Hey Traders,

I have been studying and trading ICT concepts for two years and I am developing a strategy using 1m FVGs (ES or NQ) that form during specific times of day.

Essentially I wait for a Session to exhibit strong directional momentum that then forms a clear Fair Value Gap (FVG) where I can enter after a rejection of the FVG. I'm looking to take profit at 2-3R.

Has anyone else had success trading FVGs that could offer some feedback/advice with this type of approach?

Thanks!

It's just S/R renamed, but boring S/R doesn't sale too well, so people come up with innovative names.

OTA Institutional S/R Zones, ICT, FVG, Delta zones, pivot zones, MP, VP etc etc etc..

So if your question is "can it be done"? Probably yes. Chocolate is still the same, just wrappers are changing depending on running trends due to basic human nature.

Do I know anyone or personally use ICT specifically to get it done? No.

Do what makes you feel confident in pulling the trigger.

Just my 2c

Regards

I'd personally avoid any time-based charts and for FVG using something like an 89 or 144 tick bar for NQ (applying price action logic as necessary, etc.)
