How to Trade with the Fair Value Gap Indicator

• Identify Fair Value Gaps:
• Look for significant gaps between the closing price of one candlestick and the opening price of the next.
• The FVG Indicator will automatically highlight these gaps on your chart.
• Analyze Market Context:
• Consider the overall market trend and the position of the fair value gap.
• Use additional technical analysis tools to confirm the significance of the gap.
• Enter Trades:
• Buy Signal: When the price returns to fill an upward fair value gap (gap up), consider entering a long position.
• Sell Signal: When the price returns to fill a downward fair value gap (gap down), consider entering a short position.
• Set Stop-Loss and Take-Profit Levels:
• Stop-Loss: Place it just below the fair value gap for long positions or just above it for short positions.
• Take-Profit: Set realistic profit targets based on the size of the gap and the overall market conditions.

Trend Following with FVG:

• Identify the Trend: Use moving averages or other trend indicators to determine the overall market direction.
• Locate FVG: Find fair value gaps within the trend direction. In an uptrend, look for upward gaps, and in a downtrend, look for downward gaps.
• Enter on Retracements: Wait for the price to retrace to the fair value gap and enter a trade in the direction of the trend.
• Manage Risk: Place stop-loss orders just outside the gap to protect against adverse price movements.
• Exit Strategy: Use trailing stops or set take-profit levels based on the size of the gap and key support/resistance levels.

Reversal Trading with FVG:

• Identify Potential Reversals: Look for fair value gaps that appear at key support or resistance levels, indicating a possible reversal.
• Confirm with Indicators: Use oscillators like RSI or MACD to confirm overbought or oversold conditions.
• Enter Trades: Once confirmed, enter trades as the price moves to fill the fair value gap.
• Set Protective Stops: Place stop-loss orders just beyond the support or resistance level to minimize risk.
• Profit Targets: Set take-profit levels based on the size of the gap and the distance to the next significant support or resistance level.
