Strategy overview

A fair value gap (FVG) is the price imbalance left behind when a move happens too fast for both sides to transact, leaving an unfilled zone that price often revisits before continuing. This entry decodes Gorka Fx's short-form clip "Mi Mejor Modelo de Entrada en 3 Simples Pasos" ("My Best Entry Model in 3 Simple Steps"), a Spanish-language SMC video that treats the FVG not as a concept to study in isolation but as the third and final step of a compact, ordered entry recipe — with "best" being the creator's own framing rather than a measured result.

What distinguishes this version is the sequence and its economy. Instead of stacking many confluences, the creator reduces the read to three moves in a fixed order: first mark the relevant liquidity levels on the higher timeframes; then wait for a break of structure to confirm which side is in control; and only then drop to the execution timeframes — M5 and M3 — to locate a point of interest, the FVG, as the actual entry trigger. Liquidity supplies the context, the structure break supplies the timing, and the gap supplies the precise entry, in that order. The whole model is compressed into a sub-minute clip, which is part of the point: it is pitched as a repeatable checklist rather than a discretionary judgment call.

That top-down framing — higher-timeframe liquidity feeding a lower-timeframe FVG entry — is what separates this read from an FVG taken in isolation or a bare two-mechanic breakout, since here the gap is the last link in a liquidity-then-structure chain rather than the setup itself. No specific rule set, parameters, or thresholds were extracted from this video, so this page describes the model's structure as the creator presents it rather than a full mechanical breakdown; how the liquidity levels are chosen, what counts as a valid break of structure, and how the FVG entry is filtered are the details that decide whether the sequence holds up.

Frequently asked questions

What is Gorka Fx's 3-step entry model?

It is a compact SMC entry routine that reduces the setup to three ordered steps: mark the relevant liquidity on the higher timeframes, wait for a break of structure to confirm direction, then identify a point of interest — a fair value gap — as the entry. The video presents it as the creator's preferred, repeatable entry sequence.

Where does the fair value gap fit in this model?

The FVG is the final step, the entry trigger. Liquidity identification provides the higher-timeframe context and the break of structure confirms the direction; only then is the FVG used on the lower timeframes to time the actual entry.

What timeframes does this model use?

It works top-down: higher timeframes are used to identify liquidity, while the entry itself is executed on the lower timeframes, specifically M5 and M3 as shown in the video.

How can I test a fair value gap entry model like this?

Backtest the sequence on historical data and forward-test it on a demo before risking capital, paying close attention to how you define liquidity, a valid break of structure, and a tradeable gap.
