What is a fair value gap in Forex?

What is a fair value gap in Forex? Fair value gaps are formed when price action moves very fast in one particular direction. Usually the market will balance itself as it moves up or down, but when there is just buying or selling pressure you get what’s called a fair value gap, also called imbalance. Price usually comes back to fill these fair value gaps (or imbalance) at a later time so as to balance price.

It is crystal clear when your chart has already dipped back to it. Show me how to find fair value gaps on a live chart before the market dips back to it. I can pick any level on any chart and yes eventually the market will come back to it and I can make money on any level if I have enough time and money to hold and wait

FVG is when price is delivered inefficiently, Imbalance is when price is offered to only 1 side of the market. There's more that goes into just spoting a FVG and thinking your good to go. There is a premium/discount array matrix and hierarchy to know how far price will reach in relation to price being in a premium or discount market. Lower TF PD Arrays are subordinate to higher TF PD Arrays. Michael Huddleston (ICT) has 30+ years in the market and brought these concepts out back in the early-mid 90's 👍🏼.

Give credit to ICT. Its his concept. Liquidity, manipulation, Fair Value Gaps, Breakers, Orderblocks, Optimal Trade Entry’s, Premium and Discount etc. Its all his concepts. The man is a living legend and will be remembered as the man who solved the market. Legend and goat forever

The thing is, according to ICTs strategy, the FVG should be traded in the context of Liquidity and Stop Raids. Then you can sport them on lower timeframes when previous swing lows / highs are broken.

[SBYTrader]

The fair value gap concept in the ICT strategy is a game-changer for me. I've had some really profitable trades using this approach. Thanks for sharing!

Fair value Gap is an order left behind that identify imbalance. Visible on the lower tf.
