Inversion Fair Value Gaps

Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVG) Indicator for NinjaTrader
Turn price inefficiencies into high-probability support and resistance zones.

The Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVG) indicator is designed to help traders identify one of the most powerful behaviors in Smart Money Concepts—when imbalance flips its role.

A Fair Value Gap (FVG) represents an inefficiency in price. But when that inefficiency is mitigated and broken, it often transforms into a new structure—an Inversion Fair Value Gap.

These inverted zones act as future support or resistance, offering precise areas for entries, reactions, and reversals.

The Concept

An IFVG forms when a previously identified FVG is:

• ✔ Mitigated (price returns into it)
• ✔ Invalidated or broken
• ✔ Reused as a new structural level

This creates a powerful shift:

• Bullish IFVG: A bearish FVG becomes support below price
• Bearish IFVG: A bullish FVG becomes resistance above price

This transformation reflects a change in market intent, making IFVGs highly valuable for anticipating future reactions. 

What You See on the Chart

• ✔ Bullish and bearish IFVG zones
• ✔ Highlighted imbalance areas (boxes)
• ✔ Optional midlines for precision entries
• ✔ Extended active zones for forward analysis
• ✔ Bounce signals when price reacts to IFVG

These zones provide a clear visual of where price is likely to react after structure shifts.

Key Features

Dynamic IFVG Detection

• Automatically identifies FVGs and their inversion
• Tracks mitigation and structural flips
• Displays only relevant active zones

Support & Resistance Transformation

• Bullish IFVG → Support zone
• Bearish IFVG → Resistance zone

This gives you clear, rule-based levels instead of subjective zones.

Bounce Signal Detection

• Detect reactions when price revisits IFVG zones
• Choose detection based on:
  • Wicks (aggressive entries)
  • Closes (confirmation-based entries)

This helps identify high-probability entry points.

Advanced Filtering (ATR-Based)

• Filter insignificant gaps using ATR
• Focus only on meaningful imbalances
• Improve signal quality and clarity

Flexible Visualization

• Show/hide bullish and bearish IFVGs
• Display midlines for precision
• Adjust opacity and colors
• Extend active zones forward
• Remove filled IFVGs for cleaner charts

Automation & Strategy Integration

The indicator provides hidden plots for advanced trading systems:

• bullTop / bullBot (bullish IFVG levels)
• bearTop / bearBot (bearish IFVG levels)
• Next unfilled IFVG levels
• BounceSignal (entry signals)
• isIFVG (zone identification)

Fully compatible with NinjaTrader Strategy Builder and backtesting.

Non-Repainting Logic

• ✔ IFVGs are based on confirmed price behavior
• ✔ No repainting after formation
• ✔ Reliable for both manual and automated trading

Why This Indicator is Different

Use Cases

• ✔ Trade support/resistance from inverted imbalances
• ✔ Identify high-probability reversal zones
• ✔ Combine with Liquidity Sweeps and EQH/EQL
• ✔ Confirm entries with bounce signals
• ✔ Build imbalance-based automated strategies

How to Use

• Step 1: Identify IFVG zones on chart
• Step 2: Wait for price to revisit zone
• Step 3: Look for bounce signal or confirmation
• Step 4: Enter with defined risk and targets

When imbalance flips, opportunity begins.
