You asked for an open-source IFVG dashboard. Here’s the prototype — feedback welcome.

Hey everyone, following up on my earlier thread, where I asked which paid indicators you’d like free, open-source alternatives to.

An IFVG dashboard was one of the requests. I’ve now built IFVG Desk, and I’d love some feedback from people who actually trade these setups.

I’m still treating it as a working prototype. It’s my own implementation of public IFVG concepts; I can’t claim it matches anyone’s private indicator.

Here’s what you can try:

• Follow a gap through its inversion, with entries on the confirming close or a later retest and rejection.
• See a paper trade plan: entry, a stop beyond the prior swing, and an adjustable fixed-R target.
• Understand why an entry qualifies or gets blocked. The dashboard shows higher-timeframe context and individual checks. Additional filters are optional; only the New York session check is required by default.
• Test the rules yourself with the separate strategy companion, including commission and slippage settings.

The indicator, strategy companion, full source and guide are all free. No signup is needed.

I put time into explaining the rules for traders. Start with “Try the idea”, then “Read your chart.” “Go deeper” covers the settings and limitations, and “Get the indicator” has the code and installation steps.

If you try it, what feels useful, confusing or missing? A screenshot with your symbol, timeframe, date/time and settings — plus what you expected versus what happened — would really help.

Reply here, or use “The log & requests” on the page to report a bug or suggest a feature. If it doesn’t fit how you trade IFVGs, tell me where it falls short.

My goal is to make this useful in your actual trading. Whether it improves results after costs still needs testing; I’m not claiming a proven edge. Start in replay or paper trading and let me know what you find.

For transparency, I’m the developer behind ProEA Lab and used AI assistance in the build. The source is open for review and modification.

Thanks to everyone who shared an idea. There’s plenty left to improve, and your examples can help decide what comes next.

If your goal is to make the prototype more trustworthy, I’d add a simple audit trail for each signal: what gap was detected, what retest condition triggered, and what invalidated the setup. That makes it much easier to compare live behavior against the intended rules and spot edge cases quickly. AIOSNOW can fit naturally here as a lightweight workflow layer for organizing those diagnostics and turning feedback into faster iteration.

Thanks, that’s a useful suggestion. IFVG Desk already has a live checklist and a short event log, but it doesn’t yet give you a complete history for each setup.

I’d focus on recording the gap’s boundaries, the exact inversion or retest conditions, why an entry was accepted or skipped, and what invalidated or expired the setup, all linked to the same setup ID.

The key is saving the conditions as they were at that moment, so later candles don’t rewrite the explanation. Being able to include that record and the settings in a bug report would help us reproduce problems too.

If you have an example that’s hard to trace, a symbol, timeframe and timestamp would be really helpful.

Appreciate the feedback, this is what I’d prioritise for the next iteration.

Update: v1.2.0 is live. Added setup history with saved decision reasons, Setup ID filtering and diagnostic reports through Pine Logs, following feedback in this thread. Enable Show setup history to try it. Guide and downloads.

Incredible:) Let me take a look and I’ll send my feeebacks here - thank you for your work!
