FVG Sessions

By LuxAlgoMay 4, 2023

FVG Sessions narrows the imbalance map to the one gap session traders emphasize most: the first fair value gap (FVG) of each trading session. That opening imbalance is highlighted and extended until the session ends, the surrounding session range is outlined, and mitigated gaps switch to a transparent color so inversions are easy to track.

How to Trade the FVG Sessions?

  • First session gap: the extended area serves as a session-long reference for support and resistance, capturing the opening imbalance the market must resolve.
  • Transparent shading: the gap has been mitigated, a cue to reassess bias and watch whether the area now acts in inverse fashion.
  • Session range outline: frames how far price has traveled within the session, giving the gap its context.
  • One gap per session: by design only the first imbalance is plotted, keeping attention on the reaction ICT-style analysis weights most heavily instead of drowning it among minor gaps.

The tool is built for intraday charts, where session boundaries and their opening imbalances can be read bar by bar.

What the FVG Sessions Shows

Beyond the shaded gap and session outline, the indicator ships with a set of alerts so its levels keep working while you are away from the chart:

  • Bullish/Bearish FVG: the session's first gap has formed in the stated direction.
  • Bullish/Bearish FVG Mitigation: the session's first gap has been filled.
  • Price Within FVG: the market has entered the gap area.
  • Price Cross FVG Average: price has crossed the gap's average level, a potential breakout cue.
