This is an update to the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) Fair Value Gap (FVG) v0.0.2.3 indicator by gemify.
The image shows the extras I have added.
The Max Lookback Bars was removed because all it did was prevent the indicator from detecting FVG for X bars.
The two primary improvements added is:
Require FVG bars in same direction. When enabled, the three FVG bars must all be up bars for an upward FVG to be detected.
Time Ranges: Pretty self explanatory. Now the FVG can be limited to the three Silver Bullet times, or simply RTH.
Plus several little tweaks internally.
Future wish list improvements:
I'd like to be able to combine two FVG's that are close together into one FVG, but it depends on how worthy I think the technique is for trading. Maybe someone else would like to take this on. It will require redoing the Draw.Rectangle tag and List<> object.
The ATR calculation was fixed. The original code only fed the Close price to the ATR, but it requires High, Low, & Close prices.
If you want to learn how to use a Fair Value Gap, do a search on Youtibe. There are several good videos. That is how I learned, because I did Not create the concept, so please don't ask.
Updates:
v0.0.3.1
In v0.0.3.0 the ending time was supposed to be at midnight local time, but was not consistent. I made the change, because I want the rectangles to end shortly after the market closes.
Other minor code adjustments and/or improvements, such as to the FVG class to improve the CheckFilledFVGs method.
