Entry Model: FVG / IFVG

The FVG Entry Model

Fair Value Gaps provide some of the most precise entries because they represent measurable imbalance in price.

Standard FVG Entry

• •Identify an FVG on H1/H4 in the direction of the trend
• •Wait for price to retrace into the gap
• •Enter when price touches the FVG zone with LTF reaction
• •Stop below the FVG, target at the next liquidity pool

IFVG (Inversion FVG) Entry

An IFVG forms when price fills an FVG and then uses it as a launchpad in the opposite direction:

• •A bullish FVG gets filled (bearish retracement goes through it)
• •Price then uses the filled gap as a resistance zone (it's now bearish)
• •Enter short on the retest of the inverted FVG

Why FVG Entries Are Powerful

• •Measurable: The gap has exact boundaries – no ambiguity
• •Time-sensitive: Fresh gaps fill faster
• •Probabilistic: FVGs fill more often than not, but the exact rate varies by instrument, timeframe, and market condition – this is exactly the kind of number you should measure yourself in your own backtest (see Module 8: Why Backtesting is Everything), not take on faith.

Entry Rules

• •Entry: At the 50% mark of the FVG (optimal fill)
• •Stop Loss: Beyond the full FVG body
• •Take Profit: Opposing FVG or liquidity level
• •Minimum R:R: 1:2

"The gap IS the entry. No guessing, no hoping – the market told you exactly where to go."
