The native NinjaTrader FVG tracks gap filling at a tick-by-tick level, whereas this indicator treats the FVG as a structural zone that remains valid until meaningful mitigation occurs. This mitigation logic prioritizes price reaction over partial fills and is inspired by educational concepts commonly discussed by traders such as Arjo, focusing on whether price respects or invalidates the imbalance. As a result, the two tools are not expected to match visually, even when identifying the same underlying gap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat do -R and -D mean?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRespect (-R)\u003c\/strong\u003e indicates that price reacted in line with the original imbalance after mitigation, while \u003cstrong\u003eDisrespect (-D)\u003c\/strong\u003e indicates that price broke through the zone, invalidating its directional implication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I control how many zones appear?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Lookback and max-zone limits allow you to control how many Fair Value Gaps remain active, keeping charts fast and readable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I customize colors and opacity?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. You can configure colors and opacity for bullish and bearish zones, as well as visual styling for mitigated gaps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan it be used with strategies?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
