What This Indicator Is
FVG and Order Blocks Detector automatically finds Fair Value Gaps and bullish and bearish order blocks on any chart and marks each one as a clean, flat rectangle with its name written in bold, centered text. Nothing has to be drawn by hand, and nothing is left ambiguous: every zone is the output of a fixed rule set, it grows forward while it is still unproven, and it freezes exactly where price finally mitigates it, staying on the chart afterward as a faded historical record unless you choose to hide mitigated zones entirely. This is an educational technical analysis tool, not financial advice.
Why It Was Built
Fair value gaps and order blocks are two of the most commonly used price action concepts, but most tools that draw them either clutter the chart with dozens of overlapping boxes, keep showing zones long after they have clearly failed, or use text and coloring that is hard to read at a glance. This tool exists to keep the chart clean and legible: a hard limit on how many zones of each type are kept at once, a clear visual difference between an active zone and a mitigated one, and large, centered, bold labels that tell you exactly what each rectangle is without needing a legend.
How It Works
A Fair Value Gap is the classic three candle imbalance: when the current candle's low sits above the high from two candles back, that gap between them is marked bullish, and the mirror case, where the current high sits below the low from two candles back, is marked bearish. Gaps can also be calculated from a higher timeframe than the chart you are viewing, using only fully confirmed higher timeframe candles so nothing ever repaints. A minimum size filter, measured as a multiple of the fourteen period Average True Range, ignores gaps too small to matter. Once a gap is created, it is tracked using whichever mitigation rule you choose: Touch, which fills it the instant price enters the zone at all, Fifty Percent Fill, which waits until price reaches the exact middle of the gap, or Full Fill, which only counts the gap as closed once price has traded all the way through it.
Order blocks are built from swing highs and swing lows confirmed with your chosen lookback on each side. When price finally closes, or just wicks through if you prefer a faster reaction, above a confirmed swing high, that counts as an upward structure break, and the indicator looks back across every candle between that swing point and the breaking candle to find the last bearish candle with the lowest low, which becomes the order block for that break. A downward break works the same way in reverse, picking out the last bullish candle with the highest high. An optional displacement filter requires the breaking candle itself to have a large enough range, measured against the Average True Range, so a block is never built from a weak, low conviction break. A new block is also skipped entirely if it overlaps too heavily in price with an existing, still active block of the same type, which keeps the chart from filling up with near duplicate zones. Each block is then tracked for mitigation using either a close through it or any wick through it, whichever you choose, and the zone can be built from the full candle's high to low or from just its open to close body, depending on your preference.
How To Read The Chart
Every zone is a solid, borderless rectangle with its name, Fair Value Gap, Bullish Order Block, or Bearish Order Block, written in bold text sitting exactly in the center of the box, both left to right and top to bottom. An active zone keeps stretching forward into the empty space on the right side of the chart, which is your visual cue that price has not yet dealt with it. The moment that happens, the box stops growing and locks in place exactly at the candle that mitigated it, and its color shifts to a faded, muted version so your eye can immediately tell the difference between a zone that still matters and one that has already played out. If you are using the Directional Colors theme instead of the default gray, bullish zones and bearish zones are also colored differently from each other, on top of the active versus faded distinction.
How To Use It For Analysis
Treat every zone as an area of interest rather than a precise entry trigger. A still-active order block or fair value gap sitting ahead of price is a level worth watching for a reaction if price returns to it, especially one built on a candle that passed the displacement filter, since that reflects a genuinely forceful move rather than routine noise. A zone that has already faded tells you that level has been used up and is generally less important going forward, though it can still serve as a reference for how price has behaved historically at that price area. Because the indicator never hides the past unless you ask it to, you can scroll back through a chart's history and see exactly how often a given type of zone actually got respected versus simply broken through, which is a useful gut check before relying on the same pattern going forward. As with any price action tool, combine this with your own trend reading, other confluence, and proper risk management rather than trading a zone in isolation.
What The Indicator Draws On The Chart
For every Fair Value Gap, you get a flat rectangle spanning the three candle gap, labeled with your chosen FVG text, which keeps extending to the right while unmitigated and freezes the instant your chosen mitigation rule is satisfied. For every order block, you get the same style of flat rectangle built from the block candle's high and low or its body, labeled Bullish Order Block or Bearish Order Block according to your chosen naming convention, which also keeps extending forward until price mitigates it through a close or a wick, again based on your settings. Every label automatically shrinks to a smaller text size on narrower zones so the text never spills outside its box. Color follows whichever theme you have selected, a single neutral gray for every zone type, or four distinct directional colors, each with its own separate, more transparent shade once mitigated.
Settings Worth Knowing Before Use
How many zones of each type are kept on the chart at once, whether mitigated zones are hidden outright or kept as a faded record, the label text size, color, and bold setting, whether the bullish and bearish order block names are standard or swapped, the color theme and its individual directional colors, whether fair value gaps are shown at all and on which timeframe, the minimum gap size filter, the fair value gap mitigation rule, the swing lookback used for order blocks, whether a break needs a full close or just a wick, the displacement filter and its strength, whether a block uses the full candle or just its body, and the order block mitigation source can all be adjusted from the indicator's settings panel to suit different instruments, timeframes, and personal preferences.
Disclaimer
This indicator is an educational technical analysis tool and does not constitute financial advice. A drawn zone describes a specific, mechanical price action pattern found in past and current data, not a prediction or a guarantee of how price will behave at that level in the future. All trading involves risk, and past reactions to a zone do not guarantee future results. Always use proper risk management and combine this tool with your own analysis before entering any trade.
