Fair Value Gaps (SMC/ICT)

Fair Value Gaps (SMC/ICT) — TradingATH

Precision. Imbalance. Opportunity.

This advanced indicator automatically detects and visualizes Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) revealing the inefficiencies left in price delivery where institutional order flow has displaced liquidity. Each gap is cleanly mapped, color-coded, and dynamically managed, helping traders identify where price may seek to rebalance in the future.

Engineered for Smart Money Concepts (SMC/ICT) Traders, it delivers a disciplined, minimal, and highly responsive visualization of market inefficiencies — enabling precise alignment with institutional order flow and mitigation behavior.

What You’ll See

• Bullish FVGs represented as soft green zones indicating bullish imbalances where price is likely to revisit for rebalancing.
  
• Bearish FVGs shown in refined red tones, marking bearish inefficiencies and potential short-term premium zones.
  
• Dynamic or Static Mode — choose between continuously updating live zones or static historical boxes extending for a controlled bar length.
  
• Smart Labels displayed within each zone identifying “Bullish FVG (Fair Value Gap)” or “Bearish FVG (Fair Value Gap)” with fully customizable text colors.
  
• Mitigation Lines optionally plotted once price closes through a gap, confirming rebalancing and structural cleanup.
  
• Optional Dashboard providing a clear count of active, mitigated, and total FVGs in both bullish and bearish contexts.
