Decoded from: Smart Money Concepts: How I Combine Liquidity Sweeps, FVGs & Order Blocks (Full Strategy) by Smart Risk — watch the original

Strategy overview

A fair value gap (FVG) is the imbalance a fast move leaves behind when price travels too quickly for buyers and sellers to transact at every level — a footprint the market often revisits. This entry decodes a Smart Risk video whose interest is not the gap in isolation but how it slots between two other Smart Money Concepts tools: the liquidity sweep and the order block. The framing is deliberately first-person and integrative — "How I Combine Liquidity Sweeps, FVGs & Order Blocks" — presenting the three as parts of one workflow rather than three separate lessons.

Each piece answers a different question. A liquidity sweep marks where price runs through an obvious high or low to trip the stops resting there; an order block marks the origin candle from which an aggressive move began; and the fair value gap marks the imbalance that move left in its wake. Stacked together they form a confluence chain — the sweep signals that liquidity has been taken, the order block frames the zone where interest may return, and the gap offers a reference level inside it. The video's angle is precisely this assembly: how three concepts that are usually taught alone are sequenced into a single read.

Because this page has no extracted rule set, it does not reproduce the specific conditions, levels or thresholds the video uses to combine them — the "Full Strategy" label is the channel's own description of its content. What the page offers is the conceptual scaffolding: what each building block is, why SMC traders chain them, and where this Smart Risk version places its emphasis, so you can watch the source with the structure already in mind.

Frequently asked questions

What is a fair value gap (FVG)?

A fair value gap is a price imbalance left behind when a fast move skips levels that buyers and sellers didn't fully transact at. Traders watch these gaps because price often returns to fill them before continuing.

How do liquidity sweeps, FVGs and order blocks work together?

In Smart Money Concepts they describe different parts of one move: a liquidity sweep is the run that takes out resting stops, an order block is the origin zone of the move that follows, and the FVG is the imbalance that move leaves. This video's angle is combining all three into a single sequence rather than using any one in isolation.

What makes this Smart Risk video different from other FVG tutorials?

Rather than teaching the fair value gap on its own, it is a first-person walkthrough of how the creator stacks three SMC tools — sweeps, FVGs and order blocks — into one workflow, so the emphasis is on how the pieces fit together rather than on defining any single concept.

How can I study and test this strategy?

Watch the original Smart Risk video for the full presentation, then define and backtest any rules you extract on historical data before risking capital. Strategy Decoder catalogs strategies like this one from video sources so you can find and compare them.
