Fair Value Gaps Mitigation Oscillator

The Fair Value Gaps Mitigation Oscillator offers a sophisticated approach to analyzing market imbalances through traditional Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). It's particularly valuable for traders looking to understand and exploit these imbalances, as the oscillator graphically displays the current total un-mitigated FVGs based on a user-defined number, offering insights into market sentiment and trends.

How to Trade the Fair Value Gaps Mitigation Oscillator?

When a Fair Value Gap occurs, it is often interpreted as a strong indicator of market sentiment in the gap's direction. For instance, an upward FVG in an uptrend typically suggests a strong trend continuation, as buyers are generally willing to purchase at increasing prices, indicating substantial demand and positive market sentiment. The Fair Value Gaps Mitigation Oscillator can provide a clear visualization of directional strength in such trends by monitoring the degree to which these gaps are mitigated or remain open.

Enhancing Your Market Analysis

The oscillator output values signify percentages, with each FVG allocated 100% of its width, having potential values ranging from a high of 100 to a low of 0. The "FVG Lookback" input determines how many FVGs the oscillator tracks, scaling these within a range from +1 to -1. A greater "FVG Lookback" value helps identify and anticipate longer-term trend movements. High values of normalized bullish FVG areas typically indicate a robust and sustained uptrend, whereas low values can suggest an intensifying downtrend.

• A value of +1 or -1 implies a full lookback of FVGs, with each either fully un-mitigated or entirely mitigated in the opposite direction.

Mitigation begins when prices close over, under, or within an FVG, reducing the total by the percentage of mitigation. When a new FVG forms, the oscillator generates a histogram bar to represent its width ratio relative to the total un-mitigated FVGs.

• Each bar signifies 100% of the total un-mitigated FVG width.
• The filled portion shows the current FVG's width in proportion to the total.
• A reference 50% hash mark is also present to aid analysis.
