Understanding FVG in Trading



Fair Value Gaps come in two flavors that traders should recognize.

The red FVG signals a high-timeframe price imbalance created by sharp moves. When price revisits this zone later, it typically acts as solid resistance or becomes your target area. Think of it as the market leaving behind a gap it often wants to fill.

The green FVG sits smaller, existing within the internal structure. This one's your friend for fine-tuning entries—it helps identify precise spots to jump in and captures those quick reactions in the short term.

Knowing the difference between these two lets you layer your strategy: hunt bigger moves with red zones, dial in timing with green ones.

The Red-Green FVG strategy is basically about looking at the size of the gaps—buying the red ones at the bottom and positioning with the green ones. Simple and straightforward.

FVG this theory sounds pretty good, but can the red-green grading really stabilize profits? I think it still depends on market temperament...

The Red-Green FVG theory sounds good, but I still lost money after using it for half a year...

I've long understood the difference between red and green FVGs; the key still lies in execution.

Red and green FVG, one rough and one refined, the logic is indeed clear... but ultimately, making real money still depends on execution ability.

The red and green FVG set really needs to be clearly distinguished, otherwise it's easy to get trapped...
