Sweeps & IFVGs

Sweeps & IFVGs watches the two reversal events price action traders prize most. It flags every liquidity sweep (price pushing past a prior swing high or low before turning back) and tracks fair value gaps until one fails, at which point it becomes an inverse fair value gap: a zone now watched for the opposite role. Sweep areas can extend across the chart, an ATR-scaled filter admits only meaningful gaps, and alerts fire on both event types.

How to Trade the Sweeps & IFVGs?

• Sweep zones: a marked sweep shows where stops were likely collected; the highlighted area can extend rightward as a reference for later reactions.
• IFVG retests: once a close through the gap confirms the inversion, watch for a reaction when price returns. Support-side interest becomes resistance-side interest, and vice versa.
• Choose your sweep definition: focus strictly on wicks, include break-and-retrace cases, or take both, via the Sweep Options input.
• Size matters: only gaps exceeding the volatility filter, a multiple of ATR, are processed. Minor gaps never reach the chart.

A cap on displayed IFVGs keeps the workspace clean even on gap-prone markets.
