Fair Value Gaps Masterclass

Core idea

An FVG is an execution zone—not a standalone signal. Its quality comes from the liquidity sweep, displacement, and market structure around it.

Lesson map

Three-candle imbalance

A bullish FVG exists when candle one’s high and candle three’s low do not overlap; the inverse defines a bearish gap.

Wait for the close

An apparent gap can disappear before the third candle closes. Indicators mark too many gaps, so context must filter them.

The basic model

Sweep liquidity, displace through the last structural swing, create an FVG, then use the retracement as the entry area.

Chart examples

Bullish and bearish examples combine line-chart structure, liquidity pools, strong displacement, precise gaps, and opposing-liquidity targets.
