The ICT Fair Value Gap (FVG) indicator is available in TradeZella's backtesting feature, helping you identify potential trading opportunities based on market imbalances.
A Fair Value Gap is a price imbalance that forms when the market moves quickly in one direction, leaving a gap between candles. Traders often watch these zones because price tends to revisit them.
