Strategy overview

A fair value gap (FVG) is the price imbalance left behind when a candle moves so fast that it skips a zone where buyers and sellers never fully transacted, leaving a gap the market often returns to fill. This entry decodes a Spanish-language video from TradingICT — "La Estrategia con FVG más FÁCIL de ICT" — whose entire pitch sits in its title: the single easiest way to turn the FVG into a tradeable ICT setup, aimed squarely at the self-identified ICT student who is still learning Smart Money Concepts.

What sets this apart from other FVG material is the positioning rather than any new rule. Instead of presenting the gap as one array inside a ranking matrix, a definition buried in a structured course, or one pillar in a confluence stacked with order blocks and liquidity, TradingICT frames it as a self-contained on-ramp — the one ICT strategy a beginner can reach for first because it leans on the gap almost by itself. "Más fácil" here is a claim about accessibility, not about performance: the video is selling how simple the setup is to pick up, and that framing is best read as the channel's own angle, not as evidence the approach outperforms any other.

As always with ICT, "easiest to understand" is not the same as "easiest to trade profitably" — how the gap is qualified, where entry and stop sit relative to it, and what confirms the direction are the details that decide the outcome, and a deliberately stripped-down version leaves more of those choices to the trader. This page maps the FVG concept and how this particular video positions it as a first strategy for someone learning ICT from the ground up.

Frequently asked questions

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

A fair value gap is an imbalance left when price moves too quickly for both sides to transact, forming a gap between candles that price frequently revisits. In ICT it is read as a zone where the market may return to seek "fair value" before continuing.

What makes this the "easiest" FVG strategy?

The label comes straight from the source video's title ("la más FÁCIL"), which frames it as the most beginner-friendly way to trade the FVG rather than a proven or higher-performing one. It is a claim about how simple the setup is to learn, pitched at ICT students, not a statement about results.

Is an FVG strategy a good starting point for someone learning ICT?

The FVG is one of the more approachable ICT concepts because the gap is visually easy to spot on a chart, which is why this video presents it as a first strategy. Spotting a gap and building disciplined risk and confirmation rules around it are different skills, though — the accessibility of the idea does not remove the need to backtest before trading.

How can I test an FVG strategy like this one?

Test it on historical data before risking capital. Strategy Decoder extracts the structure of strategies like this from their video sources so you can review the concept and evaluate it on TradingView.
