Strategy overview

A fair value gap is the imbalance left on the chart when price moves so quickly that one side of the market never gets to transact there. What distinguishes this entry is that the gap is never treated as a signal on its own: the video pairs it with order blocks, liquidity and market structure, presenting the combination — not any single element — as the condition worth waiting for.

The source is Trader DNA's video "🔴 This Signal Shows Up Just Once A Week ...FVG + Order Block = 98% WINNER", and its running order is the interesting part. It opens on the fair value gap, moves to liquidity, then spends the middle of the video on market maker behaviour and the question of who is in control, before arriving at order blocks last. That sequence reflects a particular way of teaching ICT: the gap and the order block are the visible marks, while liquidity and control are the reasoning that decides whether a given mark means anything. Read that way, the "once a week" framing is a consequence of the method rather than a claim about the market — stacking four conditions naturally leaves few candidates.

The headline win rate in the title is the creator's own promotional framing, and it should be read as such; no independent verification of it exists here, and confluence-based setups are notoriously sensitive to how each condition is defined. This page catalogs the ICT concepts the video works with — fair value gaps, order blocks, breaker blocks, liquidity and market structure — and points to where the source covers each. Anyone wanting to use the approach will need to define those conditions precisely and test them, since the video presents the reasoning visually rather than as a fixed rule set.

Frequently asked questions

What does it mean to combine a fair value gap with an order block?

It means requiring two forms of evidence at the same price area before acting: the imbalance left by a fast move (the fair value gap) and the candle or zone from which that move originated (the order block). The idea is that a gap sitting inside an order block carries more weight than either mark on its own.

Why would this kind of setup only appear about once a week?

Because it asks for several conditions to line up simultaneously — an imbalance, an order block, a liquidity event and a supportive market structure read. The more conditions a setup requires, the rarer it becomes by construction. The specific weekly frequency is the creator's own characterization, not a measured statistic.

Should I trust the win rate quoted in the video title?

Treat headline win rates in video titles as marketing rather than data. They are typically not accompanied by a sample size, a time period, or a definition of what counts as a win, and confluence setups are especially sensitive to how each condition is defined. Verify any such claim yourself before it influences risk decisions.

What else does the video cover besides fair value gaps and order blocks?

It also works through liquidity, market maker behaviour, and reading which side of the market is currently in control — the market structure layer that gives the other concepts their context.
