What It Shows:
This indicator displays the first Fair Value Gap (FVG) that appears during each hourly session, based on lower timeframe price action.
Core Concept:
Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection:
Uses a 3-candle pattern to detect price gaps
Key Features:
1. Hourly Time-Based Filtering:
Divides the trading day into hourly blocks
Shows ONLY the first FVG(s) that appear in each hour
Resets tracking at the start of each new hour
Uses America/New_York timezone
2. Two Display Modes:
"First Only": Shows whichever FVG appears first per hour (bullish OR bearish)
Once one box appears, no more boxes for that hour
"Show Both": Shows first bullish AND first bearish FVG per hour
Displays the first bull FVG + the first bear FVG independently
3. Multi-Timeframe Support:
Lower Timeframe Selection: Choose 15-second, 1-minute, or 5-minute FVG detection
Works on ANY chart timeframe:
On 1-min chart: Uses direct candle data
On higher timeframes (5-min, 15-min, hourly, etc.): Fetches lower timeframe data to detect gaps

NOTE: YOU CAN NOT GO LOWER THAN THE TIME FRAME SELECTED FOR FVG IT WILL NOT WORK BECAUSE WE ARE REQUESTING DATA FROM A LOWER TIME FRAME, IF YOU ARE LOWER THAN THAT TIME FRAME YOU WILL GET:
Error on bar 0: The chart's timeframe must be greater or equal to the timeframe used with `request.security_lower_tf()`.

4. Visual Display:
Colored boxes mark the FVG zones:
Blue (default) = Bullish FVG
Red (default) = Bearish FVG
Box positioning:
Left edge: When the FVG formed
Right edge: End of that hour (HH:59:59)
Height: The actual gap size
5. Size Filtering:
Minimum gap size setting (default: 4 ticks)
Filters out tiny, insignificant gaps


Trading Logic Behind It:
The indicator helps identify the first imbalance of each hour by:
Highlighting where price moved too fast, leaving imbalances
Traders watch these zones for setups and entry models
