What Are Fair Value Gaps?
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are areas where price moved quickly without much back-and-forth between buyers and sellers. They show up as gaps between bars and often correspond to low volume nodes on volume profile.
Think of them as areas where there wasn't an even battle - price moved fast in one direction because there wasn't enough opposing volume to slow it down. These gaps often get revisited later as potential support or resistance zones.

Advanced Features
📈 Multi-Timeframe Support
Show FVGs from a higher timeframe on your lower timeframe chart. For example, view 15-minute FVGs on a 1-minute chart.
How I Use It: I set the FVG data series to 15 minutes on my lower timeframe charts. This lets me see potential resistance areas from the higher timeframe overlaid on my execution timeframe - super helpful for context.
📊 ATR Impulse Filter
Only show FVGs that happen during strong moves. Uses ATR (Average True Range) to filter out weak or choppy gaps.
Use Case: Focus on FVGs from momentum moves, ignore choppy ranging gaps.
⏰ Time Range Filtering
Set up to 3 custom time ranges for when to show FVGs. For example, only show gaps during London Open, NY Open, or specific hours.
Use Case: Focus on session-specific FVGs when volume is typically higher.
✅ Fill Conditions
Choose how FVGs are marked as "filled": Close Through (more strict) or Touch (less strict). Can hide filled gaps or keep them visible.
Use Case: Strict rules for swing trading, touch-based for scalping.
How Traders Use This
🎯 Target Zones
Use unfilled FVGs as potential target zones or areas to watch. They're a helpful loose guide for where price might revisit.
🛡️ Support & Resistance
Order Blocks and FVGs can act as support and resistance zones. These are areas where price previously moved quickly, and they often get revisited.
⚡ Structural Shifts
When Order Blocks become Breaker Blocks (violated), it can signal a structural shift. Useful for identifying when the market character might be changing.
📐 Confluence Trading
Combine FVGs with other Runic indicators (like Runic Pro) to find high-probability setups where multiple factors align at the same price level.

Common Questions
What are Fair Value Gaps and why do they matter?
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are areas where price moved quickly without much back-and-forth, leaving a gap between bars. They often correspond to low volume nodes - areas where there wasn't an even battle between buyers and sellers, so price moved faster. These gaps often get revisited later as potential support or resistance zones. They're a helpful visual guide for understanding where volume was light during a move.
Can I use this on multiple charts and instruments?
Yes. The license allows you to use the indicator on all charts within your NinjaTrader installation. Works on futures, forex, stocks, and crypto - any instrument supported by NinjaTrader.
What's the difference between Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks?
Order Block: The last opposite-direction candle before an FVG forms. It's the candle that preceded the fast move.
Breaker Block: An Order Block that has been violated (price moved through it in the opposite direction). This can signal a potential structural shift in how price is behaving.
