![IFVG Pro+ [TradeZoro] on an NQ futures chart in ZoroCharts](/assets/images/indicators/pages/ifvg-pro-plus.webp)
Marks buyside and sellside liquidity from higher timeframes, the sweep of a level, the fair value gap in that leg and its inversion (IFVG).
Overview
IFVG Pro+ follows one sequence. It draws buyside (BSL) and sellside (SSL) liquidity lines from higher-timeframe swings and candle highs and lows. When a level is swept, it finds the most recent chart-timeframe fair value gap inside the leg into that level and shows it as a candidate box. If price then closes back through that gap, the gap is marked as an inversion fair value gap (IFVG).
An optional risk and reward box can be drawn from the IFVG, with the stop at the sweep wick and the target at the R multiple you choose. Setups that hit the stop before 1R are marked failed and hidden by default.
How it works
With auto-select on, liquidity comes from the two timeframes directly above your chart; you can also pick 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h or daily by hand. Swing strength is 2 candles either side and 10 levels are kept each side by default. Higher-timeframe candles are built from completed chart bars, without looking ahead.
By default a sweep means a wick through the level with a close back inside; you can switch to a close through, or either. With leg-extreme liquidity on, only the high or low that ends a price leg counts, and the leg into it must be at least 1 ATR (14). The gap search looks back up to 150 bars and waits up to 40 bars for the inversion. A bias setting and a session filter (Asia, London, New York) narrow which setups show.
How to use it
- Some traders use it to see the sweep-then-inversion pattern in one place.
- Use the dimmed swept lines to review which liquidity was already taken.
- Some traders study the risk and reward box to see how past setups played out.
- Use the bias and session settings to focus on one direction or time of day.
These are ways some traders read it, for learning. They are not trade signals.

| TradeZoro · Setup Quality | |
| Leg-extreme liquidity onlyOnly sweeps of the high or low that ends a price leg qualify. Lower highs inside a down leg (or higher lows inside an up leg) are internal structure — sweeping them is continuation, not reversal, and those setups fail. | On |
| Leg lookback (chart bars)A level is a leg extreme if nothing in this window is beyond it when it forms. | 120 |
| Minimum leg into the level (× ATR)The move from the opposite extreme up into a BSL (or down into an SSL) must be at least this many ATRs. Filters shallow pokes. | 1.0 |
