Liquidity Voids (FVG)

Liquidity Voids (FVG) maps the ranges price skipped: when a sharp, one-directional move leaves little traded activity behind, the indicator shades that stretch as a bullish or bearish void at the exact levels it covers. Detection builds on fair value gap logic, but a void describes a run of imbalance across a move rather than a single price gap — which is what makes the distribution of voids so useful for reading where a market is under-traded.

How to Trade the Liquidity Voids (FVG)?

• Unfilled void ahead of price: a candidate magnet — voids tend to fill because the one-sided move that carved them left orders unmatched at those levels.
• Void fill in progress: some voids fill within a few bars, others take many periods; treat the fill as a correction opportunity rather than a timed signal.
• Direction from context: read voids alongside higher-timeframe market structure and supply and demand to judge whether a fill is a pullback or a reversal.

The tool sits naturally beside the library's wider smart-money toolset, where voids complete the picture that structure and liquidity levels begin.

Liquidity Voids (FVG) Settings

• Liquidity Voids Threshold: filters detection; 0 applies no filtering, while higher values require a void's width to measure up against a fixed-length ATR.
• Mode: controls the detection and visualization lookback.
• # Bars: sets a custom lookback length when Mode is set to Present.
• Labels Visibility / Filled Liquidity Voids Visibility: toggle void labels and whether filled voids remain drawn.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do liquidity voids tend to fill?

A void forms when price moves so fast that little trading occurs across a range, leaving an inherent imbalance. Price usually returns toward the gap's origin to trade through that range properly — quickly in some cases, over many periods in others.

What pairs well with the void map?

Buyside & Sellside Liquidity marks the resting levels above and below structure, so together you see both the pools likely to be raided and the vacuums likely to be refilled — two halves of the same liquidity story.
