[TehThomas] - ICT VI / FVG / IFVG / Liquidity

1 มี.ค.

📌 Overview
This TradingView indicator is designed to help traders spot key price inefficiencies and liquidity events based on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts. The script automatically highlights important areas on the chart, such as Volume Imbalances (VI), Fair Value Gaps (FVG), Inverted Fair Value Gaps (IFVG), and Liquidity Sweeps, giving traders a clear view of where price might react.

By marking these zones visually, the indicator serves as a liquidity map, showing where smart money could be targeting orders or rebalancing price action.

🔑 How the Script Works
The indicator detects four major market inefficiencies and liquidity patterns, each offering valuable insights into how price might behave:

1️⃣ Volume Imbalance (VI)

• Bullish VI: When the current candle has higher volume than the previous candle in an upward move, this suggests demand is pushing the price up, creating potential buying opportunities.
  
• Bearish VI: When the current candle has higher volume than the previous candle in a downward move, this suggests supply is pushing the price down, highlighting potential selling opportunities.
  

How to take trades:

• Buy: Enter a long position when a bullish VI appears and the price is near a support zone or key level (such as the previous swing low or FVG).
  
• Sell: Enter a short position when a bearish VI appears and the price is near a resistance zone or key level (such as the previous swing high or FVG).
  

2️⃣ Fair Value Gap (FVG)

• Bullish FVG: A gap in price action where the low of the second candle is higher than the high of the first candle. Price tends to return to fill these gaps before continuing upward.
  
• Bearish FVG: A gap in price action where the high of the second candle is lower than the low of the first candle. Price tends to return to fill these gaps before continuing downward.
  

How to take trades:

• Buy: Enter long after a pullback into a bullish FVG zone and if price action shows signs of rejection (such as bullish candlestick patterns or strong momentum).
  
• Sell: Enter short after a pullback into a bearish FVG zone and if price action shows signs of rejection (such as bearish candlestick patterns or strong downward momentum).
  

3️⃣ Inverted Fair Value Gap (IFVG)
An Inverted Fair Value Gap (IFVG) refers to a Fair Value Gap (FVG) that has already been filled or broken through by price action. Essentially, it is a gap that has been revisited by price and has now been mitigated or broken.

Example:

• For Continuation: After price fills the gap, it may continue in the same direction. If price breaks through a bullish FVG and shows continuation, it may signal that the market is still in a strong uptrend.
  
• For Reversal: If the price returns to an inverted FVG after breaching it, and then starts showing signs of reversal (e.g., reversal candlestick patterns, or a shift in momentum), this could signal an entry point in the opposite direction.
  

How to take trades:

• Buy: Consider entering long when price returns to an IFVG zone that aligns with other bullish confluences, such as a bullish VI or liquidity sweep.
  
• Sell: Consider entering short when price returns to a bearish IFVG zone that aligns with other bearish confluences, such as a bearish VI or liquidity sweep.
  

4️⃣ Liquidity Sweeps
Liquidity sweeps occur when the market temporarily breaks a key high or low to trigger stop-loss orders or lure traders into the wrong direction before reversing.

How to take trades:

• Buy: If a liquidity sweep breaks a key resistance or swing high but fails to close above it, enter long when price begins to reverse in the opposite direction, ideally near a previous support or FVG zone.
  
• Sell: If a liquidity sweep breaks a key support or swing low but fails to close below it, enter short when price begins to reverse in the opposite direction, ideally near a previous resistance or FVG zone.
  

🎯 Trade Setup and Confirmation Strategy
Here’s how to combine these concepts for high-probability trade setups:

Liquidity Sweeps + Volume Imbalances:
If a liquidity sweep occurs in conjunction with a volume imbalance (especially on a higher timeframe), this can act as a confirmation signal to enter the trade.

Example: A liquidity sweep breaks a previous high, but the price fails to close above it. If this happens alongside a break of a Volume imbalance (VI) , it could be a strong signal to sell.

FVG/IFVG Mitigation + Liquidity Sweeps:
Price often returns to mitigate imbalances, and when a liquidity sweep occurs near an unfilled gap, it could trigger a reversal.

Example: After an upward trend, a bearish liquidity sweep breaks a previous swing low, and price then revisits a bearish FVG and creates an IFVG, signaling an opportunity to buy.


Directional Bias (Higher Timeframe Analysis):
Always consider the higher timeframe trend to confirm trade direction. A bullish FVG or bullish VI on the lower timeframe aligns with a bullish trend on the higher timeframe.

Confluence with Key Levels:
When these patterns align with important price levels such as support, resistance, or previously identified swing highs/lows, it enhances the probability of a successful trade.

⚙️ How It Helps in Trading Strategy
The indicator assists in several aspects of trading:

1. Liquidity Hunts: Price often sweeps liquidity before making major moves.
   
2. Entry Confirmation: Use imbalances or sweeps as extra confluence for trade entries.
   
3. Mitigation Zones: Price frequently returns to fill inefficiencies before reversing.
   
4. Directional Bias: Bullish or bearish gaps align with the higher timeframe narrative.
   

🔍 ICT Concepts Included
✅Volume Imbalance (VI): High-volume inefficiencies.
✅Fair Value Gap (FVG): Standard price gaps.
✅Inverted Fair Value Gap (IFVG): Filtered large price gaps.
✅Liquidity Sweeps: Stop-hunting patterns by smart money.
