Description
Update on how to use FVG on targets and IED.
This indicator is like trading volume profile, top down analysis starting with the daily tf, the center line is the trough of the volume so use 50% between the coloured bands as the point of control it like a Point Of Control.
Wait for the SIBI to form then use the low or high to draw out the levels to expect a reaction.
20min TF is best
The indicator identifies gaps between the open and close of candles and highlights where price has been offered on one side only.
The gap setting is best set at the overnight spread - ie on GBPUSD set to 11 pips min.
The Zone is best set to your particular brokers spread on that pair.
HOW TO USE
All based on the belief that price is being delivered by IPDA ( Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm).
The algorithm is designed to offer price on both sides, this indicator is just a visual way of highlighting where price has only been delivered on one side.
Tips:
Leaving history on you will see that areas have an efficacy at the previous swing and if you are quick enough on the trigger can even play in the 1minTF.
Best to use in traditional top down analysis TF, Weekly / Daily / 1 hr.

Hello eyeballpaul , i have been looking for this indicator for while now. Thank you so much, but I'm having issues, when i apply it on my chart it doesn't show anything. Please help.
