Strategy overview

A fair value gap (FVG) is the price imbalance left behind when a candle moves so fast that both sides cannot transact across its full range, leaving a zone the market often revisits later. In this entry that single idea is deliberately not treated as a standalone signal: Neeraj joshi's video positions the FVG as a confirmation tool inside a larger ICT-style *manipulation model*, where the driving question is where liquidity is engineered and taken before price actually runs.

The video is episode 9 of an ICT + SMC course and is organized around three overlapping ideas. The Power of Three — ICT's accumulation–manipulation–distribution (AMD) cycle — reads a session as a build-up, a stop-run in the deceptive direction, and then delivery in the intended one. The Silver Bullet supplies a time-bounded execution window, and the Venom Model layers these together. Against that structural backdrop, the fair value gap and its failed counterpart, the inverse fair value gap (IFVG) — a gap that flips its role once price closes back through it — serve as the entry-confirmation layer, alongside ICT kill zones and a change-in-sentiment cue used to judge when direction has turned.

What distinguishes this version is the two-timeframe workflow it walks through: a one-hour chart is used to mark the Silver Bullet setup, while a five-minute chart is used to confirm and time the entry. This page collects the concepts the video builds on and how the FVG connects to them; the source video itself steps through both a long and a short example on the chart.

Frequently asked questions

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

An FVG is a price imbalance left by a fast, one-sided move — a zone where price skipped past fair two-way transaction and which the market frequently returns to. In ICT-style trading it is used as a reference area for entries and for reading whether a move has left unfinished business behind.

What is the manipulation model this video teaches?

It frames the market through ICT's Power of Three, or accumulation–manipulation–distribution (AMD): price first builds a range, then runs stops in the deceptive direction to engineer liquidity, then delivers in the intended direction. The Silver Bullet window and the Venom Model are the timing and execution layers built on top of that read.

What is an inverse fair value gap (IFVG)?

An IFVG is a fair value gap that fails — for example, a bearish gap that price later closes back above — flipping its expected role from resistance to support (or vice versa). In this video it is used as a confirmation that sentiment may have shifted, rather than as a signal on its own.

How can I study or test a setup like this before trading it?

Because it leans on timing windows, liquidity runs and multi-timeframe confirmation, a setup like this is best studied on a chart before any live use. Strategy Decoder extracts the concepts a video like this is built on so you can review them and test the individual pieces on TradingView.
