ICT Imbalances (fadi)
ICT Imbalances focuses on highlighting the imbalances described by ICT Se imbalances usually act as a price magnet where price tend to revisit to mitigate the imbalance and can act as support and resistance.
It is important to understand that, while they do act as price magnet, they are not all places for entries. What they do provide, is a price understanding and possible areas of reversal based on the bigger picture and trading strategy.
There are four types of imbalances covered by this indicator:
Fair Value Gap (FVG)
Fair value is when, at any given price, both buy and sell sides are offered. For every up move, there is a down move. Fair value Gap is an imbalance where price moved too quickly before offering both buy side and sell side at a given price.
Implied Fair Value Gap (IFVG)
Implied Fair Value Gap is when the first and third candle have overlapping large wicks. The IFVG is the area between the half point of first and third candles.
Volume Imbalance (V.I.)
Volume imbalance is when the price creates a gap between the close of one candle and the open of the following candle with overlapping wicks.
Gap
An area where price gaps up or down leaving a void where price did not trade in. This is most common on higher timeframes and when one day ends and the next day begins.

Notas de prensa:
Major Changed has been performed
1. Added the ability to extend imbalances in various ways. Extend by certain bugger length, Extend to current candle, or extend only when price is near
2. Added the ability to show/hide mitigated. NOTE that ICT does not recognize mitigated as no longer valid, older FVGs can be still see price reaction
3. Added other enhancements to control how the content is displayed
After you change the settings to what you are most comfortable with, you can save them as default so that you do not have to change them if you add the indicator to another chart
