FVG Indicator

Fair Value Gap Indicator on TradingView: Futures Setup Workflow

FVGs are most useful when aligned with direction, location, and confirmation behavior.

Use fair value gap indicators with directional and structural filters.

Not all FVGs are equal. Bias and location should lead decisions. Confirmation reduces low-quality entries.

Core Use Case

FVG Decision Process

FVG overuse creates noise. Quality improves when you qualify gaps by context and confirmation criteria.

Indicator Workflow

Indicator confluence + execution

Use this guide as your indicator playbook: context first, confluence second, execution last.
