Fair Value Gap (FVG) Trading
A Fair Value Gap (FVG) is a 3-candle imbalance where price moved so fast that no overlap exists between candle 1 and candle 3. Markets tend to revisit these gaps to rebalance. TradeMine AI auto-detects FVGs and uses them as high-probability entry zones inside larger SMC setups.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Fair Value Gap?
A 3-candle pattern where the wick of candle 1 and the wick of candle 3 don't overlap, creating an imbalance the market typically returns to fill.
How reliable are FVG entries?
FVG alone is moderate. FVG combined with an aligned order block and HTF bias is very high probability.
Do all FVGs get filled?
No — strong trending moves often leave FVGs unfilled for sessions. TradeMine filters for FVGs aligned with HTF bias.
Best timeframe for FVG trading?
1H and 4H FVGs are the sweet spot for swing. 15m FVGs work intraday with strict HTF alignment.
