The Basic Fair Value Gap (FVG) Indicator scans price charts to identify gaps where price moves quickly, leaving an imbalanced zone between candles. It automatically highlights these gaps in blue for bullish and red for bearish scenarios, creating visual markers for potential trading opportunities.

Traders can customize the indicator's parameters, including the maximum number of bars to analyze, box length, and a tick buffer for validating gap closure. The tool updates in real-time and automatically removes filled gaps, ensuring that the chart remains clean and focused on active price imbalances.
