# val_fvg_mt5_ea

This Expert Advisor (EA) is built around the **SequenceFVG** indicator to identify high-probability trade zones based on value areas and fair value gaps (FVGs). The strategy uses two key zones—**Undervalued** and **Overvalued**—to determine directional bias and entry conditions.

---

## 🧭 Value Areas from SequenceFVG

The EA dynamically uses values from the **SequenceFVG** indicator:

* **VAL (Value Area Low)**: Lower bound of the perceived value range.
* **VAH (Value Area High)**: Upper bound of the perceived value range.
* **Absolute Low**: Lowest price within the analyzed session or indicator-defined range.
* **Absolute High**: Highest price within the analyzed session or indicator-defined range.
