Strategy overview

In Smart Money Concepts, an imbalance — or Fair Value Gap (FVG) — is the price void left behind when one side moves so aggressively that the market skips fair two-way trade, an area price is often drawn back to fill later. This entry decodes a Spanish-language video from BELIKETHEALGO in which the FVG is not the headline act but one tool inside a broader SMC stack — liquidity, order blocks, imbalance and change of structure — presented behind a deliberately anti-hype pitch: the strategy, the creator says, is "boring," and that is the whole point.

What the video walks through rests on two mirror-image entry patterns built on liquidity. The sell pattern begins with price removing a previous high; the buy pattern begins with price removing a previous low — the classic liquidity grab that runs resting stop orders before the real move gets underway. Highs and lows on the H4 and H1 charts serve as the reference levels that matter for the day-trading decision, while imbalance and order blocks act as confirmation layered after the sweep rather than as standalone triggers, with execution dropping to the lower timeframes the setup lists.

The framing leans heavily on consistency and withdrawal proof — the title claims €55,181.82 per month — but that figure is the creator's own and is not verified here, and "I live off it" is a personal claim, not a tested result. Because no rule set was extracted for this entry, this page describes the concept and the video's approach rather than a step-by-step system; exactly how the sweep, the imbalance and the change of structure are combined into an entry stays with the source.

Frequently asked questions

What is an imbalance or Fair Value Gap (FVG) in Smart Money Concepts?

It is a price gap left when a fast, one-sided move skips over the levels where both buyers and sellers could have transacted, leaving an "unfair" area that many SMC traders expect price to revisit and fill. In this strategy the imbalance works alongside liquidity and order blocks rather than on its own.

What is the "boring" strategy in this BELIKETHEALGO video actually based on?

Per the video, it centers on two symmetric liquidity patterns: a sell setup that starts when price sweeps a previous high, and a buy setup that starts when price sweeps a previous low, using H4 and H1 highs and lows as the key reference levels. The "boring" label is the creator's way of positioning the method as repetitive and rule-based rather than exciting.

Is the €55,181.82/month figure in the title reliable?

Treat it as the creator's own marketing claim, not a verified or typical result. Trading videos routinely headline peak income figures, and this entry does not confirm any performance numbers — no metrics or results were extracted from the source.

How can I test an SMC liquidity strategy like this one?

Backtest the logic on historical data and forward-test it before risking capital, paying close attention to how the sweep, the imbalance and the structure shift are each defined.
