💎GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing the new Fair Value Gap Oscillator (FVG Oscillator) indicator! This unique indicator identifies and tracks Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) in price action, presenting them in an oscillator format to reveal market momentum based on FVG strength. It highlights bullish and bearish FVGs while enabling traders to adjust detection sensitivity and apply volume and ATR-based filters for more precise setups. For more information about the process, check the "📌 HOW DOES IT WORK" section.



Features of the new FVG Oscillator:

1. Fully Customizable FVG Detection
   
2. An Oscillator Approach To FVGs
   
3. Divergence Markers For Potential Reversals
   
4. Alerts For Divergence Labels
   
5. Customizable Styling
   

📌HOW DOES IT WORK?
Fair Value Gaps are price gaps within bars that indicate inefficiencies, often filled as the market retraces. The FVG Oscillator scans historical bars to identify these gaps, then filters them based on ATR or volume. Each FVG is marked as bullish or bearish according to the trend direction that preceded its formation.

An oscillator is calculated using recent FVGs with this formula :
1. The Oscillator starts as 0.
2. When a new FVG Appears, it contributes (FVG Width / ATR) to the oscillator of the corresponding type.
3. Each confirmed bar, the oscillator is recalculated as OSC = OSC * (1 - Decay Coefficient)

The oscillator aggregates and decays past FVGs, allowing recent FVG activity to dominate the signal. This approach emphasizes current market momentum, with oscillations moving bullish or bearish based on FVG intensity. Divergences are marked where FVG oscillations suggest potential reversals. Bullish Divergence conditions are as follows :
1. The current candlestick low must be the lowest of last 25 bars.
2. Net Oscillator (Shown in gray line by default) must be > 0.
3. The current Bullish FVG Oscillator value should be no more than 0.1 below the highest value from the last 25 bars.

Traders can use divergence signals to get an idea of potential reversals, and use the Net FVG Oscillator as a trend following marker.



🚩UNIQUENESS
The Fair Value Gap Oscillator stands out by converting FVG activity into an oscillator format, providing a momentum-based visualization of FVGs that reveals market sentiment dynamically. Unlike traditional indicators that statically mark FVG zones, the oscillator decays older FVGs over time, showing only the most recent, relevant activity. This approach allows for real-time insight into market conditions and potential reversals based on oscillating FVG strength, making it both intuitive and powerful for momentum trading.

Another unique feature is the combination of customizable ATR and volume filters, letting traders adapt the indicator to match their strategy and market type. You can also set-up alerts for bullish & bearish divergences.



⚙️SETTINGS

1. General Configuration

Decay Coefficient -> The decay coefficient for oscillators. Increasing this setting will result in oscillators giving the weight to recent FVGs, while decreasing it will distribute the weight equally to the past and recent FVGs.

2. Fair Value Gaps

Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for FVG Zone Invalidation.

Zone Filtering -> With "Average Range" selected, algorithm will find FVG zones in comparison with average range of last bars in the chart. With the "Volume Threshold" option, you may select a Volume Threshold % to spot FVGs with a larger total volume than average.

FVG Detection -> With the "Same Type" option, all 3 bars that formed the FVG should be the same type. (Bullish / Bearish). If the "All" option is selected, bar types may vary between Bullish / Bearish.

Detection Sensitivity -> You may select between Low, Normal or High FVG detection sensitivity. This will essentially determine the size of the spotted FVGs, with lower sensitivies resulting in spotting bigger FVGs, and higher sensitivies resulting in spotting all sizes of FVGs.

3. Style

Divergence Labels On -> You can switch divergence labels to show up on the chart or the oscillator plot.
