FVG Strategy with One Trade Per Hour and Tick-based TP/SL

This strategy hunts for Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)—three-bar displacement gaps that mark imbalances where price moved so fast it left a “void.” It detects bullish (green) and bearish (red) FVGs on the chart timeframe or a higher timeframe you choose via the Timeframe input. Each detected zone is stored and optionally drawn as a box (static or “dynamic” that tightens with price). A simple threshold lets you filter out tiny gaps: either set a fixed percent (Threshold %) or let the script estimate it automatically. As price trades later, the engine watches for interaction with any stored zone.

Entries are taken on a touch/retest of the zone: buy when price intersects a green (bullish) FVG; short when it intersects a red (bearish) FVG. Risk management is manual and straightforward—your stop loss and take profit are set in ticks, placed off the signal bar’s close. To avoid over-trading, there’s a cap of one trade per hour (it resets when the clock hour changes). In short, it’s an intraday “gap fill / bounce” system: identify an imbalance, wait for price to revisit it, and take a directional trade with fixed tick targets and stops.
