min_gap_ticks Minimum parent FVG height in ticks. Higher = only fat parent gaps qualify; lower = micro-gaps count.

The setup, drawn
Here's what Inverse FVG looks like on the chart.
A stylised sample of a fired Inverse FVG setup with the entry, stop, and target(s) marked. Every historical trigger in Sentio renders the same overlays at the exact bar it fired.

Structural checks
What has to be true for Inverse FVG to fire.
Every Inverse FVG setup runs through this checklist. If any required check is red, the setup stays in WATCHING — never gets promoted to ARMED or READY. When you review the setup in Sentio, each check shows green or grey so you can see exactly which conditions were true at trigger time.
- 01 Parent FVG identified and measured
- 02 Invalidation via decisive extreme move
- 03 ATR-qualifying extreme (kills chop-invalidations)
- 04 Retest of the flipped zone within N bars
- 05 Target hierarchy from liquidity → R fallback
Parameters
Tune it to your own read.
Every parameter has a description and an interpretation note in the product. Change one, save, and the next scan tick uses the new value. Here are the ones traders adjust most.
extreme_lookback_bars Bars in which the invalidating displacement must occur. Smaller = trade only at fast extremes; larger = slower moves count.
extreme_move_atr ATR(20) multiple the extreme window must produce. Higher = only violent extremes; lower = accepts slower drift.
retest_window_bars Bars from invalidation to retest before setup ages out. Higher = patience for slow retests; lower = only fast retests.
target_r Fallback R multiple for T2 when no liquidity in range. Higher = wider fallback; lower = conservative.
Not advice
What Inverse FVG is — and isn't.
IFVG signals a polarity-flip retest. Whether the retest holds — and whether you should trade it — is a function of context (news, session, VIX regime) that only you can weigh.
