Strategy overview

A fair value gap is the imbalance a fast move leaves behind when one side of the market never gets the chance to transact, and ICT treats those unfilled zones as reference areas price tends to revisit. This entry is drawn from a Spanish-language lesson on the TradingICT channel, published under the channel's "Curso de Trading" banner — which places it inside a teaching sequence rather than presenting it as a standalone signal to trade on its own.

What distinguishes this particular treatment is its scope. The title names Forex and Crypto in the same breath and frames the application as intraday, with no symbol, session or session-opening anchor attached. The implication is that the FVG is being taught as a property of order flow rather than of any one market: if the imbalance mechanism is the same everywhere, the lesson does not need to be re-specified per instrument. The chapter markers follow that logic in order — what an FVG is, how one forms, and why it carries weight within the ICT framework — a sequence that ends on significance rather than on an entry.

No rule set was extracted from this source, so what this page carries is the concept and its position in the ICT vocabulary, not an executable intraday plan. The decisions that turn an FVG into a trade remain with the reader: which gaps are worth marking, how much retracement counts as a fill, what invalidates the zone, and which structural or liquidity context has to agree before it is acted on.

Frequently asked questions

What is a fair value gap (FVG) in ICT?

A fair value gap is a price imbalance created when a move is fast enough that buyers and sellers do not fully transact across a range of prices. In ICT methodology it is read as an area of unfinished business that price may return to before continuing.

Does the FVG concept work the same on Forex and Crypto?

The source video presents it that way — it names both Forex and Crypto and teaches the gap as a formation of order flow rather than a market-specific pattern. In practice, differences in liquidity, spread and session behavior mean the same concept behaves differently across instruments, which is why context matters more than the pattern itself.

Is this video in Spanish?

Yes. It is a Spanish-language lesson from the TradingICT channel, published as part of the channel's trading course series, so the explanation and terminology are delivered in Spanish.

Does this page include entry and exit rules for trading the FVG?

No. No rule set was extracted from this source, so the page covers the concept and its role in the ICT framework rather than a defined setup. Strategy Decoder extracts structured rules only when the source video actually specifies them.
