First FVG Custom Time RangeFirst FVG — Opening Range Fair Value Gap Detector
Smart Money Opening Imbalance Strategy Tool
This script automatically detects and highlights the first Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms between 9:30 and 10:00 AM Eastern Time (New York session open) — a critical period often referred to as the Opening Range. It’s designed for Smart Money traders looking to isolate early-morning inefficiencies that may influence market behavior throughout the trading day.
🔍 What This Script Does:
Automatically Detects the First FVG in the Opening Range
Scans price action between 9:30 and 10:00 AM ET and identifies the first valid bullish or bearish FVG that forms.
Only one FVG is shown per day — ensuring a clean, focused view.
Draws a Visual Zone
Once detected, the FVG zone is extended forward on the chart (customizable duration).
A labeled zone helps users track how price reacts to it throughout the session.
Optional Retest Alerts
Alerts you when price re-enters the zone — a potential reaction point used by SMC traders.
Customization Options
Set your preferred session time window
Adjust zone duration (in bars)
Customize label font size, colors, and visibility
Enable/disable alert on retest
📈 Why the First FVG Matters:
Time-Sensitive Setup: The first FVG typically forms no earlier than 9:31 AM ET and represents a potential “time distortion” or imbalance zone created by aggressive market participants during the open.
Behavioral Study: Many traders journal how price behaves around this zone each day — whether it acts as support, resistance, or gets traded through later in the session.
Predictive Value: Observing how this zone is respected or broken can provide anticipatory insight into intraday price action, rather than reactive analysis.
Great for New Traders: This opening FVG is often recommended as a starting reference point for building trade models and understanding how institutional imbalances unfold.
🚀 What Makes It Unique:
This tool doesn’t spam your chart with every FVG. It laser-focuses on a single, time-bound zone backed by institutional logic — the first presented imbalance of the day during the opening range.
Use it to:
Monitor price behavior around early inefficiencies
Plan journal entries and pattern recognition
Align intraday setups with a high-probability SMC model
Whether you’re scalping, journaling market structure, or refining entries based on liquidity behavior — this script helps you make the first 30 minutes count.

Twitter Model ICT [TradingFinder] MMXM ERL D + FVG + M15 MSS/SMT🔵 Introduction
The Twitter Model ICT is a trading approach based on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) models, focusing on price movement between external and internal liquidity in lower timeframes. This model integrates key concepts such as Market Structure Shift (MSS), Smart Money Technique (SMT) divergence, and CISD level break to identify precise entry points in the market.
The primary goal of this model is to determine key liquidity levels, such as the previous day’s high and low (PDH/PDL) and align them with the Fair Value Gap (FVG) in the 1-hour timeframe. The overall strategy involves framing trades around the 1H FVG and using the M15 Market Structure Shift (MSS) for entry confirmation.
The Twitter Model ICT is designed to utilize external liquidity levels, such as PDH/PDL, as key entry zones. The model identifies FVG in the 1-hour timeframe, which acts as a magnet for price movement. Additionally, traders confirm entries using M15 Market Structure Shift (MSS) and SMT divergence.
Bullish Twitter Model :
In a bullish setup, the price sweeps the previous day’s low (PDL), and after confirming reversal signals, buys are executed in internal liquidity zones. Conversely, in a bearish setup, the price sweeps the previous day’s high (PDH), and after confirming weakness signals, sells are executed.
Bearish Twitter Model :
In short setups, entries are only executed above the Midnight Open, while in long setups, entries are taken below the Midnight Open. Adhering to these principles allows traders to define precise entry and exit points and analyze price movement with greater accuracy based on liquidity and market structure.
🔵 How to Use
The Twitter Model ICT is a liquidity-based trading strategy that analyzes price movements relative to the previous day’s high and low (PDH/PDL) and Fair Value Gap (FVG). This model is applicable in both bullish and bearish directions and utilizes the 1-hour (1H) and 15-minute (M15) timeframes for entry confirmation.
The price first sweeps an external liquidity level (PDH or PDL) and then provides an entry opportunity based on Market Structure Shift (MSS) and SMT divergence. Additionally, the entry should be positioned relative to the Midnight Open, meaning long entries should occur below the Midnight Open and short entries above it.
🟣 Bullish Twitter Model
In a bullish setup, the price first sweeps the previous day’s low (PDL) and reaches an external liquidity level. Then, in the 1-hour timeframe (1H), a bullish Fair Value Gap (FVG) forms, which serves as the price target.
To confirm the entry, a Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the 15-minute timeframe (M15) should be observed, signaling a trend reversal to the upside. Additionally, SMT divergence with correlated assets can indicate weakness in selling pressure.
Under these conditions, a long position is taken below the Midnight Open, with a stop-loss placed at the lowest point of the recent bearish move. The price target for this trade is the FVG in the 1-hour timeframe.
🟣 Bearish Twitter Model
In a bearish setup, the price first sweeps the previous day’s high (PDH) and reaches an external liquidity level. Then, in the 1-hour timeframe (1H), a bearish Fair Value Gap (FVG) is identified, serving as the trade target.
To confirm entry, a Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the 15-minute timeframe (M15) should form, signaling a trend shift to the downside. If an SMT divergence is present, it can provide additional confirmation for the trade.
Once these conditions are met, a short position is taken above the Midnight Open, with a stop-loss placed at the highest level of the recent bullish move. The trade's price target is the FVG in the 1-hour timeframe.
🔵 Settings
Bar Back Check : Determining the return of candles to identify the CISD level.
CISD Level Validity : CISD level validity period based on the number of candles.
Daily Position : Determines whether only the first signal of the day is considered or if signals are evaluated throughout the entire day.
Session : Specifies in which trading sessions the indicator will be active.
Second Symbol : This setting allows you to select another asset for comparison with the primary asset. By default, "XAUUSD" (Gold) is set as the second symbol, but you can change it to any currency pair, stock, or cryptocurrency. For example, you can choose currency pairs like EUR/USD or GBP/USD to identify divergences between these two assets.
Divergence Fractal Periods : This parameter defines the number of past candles to consider when identifying divergences. The default value is 2, but you can change it to suit your preferences. This setting allows you to detect divergences more accurately by selecting a greater number of candles.
The indicator allows displaying sessions based on various time zones. The user can select one of the following options :
UTC (Coordinated Universal Time)
Local Time of the Session
User’s Local Time
Show Open Price : Displays the New York market opening price.
Show PDH / PDL : Displays the previous day’s high and low to identify potential entry points.
Show SMT Divergence : Displays lines and labels for bullish ("+SMT") and bearish ("-SMT") divergences.
🔵 Conclusion
The Twitter Model ICT is an effective approach for analyzing and executing trades in financial markets, utilizing a combination of liquidity principles, market structure, and SMT confirmations to identify optimal entry and exit points.
By analyzing the previous day’s high and low (PDH/PDL), Fair Value Gaps (FVG), and Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the 1H and M15 timeframes, traders can pinpoint liquidity-driven trade opportunities. Additionally, considering the Midnight Open level helps traders avoid random entries and ensures better trade placement.
By applying this model, traders can interpret market movements based on liquidity flow and structural changes, allowing them to fine-tune their trading decisions with higher precision. Ultimately, the Twitter Model ICT provides a structured and logical approach for traders who seek to trade based on liquidity behavior and trend shifts in the market.
ICT Open Range Gap & 1st FVG (fadi)In his 2024 mentorship program, ICT detailed how price action interacts with Open Range Gaps and the initial 1-minute Fair Value Gap following the market open at 9:30 AM.
What is an Open Range Gap?
An Open Range Gap occurs when the market opens at 9:30 AM at a higher or lower level compared to the previous day's close at 4:14 PM, primarily relevant in futures trading. According to ICT, there is a statistical probability of 70% that the price action will close 50% or more of the Open Range Gap within the first 30 minutes of trading (9:30 AM to 10:00 AM).
What is the First 1-Minute Fair Value Gap?
ICT places significant emphasis on the first 1-minute Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms after the market opens at 9:30 AM. The FVG must occur at 9:31 AM or later to be considered valid. This gap often presents key opportunities for traders, as it represents a temporary imbalance between supply and demand that the market seeks to correct.
Understanding and leveraging these patterns can enhance trading strategies by offering insights into potential price movements shortly after market open.
ICT Open Range Gap & 1st FVG
This indicator is engineered to identify and highlight the Open Range Gaps and the first 1-minute Fair Value Gap. Furthermore, it functions across multiple timeframes, from seconds to hours, catering to various trading preferences. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for traders who favor higher timeframes or wish to observe these patterns' application at broader intervals.
Settings
The Open Range Gap indicator offers flexible display settings. It identifies the quadrants and provides optional color coding to distinguish them. Additionally, it tracks the "fill" level to visualize how far the price action has progressed into the gap, enhancing traders' ability to monitor and analyze price movements effectively. By default, the Open Range Gap will stop extending at 10:00 AM; however, there is an option to continue extending until the end of the trading day.
The 1st Fair Value Gap (FVG) can be viewed on any timeframe the indicator is active on, offering various styling options to match each trader's preferences. While the 1st FVG is particularly relevant to the day it is created, previous 1st FVGs within the same week may provide additional value. This indicator allows traders to extend Monday's 1st FVG, marking the first FVG of the week, or to extend all 1st FVGs throughout the week.

Effective FVG Indicator - ImranDescription:
The Effective FVG Indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to identify Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) in financial markets. FVGs occur when there is a significant gap between the closing price of one session and the opening price of the next session, often indicating a potential reversal point. This indicator uses volume and price movement criteria to confirm and mark these gaps effectively.
Key Features:
Fair Value Gap Detection : Identifies both bullish and bearish FVGs based on significant gaps in price.
Volume Confirmation : Confirms FVGs with high volume, ensuring that the gap is not due to a lack of liquidity.
Price Imbalance : Ensures that the gap is accompanied by a large price movement within the session, indicating strong market sentiment.
Buy/Sell Signals : Marks bullish FVGs with a green "BUY" label below the bar and bearish FVGs with a red "SELL" label above the bar.
Background Highlighting : Highlights the background with a semi-transparent green or red color when a valid FVG is detected, making it easy to spot significant gaps.
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.
Inverse FVG with Rejections [TFO]This indicator is made to look for Inverse Fair Value Gaps (IFVGs) and show rejections from relevant areas. Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are created when there is an energetic move that leaves a gap between the preceding and following candle's wicks. When that area is violated, we may consider that area as an Inverse FVG, treating it along the lines of a "support turned resistance" type setup with proper context.
Once a Fair Value Gap (FVG) is found with sufficient user-defined displacement, it is saved until price fully closes through that area, at which point it becomes an IFVG, which is also saved until price once again closes through that area.
Users can select a specific time period from which to look for and save FVGs, such as during the New York trading session in the following example.
Lastly, users can enable rejections that look for swing lows in bullish FVGs/IFVGs and swing highs in bearish FVGs/IFVGs. The following picture shows an instance of rejections from both regular and inverse FVGs, meaning the pivots were formed in a mutually shared area between a FVG and IFVG.
Multi-Timeframe FVG [TFO]The goal of this indicator is to find Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) that overlap on multiple timeframes. FVGs are already meant to be “sensitive” areas where one might expect price to react from, therefore FVGs that overlap on multiple timeframes could provide even more confluence that there may be a reaction in said area (with proper context).
Mitigation Type allows users to select how FVGs should be mitigated, either by wick or by completely closing through the area.
The displacement option helps to filter out smaller FVGs by looking for areas where price ran rather quickly (causing displacement). This is done by comparing the candle that made the FVG to a fractional ATR value, so that one may fine-tune how much “larger” the candle range needs to be, relative to recent price action.
The timeframe alignment option allows users to select how many timeframes must be converging in order to draw FVGs. For instance, with all timeframes selected, a timeframe alignment value of 2 would require that there be overlapping FVGs on 2 or more timeframes. A value of 3 would require that there be overlapping FVGs on all 3 timeframes in order for them to be drawn.
[FrizLabz]FVG Bar
For those of you that like to keep your charts nice and tidy for your Technical Analysis!
FVG = Fair Value Gap
Fair Value Gaps are when impulse movements create an imbalance in price leaving unfilled orders.. they are popular because after one is created we often observe price return to fill these unfilled orders
3 candles make a FVG
When the high/low of most recent candle is lower/high than the low/high of the bar before last
Similar to my other FVG indicator but this one allows you to delete Filled FVGs and have them adjust when filled
Uses a line whose x1 and x2 are on the FVG bar and adjust the size of the FVG with line width because line width on line.new()s doesnt have a cap on line width like plot()s do
Not much too it I made this because a few people were asking if they could delete the FVG after it was Mitigated and since my other uses plots it wasnt possible
so I hope this works for those who were asking about it
hope you enjoy please let me know if you have an idea or find a bug,
Thank You! -

first fvg @joshuuuThis indicator was created to display and alert the user for the first Fair Value Gap (FVG) of up to three trading sessions.
Bullish FVG occurs when the high of the first candle is lower than the low of the third candle, resulting in a price gap between them.
Conversely, a Bearish FVG takes place when the low of the first candle is higher than the high of the third candle, leading to a gap between these prices.
ICT emphasizes on three crucial timeframes: 3-4 am NY, 10-11 am NY, and 2-3 pm NY, collectively referred to as the 'silver bullet' times. The very first FVG formed during these periods can significantly impact the remainder of that trading session.
Building upon these concepts, CasperSMC developed a strategy involving buying/selling the very first FVG and placing a stop order just above/below the candle responsible for creating the FVG.
The strategy aims for a consistent 2-to-1 Reward-to-Risk ratio (2RR).
This indicator serves to support the strategy by not only displaying those fvgs but also sending alerts, reducing the need for constant screen monitoring.
MTF FVGThis script finds Imbalance (Fair Value Gap (FVG)) on multi timeframes.
If needed all TF can be used at once: 1, 3, 5, 15, 30, 45, 60, 120, 180, 240, D, W.
It finds FVG on any desired TF that is greater or equal than TF on the chart.
FVG stands for fair value gap, which is a three-candle structure that indicates an imbalance or inefficiency in the market. An imbalance means that the buying and selling is not equal, and there is a gap between the fair value and the market value of an asset. A bullish FVG shows that the market value is lower than the fair value, and a bearish FVG shows the opposite.
FVG takes place in a series of 3 candles when the middle candle gaps up or down. This signals strong buying or selling pressure in the direction of the gap. When a gap occurs the wicks of the candles do not overlap each other.

skX FVG Enhanced Indicator [1m,5m] skX FVG Indicator
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are particularly effective for scalping altcoins due to their tendency to fill price inefficiencies. These gaps occur during strong momentum moves where price leaves an 'empty' zone that often acts as a magnet for price to return to. In the volatile alt market, these gaps frequently present high-probability scalping opportunities.
Why FVGs Work in Alts:
• Quick price movements create more gaps
• Higher volatility increases gap frequency
• Institutional algorithms tend to fill these inefficiencies
• Works especially well in lower timeframes (1-5m)
Key Features:
✓ Automatic FVG detection with size filtering
✓ Smart timeframe adaptation (1m, 5m, Custom settings)
✓ Trend detection using 8/21/55 EMA system
✓ Dynamic TP/SL levels based on ATR
✓ Risk:Reward ratio automation
✓ Visual signals that stick to price levels
✓ Clear information display panel
✓ Built-in alerts system
How to Use:
1. Select your preferred timeframe (1m or 5m recommended)
2. Watch for triangle signals (▲ bullish, ▼ bearish)
3. Confirm with trend direction (shown in panel)
4. Use provided TP/SL levels for trade management
5. Set alerts for new FVG formations
Settings Explained:
• Auto Mode: Adjusts gap size to timeframe
• Custom Gap Size: Manual gap size control
• ATR Period: Volatility measurement window
• ATR Multiplier: Stop loss distance
• Risk:Reward: Take profit ratio
Best Practices:
• Use in conjunction with support/resistance
• Trade in direction of main trend
• Monitor higher timeframe structure
• Start with recommended settings
• Backtest before live trading
Note: This indicator works best in volatile market conditions and should be used as part of a complete trading strategy.

The "Simple FVG" script is designed for use with TradingView to identify and visually display Fair Value Gaps (FVG) on a trading chart. This indicator highlights both bullish and bearish imbalances based on specific candlestick patterns, helping traders to quickly identify potential trading opportunities.
Key Features:
Bullish and Bearish Imbalances:
Bullish Imbalances: This script identifies bullish imbalances where the price exhibits a gap upward. The conditions for detecting a bullish imbalance are:
The high of the second candle is greater than the high of the first candle.
The low of the third candle is greater than the high of the first candle.
Bearish Imbalances: This script identifies bearish imbalances where the price exhibits a gap downward. The conditions for detecting a bearish imbalance are:
The low of the second candle is less than the low of the first candle.
The high of the third candle is less than the low of the first candle.
Customizable Display:
Bullish Blocks: Users can toggle the display of bullish imbalance blocks with customizable colors and border settings.
Bearish Blocks: Users can toggle the display of bearish imbalance blocks with customizable colors and border settings.
Color and Border Settings: Adjust the color, border color, and border width of the blocks for both bullish and bearish imbalances according to user preferences.
Visual Representation:
Drawing Blocks: The script draws filled boxes on the chart to represent identified imbalances. These blocks span from the start of the first candlestick to the end of the third candlestick, providing a clear visual indicator of the price gap.
How It Works:
Identification Logic:
The script analyzes three consecutive candles to determine if an imbalance exists.
It compares the highs and lows of these candles to establish bullish or bearish conditions.
Drawing Mechanism:
Once an imbalance condition is met, the script calculates the top and bottom levels of the imbalance block based on the high of the first candle and the low of the third candle for bullish imbalances, and vice versa for bearish imbalances.
It then draws these blocks on the chart using the specified colors and border settings.
Usage Instructions:

Automatic Closest FVG with BPRFair Value Gaps are a hugely popular concept and because of that there are numerous indicators available. This one however, was designed to automate the process of actually using them in trading.
Designed with lower time frame entries in mind (though will work on HTF just as well), this indicator automatically draws the closest, non-mitigated FVG, to the current price, cutting out the work of looking for what FVG is relevant.
The indicator also has an option to show when the current nearest pair of FVGs form a BPR or 'balanced price range'.
There are various option for what counts as mitigation, including no mitigation at all, and when mitigated an FVG is no longer considered for proximity searching.

Imbalance(FVG) DetectorImbalance (FVG) Detector
Overview
The Imbalance (FVG) Detector is a technical analysis tool designed to highlight price inefficiencies by identifying Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). These gaps occur when rapid price movement leaves an area with little to no traded volume, which may later act as a zone of interest. The indicator automatically detects and marks these imbalances on the chart, allowing users to observe historical price behavior more effectively.
Key Features
- Automatic Imbalance Detection: Identifies bullish and bearish imbalances based on a structured three-bar price action model.
- Customizable Sensitivity: Users can adjust the minimum imbalance percentage threshold to tailor detection settings to different assets and market conditions.
- Real-time Visualization: Marked imbalances are displayed as colored boxes directly on the chart.
- Dynamic Box Updates: Imbalance zones extend forward in time until price interacts with them.
- Alert System: Users can set alerts for when new imbalances appear or when price tests an existing imbalance.
How It Works
The indicator identifies market imbalances using a three-bar price structure:
- Bullish Imbalance: Occurs when the high of three bars ago is lower than the low of the previous bar, forming a price gap.
- Bearish Imbalance: Occurs when the low of three bars ago is higher than the high of the previous bar, creating a downward gap.
When an imbalance is detected:
- Green Boxes indicate bullish imbalances.
- Red Boxes indicate bearish imbalances.
- Once price interacts with an imbalance, the box fades to gray, marking it as tested.
! Designed for Crypto Markets
This indicator is particularly useful in crypto markets, where frequent volatility can create price inefficiencies. It provides a structured way to visualize gaps in price movement, helping users analyze historical liquidity areas.
Customization Options
- Min Imbalance Percentage Size: Adjusts the sensitivity of the imbalance detection.
- Alerts: Users can enable alerts to stay notified of new or tested imbalances.
Important Notes
- This indicator is a technical analysis tool and does not provide trading signals or financial advice.
- It does not predict future price movement but highlights historical price inefficiencies.
- Always use this tool alongside other market analysis methods and risk management strategies.

Special Extreme Alert!
By analyzing the trends and dimensions, we are able to predict market extremes conditions, especially in pump and dump scenarios. (the bullish or bearish P/D extreme alerts).
Market flip arrow
The arrows trigger to indicate when the market flips to bullish (green) or bearish (red) conditions. note that this arrow is just a market flip confirmation and it it triggered by market trends, it does not come one time and sometimes later after market trigger conditions had been met.
circled in white.
Buy or sell potential {The tiny yelow(sell) and blue(buy) triangle}
By analyzing market extreme conditions, market sentiment, and liquidity, the buy/sell potential alert trigger is able to determine the state of the market, This can and should be used in combination with the market flip line (MFL) [the yellow line from , market flip trigger (MFT) (purple line), and market support/resistance line (MSR)(blue line) .
Market flip Line (Blue line) (MFL): the MFL is useful to also understand the market phase; a candle close above the MFL is bullish, while a candle close Below, the MFL is bearish. You are, however, expected to experience market retests and rejections coupled with support and resistance to follow through with the predicted direction. Patience is a valuable virtue in trading.
Extended sell or buy hunt (Red and Green Triangle)
this is real-time triangles indicator just like every other indicator on theis chart that indicates the market direction labeled with buy and sell. Note that the market-extended extreme can occur multiple times in the same direction. Hence, we'll advise having multiple trade entries.
The flip support line
Market Flip Trigger Line (MFTL) (Magenta): When the market crosses and closes below or above the Market Flip Trigger Line, you should wait for a confirmation. a confirmation is usually a retest or rejection of the line. A candle close and reject indicates the market as flip direction and it is going for a correction or major reversal. it is applicable on all timeframe.
As mentioned earlier, if you understand market structure and sentiment, using the uFVG, iFVG, upLQTY, downLQTY and BOS will be easy. however, this is how it works, you may need tohave and expanded readbout market structure for additional knowledge.
upLQTY (Bullish liquidity inducement)
The indicator appear at the close and confirmation on the 3rd candle and it is extended to only appear on 200 bars applicable on all timeframes.
This is a bullish sentiment and liquidty inducement order block that occurs, leading to the break of trend structure and change of character. Meaning the market sentiment as change which is backed up by liquidity in that region, which mostly gets filled, especially on lower timeframes before the price action continues. If price revese breaks and hold above this region, it invalidates the order block. This will always appear when there is a confirmed change of character CHoCH to the bullish side.
downLQTY (Bearish liquidity inducement) The indicator appear at the close and confirmation on the 3rd candle and it is extended to only appear on 200 bars applicable on all timeframes. It is and inverse of the upLQTY.
like order block, these are supply and demand zones that has the potential to change the direction of a trade. This is a bearish order block that occurs, leading to the break of structure and change of character. Meaning there is bearish liquidity yet to be accounted for in the region, which mostly gets filled, especially on lower timeframes before the price action continues. If broken, it invalidates the order block. This will always appear when there is a confirmed change of character from CHoCH to the bearish side.
Fair Value Gap
From general knowledge, FVG also know as Fair value gaps are inbalnace created by a 3 candlestick pattern where the top of the bottom candles doesn't cross the bottom of the top candle. like order block, these are supply and demand zones that has the potential to change the direction of a trade. This mostly indicate the presense of big plays in the market. for STIC indicator, FVG are labeled as listed below;
UFVG, also FVGup, {Colour green box} = bullish imbalance fair value gap
IFVG, aka FVGdown, {Red box} = bearish imbalance fair value gap
OIFVG, {Yellow box, no label} = other imbalances fair value gab
You should not that FG has upper, lower and middle band, any of the this area can be induced and filled by price.
