<h3 class="" data-start="249" data-end="267">Introduction</h3>

<p class="" data-start="268" data-end="800">The forex market thrives on precision and timing, and traders using ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methods know the power of Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). The <strong data-start="416" data-end="459">Inversion Fair Value Gaps MT4 Indicator</strong> is an advanced technical tool built upon the ICT concept of inversion FVGs. It helps traders identify powerful support and resistance zones based on mitigated FVGs, giving you an edge with real-time trading signals and actionable zones. This blog explores how the IFVG indicator works, its key features, and the trading strategy it unlocks.</p>

<h3 class="" data-start="807" data-end="867">???? Overview of the Inversion Fair Value Gaps Indicator</h3>

<p class="" data-start="868" data-end="1099">The <strong data-start="872" data-end="890">IFVG Indicator</strong> is based on the <em data-start="907" data-end="930">Inversion FVG concept</em> created by ICT and is built to highlight areas where market inefficiencies have been corrected (mitigated) and can now serve as significant support or resistance zones.</p>

<p class="" data-start="1101" data-end="1345">After mitigation — defined as the price closing <em data-start="1149" data-end="1157">beyond</em> the original FVG in the <em data-start="1182" data-end="1202">opposite direction</em> — the gap is labeled as an "Inverted FVG". These become highly sensitive trading zones that can predict potential price reactions upon retest.</p>

<h4 class="" data-start="1347" data-end="1365">Key Concepts:</h4>

<p class="" data-start="1368" data-end="1427"><strong data-start="1368" data-end="1384">Bullish IFVG</strong> → turns into <strong data-start="1398" data-end="1427">Potential Resistance Zone</strong></p>

</li>

<p class="" data-start="1430" data-end="1486"><strong data-start="1430" data-end="1446">Bearish IFVG</strong> → turns into <strong data-start="1460" data-end="1486">Potential Support Zone</strong></p>

</li>

</ul>

<p class="" data-start="1488" data-end="1633">Once the price retests and reacts to these zones, the indicator can display live <strong data-start="1569" data-end="1599">bullish or bearish signals</strong>, giving traders a clear heads-up.</p>

<h3 class="" data-start="1640" data-end="1661">???? How It Works</h3>

<p class="" data-start="1662" data-end="1710">Mitigation is the key mechanic behind this tool.</p>

<p class="" data-start="1712" data-end="1897"><strong data-start="1712" data-end="1738">Mitigation Definition:</strong><br data-start="1738" data-end="1741">Occurs when the price <em data-start="1763" data-end="1786">closes above or below</em> an FVG in a direction <em data-start="1809" data-end="1831">opposite to its bias</em>. Once mitigated, the FVG flips — now acting as an inversion zone.</p>

<p class="" data-start="1899" data-end="1920"><strong data-start="1899" data-end="1918">Price Behavior:</strong></p>

<p class="" data-start="1923" data-end="2003">Retest of a <strong data-start="1935" data-end="1951">Bearish IFVG</strong> → price may bounce <strong data-start="1971" data-end="1982">upwards</strong> → <strong data-start="1985" data-end="2003">Bullish Signal</strong></p>

</li>

<p class="" data-start="2006" data-end="2088">Retest of a <strong data-start="2018" data-end="2034">Bullish IFVG</strong> → price may reject <strong data-start="2054" data-end="2067">downwards</strong> → <strong data-start="2070" data-end="2088">Bearish Signal</strong></p>

</li>

</ul>

<p class="" data-start="2090" data-end="2248">However, once an IFVG is mitigated, <strong data-start="2126" data-end="2158">all its graphical components</strong> (highlighted zone, signal, lines) are removed, making the chart cleaner and more focused.</p>

<h3 class="" data-start="2255" data-end="2282">⚙️ Indicator Settings</h3>

<p class="" data-start="2284" data-end="2360">This MT4 version gives traders flexibility with smart customization options:</p>

<p class="" data-start="2364" data-end="2446"><strong data-start="2364" data-end="2377">Show Last</strong>: Decide how many recent IFVGs you want to display (up to 100 max).</p>

</li>

<p class="" data-start="2449" data-end="2536"><strong data-start="2449" data-end="2470">Signal Preference</strong>: Choose between signals based on <strong data-start="2504" data-end="2513">Wicks</strong> or <strong data-start="2517" data-end="2526">Close</strong> prices.</p>

</li>

<p class="" data-start="2539" data-end="2675"><strong data-start="2539" data-end="2557">ATR Multiplier</strong>: Use Average True Range (ATR) filtering to ignore weaker zones by setting a minimum gap width condition based on ATR.</p>

</li>

</ul>

<p class="" data-start="2677" data-end="2791">These settings are perfect for tailoring the tool to your personal trading strategy, time frame, and market style.</p>

<h3 class="" data-start="2798" data-end="2822">???? Built-in Alerts</h3>

<p class="" data-start="2824" data-end="2954">Stay ahead of market moves with built-in real-time alert notifications. The indicator lets you configure alerts for the following:</p>

<h4 class="" data-start="2956" data-end="2980">???? Bearish Signal</h4>

<p class="" data-start="2981" data-end="3072">When the price returns to a bearish inversion zone and drops – a potential <strong data-start="3056" data-end="3071">short entry</strong>.</p>

<h4 class="" data-start="3074" data-end="3098">???? Bullish Signal</h4>

<p class="" data-start="3099" data-end="3181">When the price bounces from a bullish inversion zone – a potential <strong data-start="3166" data-end="3180">long entry</strong>.</p>

<p class="" data-start="3183" data-end="3317">These alerts are ideal for traders who want to automate their zone monitoring or integrate with mobile/desktop MT4 push notifications.</p>

<h3 class="" data-start="3324" data-end="3373">???? Why IFVG Is Not Just Another Signal Tool</h3>

<p class="" data-start="3375" data-end="3509">Many traders make the mistake of backtesting this indicator like a normal signal tool. That’s not how the Inversion FVG concept works.</p>

<p class="" data-start="3513" data-end="3687">Backtesting historical signals won’t reflect true conditions since the indicator actively <strong data-start="3603" data-end="3635">deletes mitigated IFVG zones</strong> — a core feature that mirrors real market behavior.</p>

</blockquote>

<p class="" data-start="3689" data-end="3839">This makes it a <strong data-start="3705" data-end="3745">real-time discretionary trading tool</strong>, perfect for price action traders who rely on confirmed zones, not just generic entry arrows.</p>

<h3 class="" data-start="3846" data-end="3881">???? Strategy Example with IFVG</h3>

<p class="" data-start="3882" data-end="4039">Let’s say you see a bearish FVG, and the price closes above it — this is <strong data-start="3955" data-end="3969">mitigation</strong>. The indicator now turns this zone into a <strong data-start="4012" data-end="4028">bullish IFVG</strong> (support).</p>

<p class="" data-start="4041" data-end="4120">When the price revisits this zone and bounces up, you get a <strong data-start="4101" data-end="4119">bullish signal</strong>.</p>

<p class="" data-start="4122" data-end="4141">At that point, you:</p>

<p class="" data-start="4144" data-end="4190">Confirm with volume or candlestick structure</p>

</li>

<p class="" data-start="4193" data-end="4243">Place a <strong data-start="4201" data-end="4214">buy trade</strong> with a stop below the IFVG</p>

</li>

<p class="" data-start="4246" data-end="4292">Use a <strong data-start="4252" data-end="4262">1:2 RR</strong> targeting the next resistance</p>

</li>

</ul>

<p class="" data-start="4294" data-end="4359">This is the power of <strong data-start="4315" data-end="4334">inversion logic</strong> in a real-time strategy.</p>
