Briefly about FVG mtf btn:
The "FVG mtf btn" indicator is a technical analysis tool that identifies and displays Fair Value Gaps (FVG) on the chart. FVG is an area of price imbalance where the market has moved quickly, leaving a gap between price levels that have not been fully tested by the market. Such gaps often act as areas of interest for traders, as the price tends to return to these areas to "fill" them before continuing to move.
The indicator supports multi-timeframe (MTF) analysis, allowing you to display FVG from a higher timeframe (e.g. H1, H4) on a lower timeframe chart (e.g. M15). It offers three operating modes:
- **Extended mode (MODE_EXTENDED)**: FVGs are extended to the right until the price tests the gap or user-defined conditions are met.
- **Original Mode (MODE_ORIGINAL)**: FVGs are displayed as static rectangles between candles where the gap was formed.
- **Off Mode**: All FVGs displays are disabled. The chart is clean.
