⦿ What Is A Fair Value Gap?

Before diving into the practical use of the Fair Value Gap in trading, it's crucial to have a clear understanding of what it is and how to identify it on your charts. The Fair Value Gap, or FVG, is a widely utilized tool among price action traders to detect market inefficiencies or imbalances. Sometimes you will even see them labeled as inefficiencies by other traders. These imbalances arise when buying or selling pressure is significant, resulting in a large upward or downward move, leaving behind an imbalance in the market.

The idea behind FVGs is that the market will eventually come back to these inefficiencies in the market before continuing in the same direction as the initial impulsive move. FVGs are important since traders can achieve an edge in the market. Price action traders can also use these imbalances as entry or exit points in the market.

By visually representing gaps and their profile, the Fair Value Gap (FVG) & Gap Profile indicator provides a historical overview of gaps within a specified lookback period, showing the distribution and density of gaps across different price levels. This insight helps traders identify zones where the price tends to move more fluidly, often encountering less resistance. High points on the Gap Profile indicate areas where gaps have occurred frequently in the past, which could serve as potential breakout or breakdown zones.
