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.

ICT Imbalances (fadi)ICT Imbalances focuses on highlighting the imbalances described by ICT Se imbalances usually act as a price magnet where price tend to revisit to mitigate the imbalance and can act as support and resistance.
It is important to understand that, while they do act as price magnet, they are not all places for entries. What they do provide, is a price understanding and possible areas of reversal based on the bigger picture and trading strategy.
There are four types of imbalances covered by this indicator:
Fair Value Gap (FVG)
Fair value is when, at any given price, both buy and sell sides are offered. For every up move, there is a down move. Fair value Gap is an imbalance where price moved too quickly before offering both buy side and sell side at a given price.
Implied Fair Value Gap (IFVG)
Implied Fair Value Gap is when the first and third candle have overlapping large wicks. The IFVG is the area between the half point of first and third candles.
Volume Imbalance (V.I.)
Volume imbalance is when the price creates a gap between the close of one candle and the open of the following candle with overlapping wicks.
Gap
An area where price gaps up or down leaving a void where price did not trade in. This is most common on higher timeframes and when one day ends and the next day begins.
Settings
ICT Imbalances provides the following options
- Show or hide specific imbalance to keep the chart clean
- Background color of the box highlighting the imbalance
- Box width in the form of how many candles the box extends to
- Show or Hide the Half Mark of the box, only applies to FVG and IFVG
- Show or hide a Legend that explains which colors represents which imbalance
ICT Implied Fair Value Gap (IFVG) [LuxAlgo]An Implied Fair Value Gap (IFVG) is a three candles imbalance formation conceptualized by ICT that is based on detecting a larger candle body & then measuring the average between the two adjacent candle shadows.
This indicator automatically detects this imbalance formation on your charts and can be extended by a user set number of bars.
The IFVG average can also be extended until a new respective IFVG is detected, serving as a support/resistance line.
Alerts for the detection of bullish/bearish IFVG's are also included in this script.
🔶 SETTINGS
Shadow Threshold %: Threshold percentage used to filter out IFVG's with low adjacent candles shadows.
IFVG Extension: Number of bars used to extend highlighted IFVG's areas.
Extend Averages: Extend IFVG's averages up to a new detected respective IFVG.
🔶 USAGE
Users of this indicator can primarily find it useful for trading imbalances just as they would for trading regular Fair Value Gaps or other imbalances, which aims to highlight a disparity between supply & demand.
For trading a bullish IFVG, users can find this imbalance as an area where price is likely to fill or act as an area of support.
In the same way, a user could trade bearish IFVGs by seeing it as a potential area to be filled or act as resistance within a downtrend.
Users can also extend the IFVG averages and use them as longer-term support/resistances levels. This can highlight the ability of detected IFVG to provide longer term significant support and resistance levels.
🔶 DETAILS
Various methods have been proposed for the detection of regular FVG's, and as such it would not be uncommon to see various methods for the implied version.
We propose the following identification rules for the algorithmic detection of IFVG's:
🔹 Bullish
Central candle body is larger than the body of the adjacent candles.
Current price low is higher than high price two bars ago.
Current candle lower shadow makes up more than p percent of its total candle range.
Candle upper shadow two bars ago makes up more than p percent of its total candle range.
The average of the current candle lower shadow is greater than the average of the candle upper shadow two bars ago.
where p is the user set threshold.
🔹 Bearish
Central candle body is larger than the body of the adjacent candles.
Current price high is higher than low price two bars ago.
Current candle upper shadow makes up more than p percent of its total candle range.
Candle lower shadow two bars ago makes up more than p percent of its total candle range.
The average of the candle lower shadow 2 bars ago is greater than the average of the current candle higher shadow.
where p is the user set threshold.
🔶 SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL
You can see our previously posted script that detects various imbalances as well as regular Fair Value Gaps which have very similar usability to Implied Fair Value Gaps here:
ICT - GAPs and Volume Imbalance
GAPs
Gaps are areas on chart where the price have moved sharply up or down, with no trading in between. Gaps often fill, but they don't have to.
Volume Imbalance
Volume imbalance - determined using 2 candles
Bullish Volume Imbalance - area between the close of 1st candle and the open of 2nd candle
Bearish Volume Imbalance - area between the close of 1st candle and the open of 2nd candle
How to use the indicator:-
When you find imbalance in volume or a GAP in the chart, you may expect price to rebalance it before continuation.
Importantly, GAPs/Imbalances do not always fill. Traders should never assume that a gap/imbalance will fill without understanding the reasons for the gap and monitoring trading activity around the gap.
Pair it with your current bias for better results.
