This report is structured for retail traders looking to optimize execution speed, reduce screen time, and increase precision using the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology. 1. Executive Summary The Fair Value Gap (FVG) is a three-candle imbalance pattern where the middle candle’s wick fails to overlap a portion of the adjacent candles, creating a “gap” in price delivery. While powerful, the standard FVG is often misused, leading to premature entries and long drawdowns.

applies FVG with specific time-based filters (Killzones), displacement confirmation, and mitigation rules—turning a common pattern into a high-probability, low-waiting-time setup. This report outlines how to execute FVG trades in under 15 minutes of active chart time per session. 2. The Core Concept: FVG as a Liquidity Tool In ICT methodology, an FVG is not a support/resistance zone for “bounce trades.” Instead, it represents inefficient price delivery —price moved too fast, leaving unfilled orders. The market must return to this gap to rebalance (mitigate it) before continuing in the original direction. Key Insight for Efficiency: Do not trade the first touch of an FVG. Wait for a mitigation (price enters the gap) coupled with a time-based trigger . 3. Time Efficiency Principle: Killzones Over Random Hours Efficiency comes from trading only during ICT Killzones (high-liquidity windows aligned with interbank session opens). Trading FVGs outside these windows leads to choppy, time-consuming noise. This report is structured for retail traders looking
