The Combined Fair Value Gap (FVG-IFVG + SFP) Indicator is one of the essential tools for ICT-style trading, integrating three key concepts: Inverse Fair Value Gap (IFVG), Fair Value Gap (FVG), and Swing Failure Pattern (SFP).
The primary goal of this indicator is to identify liquidity entry zones used by market makers. This indicator detects SFP patterns within the FVG and IFVG zones.
When the price penetrates these areas and absorbs liquidity, it significantly increases the probability of trend reversals.
