ICT Volume Imbalance Advanced by FS

ICT Volume Imbalance Indicator – Description

This indicator automatically identifies and plots Volume Imbalances based on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts, highlighting areas where price moved inefficiently, leaving behind delivery imbalances in the order flow.

A Volume Imbalance represents a price zone where one side of the market (buy-side or sell-side) showed strong displacement, creating a gap in two-sided trading. These areas often act as magnets for price, serving as potential zones for mitigation, reaction, or continuation depending on market structure and liquidity context.

🔹 Key Features

Automatic Detection of Volume Imbalances
The indicator scans price action and marks imbalance zones in real time as boxes directly on the chart.

Right-Side Extension
Imbalance boxes can extend forward in time, allowing traders to monitor how price interacts with these zones as future delivery unfolds.

Clean Chart Visualization
Vertical lines have been removed to reduce visual noise, keeping the focus on the imbalance zones themselves.

Accurate Gap Plotting
Logic has been improved to ensure all valid imbalance gaps are correctly detected and displayed.

Dynamic Mitigation Handling

When price fully trades through an imbalance, the box is automatically removed.

If price partially fills the imbalance, the box is reduced, leaving only the unfilled portion active on the chart.

🔹 How to Use

Volume Imbalances can be used in confluence with:

Market Structure (BOS / CHoCH)

Liquidity pools (equal highs/lows, session highs/lows)

Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)

Premium/Discount arrays

They are especially useful for identifying inefficient price delivery, potential rebalancing zones, and areas where institutions may revisit to complete unfinished business in price.
