The Fair Value Gap Indicator for MetaTrader 4 (MT4) is a powerful analytical tool that helps traders detect and visualize market imbalances, commonly known as Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). These gaps occur when price moves rapidly in one direction, leaving zones on the chart where little or no trading activity took place.
By highlighting these areas, the indicator allows traders to anticipate potential retracements or continuations, as price often revisits such imbalance zones before resuming its original direction. The Fair Value Gap Indicator automatically marks FVGs on your chart, displaying whether each gap is open, partially filled, or fully mitigated, making it ideal for both novice and professional traders.
In technical analysis, a Fair Value Gap represents an inefficiency between buyers and sellers during a strong price move. The FVG Indicator for MT4 detects these imbalances by analyzing consecutive candlesticks and identifying when a gap exists between their highs and lows.
Bullish FVG: Formed when a strong upward move leaves a gap between the previous candle’s high and the next candle’s low.
Bearish FVG: Formed when price drops sharply, leaving a gap between the previous candle’s low and the next candle’s high.
Once identified, the indicator draws colored zones directly on the chart, visually representing areas where the market may later return to “fill” the imbalance. This makes it easy to monitor liquidity zones and plan strategic entries.
The Fair Value Gap Indicator generates trading signals by highlighting areas where price has moved too quickly to maintain balance. These gaps are often revisited by price, providing high-probability trade setups for both retracement and continuation traders.
Identify a Bullish FVG:
When price moves upward strongly, leaving a gap below.
Wait for price to retest the gap zone before considering a BUY setup.
A successful retest of this area often signals continuation of bullish momentum.
Identify a Bearish FVG:
When price moves downward sharply, leaving a gap above.
Wait for price to revisit the upper imbalance zone to look for SELL entries.
If price rejects the FVG area, it confirms bearish continuation.
Gap Coverage Percentage:
The indicator displays how much of each gap has been filled.
100% coverage means the imbalance is mitigated and no longer valid.
Partial coverage zones remain active and may still attract price movement.
These visual cues allow traders to align their trades with market structure, liquidity levels, and price action confirmation.
