HTF Fair Value Gap
By LuxAlgoSep 21, 2023
HTF Fair Value Gap detects fair value gaps on a higher timeframe of your choosing and keeps them in front of you while you execute on a lower one. Background shading flags every higher timeframe gap as it occurs (green for bullish, red for bearish) while the most recent gap is rendered as a candle offset to the right of price, its dashed lines marking the gap's upper and lower boundaries and its wicks recording price's deviations from those boundaries since formation. A Status dashboard completes the picture, reporting whether the gap has been mitigated.
How to Trade the HTF Fair Value Gap?
- Green background: a bullish higher timeframe gap has printed, momentum context that favors long-side ideas on the trading timeframe.
- Red background: the bearish equivalent, flagging downside imbalance from above your chart.
- Dashed boundary lines: the most recent gap's edges are natural reference levels for entries, stops, and targets as price rotates back into the zone.
- Solid border on the FVG candle: the gap remains unmitigated. The imbalance is still open, and the level retains its draw on price.
The wicks on the projected candle deserve attention: they summarize post-formation excursions from the gap's boundaries, a compact read on whether the gap is holding within the ongoing trend or being ground down.
