Strategy overview

A fair value gap (FVG) is the imbalance left on the chart when price moves so fast that one side barely trades, leaving a void the market often returns to. This entry is built around its mirror image — the inverse fair value gap (iFVG), a fair value gap that price trades straight through and invalidates, only for that broken gap to be retested from the other side and hold, flipping from a level that was supposed to support price into one that now rejects it. DodgysDD treats this failed-and-flipped gap not as a supporting detail but as the entire signal, and titles the video "My Perfect Model."

What sets this apart from FVG-as-confluence approaches is that the inverse gap *is* the model here, not one input among several. The source video, "My Perfect Model - The Inverse FVG Model (How to Use them to have High Win Rate in ICT)," frames it as DodgysDD's personal, repeatable routine rather than a generic concept — including a stated preference for taking the setup when there is only a single inverse FVG within the leg, and reading it across timeframes from a higher-timeframe frame down to the one-minute chart. The "high win rate" in the title is the creator's own framing of his method, not a measured or independently verified statistic.

From there the video walks through how the creator defines the inverse FVG, what turns it into a live entry, how he frames risk relative to the gap, and how he chooses targets and reads context around the setup. Because this page does not carry a codified rule set, it leans on that source video as the authoritative walkthrough of how the model is meant to be used, and on the Fair Value Gap concept hub for the underlying mechanics of why these gaps form — and why their failure is what this approach trades.

Frequently asked questions

What is an inverse fair value gap (iFVG)?

An inverse FVG is a regular fair value gap that price breaks through and invalidates. When that broken gap is later retested from the opposite side and holds, it flips its role — turning a former support zone into resistance, or the reverse — and that flip is what ICT-style traders treat as a signal.

How is the "Inverse FVG Model" different from using a normal fair value gap?

Most FVG setups wait for price to return to and respect an unfilled gap. DodgysDD's model instead waits for a gap to fail — to be traded through — and then keys off the retest of that failed gap. In this video the inverse gap is the core entry mechanic of a self-contained personal model, not one confluence signal among many.

Does "High Win Rate" in the video title mean the model is guaranteed to work?

No. That phrasing is the creator's own description of his approach, not a measured or independently verified result. Any win rate depends on the exact rules, market, and timeframe you apply it to, so it should be tested for yourself rather than taken at face value.

How can I evaluate a model like this before trading it?

Study the concept first, then backtest your own version on historical data before risking capital. Strategy Decoder catalogs strategies like this one from their source videos so you can understand the underlying idea and test it on TradingView.
