Fair Value Gaps Mitigation Oscillator

Fair Value Gaps Mitigation Oscillator condenses the state of recent fair value gaps into a single normalized line. Instead of boxing imbalances on the price panel, it tracks a user-defined number of bullish and bearish gaps, measures how much of each remains unfilled, and scales the running total between +1 and -1, a direct reading of whether the market is defending its imbalances or repairing them.

How to Trade the Fair Value Gaps Mitigation Oscillator?

  • Sustained high values: bullish gap area is staying open. Demand keeps lifting price away from its inefficiencies, typical of a robust uptrend.
  • Deep negative values: bearish gaps dominate and remain unfilled, the signature of an intensifying downtrend.
  • Readings near +1 or -1: the entire lookback is either fully unmitigated in one direction or entirely mitigated in the opposite one: one-sided conditions at their most stretched.
  • Histogram bars: each new gap prints a bar sized as its share of total outstanding gap width, with a 50% hash mark for reference. An outsized bar means a single displacement now dominates the picture.

Mitigation starts when price closes over, under, or within a gap, and the total falls by the mitigated percentage. Reading the line alongside the standard FVG behavior rules helps separate continuation conditions from a market busy repairing itself.
