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.

Release Notes:

1. Added Implied Fair Value Gap (I.FVG) - Beta Version
2. Added New Mitigation Type - Engulf, Wherein body close is required for a gap/imbalance to be considered as mitigated. Default is set to "Engulf". Change it to "Mitigate" for the older model.

4. Added alerts for I.FVG

Release Notes:

When price is inside a Box (FVG/VI/GAP/BPR/I.FVG), that particular box will be in spotlight compared to other boxes. It will be a treat to watch :)

Release Notes:

- Added Mid line (C.E.) for FVG Boxes. Toggle on/off enabled.
- Added alerts when price mitigates FVG,GAP, VI and Implied FVG Boxes (Works only when the mitigation type is set to engulf).

Release Notes:

Change in logic for plotting Volume Imbalances (VIs)

Release Notes:

Added new mitigation type for FVG Boxes called "Rebalance" wherein if a FVG is partially rebalanced, only the remaining unfilled range is extended in time.
When it is fully rebalanced (Candle low trading below bullish FVG or Candle high trading above bearish FVG), it stops extending further in time.
Box highlight feature (animation) and alerts will work for this mitigation type.
