How it works

Simple Yet Powerful Gap Analysis

Our FREE Fair Value Gap Indicator automatically scans your charts for institutional price imbalances, giving you the foundation for professional price action trading.

1. Automatic Gap Recognition

The indicator continuously scans price action for three-candle patterns where the third candle's low doesn't touch the first candle's high (bullish FVG) or where the third candle's high doesn't touch the first candle's low (bearish FVG). These gaps represent areas where institutional orders created rapid price movement, leaving behind unfilled price levels.

Automatic Fair Value Gap Detection

2. Bullish Gap Identification

When the indicator detects an upward price imbalance, it automatically draws a green box from the first candle's high to the third candle's low. These bullish FVGs often act as future support zones where price may bounce during retracements, offering potential long entry opportunities.

3. Bearish Gap Identification

For downward price imbalances, the indicator creates a red box from the first candle's low to the third candle's high. These bearish FVGs frequently become resistance areas where price may stall or reverse during rallies, providing potential short entry setups.

4. Multi-Timeframe Analysis

The indicator works seamlessly across all timeframes, allowing you to identify gaps on higher timeframes for market bias while using lower timeframes for precise entries. This multi-timeframe approach helps align your trades with both short-term and long-term institutional order flow.

Use Cases

3 Ways to Trade with the FREE FVG Indicator

Start implementing these professional trading strategies with our free Fair Value Gap indicator today.

Gap Fill Trading

The most straightforward FVG strategy: wait for price to return to an unfilled gap. When price enters a bullish FVG from above, look for buying opportunities as institutions defend their positions. Conversely, when price rises into a bearish FVG, prepare for potential selling pressure.

  • Risk: Place stops beyond the opposite side of the gap
  • Target: Previous swing high/low or next FVG zone
  • Best in: Trending markets with clear directional bias

Trend Continuation Setups

Use FVGs as continuation patterns within established trends. In an uptrend, bullish FVGs act as 'reload zones' where price often bounces before continuing higher. In downtrends, bearish FVGs provide resistance for adding to short positions.

  • Entry: When price touches the gap with confirming price action
  • Stop: Just beyond the gap for minimal risk
  • Ideal for: Riding strong trends with defined risk

Support/Resistance Identification

FVGs often transform into key support and resistance levels. A bullish FVG that holds multiple tests becomes strong support, while a bearish FVG that repeatedly rejects price confirms resistance. Use these levels for reversal trades or breakout entries.

  • Confirmation: Multiple touches without full gap fill
  • Entry: On successful test with reversal pattern
  • Perfect for: Range-bound markets and key level trading
