Learn fair value gaps in four steps
Read this site in this order: the guide, the examples, the scanner archive, then the statistics. Each step builds on the one before, and after the fourth you can read a gap, find one on a real chart and say how often gaps like it were touched or filled in the archive.
- 1. The guide. After this you can state the three-candle rule, tell a bullish gap from a bearish one and say what "filled" means.
- 2. The examples. After this you can spot gaps on real charts, and you will have seen that some are filled, some are touched and some are left alone.
- 3. The scanner archive. After this you can look through every gap the rule found in the archived sessions, by market and by size, and open any one on its chart.
- 4. The statistics. After this you can read counts and times for touches and fills, and check the sample size behind each figure before trusting it.
These pages show how the pattern behaves in recorded data. They are not trading advice, and nothing in them says a gap will be traded profitably.

After the four steps
The history lists past gaps by day (the last 30 days are free), and FVG Pro removes the delay on the delayed scanner, sends alerts to your own rules and opens the full history and downloads. Included in ICT Mentorship Core and Lifetime.
Where to go next
If you want the rule drawn on your own charts, see the fvg indicator site. If you prefer a taught programme to a reading order, the ict mentorship site covers structured learning.
