Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Three-candle imbalances and how they are used as areas of interest.
Illustrative chart · Bullish fair value gap
Spotting the gap
Look at three consecutive candles. If the high of the first and the low of the third do not overlap, the space between them is a fair value gap — an area price moved through quickly.
Using it carefully
Gaps are often partially or fully revisited, but not always. Combine them with structure and higher-timeframe context rather than using them in isolation.
Key takeaways
- Three candles, no overlap between 1 and 3.
- Gaps are areas of interest, not signals.
- Context first, gap second.
