FVG & IFVG Indicator for MT5 - Free - [TradingFinder]
The Fair Value Gap (FVG) indicator for the MetaTrader 5 trading platform is a unique tool for identifying essential liquidity zones based on the ICT trading strategy. FVGs typically form after sharp, one-sided price movements, where, due to rapid volatility, some prices still need to be filled. As a result, prices tend to return and fill these unfilled zones.
