The Inverse FVG ($49) adds: inversion detection (when a gap fails, the box flips color to mark the role reversal), a high-probability filter that only shows gaps where the middle candle's body is largest, custom-interval / multi-timeframe detection, and a few ICT-specific modes. The upgrade is the detection layer; this one is the primitive.",
