How it works
Spot Institutional Order Flow with Precision
The Inverse Fair Value Gap Indicator automatically identifies key price imbalances where institutional traders show their hand, giving you high-probability trading opportunities in the futures market.
- 1. Bearish-to-Bullish Reversals
-
When downward momentum stalls at a bearish FVG and price breaks above it, the zone transforms into bullish territory. These powerful flip zones, highlighted by the indicator, reveal where smart money switches from selling to buying – providing clear, low-risk long entry signals on retests.
- 2. Bullish-to-Bearish Reversals
-
When upward momentum exhausts at a bullish FVG and price closes decisively below it, institutional sentiment shifts. The indicator pinpoints these critical reversal zones where previous support transforms into resistance, offering high-probability short entries with precise invalidation levels.
- 3. Bullish Support Zones
-
For bullish FVGs, the indicator marks zones where price often respects the midpoint, creating optimal bounce points for long trades. These institutional demand zones frequently produce strong continuation moves.
- 4. Bearish Resistance Zones
-
When bearish FVGs form, they create institutional supply zones where selling pressure typically increases. These key resistance levels offer precise entry points for short positions with defined risk levels.
Key Benefits
Trade with Confidence Using Fair Value Gaps
Institutional traders leave their footprints in the market through Fair Value Gaps. Our NT8 Inverse FVG indicator helps you identify and capitalize on these powerful signals.
- Based on ICT Trading Methodology
-
The Inverse FVG Indicator is built on principles from the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology, which focuses on identifying institutional order flow and market inefficiencies. By marking fair value gaps that meet specific ICT criteria, this indicator helps you spot those price imbalances.
- Anticipate Price Movements
-
FVGs act as magnets for price, with unfilled gaps often drawing price back to them. By identifying these zones early, you can anticipate future price movements with remarkable accuracy.
- Optimize Risk/Reward
-
By focusing on institutional fair value gaps, you can place precise stop losses just beyond key levels and set targets at the next significant FVG, dramatically improving your risk-to-reward ratio.
Use Cases
3 Powerful Ways to Trade Fair Value Gaps
Our NT8 Inverse FVG indicator creates multiple high-probability trading opportunities for futures day traders that use smart money concepts.
Mean Reversion Strategy
When a new FVG forms during rapid price movement, it creates an institutional order imbalance that often acts as a magnet. Enter trades as price shows the first signs of reversal, capitalizing on the market's tendency to fill these inefficiencies within the same session.
- Target: The opposite edge of the FVG for quick scalps
- Best for: Counter-trend opportunities in liquid market hours
- Ideal for ES, NQ, and other high-volume futures contracts
Trend Continuation Strategy
When an FVG forms in the direction of the prevailing trend and price retraces to test this level, institutional traders often step in. Enter when price respects the FVG level with confirmation like a momentum candle or volume surge for high-probability continuation trades.
- Target: The next significant price level or 1:2 risk-reward minimum
- Best for: Morning trend days following economic releases
- Especially effective when aligning with key intraday support/resistance
Breakout Confirmation Strategy
FVGs frequently form during the early stages of powerful breakouts. When price creates an FVG while breaking significant levels, it reveals institutional commitment to the move. Enter in the direction of the breakout using the FVG as your protective stop reference.
- Target: Next major technical level or previous session high/low
- Best for: Opening range breakouts and news-driven momentum
- Perfect for capturing the explosive first hour of trading

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the Inverse Fair Value Gap Indicator
- What exactly is a Fair Value Gap?
- A Fair Value Gap (FVG) is a price inefficiency that occurs when price moves quickly in one direction, creating an imbalance between buyers and sellers. Specifically, it's identified when the low of the first candle doesn't overlap with the high of the third candle in a three-candle sequence, indicating a zone where institutional traders have created a vacuum in price.
- What's the difference between regular FVGs and Inverse FVGs?
- Regular FVGs form when price makes a sharp move, creating a gap in the direction of the move. Inverse FVGs occur when a regular FVG fails to hold and price closes beyond it, flipping the zone's polarity. Our indicator clearly distinguishes between these with different colors, allowing you to identify both potential reversal and continuation zones.
- How do I adjust the indicator for different instruments?
- The 'Min FVG Size' setting lets you filter out smaller gaps based on the instrument you're trading. For larger point-value instruments like NQ, the default setting of 5 points works well. For ES, you might prefer 1-2 points, while for smaller instruments you can adjust accordingly. This customization ensures you only see meaningful gaps relevant to your specific market.
- How long do the FVG zones remain visible on my chart?
- The 'Bars Active' setting (default: 30) controls how many bars the FVG will remain on your chart. You can increase this number if you want to track longer-term FVGs, or decrease it to focus only on recent price inefficiencies. This is particularly useful for adapting to different trading styles from scalping to day trading.
- Can I display only Inverse FVGs or regular FVGs?
- Yes, the 'Show Regular FVGs' setting allows you to toggle between showing both types or only Inverse FVGs. Some traders prefer to focus exclusively on Inverse FVGs for reversal trades, while others use both types for a complete view of potential support/resistance zones. You can easily switch between these views based on your trading strategy.
- Does the indicator work on all futures markets?
- The Inverse FVG indicator works effectively on all futures markets with sufficient liquidity and volatility, including ES, NQ, YM, CL, and more. It's particularly powerful on markets where institutional traders are active and create notable price inefficiencies.
- Do FVGs always get filled?
- While the majority of FVGs eventually get filled (studies suggest 70-85% fill rate), not all do, especially in strongly trending markets. The indicator helps you identify the highest probability FVGs by highlighting factors like volume confirmation and multi-timeframe alignment.
- What timeframes work best with this indicator?
- The indicator works across all timeframes, but it's particularly effective on 1-minute to 15-minute charts for day trading futures. Many traders find value in using multiple timeframes simultaneously—using higher timeframes to identify major FVGs that might serve as critical reversal zones, and lower timeframes for precise entry timing.
