* **Construction** – Defines order block size based on **length** or **full candle body**.
* **Mitigation Method** – Determines when an order block is considered mitigated (e.g., **Close, Wick, Avg**).

### <mark style="color:$primary;">**Fair Value Gap (FVG)**</mark>

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://3353728891-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F1dlOGDREop4WMfLcctYT%2Fuploads%2FNgulsYOhIN0WMsbTOrqQ%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=3488ba3b-158c-4a5a-b019-00388bfe22bd" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

* **Mitigation** – Sets how an FVG is confirmed as filled (**Close, Wick, Avg**).
* **Timeframe** – Allows filtering by specific chart timeframes.
* **Threshold** – Filters out insignificant FVGs based on a minimum value.

### <mark style="color:$primary;">**Swing Failure Pattern (SFP)**</mark>

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://3353728891-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F1dlOGDREop4WMfLcctYT%2Fuploads%2F0Zb0OvNxsn4Aqp994kvC%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=0000f713-db32-4d58-8a46-0f0b37f9caa5" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

* **Length** – Defines the number of bars considered for SFP detection.
* **MTF** – Enables higher timeframe filtering for SFP signals.
* **Filtering** – Allows selecting **Trend Following, Counter Trade, or None** to refine signals.
* **Threshold** – Sets a volume threshold for validating SFPs.
