Apex Auto FVG Scanner — real-time Fair Value Gap detection with automatic fill tracking, ATR-based filtering, and instant hover insights. Built for precision. Designed for speed.
Stop hunting FVGs manually. Apex Auto FVG Scanner automatically detects and plots every Fair Value Gap directly on your chart the moment it forms. Bullish and bearish zones are colour-coded instantly, tracked live, and updated in real time as price action develops — so you always know exactly what the market has left behind.
Powered by a smart ATR-based sizing filter, the scanner adapts to any symbol, any timeframe, and any broker automatically. No manual calibration, no guesswork —
just clean, accurate zones every time. Prefer to set your own threshold? A full manual mode gives you complete control over minimum gap size with automatic broker decimal detection built in.
Every FVG zone comes with a live label showing the gap size and current status, updating dynamically from OPEN to FILLED as price returns to the zone. Hover over any gap for an instant tooltip displaying the gap size, direction, and whether it has been filled or not — all the information you need without cluttering your chart.
With customisable bull and bear colours, optional mid-line display, extended zone projection, and a hide-when-filled option to keep your chart clean, Apex Auto FVG Scanner gives you full control over how your confluence zones look and behave. Whether you trade manually or use it to feed your EA, this tool was built to give serious traders a genuine edge.
