Fvg (Fair Value Gap) - is also known as an imbalance. An FVG is an imbalance of orders, for instance, for sellers to complete their trades, there must be buyers and vice versa so when a market receives too many of one kind of order buys or sells, and not enough of the order's counterpart. When the amount is not balanced and too many orders are put in for one direction, it creates an imbalance.
Multi timeframe FVG - this will show the same as above but on the higher timeframe you choose. It’ll show as 2 lines that show the higher timeframe fvg with a filled box that mitigates on entry.

█ HOW TO USE IT
The indicator is quite straight forward in its application, providing users with targets that are often filled as they are seen as market imbalance.
Just applying it to your chart will provide the existing Fair Value Gaps. MTF Confluence is helpful in seeing what is happening on the macro perspective.
█ SUGGESTION
My suggestion for clarity is to use a different color to some degree between the MTF and Current TF as Opposed to text, keeps the chart clear.
█ LIMITATIONS OF PINE (Please read)
I see many users going on different indicators with MTF in mind and trying to use it for LTF data e.g. 1hour chart, and selecting 5min in chart settings.
This is not recommended by the team themselves and should be noted for use always use HTF: www.tradingview.com
To understand how to use fair value gaps I recommend learning about the subject some more, searching online will provide you resources. The internet is your friend when learning. All the best.
FairValueGap FVGWhat is a Fair Value Gap or a Gap?
There may be different explanation or reasons of gaps In Forex, my knowledge says that gaps are not very common and they are filled when ever market gets an opportunity to fill. I am trying to figure out the fair Value gap through this indicator.
Gaps are sharp breaks in price with no trading occurring in between. Gaps can happen moving up or moving down. In the forex
market, gaps primarily occur over the weekend because it is the only time the forex market closes. Gaps may also occur on very
short timeframes such as a one-minute chart or immediately following a major news announcement.
How I calculated the gaps Value?
Calculation Method of Gap used is when (low_bar(current bar)-high_bar(two bars back))>0 and (low_bar(two bars back)-high_bar(current bar))>0
The gaps are represented by the Orange and Lime color Bar height.
Do the gaps need to be filtered?
This is the most important part according to me.
Yes, the gaps need to be filtered, Since there are may gaps one after another ,In This Indicator i have used a logic to filter out unnecessary Gaps.
you will be seeing only major Important gaps which you need to focus on.
How gaps Helps?
Gaps sometimes result in corrective price action. In other words, after the gap occurs prices have a tendency to reverse and “fill” the gap.
This is what is look for.
How to use the setting of the indicator and what do they represent?
This indicator setting has 4 options
1.plot major Filtered FVG of Bullish Candles
When you check this option all major FGV will be filtered based on my logic of filtering the gaps
2.plot major Filtered FVG of Bearish Candles
When you check this option all major FGV will be filtered based on my logic of filtering the gaps
3.Plot Bar size representing the GAPS
The bars(lime and orange color) in front of candle bars are the size of the gap.
4.Plot Lines representing the GAPS
You can also visualize the recent gaps through lines , you will be able to see only 3 to 5 recent gaps through line.(not able to plot
all gaps through line because of the limit, so gaps are represented by the orange and lime color bars)
You can also change the resolution in setting of the indicator to get different time frame FGV.
