1st Presented Fvg's [M1D]
OVERVIEW
1st Presented Fvg's (M1D) isolates the very first Fair Value Gap each hourly window prints —
the one everything else in that hour reacts to — and tracks its full lifecycle: does it
hold, does it fail, does it invert, and does the inversion validate on a retest. Instead of
marking every FVG on the chart, it keeps only the one gap the model cares about per hour and
reports what happened to it.
It is a single-timeframe, event-tracking tool rather than a signal generator. It tags one
gap per hourly window, runs a strict hold / fail / invert / validate state machine on it, and
rolls a running Hold %, Inverted count and Valid IFVG count into a small dashboard so you can
see how the current session is actually behaving.
Detection and every state transition evaluate on confirmed bars only — nothing is decided
intrabar, and the chart requires an intraday timeframe of 60 minutes or less.
WHAT IT PLOTS
- 1st Presented FVG zone — a coloured box drawn from the exact three-candle gap, labelled
with its hourly window (e.g. "1st - 2pm") and an optional macro-window time suffix (e.g.
"1st - 2pm 1:50-2:10"). Zone colour cycles through your chosen palette by hour.
- NY Open tag — inside the 9:30-10:00 NY session specifically, the gap is labelled "1st -
NY Open" instead of the generic hour label, and only appears once price has swept a recent
pivot high or low first (see Key Definitions below).
- Inversion (IFVG) tag — a gap that held, then closed through, turns orange and is
relabelled IFVG.
- Valid IFVG tag (✔) — once an inverted gap is retested (price trades back into it), it
gains a check mark and a brighter fill, so a live, usable IFVG stands out from one still
forming.
- Failed gap (optional) — a gap that closed through without ever holding can be kept on
chart dimmed for context, or deleted outright; either way it is counted in the stats.
- Dashboard (M1D) — a small monospace table showing the current session, current time, and
a Today vs. Total read of gaps tagged, gaps held, Hold %, gaps inverted, and validated
IFVGs.
KEY DEFINITIONS
- Held — the point at which a 1st Presented FVG is considered to have defended its zone,
rather than just being tagged. Governed by the Hold Definition setting below.
- Reject & Close Away (default Hold Definition) — price must trade into the gap and then
close back outside its proximal edge before it counts as held. A tap that closes through
without that rejection is scored as a fail, not a hold — so Hold % reflects confirmed
rejections, not every incidental touch.
- Touch & Hold (alternate Hold Definition) — any trade into the gap that doesn't close
through it counts as held immediately, no rejection required.
- Inversion (IFVG) — a gap that held first, then later closed through it. This sequence is
mandatory: a gap that runs straight through without ever holding is a fail, never an
inversion.
- Valid IFVG — an inverted gap that price has subsequently traded back into.
- Hold % — held gaps ÷ gaps tagged, shown separately for Today and All-Time.
- NY Open liquidity sweep — inside the 9:30-10:00 New York session, the 1st Presented tag
runs on its own daily slot, separate from the normal hourly one, so an earlier random gap
in the same clock hour can't use up the slot before the open range even happens. That slot
only fills once price has swept a recent confirmed swing pivot — a low for a bullish gap,
a high for a bearish gap — immediately before the gap forms, so the tag reflects a genuine
liquidity grab rather than the first random three-candle gap after 9:30.
HOW TO USE IT
Reading the state of the current gap
- A live-coloured zone with no orange means the 1st Presented FVG is still fresh or holding
— treat it as an active zone.
- Orange means it has inverted — price closed through it after holding, so it now has the
opposite role.
- Orange with a ✔ means the inversion has been retested and validated — the strongest read
of the three, since price has both flipped the gap and come back to confirm it.
- A dimmed zone (if you keep failed gaps) means it closed through without ever holding —
context only, not a level to lean on.
Reading the dashboard
- Hold % (Today vs. All-Time) tells you how respected first-hour gaps have been — a low
reading suggests today's imbalances are being run through rather than defended.
- Inverted vs. Valid IFVG counts show how often a failed gap actually resolves into a
confirmed continuation level (✔) rather than just failing outright.
- Session tells you which killzone you're in without leaving the chart.
Choosing your settings
- Use Reject & Close Away when you only want gaps that show a confirmed rejection —
Touch & Hold is looser and counts the first touch, useful for comparing how often price
even reaches the gap versus how often it truly holds.
- Switch Mode to First Of Each Direction if you want to track a bullish and a bearish 1st
gap side-by-side within the same hour, instead of only the first of either.
- Turn on the Displacement Filter if you want the tag to skip small, low-conviction gaps in
favour of the next one that clears your ATR multiple.
- Leave NY Open: Require Liquidity Sweep on if you specifically want the opening-range gap
isolated from the generic hourly noise; adjust Pivot Lookback to make the swing-pivot
reference tighter (fewer bars, more sensitive) or wider (more bars, more established swings).

The hourly macro in the table. A new Macro row shows the hourly macro window in New York time, :50 to :10 past the next hour. While one is running it reads Now, for example Now 05:50-06:10; otherwise it shows the last one to finish, for example 04:50-05:10.
Settings Changed.
With only the New York open read and an anchor on every weekday, a group of settings never reached the chart: the every-hour mode and everything that served it (the hour mode, the timezone, the CME close skip, the whole-hour rule, the custom window, the macro label), the liquidity-sweep slot and its pivot lookback, and the gap lifetime, closed-through and run-to-edge options that only applied to non-anchor gaps. They are removed. The window is always New York time.
Gap is only allowed to choose a candidate for the 1st presented AFTER 9:30am candles close. Then it will look for any open gap with the volume imb combined into the gap as ICT teaches with your own pre determined minimum gap size choice based in ticks. ( 1pt = 4 ticks)
Table text is all black.
Row names are bold like their readings, so both columns read in the same full black.
Nothing else moves.
With default settings the anchors, colours, labels, right edge and alerts draw as before. Because settings were removed, reset the indicator to its defaults once so saved values line up with the right inputs.

Minor Visual Bug Corrected.Note di rilascio
The 9:30 candle can start the 1st Presented FVG. The rule is that the opening candle itself is never the gap. It was applied too strictly: all three candles of the pattern had to come after 9:30, so the earliest gap a one-minute chart could present was 9:31, 9:32, 9:33, and a gap made by 9:30, 9:31, 9:32 was skipped for a later one. Now the gap candle, the middle of the three, is what has to open at 9:31 or later, so 9:30 can be the first candle of the pattern. On a five-minute chart the earliest is now 9:30, 9:35, 9:40. On a day whose first gap starts on the 9:30 candle, the anchor moves to that gap.
Fixed a late-evening gap taking the next day's anchor.
A gap whose last candle closed at midnight read its close as minute zero, which passed the window's "closes by 10:00" test. So a gap made between 11:57 PM and midnight New York could become the next day's anchor before the New York open had even printed, and the real 1st Presented FVG of that open was never drawn. The close is now read on its own day, so only a gap inside 9:31 to 10:00 can be an anchor.
Nothing else moves.
The window setting keeps its value and meaning, 9:31 by default, and no reset is needed. Every other setting, the colours, labels, right edge and alerts are unchanged.
Note di rilascio
Suspension blocksWhen the 1st Presented FVG sits on three candles in the same direction, each opening beyond the previous close, the zone is now the whole suspension block: from the first candle's close to the last candle's open. The label reads P.SB and the table reads SB+ or SB-. Which gap is the 1st Presented does not change; only its zone and name do. On by default: Detect Suspension Blocks.
A single volume imbalance is still absorbed into the gap by the body-edge reading, as before.
