Been seeing this fair value gap indicator pop up everywhere lately. Some traders swear by it for entries but others say it’s just another lagging tool.
Anyone actually using it consistently? What’s your experience been like with accuracy?
They’re useful but won’t work in every market condition.
I focus on gaps from high impact news or major session opens - these get filled more reliably.
Be picky about which ones you trade and have an exit plan ready when they don’t work out.
Been using FVG for 2 years. They’re not indicators - just price action concepts.
I pair them with order flow to spot where smart money’s jumping in. Accuracy changes with market conditions though.
Trending sessions? They’re solid for continuation entries. Choppy London mornings? They’ll wreck you.
My hit rate jumped when I stopped trading every gap. Now I only take them when they match my bias and there’s real volume.
Definitely worth learning, but won’t magically fix your trading.
Used it for a few months. Works okay but you need clean breakouts to make it worthwhile.
Fair value gaps aren’t magic bullets, but they work. I’ve used them for three years on higher timeframes to time entries. They highlight imbalances that generally get filled, but not always, and timing can be unpredictable. I treat them like support or resistance zones, not exact entry points. Always wait for extra confirmation, like momentum divergence or volume patterns. Using them alone can lead to losses in sideways markets. They perform best on 4H or daily charts when there’s a clear trend.
