@tomo22

does this only occur during fundamental analysis or can it happen through normal market PA?

The Gap is mystery, it’s as difficult as to understanding woman. To all female in babypips, don’t feel offended. I have no meaning at all. I respect women, as you’re wonderful human being. But, as an introvert person, knowing a girl was a very difficult thing.

The Gap happens when market’s equilibrium has changed. All are about fundamental. For example:

XAUUSD is a commodity pair and also hedging instrument. When economic is good, people will dump gold, try to get profit from business. This will bring down XAUUSD.
For example US’s economic is under a prime condition, there will be strengthen USD. At the same time, let say China is also having good economic, liquidity is needed, China reduces their COT for gold, then XAU will also weakening.

This will let a decisive GAP. Big countries don’t have eye on XAU, we will see the decline on XAU, step by step. Since everything is done systematically, the decline will be smooth, we will have decisive and smooth gap. Price on XAUUSD will show a gap, but the price will come up again, give kiss and hug to previous base before saying good bye. We can sell in within the imbalance to earn good profit.

Another situation, for example US market is having threat or going to recession. But the fed says, everything under control. Let says it is announced at Saturday night, market close, we are trapped. On Monday, market will move crazily, adapting the situation. Let say we are trading XAUUSD, we probably will see everybody is hunting XAU for protecting their asset, XAUUSD will skyrocketing, at a moment, there is news FOMC. As everyone is expecting the speech will be around recession, then nothing more important as market has appreciated the event. However, out of prediction, FOMC is telling there will be liquidation for big financial institution, every one will shock, market will again jump to new base, adapting to the latest information. Under this condition, we can only zoom out, just like when our girlfriend is having mood swing, keep a distance, but tell her, we are round when she need us
By zooming out, you can see the real gap and know how do the trick.

The above story is an example of how a rough decisive gap will happens, in an extreme way.

I feel like a grandpa … telling story

[tomo22]

this is my example of gap on 5 min. so this would be a decisive smooth gap .

decisive because it heads in its original direction and no institutions are battling together as well it touches into the zone making it a smooth gap.

from what your describing from rough, and how it prints a large candle and doesnt retest back into the gaps area is that not a IFVG? inverse fair value gap?

[TYGMedia]

Hi @tomo22,

this is the example of decisive smooth gap in USDJPY D1.
I’m using strong TF to explain, because strong TF will have less noise.
When you use weak TF, it’s more difficult to differentiate them.

From picture below, we can see a range / base (blue box).
It’s base drop base. If we don’t include the range analysis, we will not know this is a GAP. Try to go higher TF.

By using higher TF, weekly, we have the candle above. So we have a gap between 2 base. So USDJPY will be expected to move down, since it’s revisiting previous range.
From market phase we know USDJPY is moving sideways. So we currently trade Reversal. Price is within Weekly Reversal Sell Zone.

Can you tell me the datetime of your chart? I can’t find the same patterns, as I currently more on AUDCAD, GBPUSD and XAUUSD

[tomo22]

if you are talking about the IFVG, i was only referring to the concept of rough gaps because you said they don’t come back to touch into the gap we aligned meaning that it would brush past that is a IFVG.

(IFVG)

if your talking about my date it is EUR/USD (4HR TO FIND GAP THEN LTF IN PICTURE ABOVE 15MIN!)

DATE 20/01/2025

sorry i forgot to clarify i did HTF first then LTF meant to include this picuture

Hi @tomo22,
As expected, our charts are a little bit different, due to time server. Sometime we can see FVG in one broker, but not in another.

About FVG and IFVG, I don’t really agree with IFVG. But FVG is common pattern base on SnR, happens to all instruments. But the reaction after FVG is different for each instrument. So, IFVG isn’t reliable. If I insist to adopt IFVG, I will back test it before. IFVG is already a specific patterns for certain instrument.

Example, you can use IFVG as reversal pattern for EURUSD, but you can’t use it at XAUUSD, GBPUSD and AUDCAD for example. It happens a lot and still follow the trend. The same reason I told, try to look the patterns .

FVG on GBPUSD, H1. The IFVGs were fail. Try to backtest, the accuracy is bellow 40%.

hi @TYGMedia, why is FVG not considered smoothe and decisive? Also when we are looking at the FVG i can see you have noted a base drop then base, is the actually gap located between these two bases being the drop? is that the actually “GAP” we are looking at? so does this mean we require a BRB or BDB? for GAP to occur?

@TYGMedia

I agree now, looking at price action IFVG is just reversal depending on TF & instrument

@TYGMedia

Since GBPUSD is in correction zone, we look for reversal to sell

wouldnt we want to buy? when market comes near to FVG zone?

[tomo22]

here is IFVG not very clear sorry here it is on 4hr

and 15 min

as we can see IFVG or standard PA reversal is seen here because the market ignores the GAP created

Hi @Sufshiken,

Thanks for your appreciation. Wish all of us have an enjoyable journey in trading. I believe in causality, the more I share, the more I learn. Sharing won’t make me less, as I also learn from many good traders here.

Hi @tomo22,

When we limit ourselves to a package, we stop ourselves to learn more. Example, dating 101, when a girl look at you and smile, it doesn’t mean she like you. You have to know hers background, otherwise a good slap will be landed on our face

FVG is one of the cases. It tells when candle long, the high and low candles after and before it, don’t meet, The candle in the middle is FVG. It has never been told what FVG actually is. The FVG is actually just a gap between two bases.

Using one candle to define a gap will makes us blind with how market work. By understanding the market’s dancing style, will give us flexibility to define good FVG, if we still want to use the concept.

FVG is one of the gaps. It can be decisive, indecisive, smooth or rough as well.
Yes, every Base something Base is actually what we need. I don’t understand why extra terminology is needed define something that has existed. FVG, IFVG. Next time, EFVG, XFVG, Super FVG, Ultra FVG … what next ?

[TYGMedia]

@tomo22

wouldnt we want to buy? when market comes near to FVG zone?

Hi @tomo22,

Back again, our decision base on the patterns we can see in the instrument. There is no longer concept when we see FVG, we buy inside the gap or looking for imbalance zone.

The proper way is look at the chart, find out the common behavior after a gap, when market is trend continuation, sideways and reversal. We also need to now how the fate of current price according to different TF.

Example, here is my trading plan for GBPUSD. There are marks, the first section before first dot, indicates TF. By combining all of them, we know what to do next.
The red zone are telling selling area. That’s why I said, time to sell.

Before M15.TRS.RB … you can see BDB. It’s a gap. While market is being corrected, and we can see reversal at lower TF, GBPUSD patterns, good to trade when the price move back to previous range. We wait candle break. It feels like premium wagyu beef

Yup this is the correct IFVG. By using MTF, you can see during 4H chart there was a BDB. So Market was under strong correction. What was seen on 15M, still under influenced of 4H chart. Just like how I explained in GBPUSD

Hi everyone, during live I’m facing technical problem by using Trading View.
It happened exactly when I put a position.

It’s typical problem from Trading View, during critical moment, the chart is frozen. Can’t trade … Trading View is not reliable.

The best platform is MT4/5. cTrader is second option. Tradingview is good to show off our chart only

[tomo22]

hi @TYGMedia, thank you for this in-depth explanation.

@TYGMedia

Yes, every Base something Base is actually what we need

this i understand well and can see what you mean.

@TYGMedia

The proper way is look at the chart, find out the common behavior after a gap, when market is trend continuation, sideways and reversal. We also need to now how the fate of current price according to different TF.

okay so what you are saying is we wait for BD or BR for the gap to be created, then we wait for price to either create sideways, trend continuation or reversal momentum?

@TYGMedia

Before M15.TRS.RB … you can see BDB. It’s a gap. While market is being corrected, and we can see reversal at lower TF,

I notice the Base, drop(GAP) and then reversal. how can we identify where early reversal is?

---

here is an example of better FVG i attempted, still needs work!

can see base,drop and price reverses into the gap

is this rough/indecsive
