Smart Scanners › Fair value gaps

Fair value gap formed

A three-bar imbalance just completed its third bar: the middle bar ran far enough that the outer two do not overlap. Only gaps of at least one ATR are shown.

What it looks like on a chart

A shaded band between the two edges of the gap, extended forward.

Settings, as they are actually applied on each timeframe. A dash means this scanner emits no settings string. Where a number differs by timeframe, that is a span of chart time resolved into bars.
