Fair Value Gap (FVG) Tracker: Read Price Imbalances and Find High-Probability Entries

A Fair Value Gap (FVG) is a zone the market moved through in one aggressive push, leaving it untraded. It is built from three candles: for a bullish FVG, the range between the first candle's high and the third candle's low; for a bearish one, between the first candle's low and the third candle's high. When the middle candle is strong enough to leave that range unfilled, an imbalance appears on the chart.

The TLAP tracker detects these zones automatically on the selected instrument and timeframe, and below the chart shows statistics: how often FVGs get mitigated, how long it takes, and how deep price travels into them. Instead of judging a single zone, you see how the instrument behaves in general — and whether waiting for a return here is worth it.

Dashboard Overview

The TLAP chart marks FVG zones as colored rectangles: green for bullish, blue for bearish. Color intensity reflects zone size.

Above the chart you choose the market (Forex, Metals, Stocks, Indices), the instrument, the timeframe (5m, 15m, 30m, 1H, 4H, 1D) and the minimum zone size as a percentage of price — ≥ 0.1 % by default. This filter applies to the chart, the counter and both tables at once. The counter next to the instrument shows how many FVGs are currently open and how many were mitigated over the selected period.

Two tables sit below the chart.

FVG Statistics — a summary for every instrument in the selected market over the period (4, 8, 12, 24 or 52 weeks) on the current timeframe. For each instrument:

  • Total — FVGs formed over the period;
  • Mitigated — how many were fully filled by price;
  • Avg Time to Mitigate — average time from formation to full fill, mitigated zones only;
  • 1h / 6h / 1d / 3d — share of FVGs mitigated within that window, with the count in brackets;
  • Avg Size — average zone height as a percentage of price;
  • Avg Fill Depth — how far price entered the zone on average, as a percentage of its height (100 % = fully mitigated).

Latest FVGs — zones across all instruments of the market, newest first. Filter: all / open / mitigated / expired. Each row shows direction (▲ bullish, ▼ bearish), formation time (close of the third candle), mitigation time, upper and lower boundaries, size in percent, status, lifetime and fill depth. An open FVG older than eight weeks is marked Expired and leaves the open counter. Click a row to show the zone on the chart.

How to Read the Statistics

Mitigated within 1h / 6h / 1d / 3d is the key column. If 60 % of hourly zones on an instrument get mitigated within a day, trading the return to a fresh FVG is a viable setup; at 20 %, zones are more often left behind and entering "on the return" is risky.

Average fill depth shows how the instrument usually interacts with a zone. Close to 100 % — price runs straight through the FVG, so a stop beyond the far edge is justified. Noticeably lower — price often reverses inside the zone, and an entry at the near edge with a tight stop gives a better risk-to-reward.

Zone size. Large FVGs (over 0.3 % of price) form on news and strong impulses: they last longer and the market pays more attention to them. Small zones on lower timeframes are mitigated quickly and suit intraday work. The ≥ 0.1 % filter removes noise; raise the threshold if you only trade significant imbalances.

Direction. Bullish and bearish FVGs on the same instrument can behave differently — in a trend, zones aligned with the move are mitigated less often. Compare the statistics with the current market structure.

Trading Fair Value Gaps

  1. Pick the timeframe you trade and check the instrument's statistics: the mitigation rate for your horizon and the fill depth set your expectations.
  2. Find a fresh open FVG in the Latest FVGs table or on the chart. Assess the context: higher-timeframe trend, nearby levels, upcoming news.
  3. Wait for price to return to the zone — do not chase the impulse that created it.
  4. Look for confirmation inside or at the edge of the zone: a market structure shift on a lower timeframe, a liquidity sweep, a reversal candle.
  5. Place the stop beyond the far edge of the FVG (or the near edge if statistics show shallow fill depth). Target the nearest liquidity pool or the next unfilled zone.
  6. On lower timeframes, expect zones to be run through more often — the fill depth column shows it.

FVGs work as part of a system, together with market structure, liquidity and risk management. The statistics on this page tell you what to expect from a given instrument; they do not replace analysis of the current situation.
