Fair Value Gaps as Market Imbalances

A fair value gap forms when a strong price move creates a three-candle structure where the wicks of the first and third candles do not overlap. This gap represents an imbalance - orders were so one-sided that price left behind inefficient pricing that the market often returns to fill later.

Trend-Aligned Detection

This implementation requires FVG bars to align with the prevailing trend direction, filtering out counter-trend gaps that are less reliable. A bullish FVG forming during an uptrend has higher fill probability than one forming against the trend - this alignment improves signal quality significantly.

Silver Bullet and RTH Filtering

Additional restrictions like the Silver Bullet time window and regular trading hours filtering ensure gaps are detected during the most liquid and relevant market periods. Gaps forming during thin overnight sessions or outside key algorithmic windows are excluded to maintain signal integrity.

Trading the Gap Fill

The primary strategy is to enter when price returns to fill the gap, anticipating a continuation in the original impulse direction. For example, a bullish FVG at $100 after a rally to $105 becomes a buy zone if price pulls back to that level - the gap acts as a high-probability support area.

Common Questions About Fair Value Gaps in ICT Trading

Common Questions About Fair Value Gaps in ICT Trading

Fair Value Gaps represent price imbalances where buying and selling were not in equilibrium, creating zones price often revisits. These questions address identification, trading and common confusion points around FVGs.

Fair Value Gaps represent price imbalances where buying and selling were not in equilibrium, creating zones price often revisits. These questions address identification, trading and common confusion points around FVGs.

How do I identify a valid Fair Value Gap on the chart?

An FVG forms when a strong candle creates a gap between the high of the first candle and the low of the third candle in a sequence. The middle candle must be impulsive enough that wicks do not overlap. This unfilled space represents an imbalance the market may revisit.

Do all Fair Value Gaps get filled and how long should I wait?

Not all FVGs fill. Strong trend gaps may remain open as the market does not return to rebalance. Higher timeframe FVGs have more magnetic pull than lower timeframe gaps. If price moves significantly past the gap without returning, it may remain unfilled indefinitely.

How do I trade the retest of a Fair Value Gap?

Wait for price to return to the FVG zone and show rejection through wicks or reversal candles. The entry is typically at the midpoint or edge of the gap with stops beyond the opposite side. Look for FVGs that align with market structure and higher timeframe direction.
