Fvg
Bullish 1st Breakaway FVG Stop Loss
This indicator provides a defined 3-tier stop loss placement when you want to trade the 1st Bullish Breakaway FVG strategy. The Bullish Breakaway Dual Session FVG indicator is an independent indicator that track all bullish breakaway candles, however this one only tracks the very 1st breakaway candle with a stop loss visual cue.
Introduction of Bullish Breakaway Consolidated FVG:
Inspired by the FVG Concept:
This indicator is built on the Fair Value Gap (FVG) concept, with a focus on Consolidated FVG. Unlike traditional FVGs, this version only works within a defined session (e.g., ETH 18:00–17:00 or RTH 09:30–16:00).
Bullish consolidated FVG & Bullish breakaway candle
Begins when a new intraday low is printed. After that, the indicator searches for the 1st bullish breakaway candle, which must have its low above the high of the intraday low candle. Any candles in between are part of the consolidated FVG zone. Once the 1st breakaway forms, the indicator will shades the candle’s range (high to low).
Session Reset: Occurs at session close.
Choose your own session: use 930 to 1615 for RTH, 1800 to 1615 for ETH. (New York Time Zone)
Repaint Behavior:
If a new intraday (or intra-session) low forms, earlier breakaway patterns are wiped, and the system restarts from the new low.
Product Optimization:
This indicator is designed for CME future product with New York time zone. If you want to trade other products, please adjust your own time session.
Entry:
Long after the 1st Bullish Breakaway Candle in your active session.
However, best position of long is executed by your own trading skill and edge.
Stop Loss: ξ
ξ: This is the 1st stop loss, it is 1 equal size of the breakaway candle below the low.
ξξ: This is the 2nd stop loss, it is 2 equal sizes of the breakaway candle below the low.
L: This is the 3rd stop loss, it is the intraday session low.
Stop loss calculation:
Assuming you enter at the high of the breakaway candle, the SL number is shown as the high minus the stop loss placement.
Last Mention:
If you don't see anything in the indicator, adjust your session to an active session only, and use Tradingview replay function. This indicator is a live indicator with repainting mechanism.
🍒👽 1st FVG MTF 👽🍒The FVGs (Fair Value Gaps) identified at specific times of the day represent areas of high market relevance, as they usually coincide with periods of increased volatility and institutional activity, such as market openings and liquidity shifts (00:00, 9:30 AM, and 1:30 PM). These imbalances often become important support and resistance zones, capable of influencing price direction.
By monitoring these FVGs, traders can anticipate potential market reaction areas, improving the accuracy of technical analysis.
Furthermore, the multi-timeframe (MTF) view makes this reading even more practical and comprehensive. With the indicator, users can see the FVGs from three different timeframes simultaneously, directly on the same chart, without switching between timeframes. This provides a clear and unified perspective of the most relevant imbalance zones across multiple horizons, making decision-making much easier.
True Order Block (OB) True Order Block (OB)
This script automatically detects and plots Order Blocks (OBs) based on the presence of Fair Value Gaps (FVGs).
Only Order Blocks are displayed on the chart.
🔎 How it works
The script looks for Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) according to a relaxed 3-candle definition.
Once an FVG is detected:
For a Bullish FVG → the last bearish candle before the gap is marked as the Bullish Order Block.
For a Bearish FVG → the last bullish candle before the gap is marked as the Bearish Order Block.
OBs are extended into the future until price either:
mitigates the zone (optional auto-removal), or
the number of live OBs exceeds the user’s maximum (FIFO cleanup).
⚙️ User settings
Draw Order Blocks (enable/disable plotting)
Minimum OB length (how far each zone extends initially)
Remove OB after violation (auto delete invalidated zones)
Max active OBs (limit on displayed zones for clarity)
Bullish/Bearish OB colors
✅ Key features
Fully automated OB detection
No clutter – only OBs are plotted (FVG logic hidden in the background)
Smart cleanup: mitigated zones are removed automatically

Bearish Breakaway Dual Session-FVGInspired by the FVG Concept:
This indicator is built on the Fair Value Gap (FVG) concept, with a focus on Consolidated FVG. Unlike traditional FVGs, this version only works within a defined session (e.g., ETH 18:00–17:00 or RTH 09:30–16:00).
See the Figure below as an example:
Bearish consolidated FVG & Bearish breakaway candle
Begins when a new intraday high is printed. After that, the indicator searches for the 1st bearish breakaway candle, which must have its high below the low of the intraday high candle. Any candles in between are part of the consolidated FVG zone. Once the 1st breakaway forms, the indicator will shades the candle’s range (high to low). Then it will use this candle as an anchor to search for the 2nd, 3rd, etc. breakaways until the session ends.
Session Reset: Occurs at session close.
Repaint Behavior:
If a new intraday (or intra-session) high forms, earlier breakaway patterns are wiped, and the system restarts from the new low.
Counter:
A session-based counter at the top of the chart displays how many bullish consolidated FVGs have formed.
Settings
• Session Setup:
Choose ETH, RTH, or custom session. The indicator is designed for CME futures in New York timezone, but can be adjusted for other markets.
If nothing appears on your chart, check if you loaded it during an inactive session (e.g., weekend/Friday night).
• Max Zones to Show:
Default = 3 (recommended). You can increase, but 3 zones are usually most useful.
• Timeframe:
Best on 1m, 5m, or 15m. (If session range is big, try higher time frame)
Usage:
See this figure as an example
1. Avoid Trading in Wrong Direction
• No Bearish breakaway = No Short trade.
• Prevents the temptation to countertrade in strong uptrends.
2. Catch the Trend Reversal
• When a bearish breakaway appears after an intraday high, it signals a potential reversal.
• You will need adjust position sizing, watch out liquidity hunt, and place stop loss.
• Best entries of your preferred choices: (this is your own trading edge)
Retest
Breakout
Engulf
MA cross over
Whatever your favorite approach
• Reversal signal is the strongest when price stays within/below the breakaway candle’s
range. Weak if it breaks above.
3. Higher Timeframe Confirmation
• 1m can give false reversals if new lows keep forming.
• 5m often provides cleaner signals and avoids premature reversals.
Summary
This indicator offers 3 main advantages:
1. Prevents wrong-direction trades.
2. Confirms trend entry after reversal signals.
3. Filters false positives using higher timeframes.
Failed example:
Usually happen if you are countering a strong trend too early and using 1m time frame
Last Mention:
The indicator is only used for bearish side trading.
CHart_This FVGThis script will work on any time frame, and auto plots the classic ICT "fair value gaps", or imbalances, that result from a three candle formation wherein the middle candle body extends beyond the highs and lows of the end candles, leaving no overlap of the first and last candle wicks. Bullish imbalances are green, and bearish are red. Plotted zones will automatically close once a candle closure fully violates the imbalance zone with a close beyond its borders.
IFVG by Toño# IFVG by Toño - Pine Script Indicator
## Overview
This Pine Script indicator identifies and visualizes **Fair Value Gaps (FVG)** and **Inverted Fair Value Gaps (IFVG)** on trading charts. It provides advanced analysis of price inefficiencies and their subsequent inversions when mitigated.
## Key Features
### 1. Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection
- **Bullish FVG**: Detected when `low > high ` (gap between current low and high of 2 bars ago)
- **Bearish FVG**: Detected when `high < low ` (gap between current high and low of 2 bars ago)
- Visual representation using colored rectangles (green for bullish, red for bearish)
### 2. Inverted Fair Value Gap (IFVG) Creation
- **IFVG Formation**: When a FVG gets mitigated (price fills the gap with candle body), an IFVG is created
- **Color Inversion**: The IFVG takes the opposite color of the original FVG
- Mitigated bullish FVG → Creates red (bearish) IFVG
- Mitigated bearish FVG → Creates green (bullish) IFVG
- **Mitigation Logic**: Uses only candle body (not wicks) to determine when a FVG is filled
### 3. Customizable Display Options
- **Show Normal FVG**: Toggle visibility of regular Fair Value Gaps
- **Show IFVG**: Toggle visibility of Inverted Fair Value Gaps
- **Smart FVG Display**: Even when "Show Normal FVG" is disabled, FVGs that are part of IFVGs remain visible
- **Extension Control**: Option to extend FVGs until they are mitigated
### 4. IFVG Extension Methods
- **Full Cross Method**: IFVG remains active until price completely crosses through it (including wicks)
- **Number of Bars Method**: IFVG remains active for a specified number of bars (1-100)
### 5. Visual Mitigation Signals
- **Cross Markers**: Shows X-shaped markers when IFVGs are mitigated
- Green cross above bar: Bearish IFVG mitigated
- Red cross below bar: Bullish IFVG mitigated
### 6. Comprehensive Alert System
- **IFVG Formation Alerts**: Notifications when new IFVGs are created
- **IFVG Mitigation Alerts**: Notifications when IFVGs are filled/mitigated
- **Separate Controls**: Individual toggles for bullish and bearish IFVG alerts
## How It Works
### Step-by-Step Process:
1. **FVG Detection**: Script continuously scans for 3-bar patterns that create price gaps
2. **FVG Tracking**: Each FVG is stored with its coordinates, type, and status
3. **Mitigation Monitoring**: Script watches for candle bodies that fill the FVG
4. **IFVG Creation**: Upon mitigation, creates an IFVG with opposite polarity at the same location
5. **IFVG Management**: Tracks and extends IFVGs according to chosen method
6. **Visual Updates**: Dynamically updates colors and visibility based on user settings
## Use Cases
- **Support/Resistance Analysis**: IFVGs often act as strong support/resistance levels
- **Market Structure Understanding**: Helps identify how market inefficiencies get filled and reversed
- **Entry/Exit Timing**: Can be used to time entries around IFVG formations or mitigations
- **Confluence Analysis**: Combine with other technical analysis tools for stronger signals
## Configuration Parameters
- **Colors**: Customizable colors for bullish/bearish FVGs and IFVGs
- **Extension**: Choose how long to display gaps on the chart
- **Alerts**: Full control over notification preferences
- **Visual Clarity**: Options to show/hide different gap types for cleaner charts
## Technical Specifications
- **Pine Script Version**: 5
- **Overlay**: True (displays directly on price chart)
- **Max Boxes**: 500 (supports up to 500 simultaneous gaps)
- **Performance**: Optimized array management for smooth operation
This indicator is particularly valuable for traders who use **Smart Money Concepts (SMC)** and **Inner Circle Trader (ICT)** methodologies, as it provides clear visualization of how institutional order flow creates and fills market inefficiencies.

• Prevents the temptation to countertrade in strong downtrends.
2. Catch the Trend Reversal

range. Weak if it breaks below.
3. Higher Timeframe Confirmation
• 1m can give false reversals if new lows keep forming.
• 5m often provides cleaner signals and avoids premature reversals.
Failed Trade Example:
This indicator will repaint if a new intraday session low is updated. So it is possible to have a failed trade. Here is an example from the same session in 1m chart. However, if you enter the trade later at another bullish breakaway candle signal. The loss can be mitigated by the profit.
Therefore you should use smaller position size for your 1st trade. You should also considering using 5m chart to avoid 1m bull trap. In this example, if you use 5m chart, you can totally avoid this failed trade.
If you enter the trade, you will see the intraday low is stop loss hunted. You can also see the 1st bullish breakaway candle is super weak. There are a lot of candles below the breakaway candle low, so it is very possible to fail.
In the next chart, you can see the failed traded get stop loss hunted. However you can enter another trade with huge profit to win back the loss from the 1st trade if you follow the rule.
Summary
This indicator offers 3 main advantages:
1. Prevents wrong-direction trades.
2. Confirms trend entry after reversal signals.
3. Filters false positives using higher timeframes.
How to sharp your edge:
1. ⏳Extreme patience⏳: Do not guess the bottom during a downtrend before a confirmed bullish breakaway candle. If you get caught, have the courage to cut loss. This is literally the most important usage of this indicator. Again, this is the most important rule of this indicator and actually the hardest rule to follow.
2. 🛎Better Entry🛎: After a confirmed bullish breakaway, you will always have a good opportunity to enter the trade using established trading technique. Your edge will come from the position size, draw down, stop loss placement, risk/reward ratio.
3. ✂Cut loss fast✂: If you enter a trade according to the rule, but you are still not making profit for a period of time, and the price is below the low of the breakaway candle. It is very likely you may hit stop loss soon (intraday session low). It won't be a bad idea to cut loss before stop loss hit.
4. 🔂Reentry with confidence after stop loss🔂: a stop loss will not invalidate the indicator. If you see a second chance to reenter, you should still follow the trade guide and rule.
5. 🕔Time frame matter🕔: try 1m, 3m, 5m, 10m, 15m time frame. Over time, you should know what time frame work best for you and the market. Higher time frame will reduce the noise of false positive trade, but it comes with a higher stop loss placement and less max profit, however it may come with a lower draw down. Time frame will matter depending on the range of the session. If the session range is small (<0.5%), lower time frame is good. If session range is big (>1%), 5m time frame is better. Remember to wait for candle to close, if you use higher time frame.
Last Mention:
The indicator is only used for bullish side trading.
Fair Value Gap Suite Adrian V1.0.0Brief description
The “FVG Suite” identifies fair value gaps across multiple time units, evaluates them with a displacement score, optionally filters them according to market structure events (BOS/CHOCH), and provides context-based alerts for first touch, partial and full fills, and invalidation. The aim is to show only high-quality imbalances and trade them based on rules.
What makes the script unique (originality/added value)
Displacement score: Strength of the impulse movement as a combination of (body/ATR, range/ATR, volume Z-score).
MTF aggregator: FVGs from higher timeframes are collected, ranked, and displayed as zones on the active chart (including overlap clustering).
Structure context: Optionally, only FVGs after confirmed BOS/CHOCH in the trend direction, including premium/discount evaluation relative to the HTF range.
Adaptive invalidation: FVG expires after candles, opposing BOS or defined time (e.g., end of session).
Session/instrument filter: Time window (e.g., NY/LDN), minimum tick size, ATR-based minimum gap.
Smart fill logic: Distinguishes between first touch, partial fill (≥ %), full fill (100%); alarms per event.
Statistics overlay (optional): Hit rate/expectancy per TF & session for fine-tuning the filters.
How it works (conceptually)
FVG definition (3-candle pattern): Bullish if High < Low (bearish analog). Size = gap span in points.
Quality score:Score = w1*(|Body|/ATR) + w2*(Range/ATR) + w3*(Volume-Z), normalized to 0–100.
MTF scan: List of higher TFs: (customizable). Findings are merged, ranked, and displayed as zones with priority (color/opacity).
Context filter: Only FVGs that emerge after BOS/CHOCH in the direction of the current trend; optional exclusion in premium/discount areas.
Invalidation & alerts: A zone is considered active until the invalidation rule takes effect. Alerts are triggered upon: initial contact, partial/full filling, invalidation.
Important inputs
Min. FVG size: × ATRor ticks/points
Min. displacement score: (0–100)
MTF list:
BOS/CHOCH filter: On/Off (Lookback candles)
Session filter: NY/LDN/Asia (local time, weekend toggle)
Invalidation: maxBars = , Opposite BOS = On/Off, Session End = On/Off
Fill definitions: Partial fill ≥ % of the gap; Full fill = 100%
Overlay options: Zone color/transparency, HTF label, statistics overlay On/Off
Alerts (names & triggers)
FVG Suite – First Touch: Price touches an active FVG zone for the first time.
FVG Suite – Partial Fill: Partial fill ≥ configured threshold.
FVG Suite – Full Fill: Gap completely filled.
FVG Suite – Invalidated: Zone invalidated by rules. (Alert message contains: symbol, TF of the zone, direction, score, size, trigger rule.)
Use (best practices)
Trade in the trend direction with BOS/CHOCH filter; target counter-imbalances/liquidity pools.
Use session filters to avoid news spikes/illiquid periods.
Calibrate parameters for each market/TF (ATR/volume profiles differ).
Limitations
Structure labels can be reevaluated for new highs/lows (repainting of labels, not of FVG finds).
Spreads/news can generate “pseudo fills.”
Backtests/statistics are sample-dependent; no guarantee of results.
Changelog
v1.0 – First release (score model, MTF aggregator, BOS/CHOCH filter, fill alerts).
Credits

Unmitigated Imbalances [TakingProphets] (High Timeframe)Unmitigated Imbalances
Unmitigated Imbalance is designed to automatically detect and display active Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) across multiple higher timeframes and your current chart. It only keeps the ones that remain unmitigated, helping you clearly see where price has “unfinished business” and potential liquidity draw areas. The tool extends these levels forward until they are tagged according to your chosen mitigation criteria, then removes them automatically.
The indicator uses the classic 3-bar FVG structure:
– Bearish FVG forms when the low of the third candle back is above the high of the first candle.
– Bullish FVG forms when the high of the third candle back is below the low of the first candle.
– Each detected gap must meet a minimum size threshold, which is determined automatically from the Sensitivity setting and adjusted for the symbol type.
Higher timeframes (up to 4) can be plotted simultaneously with your current chart’s gaps. The script merges overlapping levels from different timeframes into one clean label, showing all the contributing timeframes together (for example: M15 + H1 + H4). This makes it easy to spot high-confluence levels without cluttering your chart.
Key features
– Multi-timeframe detection: up to 4 custom HTFs plus your current chart.
– Automatic gap size filtering based on chosen Sensitivity (High, Medium, Low).
– Choice of Wick or Close-based mitigation logic.
– Lookback control: 1 Day, 1 Week, 1 Month, or Max.
– Combined labels for overlapping gaps with clear timeframe tags.
– Separate color and style settings for each timeframe’s bullish and bearish gaps.
– Labels can be positioned Left, Right, or Center Above for maximum clarity.
– Automatic line extension until mitigation or until they exceed the lookback period.
How to use
Select your desired higher timeframes in the HTF1–HTF4 settings.
Choose the Sensitivity level to control the minimum gap size detected.
Decide on Wick or Close mitigation according to your trading rules.
Use the Lookback setting to limit how far back the script checks for gaps.
Watch for levels where multiple timeframe labels are stacked — these can carry greater significance.
Incorporate the levels into your existing strategy, using them as context rather than entry signals.
Practical notes
– Current timeframe gaps reset each trading day to keep the chart relevant to intraday bias.
– Higher timeframe gaps remain until mitigated or until the lookback period expires.
– Large lookback periods with multiple HTFs can increase chart load — adjust settings as needed.
– This indicator is a mapping and context tool, not a signal generator. Always apply it alongside your own analysis.

📊 WHAT IS THIS INDICATOR?
The Multi Timeframe Fair Value Gap Indicator Pro is the most advanced FVG detection system on TradingView, designed to identify high-probability institutional supply and demand zones across multiple timeframes simultaneously. This professional-grade tool automatically detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), also known as imbalance zones, liquidity voids, or inefficiency gaps - the exact areas where institutional traders enter and exit positions.
🔍 What Are Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)?
Fair Value Gaps are three-candle price formations that create imbalances in the market structure. These gaps represent areas where buying or selling was so aggressive that price moved too quickly, leaving behind an inefficient zone that price often returns to "fill" or "mitigate." Professional traders use these zones as high-probability entry points.

ICT Confirmed FVG Indicator ICT FVG Indicator (Confirmed by Swings)
Summary
This indicator is designed to identify high-probability Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) by confirming them with market structure. It filters out random imbalances and only highlights the FVGs that are created at the same time as a confirmed ICT Swing High or Swing Low.
The core principle is to connect price imbalances directly to significant shifts in market structure, providing a cleaner and more powerful signal.
What It Does
Identifies Swing Points: Automatically detects and draws confirmed swing highs (resistance) and swing lows (support) on your chart based on the settings you choose.
Finds Fair Value Gaps: It scans the chart for the classic 3-candle FVG pattern (also known as a BISI or SIBI).
Confirms FVGs with Swings: This is the most important feature. The indicator will only draw an FVG box if one of the three candles that created the FVG is also a confirmed swing point. This ensures you are only seeing imbalances that are directly related to a break in market structure.
Invalidates Old FVGs: To keep the chart clean, the indicator will automatically remove an FVG box after the price has fully passed through it a certain number of times (customizable in the settings).
Settings Explained
ICT Swings Settings
Left/Right Strength: Controls the sensitivity of the swing detection. Higher numbers require a more significant, obvious swing point to be confirmed. Lower numbers will identify more minor swings.
Max Swing Lines: Sets the maximum number of swing high and swing low lines to display on the chart at one time.
Swing High/Low Color: Customize the color of the swing point lines.
FVG Settings
Show Bullish/Bearish FVG: Use these checkboxes to turn the bullish (green) or bearish (red) FVG boxes on or off.
Bullish/Bearish FVG Color: Customize the color of the FVG boxes.
FVG Invalidation Threshold: This sets how many times the price can fully close on the other side of an FVG before the box is automatically removed.
Max Active FVGs to Show: Sets the maximum number of FVG boxes to keep on the chart to prevent clutter.
Key Features
High-Probability Signals: Filters out noise by focusing only on FVGs that are confirmed by a shift in market structure.
Clean Visuals: Automatically draws and removes swing lines and FVG boxes to keep your chart uncluttered.
Fully Customizable: Adjust the sensitivity of the swing detection and the appearance of the FVGs to fit your trading style.
Pure ICT Concepts: Built strictly on the principles of Inner Circle Trader for a method-consistent analysis.

Mirror US10YThis TradingView script is designed to automatically detect the asset you are viewing (stock, commodity, or crypto) and, if it matches a long list of supported tickers, overlays a "mirror" subchart. This subchart plots the price action of a related pair—typically the asset divided by the US 10-Year Treasury yield (US10Y), or another relevant macro or sector index. The script also detects and visualizes "Imbalance Fair Value Gaps" (IFVGs) on the subchart, and can trigger alerts when these gaps are filled.
1. Automatic Subchart Detection
The script first checks which symbol you are viewing.
If it matches a list of supported stocks or commodities (e.g., NVDA, TSLA, GOLD), it sets a corresponding subchart pair (e.g., NVDA/US20Y, GOLD/US10Y).
If it’s a crypto asset, it checks both the exchange and the symbol, and sets a subchart like BINANCE:ADAUSDT/US10Y.
If a match is found, it enables plotting for the subchart.
2. Subchart Data Fetching
Once a subchart is selected, the script fetches its OHLCV data (open, high, low, close) and a 200-period ATR (Average True Range) using request.security.
It then plots the subchart’s candlesticks in white (bullish) or red (bearish).
3. IFVG (Imbalance Fair Value Gap) Detection
The script defines custom types and arrays to track bullish and bearish IFVGs and their "invalidation" (when the gap is filled).
It detects IFVGs by looking for price gaps between the current and previous candles, filtered by ATR to avoid noise.
When a gap is detected, it is stored in an array with its coordinates and direction.
4. IFVG Management and Visualization
The script manages the lifecycle of each IFVG: it tracks when a gap is filled (invalidated) and moves it to a separate array.
It draws colored boxes and dashed lines on the chart to visualize the last few IFVGs, using green for bullish and red for bearish.
When a gap is filled, it places a label (▲ or ▼) at the fill point.
5. Alerts
The script sets up two alert conditions: one for a bullish IFVG fill, and one for a bearish IFVG fill.
These can be used to trigger TradingView alerts for trading signals.
6. Debugging and Info Labels
The script displays labels on the chart showing the detected ticker and the subpair being plotted, for clarity.
This indicator is even more reliable when combined with the Mirror 2 indicator, which shows the same system but mostly with the BTC pair in crypto.
Both the Mirror US10Y and Mirror 2 also allow you to see the main inverse pairs in stocks.
Sesiones + FVG + PDH / PDLMarket Sessions: Define and visualize four market sessions (New York, London, Tokyo, Sydney) with options to display ranges, trend lines, averages, VWAP, and highs/lows.
Dashboard: A panel that displays the status of the sessions (active/inactive) and, in advanced mode, the coefficient of determination (R2) of the trend line and the volume for each session.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) / Imbalances: Detect and draw Fair Value Gaps (also known as imbalances or inefficiencies) on multiple time frames, with options to extend them, change their color when tested, and adjust their levels if the price touches them.
Previous Day/Week/Month Levels: Displays the highs and lows of the previous day and week (PDH/PDL, PWH/PWL), as well as the opening prices of the current day, week, and month (DO, WO, MO).
FVG-Bully BearsFVG-Bully Bears Indicator
The FVG-Bully Bears indicator is a powerful tool designed to identify Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on your TradingView charts. FVGs are price gaps that occur when the market moves sharply, leaving areas where little to no trading activity took place. These gaps often act as key support or resistance zones, making them valuable for traders looking to spot potential reversal or continuation points.
This indicator highlights Bullish FVGs (potential support zones) and Bearish FVGs (potential resistance zones) with customizable boxes and labels, helping you visualize these critical price levels with ease.
Features
Bullish and Bearish FVGs: Detects gaps where price has left untested areas, marking bullish (green) and bearish (red) FVGs.
Customizable Display: Choose to show or hide bullish/bearish FVGs, adjust colors, and control box visibility.
FVG Labels: Optional labels on each FVG box to clearly identify bullish or bearish gaps, with adjustable text size.
Delete Filled FVGs: Automatically removes FVGs once price revisits and fills the gap, keeping your chart clean.
Box Extension: Extend FVG boxes into the future (up to 100 bars) to track unfilled gaps over time.
Performance Optimization: Limits the number of displayed FVG boxes (default: 50) to ensure smooth chart performance.
How It Works
Bullish FVG: Identified when the high of a candle two bars ago is lower than the low of the current candle, indicating a sharp upward move.
Bearish FVG: Identified when the low of a candle two bars ago is higher than the high of the current candle, indicating a sharp downward move.
FVGs are drawn as colored boxes (green for bullish, red for bearish) and can include labels for easy identification.
If enabled, filled FVGs (where price revisits the gap) are deleted to reduce chart clutter.
Settings
FVG Settings
Show Bullish FVGs: Enable/disable bullish FVG boxes (default: enabled).
Show Bearish FVGs: Enable/disable bearish FVG boxes (default: enabled).
Bullish FVG Color: Customize the color and transparency of bullish FVG boxes (default: light green).
Bearish FVG Color: Customize the color and transparency of bearish FVG boxes (default: light red).
Max FVG Boxes: Set the maximum number of FVG boxes displayed (default: 50, range: 1–500).
Extend FVG Boxes (Bars): Extend FVG boxes into the future by a specified number of bars (default: 8, range: 0–100).
Show FVG Labels: Enable/disable text labels on FVG boxes (default: enabled).
Label Size: Choose the size of FVG labels (options: Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, Huge; default: Small).
Delete Filled FVGs: Automatically remove FVGs when price fills the gap (default: enabled).
How to Use
Add the FVG-Bully Bears indicator to your TradingView chart.
Customize the settings to match your trading style (e.g., adjust colors, toggle labels, or change box extensions).
Watch for green (bullish) and red (bearish) FVG boxes:
Bullish FVGs: Potential support zones where price may bounce or consolidate.
Bearish FVGs: Potential resistance zones where price may reverse or stall.
Use FVGs in combination with other indicators (e.g., support/resistance, trendlines) for better trade decisions.
If “Delete Filled FVGs” is enabled, filled gaps will disappear, keeping your chart focused on active FVGs.
Ideal For
Swing Traders: Identify key price zones for entries or exits.
Day Traders: Spot intraday support/resistance levels created by rapid price moves.
Price Action Traders: Use FVGs to confirm market structure and potential reversal points.
Notes
For best performance, keep “Max FVG Boxes” at a reasonable value (e.g., 50) to avoid chart lag.
FVGs are most effective on lower timeframes (e.g., 5m, 15m, 1H) but can be used on any timeframe.
Combine with other tools like volume or trend indicators for a complete trading strategy.

[MAD] FVG with LTF-POC/TPOOverview
The Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detector is a precision tool designed to automatically identify, draw, and track market inefficiencies. These gaps, also known as imbalances, often act as powerful magnets for future price action.
This indicator handles the entire lifecycle of an FVG: from its creation and extension, to the moment it is first touched, and through its entire mitigation process. To add an even deeper layer of analysis, it can now optionally plot two types of micro-analysis lines for the middle candle of the FVG pattern: a volume-based Point of Control (LTF-POC) and a time-based Time Price Opportunity (LTF-TPO). These high-precision lines pinpoint the most significant price levels within the imbalance itself.
By providing a clean and objective visualization of these critical price zones, the FVG Detector gives traders a clear framework for spotting high-probability setups and understanding how the market returns to areas of inefficiency to become balanced once again.
█ How It Works
The indicator’s logic is built on precise detection, dynamic visualization, and intelligent state tracking to provide a comprehensive view of market imbalances.
⚪ The FVG Detection Engine
At its core, the indicator uses a classic three-candle pattern to identify FVGs. This mechanical definition removes all subjectivity:
Bullish FVG: A gap is identified when the high of the first candle is lower than the low of the third candle. The space between these two prices creates the bullish FVG.
Bearish FVG: A gap is identified when the low of the first candle is higher than the high of the third candle. The space between these two prices creates the bearish FVG.
⚪ Dynamic Drawing and Mitigation
Once an FVG is detected, the indicator automatically draws a colored box to represent the gap. This box is then managed through its entire lifecycle:
Extension: If enabled, the FVG box extends forward in time with each new candle, acting as a visible, forward-looking zone of interest.
Partial Mitigation Trigger: The moment price first "touches" the gap, the box changes color to signal that it is no longer a fresh, unmitigated zone. The statistics table counts this as a "Partially Mitigated" event.
Shrinking FVG: As price moves further into the gap, the colored box dynamically shrinks, providing a real-time visual of how much of the imbalance has been filled.
Historical Outline: An optional secondary outline box is drawn to preserve the FVG's original size. This outline stops extending when the FVG is first touched, leaving a permanent historical marker.
⚪ Optional LTF Analysis for Added Precision
The indicator can look "inside" the FVG's middle candle to find its most significant price levels.
LTF-POC (Volume-Based): Using data from a lower timeframe, it analyzes the volume profile of the FVG-creating candle to find the single price level from the lower-timeframe bar with the highest trading volume.
LTF-TPO (Time-Based): It also identifies the Time Price Opportunity by dividing the candle's price range into distinct "bins." The script counts how many lower-timeframe price ticks occurred in each bin, and the TPO line is drawn at the center of the busiest bin.
Visual Confluence: These are drawn as distinct horizontal lines (defaulting to orange for POC and yellow for TPO) that extend and are managed alongside the FVG's historical outline, serving as precise levels of interest within the broader FVG zone.
█ Why This Indicator is Different
While many traders can spot FVGs manually, this indicator offers a significant edge through the possibility of the lowertimeframe analysis and showing the syntetic TPO or POCs for the relevant candles.
⚪ Automated and Objective
The market moves fast, and manually drawing FVGs is impractical and prone to error. This tool automates the entire process.
Never Miss a Gap: The detector impartially scans every three-candle sequence, ensuring no FVG is missed.
No Subjectivity: The rules for detection, mitigation, and LTF analysis are based on fixed mathematical models, removing subjective judgment.
Multi-Timeframe Clarity: The indicator works flawlessly on any timeframe, allowing you to maintain a consistent view of market structure.
⚪ Visualizing Market Memory
This tool does more than just draw boxes; it tells a story. Watching a box change color and shrink provides a visual of market dynamics in action. The optional historical outlines and LTF analysis lines build a "map" on your chart, showing where significant reactions and high-liquidity zones occurred in the past, which provides invaluable context for future price movements.
█ How to Use
⚪ Identifying High-Probability Zones
The primary use of the FVG Detector is to identify high-probability zones where price may react.
Entries: Unmitigated (fresh) FVGs can serve as powerful entry zones. Traders may look for price to return to a bullish FVG to take a long position, or to a bearish FVG to take a short position.
Targets: An FVG in your path can also act as a logical profit target. For example, if you are in a long position, you might take profit as price fills a nearby bearish FVG above you.
⚪ Confluence and Confirmation
FVGs are most powerful when they align with other forms of technical analysis. Look for FVGs that have "confluence" with:
Market Structure: A bullish FVG found at a key support level or after a bullish break of structure is a higher-probability setup.
Order Blocks: An FVG that overlaps with a bullish or bearish order block creates a very potent point of interest.
Premium/Discount Zones: FVGs found deep in a premium (for shorts) or discount (for longs) area of a trading range often yield strong reactions.
The LTF Lines (POC & TPO): Use these lines as a source of internal confluence. While the FVG gives you a zone, the POC and TPO give you precise levels within that zone. The POC shows where the highest volume was traded, while the TPO shows where price spent the most time. Confluence between these two lines can signal an extremely strong level.
█ Settings
Max Number of FVGs to Display: Controls how many active FVGs are kept on the chart to prevent clutter and maintain performance.
Extend Unmitigated FVGs: When enabled, FVG boxes will extend to the right until price touches them.
Show Bullish/Bearish FVGs: Toggles the visibility of bullish or bearish FVGs.
Show FVG Labels: Toggles the visibility of the "FVG" text labels.
Keep Mitigated Outlines: If checked, the historical outline box (and its associated POC/TPO lines) will remain on the chart even after the FVG is completely filled.
Show Statistics: Toggles the visibility of the statistics table, which tracks total, partly mitigated, and fully mitigated FVGs.
Show LTF-TPO (Time-Based): Toggles the calculation and display of the Time Price Opportunity line.
Show LTF-POC (Volume-Based): Toggles the calculation and display of the Point of Control line.
Use Custom LTF for Analysis: Check this to manually select a timeframe for the POC/TPO calculation. If unchecked, the script auto-selects a lower timeframe.
Lower Timeframe: The specific lower timeframe to use when the "Custom LTF" box is checked.
Magnifier (Bars per Slice): Controls how the script auto-selects a lower timeframe (higher number = lower timeframe). Only active when "Custom LTF" is unchecked.
█ The Logic Explained
This indicator uses a clear, rules-based system based on mathematical and conditional principles.
The 3-Candle FVG Pattern
The detection engine precisely identifies FVGs by comparing the price extremes of a three-candle sequence. For a bullish FVG, it confirms that the high of the first candle is strictly below the low of the third candle. For a bearish FVG, the low of the first candle must be strictly above the high of the third. This leaves an objective, unfilled gap in the market.
The Mitigation and Shrinking Process
Once an FVG is created, the indicator monitors it on every subsequent bar. The moment a candle's price action enters the FVG's zone, it's flagged as "partially mitigated," and its color changes. The script then continues to track how far price pushes into the gap, dynamically shrinking the box to visually represent the remaining imbalance.
Lower-Timeframe (LTF) Analysis Explained
To add precision, the indicator performs a micro-analysis of the middle candle of the FVG pattern. This is achieved by mathematically deconstructing that single candle using data from a smaller timeframe.
The lower timeframe is determined either manually or automatically via the Magnifier. The Magnifier works by dividing the chart's current timeframe. For example, on a 60-minute chart, a Magnifier of 60 tells the indicator to perform its analysis using 1-minute data (60÷60=1).
Once the LTF data is obtained, two calculations are performed:
LTF Point of Control (Volume-Based): This method seeks the price of maximum commitment. The indicator analyzes the volume of every single lower-timeframe bar within the main candle and identifies the one bar with the highest trading volume. The closing price of that specific high-volume bar is designated as the POC.
LTF Time Price Opportunity (Time-Based): This method finds the price where the market spent the most time trading. The process is a form of price distribution analysis:
The total price range (high to low) of the main candle is measured.
This range is divided into 40 equal price zones, or "bins". For a candle with a $2 range, each bin would represent a price slice of 5 cents
The indicator then counts how many of the lower-timeframe closing prices fall within each of the 40 bins.
The TPO line is drawn at the midpoint of the single bin that contained the most prices, representing the "busiest" price level.
Time-Based Drawing for Accuracy
To ensure perfect alignment across all historical data and chart reloads, all drawings are anchored to the precise timestamp of the bar, not its sequential position on the chart. This robust method guarantees that all zones remain fixed and accurate regardless of how much historical data is loaded.
