Strategy overview

A fair value gap is the imbalance a market leaves behind when price moves one way fast enough that the candles around it don't overlap, creating a zone price often returns to later. This entry decodes dhesi_trades' video "I Explained My Trading Strategy in 3 Minutes," a deliberately compressed personal walkthrough that does something most FVG content does not: it anchors the whole method on the *Monthly* fair value gap and uses it purely to set directional bias.

That choice is what sets this version apart. Instead of treating the gap as an intraday trigger, the video works top-down across an unusually wide span of timeframes — reading the Monthly gap for the longer-term lean, waiting for a Daily inversion fair value gap to confirm that a level has flipped its role, and then using that inversion to point toward the liquidity the trade is aiming for. The higher timeframe answers "which way"; the inversion on the lower one answers "is it time."

Because the entire idea is delivered in roughly three minutes, the video reads more as a map of how the pieces connect than a click-by-click tutorial — bias from the Monthly FVG, confirmation from the Daily inversion, a liquidity target, and a note on where stops sit relative to that structure. It's a useful reference for anyone trying to see how a single ICT mechanic can operate at the bias level and the execution level at the same time.

Frequently asked questions

What is an inversion fair value gap (IFVG)?

An inversion fair value gap is a fair value gap that fails: price trades fully back through the imbalance instead of respecting it, so the zone flips its role — former support starts acting as resistance, or vice versa. In this strategy that flip is what signals a level has changed hands.

Why does this strategy read the Monthly fair value gap?

In dhesi_trades' walkthrough the Monthly fair value gap is used to set directional bias — the longer-term lean everything else is measured against — rather than as an entry signal. The lower-timeframe confirmation is what times the actual trade.

How does the video split bias and confirmation?

It works top-down. The Monthly fair value gap provides the bias, and a Daily inversion fair value gap provides the confirmation before the setup targets liquidity — the higher timeframe decides direction while the lower one decides timing.

How can I test a multi-timeframe FVG strategy like this one?

Because the logic spans the Monthly chart down to intraday timeframes, backtest each layer on historical data before trading it live. Strategy Decoder extracts the structure of strategies like this one from video sources so you can review and test them on TradingView.
