Q & A

  • What is the main topic of the sixth video in the MMC series?

    -The main topic of the sixth video in the MMC series is understanding Fair Value gaps and the different types of Fair Value gaps in trading.

  • What is the significance of the first line of defense in the context of the video?

    -The first line of defense refers to the initial point of resistance or support when creating a retracement, ideally being the fair value gap that traders are looking to trade from.

  • What is meant by 'Target' in the script?

    -The 'Target' in the script refers to a specific price level on the left side of the chart that traders aim to reach, using the most recent price action and fair value gaps on the right side for trading decisions.

  • How are fair value gaps created according to the video?

    -Fair value gaps are created at unmitigated opposing PD arrays, which are areas of price resistance or support that have not been traded into before.

  • What does 'unmitigated' mean in the context of fair value gaps?

    -'Unmitigated' means that the price level has not been traded into or tested by the market since the fair value gap was created.

  • What is the difference between a good and bad fair value gap?

    -A good fair value gap is one that shows strength and intention from larger market entities, while a bad fair value gap may indicate a lack of strength or a false signal that could lead to a loss in trading.

  • What is an 'expansion phase candle' in the context of fair value gaps?

    -An 'expansion phase candle' is the second candle in a fair value gap formation that closes above the high of the first candle, creating the potential for a fair value gap.

  • What are the three types of third candles that determine the quality of a fair value gap?

    -The three types of third candles are the rejection third candle, the consolidation third candle, and the expansion third candle, each showing different levels of market strength and intention.

  • Why are rejection fair value gaps (RFGs) considered the worst to trade from?

    -Rejection fair value gaps (RFGs) are considered the worst to trade from because they show too much bearish strength after the creation of a fair value gap, indicating a high probability of the market continuing in the opposite direction.

  • What is a 'perfect fair value gap' (PFG) and why is it considered the best to trade from?

    -A 'perfect fair value gap' (PFG) is a fair value gap with a consolidation third candle, showing a balance between bullish and bearish strength, making it the best to trade from as it indicates a high probability of the market continuing in the intended direction.

  • What is a 'breakaway gap' and how is it different from other fair value gaps?

    -A 'breakaway gap' is a type of fair value gap characterized by an expansion third candle, showing strong bullish or bearish strength without a retracement. It is different because it often occurs when the market has not yet reached a significant resistance or support level (PD array), suggesting further price movement before a retracement.

  • Why is it recommended to do a case study on fair value gaps?

    -A case study on fair value gaps is recommended to gain a deeper understanding of which gaps hold and which do not, and to practice identifying and labeling different types of fair value gaps in various market conditions.

πŸ“ˆ Understanding Fair Value Gaps for Trading

This paragraph introduces the concept of Fair Value gaps and their significance in trading for profit. It distinguishes between good and bad Fair Value gaps, emphasizing the need to identify them correctly. The paragraph also explains the importance of the first line of defense, the ideal fair value Gap, and the concept of unmitigated opposing PD arrays. It uses the example of Canadian dollar JPY to illustrate trading towards a target using the most recent fair value Gap and order flow lag.

05:02

πŸ” Identifying Targets and Fair Value Gaps

The second paragraph delves into the specifics of identifying targets and fair value gaps. It explains that targets are on the left side of the chart and trading occurs from the right, using the most recent price action. The paragraph further clarifies how fair value gaps are created at unmitigated opposing PD arrays, which are resistance areas that can lead to rejection and the formation of new fair value gaps. It also discusses the importance of understanding the strength and intention behind market movements by larger entities, as indicated by fair value gaps.

10:03

πŸ“Š The Anatomy of Fair Value Gaps

This paragraph breaks down the anatomy of fair value gaps, explaining the three types of third candles that can form after an expansion phase candle. It describes the rejection third candle (RFG), which shows too much opposing strength, the consolidation third candle, which is a sign of a balanced fair value gap, and the expansion third candle, which indicates strong bullish or bearish strength. The paragraph uses examples to illustrate how these gaps can affect trading decisions and the importance of entry confirmations.

15:03

🚫 Avoiding Rejection Fair Value Gaps

The fourth paragraph warns against trading from rejection fair value gaps (RFGs), which show significant bearish strength and can lead to continued lower prices. It advises seeking more confirmation before trading from these gaps and uses the gold chart as an example to illustrate the concept. The paragraph also discusses the importance of understanding the difference between a rejection and a perfect fair value gap, especially when considering entry points and risk management.

20:04

🌐 Capitalizing on Perfect and Breakaway Gaps

The final paragraph discusses how to capitalize on perfect fair value gaps (PFGs) and breakaway gaps. It describes PFGs as the best to trade from, showing little to no opposing strength and offering a good balance for continuation of the trend. Breakaway gaps, on the other hand, require more experience to trade effectively and should be approached with caution. The paragraph suggests studying which fair value gaps hold and which do not through a case study, using a tool provided in the description for analysis.

Keywords

πŸ’‘Fair Value Gap

A 'Fair Value Gap' is a concept used in trading to identify a price level that the market perceives as the 'fair' or true value of an asset. In the video, it is the central theme, explaining how different types of fair value gaps can be used to predict future price movements. For instance, the script mentions 'good fair value gaps' and 'bad fair value gaps', indicating that not all gaps are equally useful for trading decisions.

πŸ’‘Target

In the context of the video, 'Target' refers to a specific price level that traders aim to reach or consider significant in their trading strategy. The script discusses how the 'Target' is usually on the left side of the chart, and trading decisions are made from the right side, using the most recent price action and fair value gaps to guide the approach towards the 'Target'.

πŸ’‘Orderflow Lag

'Orderflow Lag' is mentioned in the script as a reference to the delay or time gap between the actual price movement and the order flow, which is the total of all orders placed by market participants. It is used to identify fair value gaps and is crucial for understanding the recent market sentiment and potential future price action.

πŸ’‘Unmitigated

'Unmitigated' in the script refers to a price level or area that has not been traded into or challenged by the market. This concept is important because it helps traders identify potential resistance or support levels that have not yet been tested, such as 'unmitigated opposing PD arrays', which are significant for creating new fair value gaps.

πŸ’‘PD Arrays

PD Arrays, or 'Price Discount Arrays', are used in the script to describe areas of accumulated buying or selling pressure that act as support or resistance levels. 'Opposing PD Arrays' are particularly important as they represent the opposing force to the current trend direction and are key in identifying fair value gaps.

πŸ’‘Expansion Phase Candle

An 'Expansion Phase Candle' is a specific type of candlestick pattern mentioned in the script that signifies a strong move in the market. It is characterized by the closing price being above the high of the previous candle, indicating bullish momentum. This pattern is crucial for identifying the creation of a potential fair value gap.

πŸ’‘Rejection

'Rejection' in the script refers to the market's response when it encounters a significant price level, such as a fair value gap or resistance level. If the price moves away from this level, it is said to be 'rejected', indicating a potential change in market sentiment or strength. The script uses this term to differentiate between good and bad fair value gaps.

πŸ’‘Consolidation

Consolidation in the context of the video is a period of price movement where the market is moving sideways, indicating a balance between buyers and sellers. The script describes a 'consolidation third candle' as a sign of a 'perfect fair value gap', where the market has enough strength to create a retracement but not enough to reject the fair value gap fully.

πŸ’‘Breakaway Gap

A 'Breakaway Gap' is a type of fair value gap described in the script that occurs when the market gaps away from a resistance or support level without retracing back to it. This indicates very strong bullish or bearish momentum. The script advises that these gaps can be traded but require more experience and careful consideration.

πŸ’‘Entry Confirmation

'Entry Confirmation' is a term used in the script to refer to additional signals or indicators that a trader might look for before entering a trade. It is particularly important when dealing with fair value gaps, as it helps to ensure that the trade is aligned with the overall market conditions and increases the probability of a successful trade.

Highlights

Fair Value gaps can be profitable but require understanding the difference between good and bad gaps.

The importance of identifying the target on the left side of the chart when trading from a fair value gap on the right.

Fair Value gaps are created at unmitigated opposing PD arrays, indicating areas of resistance or support.

Unmitigated means the price has not traded into the area before, maintaining its strength as a resistance or support level.

Opposing PD arrays are significant in identifying where fair value gaps are likely to form and act as resistance.

A fair value gap signifies the strength and intention of larger market entities moving the price.

The three types of fair value gaps are identified by the third candle's action: rejection, consolidation, or expansion.

A rejection third candle shows a large down candle, indicating bearish strength and a potential poor fair value gap to trade from.

A consolidation third candle represents a balanced fair value gap, showing little bearish strength and a good opportunity to trade.

An expansion third candle, or breakaway gap, shows strong bullish strength but may be difficult for entry and risk management.

The significance of respecting unmitigated opposing PD arrays when trading from a fair value gap.

How to identify and trade from perfect fair value gaps (PFG) which show minimal opposing strength and are ideal for trading.

The potential for a breakaway gap to continue the trend before reaching a significant PD array or target.

The importance of trading breakaway gaps with caution and gathering experience with other types of fair value gaps first.

The recommendation to conduct a case study on various instruments and time frames to understand which fair value gaps hold and which do not.

The use of study notation to label and analyze fair value gaps in practice, enhancing understanding of their behavior.

The emphasis on the universal applicability of fair value gap analysis across all time frames from minute to yearly.

play00:00

Now Fair Value gaps can bring you a lot

play00:02

of profit but you need to understand

play00:03

that not every fair value Gap is the

play00:05

same you have good fair value gaps and

play00:08

bad fair value gaps and that's exactly

play00:10

what we are going to go over in the

play00:12

sixth video of the MMC series we're

play00:14

going to touch on Fair Value gaps and

play00:16

the different fair value gaps that we

play00:18

also have in the first slide I want to

play00:21

revisit the previous video that we had

play00:24

about narrative where we touched on the

play00:26

first line of defense so the first PD

play00:29

rate that we run into when we create a

play00:32

retracement is ideally the fair value

play00:34

Gap that we have sitting right there

play00:37

this is focusing on that we already have

play00:40

the direction that we are now looking at

play00:42

a fair value Gap to trade from and we

play00:45

know based on the previous video as well

play00:46

that ideally we want to see the flot

play00:48

being a fair value Gap but within that

play00:51

we still have different types of fair

play00:54

value gaps so moving on we start off

play00:58

with a Target if we want to understand

play01:00

if we are trading from a good fair value

play01:03

Gap then we first of all need to

play01:05

understand what the target is so what do

play01:08

I mean by that the target is going to be

play01:10

on the left side and we trade from the

play01:13

right what do I mean by that well if we

play01:15

take a look at this example right here

play01:17

then we see we have a Target on the left

play01:20

side that Target is not within the

play01:23

current orderflow lag that we are

play01:25

trading and if we are looking to trade

play01:27

towards that Target we are going to use

play01:29

a fair value Gap sitting right there on

play01:31

the right side in the most recent price

play01:34

action so we're always talking about the

play01:36

most recent orderflow lag and the most

play01:38

recent fair value gaps as well so to

play01:41

show you an example here on Canadian

play01:42

dollar JPY on The Daily time frame we

play01:45

have this fair value Gap right there

play01:47

that we are looking to trade from and we

play01:49

have a Target towards the left right

play01:51

there in the form of those swing points

play01:53

and those Sur Val gaps that we talked

play01:54

about in earlier videos that is towards

play01:57

the left because that is going to be our

play01:59

Target so whenever I refer to the right

play02:02

side of the chart I always refer to the

play02:04

most recent order flow lack all right so

play02:07

once we have that Target on our chart we

play02:09

also need to understand where do fair

play02:12

value gaps actually get created fair

play02:14

value gaps get created at

play02:17

unmitigated opposing PD arrays now what

play02:20

does that mean here in this example we

play02:22

have a lot of candles and at the top

play02:24

right there we have that swing High

play02:27

let's say the previous price action was

play02:29

point so we had bullish price action and

play02:31

we could argue that we want to trade

play02:34

into that swing high right there so that

play02:36

is our main target on the way to that

play02:39

Target we will encounter unmitigated

play02:42

opposing PD Ray what is that first of

play02:45

all unmitigated stands for it has not

play02:48

been traded into before so for example

play02:51

on Canadian dollar JPY this fair value

play02:54

Gap is now mitigated it is not

play02:57

unmitigated anymore because we have

play02:59

traded into it right there but this fair

play03:02

value gap for example is unmitigated

play03:04

since there was no price action there

play03:07

was no trading inside that fair value

play03:10

Gap but this fair value gap for example

play03:12

is unmitigated because after the fair

play03:15

value Gap was created we did not trade

play03:18

back into it just yet this can also be

play03:21

said about swing highs or swing lows so

play03:23

for example this swing High has been

play03:25

traded back above now it's mitigated but

play03:28

this swing high right here is

play03:30

unmitigated this is extremely important

play03:33

to understand otherwise you're going to

play03:35

lose a lot of accuracy and we're not

play03:38

going to be on the same page anymore so

play03:40

for example this fair value right here

play03:42

is unmitigated as we continue higher but

play03:46

as soon as we come down and with that

play03:48

first candle right there the smallest

play03:51

price movements inside this fair value

play03:54

Gap that has been created now it is

play03:56

mitigated so we don't use it anymore now

play03:59

that's the unmitigated part then we move

play04:01

on to opposing PD Rays what are opposing

play04:04

PD Rays well if we continue higher and

play04:07

we are bullish discount arrays are going

play04:10

to be holding we have discount arrays as

play04:13

order flow lags so if the trend is

play04:15

bullish and discount arrays are holding

play04:17

that means premium arrays are the

play04:20

opposing PD arrays so in this example we

play04:24

have this fair value Gap sitting right

play04:26

there which is an unmitigated opposing

play04:29

PD rate if we want to continue higher

play04:32

also known as resistance this fair value

play04:35

Gap is going to resist us from reaching

play04:39

that Target right there so when we trade

play04:41

back into that right there since it is

play04:44

resistance we can expect some kind of

play04:47

rejection now whether the rejection is

play04:50

very big or very small that's what

play04:52

determines what type of fair value Gap

play04:54

it's going to be but at those

play04:56

unmitigated opposing PD Rays that's

play04:59

where we create new fair value gaps now

play05:01

we have another unmitigated opposing PD

play05:04

and that is this swing high sitting

play05:07

right there so when we trade into that

play05:10

that is exactly where we can expect a

play05:12

rejection that resistance area creates a

play05:16

rejection and that rejection creates a

play05:19

new fair value Gap right there that we

play05:21

can continue higher off of so if we

play05:24

again take a look at Canadian dollar JPY

play05:26

we have this as our main target this

play05:28

intermediate term low on the way there

play05:31

we will see that we have a few

play05:34

unmitigated opposing PD rays in the form

play05:37

of this swing low for example when we

play05:40

continue lower create this expansion

play05:43

phase candle the second candle of the

play05:45

fair value Gap the third candle stinks

play05:47

into that the fair value Gap gets

play05:49

created at that unmitigated opposing PD

play05:52

Ray that resistance area then causes a

play05:56

rejection and that caus the retracement

play05:58

to sting back into the F Val Gap to then

play06:01

continue lower now that's quite a lot

play06:03

going on we're going to break that down

play06:04

fully so you can easily understand it so

play06:07

the important part is to understand

play06:09

unmitigated opposing PD rat that they

play06:12

act as resistance for Price action when

play06:15

we run into that resistance that can

play06:17

create a rejection which can create a

play06:20

fair value Gap to then continue higher

play06:22

or continue lower that is where fair

play06:24

value gaps get created now first we need

play06:27

to understand the basics of a fair fair

play06:29

value Gap a fair value Gap is a sign of

play06:32

strength and intention when I mention

play06:35

strength or intention I mean the same

play06:37

exact thing there are bigger entities

play06:39

trading the markets that we also trade

play06:42

with a lot of lots with a lot of money

play06:45

on the line they can move the market so

play06:48

when they move the market they can't

play06:50

simply hide that and what happens when

play06:52

they move the market they create fair

play06:55

value gaps so they show the intention of

play06:58

what price actually wants to do they

play07:00

show the strength now there's three

play07:02

options and each three show different

play07:05

types of strength first of all what

play07:07

we're seeing on the left right here is

play07:09

two candles so we need one more candle

play07:12

the first candle of any fair value Gap

play07:14

can either be a down candle an up candle

play07:16

consolidation doesn't really matter the

play07:19

second candle if we are talking about a

play07:21

bullish fair value Gap is an expansion

play07:24

phase candle an expansion phase candle

play07:27

means that it closes above the previous

play07:30

candle high right there so above the

play07:33

first candle high and since it closes

play07:36

above the first candle High it creates

play07:38

the future potential fair value Gap in

play07:41

the form of this area right here so this

play07:45

whole gray box is where we can

play07:47

potentially see a fair value Gap then

play07:50

the second candle that candle is called

play07:53

the expansion phase candle and now

play07:55

depending on what the third candle will

play07:57

do that will determine what type of fair

play08:00

value Gap we have a good fair value Gap

play08:02

or a bad fair value Gap the first option

play08:04

is the following a rejection third

play08:07

candle now what does a rejection third

play08:10

candle looks like well first of all

play08:11

where does a fair value Gap again

play08:14

potentially get created that unmitigated

play08:17

opposing PD right there like we're

play08:19

seeing in the example now that

play08:21

unmitigated opposing PD is also a

play08:24

previous Target of course because we're

play08:26

always moving towards those PD Rays so

play08:29

once we reach that Target we want to be

play08:31

a little bit more careful and see what

play08:33

we want to do right there because the

play08:35

third candle of this new fair value Gap

play08:38

that could be created could be a

play08:40

rejection third candle like we're seeing

play08:42

right here now why is this a rejection

play08:45

third candle because we saw how big the

play08:48

fair value Gap could potentially be with

play08:51

the gray box that we just saw now we

play08:53

take away all that potential fair value

play08:56

Gap and we create a large down candle

play08:58

actually rejecting lower now what is the

play09:01

thought process behind this well if we

play09:03

want to continue higher right here then

play09:05

we should have quite a lot of bullish

play09:07

strength right and if that fair value

play09:09

Gap was supposed to be quite big but all

play09:12

of a sudden now turns into a very small

play09:14

fair value Gap that tells us that

play09:16

there's also quite a lot of bearish

play09:18

strength in the market and this is not

play09:21

good now we'll go more in depth on this

play09:23

later on then the second type of fair

play09:26

value Gap that we can have is the

play09:28

consolidation third candle where the

play09:31

third candle is a consolidation right

play09:33

there this is the perfect fair value Gap

play09:37

then the third type of fair value Gap

play09:39

that we can have is an expansion third

play09:42

candle so when we were talking about the

play09:44

second candle of a fair value Gap always

play09:46

being an expansion phase that same exact

play09:49

thing happens but now on the third

play09:51

candle again these three options show

play09:54

different types of strength where this

play09:55

one shows a lot of bullish strength the

play09:58

consolidation shows still a lot of

play10:01

bullish strength because we have created

play10:02

a fair value Gap but just enough bearish

play10:05

strength to create a consolidation and

play10:07

to create a retracement the rejection

play10:10

third candle shows too much strength to

play10:12

the opposing side and of course when we

play10:15

are looking for bullish prices we don't

play10:17

want the bearish S to be extremely

play10:19

strong because that can lead to either

play10:21

consolidation or can lead to lower

play10:23

prices which of course if we want higher

play10:26

prices not something we want to see so

play10:28

let's dive into these different third

play10:30

candles right there these different type

play10:32

of fair value gaps where the first one

play10:34

is again the rejection third candle now

play10:37

just for Simplicity sake and just so we

play10:40

know what we're talking about I've named

play10:41

it an rfg rejection fair value Gap now

play10:45

when we see this three candle pattern we

play10:47

want to of course go over have we ran

play10:50

into one of those unmitigated opposing

play10:53

PD Rays because if we did then we can

play10:55

also see that we are actually respecting

play10:58

that opposing PD

play10:59

which tells us that there is some

play11:01

bearish strength in the market now this

play11:04

is the worst FG to trade from shows too

play11:07

much bearish strength and of course we

play11:10

can just simply inverse it if we're

play11:12

talking about a bearish fa Gap and

play11:14

there's too much bullish strength like

play11:16

we mentioned usually comes from an

play11:18

unmitigated opposing PD Ray when we have

play11:20

an rfg like this we want to make sure

play11:23

that we require more confirmation so for

play11:27

example if this is a daily fair value

play11:28

Gap and we want to go into the 15minute

play11:31

time frame eventually for our entry

play11:33

confirmation then we want more

play11:35

confirmation than usual because this is

play11:38

a sign that we might just actually

play11:40

continue lower instead of continuing

play11:42

higher even though there's a fair value

play11:44

Gap right there because something like

play11:47

this might just happen where we actually

play11:49

create a new down candle and we just

play11:51

simply continue lower disrespecting the

play11:54

bullish fair value Gap now there is a

play11:57

lot of beautiful examples right right

play11:59

here on the gold chart then if we pay

play12:02

attention to those unmitigated opposing

play12:04

pays here we have this swing high right

play12:08

there this is something when you start

play12:10

paying attention to it it will happen

play12:12

extremely often when we reach a high

play12:15

like that and we are respecting that

play12:18

high right there based on candle science

play12:20

that means that we are potentially

play12:22

sweeping that high because we are

play12:24

wicking it when we have a sweep like

play12:27

this coming back into to a fair value

play12:30

Gap right there that is not the ideal

play12:32

scenario that makes this daily for Value

play12:35

Gap already lower probability to trade

play12:37

from because when we have a sweep like

play12:39

that we can actually look to continue

play12:42

lower instead so the bullish fair value

play12:44

Gap doesn't have a lot of significance

play12:47

anymore it has more significance before

play12:49

we reach that

play12:51

high so since we are respecting that

play12:54

high we can expect a lot of bearish

play12:56

strength in the market as well so as a

play12:58

general rule thumb fair value gaps that

play13:00

are being traded back into when coming

play13:02

off a sweep like this those are not good

play13:05

fair value gaps they can hold but you

play13:07

would want to see more confirmation

play13:10

because the retracement into the fair

play13:11

value Gap tends to be a little bit

play13:13

deeper than normal now if we then

play13:15

continue lower and we understand that

play13:17

this is also a bigger fair value area

play13:20

right so if we're not offering fair

play13:22

value anymore we could potentially be

play13:23

seeking liquidity so these lows right

play13:26

here the low of this bigger fair value

play13:29

area could be the Target on the way

play13:32

towards that low we will see that we

play13:34

have this fair value Gap right here

play13:37

which also creates this fair value Gap

play13:40

that we sting back into now here we

play13:43

don't have a big rejection higher I

play13:45

would argue but if we take a look at

play13:47

this scenario where we have this fair

play13:50

value Gap sitting right here look at the

play13:53

difference in the rejection from this

play13:55

fair value Gap back to this fair value

play13:56

Gap and from this fair value Gap back to

play14:00

this fair value Gap right here we could

play14:02

have created a full fair value Gap like

play14:06

this right here this big but only about

play14:09

what is it not even 25% of the potential

play14:13

fair value Gap is actually created right

play14:15

there creating an extremely big

play14:18

rejection higher since the rejection is

play14:20

so big there's a lot of bullish strength

play14:22

in the market as well so we can actually

play14:25

expect a deep retracement or even higher

play14:28

prices this is not a good fair value Gap

play14:31

to trade off of right there and if we do

play14:33

want to continue lower we would want to

play14:35

see more confirmation now what more

play14:38

confirmation is is something that will

play14:40

dive deeper into when we get to entry

play14:42

confirmations these are fgs is the ones

play14:46

we want to watch out for where the

play14:47

rejection is very big because these are

play14:50

the worst fair value gaps to trade from

play14:53

now moving on to a better fair value Gap

play14:56

is the consolidation third candle I just

play14:59

labeled this one as the PFG the perfect

play15:03

fair value Gap it all starts again with

play15:05

that PDR that we have towards the left

play15:07

right there now we could argue we are

play15:09

still respecting that because we are

play15:11

wicking it but the rejection in the

play15:13

third candle right there is not as big

play15:16

to continue lower this means the

play15:17

following this is the best FG to trade

play15:21

from it shows little to no bearish

play15:24

strength and of course if we inverse it

play15:26

again shows little to no bullish

play15:28

strength

play15:29

when we have a fair value Gap like this

play15:32

this means that we have a perfect fair

play15:35

value Gap we see that the potential of

play15:38

the fair value Gap was large the

play15:40

expansion phase candle that second

play15:42

candle and also it created a very big

play15:45

fair value Gap this shows that in that

play15:48

third candle there was enough bearish

play15:50

strength to create a retracement into

play15:53

the fair value Gap like we see right

play15:55

there but not enough bearish strength to

play15:58

create a full rejection so if it helps

play16:01

we could put this into a percentage here

play16:03

we could argue we are 80% with the

play16:06

bullish strength 20% with the bearish

play16:09

strength where we still create a

play16:11

retracement enough of a retracement to

play16:14

sting into the value Gap to then

play16:15

continue higher whereas in with the

play16:17

rejection fair value Gap we are more

play16:20

like 60% bullish and maybe 40% bearish

play16:24

and that's why we create such a big

play16:26

rejection now the closer the bullish and

play16:29

the bearish percentages are to each

play16:31

other so if they are 50/50 that of

play16:34

course means that we have a

play16:35

consolidation so we want to find the

play16:38

perfect balance in that so on Canadian

play16:40

dollar JPY we see right here we have

play16:43

this as our main target like we already

play16:45

discuss the fair value gets created

play16:47

based off a rejection that we have right

play16:50

here at that swing low we could make the

play16:53

argument that this is somewhat of a big

play16:55

rejection so if we go down time frames

play16:58

into the four our time frame then we

play17:00

could wait for another fair value Gap to

play17:02

continue lower instead more confirmation

play17:05

now what do we see right here we get

play17:07

this fair value Gap right there does not

play17:09

necessarily get created at the opposing

play17:11

PD ra right there but we have a perfect

play17:14

third candle consolidation right there

play17:17

which means we can sting into it to then

play17:19

simply continue lower but if we now

play17:22

confirm this again into the 1 hour then

play17:25

we see off of the 4H hour fair value Gap

play17:28

we also create

play17:29

this 1H hour fair value Gap right there

play17:31

at a previous unmitigated opposing PD

play17:34

Ray which causes the retracement the

play17:37

third candle being a consolidation which

play17:40

we can then perfectly fine continue

play17:42

lower from these fair value gaps are the

play17:45

perfect fair value gaps hence the name

play17:48

PF now after the PFG we have one more

play17:52

type of fair value gap which we have to

play17:55

understand because these are also very

play17:56

common and that is the expansion third

play17:59

candle also known as a breakaway Gap the

play18:02

back right there now with the Breakaway

play18:05

Gap right here there's a difference with

play18:07

the previous two examples that we have

play18:09

for the perfect fair value Gap and the

play18:11

rejection fair value gap on where we

play18:13

want that opposing unmitigated pdate to

play18:16

be because here ideally we don't want to

play18:20

see that we have reached that Target

play18:22

just yet now we'll dive into why this is

play18:25

not the worst and not the best fair

play18:28

value G to trade from it shows a lot of

play18:30

bullish strength so if we're talking

play18:31

about that strength this could be 100%

play18:34

bullish strength but is a 100% bullish

play18:37

strength always what we want we could

play18:39

argue and logically speaking yes of

play18:41

course we want that but when there's too

play18:43

much strength on one side and we

play18:46

actually don't create a retracement then

play18:48

it makes it more difficult for entry and

play18:51

for the risk management so yes it's good

play18:54

to still trade off of it but it makes it

play18:57

a little more difficult because now you

play18:58

deal with a lot of different variables

play19:01

as well how far can we retrace what is a

play19:03

good fair value up on the lower time

play19:04

frame where can we place our stop- loss

play19:06

there's a lot more going into it whereas

play19:09

in the perfect fair value Gap is a lot

play19:11

easier a lot simpler to trade off of now

play19:14

when we talk about this Breakaway Gap we

play19:16

want to do the following we want to make

play19:19

sure that we only trade it if the

play19:22

unmitigated opposing PD has not been

play19:25

reached just yet why is that because

play19:28

then it it still has room to continue

play19:30

higher whereas if we reach that PD Ray

play19:34

right there then like we saw with the

play19:35

perfect Val Gap or the rejection fair

play19:37

value Gap we can create a bigger

play19:39

rejection we can create that fair value

play19:41

Gap to then continue higher so we can

play19:44

actually expect price to reject a little

play19:46

bit but if we have not reached a PD rate

play19:49

just yet we can expect price to still

play19:51

continue higher a little bit before we

play19:54

create any rejection now we can

play19:56

capitalize on it through the following

play19:58

we can go down time frames and find a

play20:01

new fair value Gap to capitalize on the

play20:04

understanding that the next candle will

play20:06

most likely reach that PD Ray very

play20:09

similar to what we went over in Candle

play20:11

signs we understand the next candle is

play20:13

most likely going to be a bullish candle

play20:15

until we reach that PDR so if on one

play20:18

time frame that's a singular candle we

play20:19

can go down time frames to find the

play20:22

order flow lag that will take us there

play20:24

and then essentially it's the same

play20:25

thought process because then again we

play20:27

look it's a rejection Sur Gap is it a

play20:29

perfect Sur Gap or a breakway gap now

play20:31

this will look something like the

play20:33

following where the next candle is just

play20:35

a bullish up candle right there

play20:37

continuing the trend now if we take a

play20:39

look at US Dollar Canadian Dollar on The

play20:41

Daily time frame here we see that we

play20:43

have this as our main target the highest

play20:45

swing point then before we reach that we

play20:48

actually have this swing point and this

play20:51

swing Point as well that will act as

play20:53

that resistance those unmitigated PD

play20:55

Rays now the important part that we see

play20:57

as well if we compare compare it to

play20:59

those perfect fair value gaps and also

play21:01

those rejection fair value gaps we do

play21:03

not create a rejection of those previous

play21:06

resistance areas now with that

play21:08

understanding and understanding that we

play21:10

can still continue higher towards this

play21:12

swing high right there whilst not

play21:14

creating a rejection that indicates that

play21:16

these right here are actually Breakaway

play21:19

gaps where most likely we can already

play21:21

deliver higher towards the Target that

play21:23

we have right there before we create a

play21:26

bigger retracement so if we go down time

play21:29

frames and we look at this area before

play21:31

we reach the highest swing point right

play21:33

there then we will see on the 1 hour

play21:36

right here we run into this resistance

play21:38

area this resistance area actually gives

play21:41

quite a big rejection I would argue on

play21:43

the 1 hour but afterwards it creates a

play21:45

new fair value Gap right here a new

play21:47

order flow lack to continue higher from

play21:50

and this is then a fair value Gap that

play21:53

we can again simply trade off of to then

play21:55

continue higher and afterwards we create

play21:57

even new F gaps right there and a small

play22:00

F Gap sitting right there which we can

play22:02

look to continue higher from to

play22:04

eventually reach the main target that we

play22:06

had right there that is how we can

play22:09

capitalize on a breakaway Gap now

play22:11

capitalizing on Breakaway gaps is a

play22:14

little bit more difficult requires in my

play22:16

opinion a little bit more experience as

play22:18

well so if you're just starting out and

play22:21

focusing on Fair Value gaps then just

play22:24

focus on the perfect fair value Gap

play22:27

because this again again is the best fvg

play22:30

to trade from and I want to emphasize on

play22:32

the fact on any given time frame so from

play22:36

the one minute to the yearly time frame

play22:37

it does not matter this is the easiest

play22:39

fair value Gap to capitalize on

play22:41

especially when you're just starting out

play22:44

breakway gaps are just a little more

play22:46

difficult so first gather experience

play22:49

with fair value gaps then eventually you

play22:52

can look into Breakaway gaps as well the

play22:54

rejection fair value gaps that we have

play22:57

you can simply avoid so only focusing

play23:00

right now on these perfect fair value

play23:02

gaps as our first line of defense this

play23:06

is then what we can trade from

play23:08

eventually and where we can use our

play23:09

entry confirmation now I highly

play23:12

recommend doing a case study because

play23:13

you'll never truly understand Concepts

play23:16

if you don't do a case study so the case

play23:19

study for this video is study which Fair

play23:22

Val gaps hold and which ones don't and

play23:25

then label them so what I mean by that

play23:27

go into any instrument let's say the

play23:29

dollar right here go into any time frame

play23:32

so let's pick the 15 minute simply Mark

play23:35

out all the fair value gaps that we had

play23:38

in recent price action right there then

play23:40

see off of which fair value gaps we

play23:43

actually followed through meaning we

play23:45

actually continued lower and created new

play23:48

fair value gaps right there see where

play23:50

they get created as well and then start

play23:53

labeling them so is it a rejection fair

play23:56

value Gap is it a perfect fair value gap

play23:58

or is is it a breakway gap you can again

play24:00

use the study notion that I made

play24:02

completely for free it's in the link in

play24:04

the description all right perfect thank

play24:06

you
