FVG) Indicator is a tool designed for traders using the TradingView platform to identify and visualize Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on any given chart.
Key Features:
Bullish and Bearish FVG Detection: The indicator automatically detects and highlights both bullish and bearish Fair Value Gaps on the chart. Bullish gaps are highlighted in blue, while bearish gaps are marked in red, with customizable transparency for clear visibility.
Customizable Parameters:
Max Bars Back: Users can set the maximum number of bars to look back in order to find potential FVGs.
Box Length: The length of the FVG box can be adjusted to fit the user's preference, allowing for better visual management on different timeframes.
Tick Buffer for Close Validation: The indicator only considers an FVG filled if the price closes beyond the gap by a customizable tick buffer, ensuring precise gap closure recognition.
Automatic Removal of Filled Gaps: Once an FVG is filled (i.e., the price closes beyond the gap by the defined tick buffer), the corresponding FVG box is automatically removed from the chart. This keeps the chart clean and focused on active gaps.
Real-Time Updates: The indicator updates in real-time, ensuring that traders have the most current information about potential gaps in price, which could signify strong support or resistance levels.
Price Action Analyst [OmegaTools]Price Action Analyst (PAA) is an advanced trading tool designed to assist traders in identifying key price action structures such as order blocks, market structure shifts, liquidity grabs, and imbalances. With its fully customizable settings, the script offers both novice and experienced traders insights into potential market movements by visually highlighting premium/discount zones, breakout signals, and significant price levels.
This script utilizes complex logic to determine significant price action patterns and provides dynamic tools to spot strong market trends, liquidity pools, and imbalances across different timeframes. It also integrates an internal backtesting function to evaluate win rates based on price interactions with supply and demand zones.
The script combines multiple analysis techniques, including market structure shifts, order block detection, fair value gaps (FVG), and ICT bias detection, to provide a comprehensive and holistic market view.
Key Features:
Order Block Detection: Automatically detects order blocks based on price action and strength analysis, highlighting potential support/resistance zones.
Market Structure Analysis: Tracks internal and external market structure changes with gradient color-coded visuals.
Liquidity Grabs & Breakouts: Detects potential liquidity grab and breakout areas with volume confirmation.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG): Identifies bullish and bearish FVGs based on historical price action and threshold calculations.
ICT Bias: Integrates ICT bias analysis, dynamically adjusting based on higher-timeframe analysis.

High Customizability: Offers extensive user input options for adjusting zone detection, color schemes, and structure analysis.
User Guide:
Order Blocks: Order blocks are significant support or resistance zones where strong buyers or sellers previously entered the market. These zones are detected based on pivot points and engulfing price action. The strength of each block is determined by momentum, volume, and liquidity confirmations.
Demand Zones: Displayed in shades of blue based on their strength. The darker the color, the stronger the zone.
Supply Zones: Displayed in shades of red based on their strength. These zones highlight potential resistance areas.
The zones will dynamically extend as long as they remain valid. Users can set a maximum number of order blocks to be displayed.
Market Structure: Market structure is classified into internal and external shifts. A bullish or bearish market structure break (MSB) occurs when the price moves past a previous high or low. This script tracks these breaks and plots them using a gradient color scheme:
Internal Structure: Short-term market structure, highlighting smaller movements.
External Structure: Long-term market shifts, typically more significant.
Users can choose how they want the structure to be visualized through the "Market Structure" setting, choosing from different visual methods.
Liquidity Grabs: The script identifies liquidity grabs (false breakouts designed to trap traders) by monitoring price action around highs and lows of previous bars. These are represented by diamond shapes:
Liquidity Buy: Displayed below bars when a liquidity grab occurs near a low.
Liquidity Sell: Displayed above bars when a liquidity grab occurs near a high.
Breakouts: Breakouts are detected based on strong price momentum beyond key levels:
Breakout Buy: Triggered when the price closes above the highest point of the past 20 bars with confirmation from volume and range expansion.
Breakout Sell: Triggered when the price closes below the lowest point of the past 20 bars, again with volume and range confirmation.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG): Fair value gaps (FVGs) are periods where the price moves too quickly, leaving an unbalanced market condition. The script identifies these gaps:
Bullish FVG: When there is a gap between the low of two previous bars and the high of a recent bar.
Bearish FVG: When a gap occurs between the high of two previous bars and the low of the recent bar.
FVGs are color-coded and can be filtered by their size to focus on more significant gaps.
ICT Bias: The script integrates the ICT methodology by offering an auto-calculated higher-timeframe bias:
Long Bias: Suggests the market is in an uptrend based on higher timeframe analysis.
Short Bias: Indicates a downtrend.
Neutral Bias: Suggests no clear directional bias.
Trend Lines: Automatic trend lines are drawn based on significant pivot highs and lows. These lines will dynamically adjust based on price movement. Users can control the number of trend lines displayed and extend them over time to track developing trends.
Percentile Pricing: The script also plots the 25th percentile (discount zone), 75th percentile (premium zone), and a fair value price. This helps identify whether the current price is overbought (premium) or oversold (discount).
Customization:
Zone Strength Filter: Users can set a minimum strength threshold for order blocks to be displayed.
Color Customization: Users can choose colors for demand and supply zones, market structure, breakouts, and FVGs.
Dynamic Zone Management: The script allows zones to be deleted after a certain number of bars or dynamically adjusts zones based on recent price action.
Max Zone Count: Limits the number of supply and demand zones shown on the chart to maintain clarity.
Backtesting & Win Rate: The script includes a backtesting engine to calculate the percentage of respect on the interaction between price and demand/supply zones. Results are displayed in a table at the bottom of the chart, showing the percentage rating for both long and short zones. Please note that this is not a win rate of a simulated strategy, it simply is a measure to understand if the current assets tends to respect more supply or demand zones.
How to Use:
Load the script onto your chart. The default settings are optimized for identifying key price action zones and structure on intraday charts of liquid assets.
Customize the settings according to your strategy. For example, adjust the "Max Orderblocks" and "Strength Filter" to focus on more significant price action areas.
Monitor the liquidity grabs, breakouts, and FVGs for potential trade opportunities.
Use the bias and market structure analysis to align your trades with the prevailing market trend.
Refer to the backtesting win rates to evaluate the effectiveness of the zones in your trading.

Session Sweeps [LuxAlgo]The Session Sweeps indicator combines ICT-based features for a complete trading methodology involving market sessions, market structure, and fair value gaps to find optimal entry conditions for trading price action.
Traders frequently tend to place stop/limit orders at the high and low points of major trading sessions such as Asian (Tokyo), European (London), and North American (New York), resulting in the establishment of liquidity pools at those particular levels. The Session Sweeps indicator is crafted to recognize and underscore occurrences of session sweeps or liquidity sweeps during these major trading sessions.
🔶 USAGE
Default settings utilize major forex trading sessions, yet users can select their preferred opening and closing times, rename the sessions, or adjust the colors. It's important to note that the specified times for each session align with the respective local timezones: Asian (Tokyo) UTC+9, European (London) UTC, and North American (New York) UTC-5.
If the price briefly crosses either the highest or lowest point of a market session. These movements, aiming at triggering stop losses, suggest potential shifts in the market direction. Detecting such movements is the fundamental purpose and core functionality of the script.
🔹Market Structure Shifts
A Market Structure Shift refers to a change in market direction, either from an uptrend to a downtrend or vice versa. A part of a common entry model when using session sweeps is waiting for the formation of a CHoCH after a session sweep.
🔹Fair Value Gaps
A Fair Value Gap (FVG) holds particular appeal for price action traders, emerging when there are inefficiencies or imbalances in the market, often a result of uneven buying and selling activity. The underlying concept of FVGs is that the market tends to revisit these inefficiencies before resuming its trajectory in alignment with the initial impulsive move.
After the formation of a CHoCH traders can enter a position when the price enters the area of a Fair Value Gap (FVG).
🔹Setup Examples
This entry setup is commonly used by ICT traders and is shared for informational & educational purposes only.
Long Positions (5-Minute Timeframe):
Wait for the previous session's low to be swept.
Look for a Bullish Choch.
Find a Bullish FVG formed by or before the Choch.
Entry Point: At the FVG.
Take Profit (TP): At the session high or aim for a 1:2 Risk-Reward Ratio.
Stop Loss (SL): At the session low or nearest Swing Low.
Take partial profits at intermediate swings, but don’t shift SL prematurely.
Short Positions (5-Minute Timeframe):
Wait for the previous session's high to be swept.
Look for a Bearish Choch.
Find a FVG formed by or before the Choch.
Entry Point: At the FVG.
Take Profit (TP): At the previous session's low or aim for a 1:2 RR.
Stop Loss (SL): At the session high or nearest Swing High.
Take partial profits at intermediate swings, but don’t shift SL prematurely.

Fair Value Gap FinderFunctionality
Detection of Fair Value Gaps:
A bullish Fair Value Gap (FVG Up) is identified when the low of two candles before the current bar (low ) is greater than the high of the current bar (high ).
A bearish Fair Value Gap (FVG Down) is identified when the high of two candles before the current bar (high ) is lower than the low of the current bar (low ).
Color Coding:
Bullish Fair Value Gaps are highlighted in green to indicate potential areas of support.
Bearish Fair Value Gaps are highlighted in red to indicate potential areas of resistance.
Visualization Using Rectangles:
If an FVG is detected, the script creates a rectangle spanning a fixed number of bars (right=bar_index+5) to visualize the price inefficiency.
The rectangle extends from the upper to the lower boundary of the gap and has a semi-transparent fill (bgcolor=color.new(color, 90)) for better readability.
Implementation Details
Variable Initialization: The script defines floating-point variables (fvgUpTop, fvgUpBottom, fvgDownTop, fvgDownBottom) to store the price levels of identified gaps.
Conditional Assignments: When an FVG is detected, the corresponding top and bottom boundaries are assigned to the respective variables.
Box Creation: The box.new function is used to draw a rectangle on the chart, marking the FVG zones for better visualization.

Fair Value Gap [by Oberlunar]Fair Value Gap
This indicator is designed to identify and display Fair Value Gaps (FVG) on the price chart. Fair Value Gaps are areas between candles where the price lacks continuity, leaving a "gap" that can serve as a reference point for price retracements. These zones are often considered important by traders as they represent market imbalances that tend to be "mitigated" (i.e., filled or tested) over time.
Purpose of Publication
This indicator addresses a common gap in FVG indicators. Most existing FVG indicators do not visually distinguish between mitigated (touched) FVGs and those that remain intact. With this indicator:
Mitigated FVGs are clearly displayed with distinct colors, allowing traders to identify which zones have been partially or fully filled by the price.
Unmitigated FVGs remain prominent, representing potential points of interest.
Key Features
Identification of Fair Value Gaps:
A Bullish FVG (upward gap) forms when the high of the three previous candles (candle -3) is lower than the low of the next candle (candle -1).
A Bearish FVG (downward gap) forms when the low of the three previous candles (candle -3) is higher than the high of the next candle (candle -1).
Dynamic Coloring:
Unmitigated FVGs are highlighted with specific colors: green for Bullish and red for Bearish gaps.
When an FVG is "touched" by the price (i.e., mitigated), the color changes:
Yellow-green for mitigated Bullish FVGs.
Purple for mitigated Bearish FVGs.
Handling Mitigated FVGs:
When an FVG is touched by the price, it is visually updated with a different color.
An option can be enabled to "shrink" the mitigated zone, adjusting the box to reflect the remaining untested portion of the gap.
Customization:
Configure the maximum number of FVGs to display on the chart.
Set specific colors for mitigated and unmitigated FVGs.
Choose whether to automatically shrink mitigated zones.
How to Identify Support and Resistance Levels
Support:
Bullish FVGs represent potential support levels, as they indicate areas where the price might return to seek liquidity or fill the imbalance.
An FVG that is repeatedly touched without being fully filled becomes a significant support zone.
Resistance:
Bearish FVGs represent potential resistance levels, indicating zones where the price might stall or reverse direction.
Why a Repeatedly Mitigated FVG is Significant
When an FVG is touched or mitigated multiple times, it means the market recognizes that area as significant. This can happen for several reasons:
Accumulation or Distribution: Institutional traders may use these zones to accumulate or distribute positions without causing excessive market movement.
Presence of Liquidity: FVGs often represent areas with pending orders (stop-losses, limit orders), and the price revisits these zones to seek liquidity.
Market Equilibrium: When an FVG is repeatedly filled, it indicates the market's attempt to balance a demand-supply imbalance. This makes the zone an important level to monitor for potential breakouts or reversals.
