FVG Positioning Average

The FVG Positioning Average is an insightful trading indicator crafted to help traders identify key price levels by averaging recent Fair Value Gap (FVG) initiation points. It leverages the principle that significant market moves—either buying or selling—trigger the formation of FVGs. By calculating the average of initiation prices for each FVG, traders may discern where large market players are positioned.

How to Interpret the FVG Positioning Average Indicator?

The FVG Positioning Average indicator offers a strategic edge by pinpointing potential support or resistance levels, guiding traders on where larger market participants might opt to re-enter or protect their positions. Such insights can be pivotal for adjusting trading entries and exits and refining risk management strategies such as take-profit or stop-loss levels.

The indicator visualizes two lines: the Bull Average and the Bear Average.

• Bull Average: Visible when the price is above this average.
• Bear Average: Visible when the price is below this average.

When exclusivity of one average is noted, it signifies a crucial support or resistance line, expected to remain defended to sustain the prevailing trend. If both averages appear together, it may suggest a competitive push to influence the trend direction.

Observing movements during these scenarios provides valuable foresight into potential market directions, including:

• Continuation or Re-entry into Existing Trends (post weak attempts)
• Trend Reversals (establishing new support or resistance)
• Periods of Consolidation (fluctuating near Bull & Bear Averages)

Detailed Insights into the FVG Indicator

Comprehensive Lookback Types

The indicator features two distinct lookback options:

• Bar Count: Employs bar units to dictate data inclusion, ideal for averages closely aligned with current chart data.
• FVG Count: Utilizes a defined number of FVGs for calculations, offering a broader continuous view, well-suited for longer-term analysis.

Note: Absence of relevant data within the range, particularly when using bar lookback, results in the non-display of lines.

Below is a depiction of the 'FVG Count' display.

Defining Initiation Levels

Initiation Levels mark the exact price points where an FVG begins, representing the last traded prices before a gap emerges.

• Bull Initiation Level: Reflects the lowest point (base) of the FVG.
• Bear Initiation Level: Denotes the highest point (peak) of the FVG.

Visualizing FVG on Charts

All FVGs contributing to current average stipulations are illustrated on the trading chart for user reference.

Note: Users can disable FVG visibility in chart settings by unchecking "Show FVGs on Chart".

Configuration Options

• FVG Lookback: As outlined under 'Lookback Types', determines the quantity of FVGs or Bars considered.
• Lookback Type: Correspondingly defines the approach for lookback analysis.
• ATR Multiplier: Establishes a criterion where FVGs must exceed (ATR * Multiplier) in width for inclusion in calculations, fine-tuning the focus of analysis.
