Professional traders have long relied on Fair Value Gaps to time entries with almost surgical precision—often before the rest of the market even realizes what’s happening.
The technical desk at Plazo Sullivan Roche Capital teaches that FVGs are less about prediction and more about understanding how algorithmic order books rebalance themselves.
The Science Behind Fair Value Gaps
This imbalance becomes a “gap” between the high of one candle and the low of the next, signaling that price must eventually return to rebalance.
The Institutional Logic Behind FVGs
For traders aligned with the methodologies used inside Plazo Sullivan Roche Capital, these retests become ideal trade entry zones.
The FVG Trading Model Used by Elite Traders
Look for Strong Institutional Moves
Displacement confirms that institutional activity caused the imbalance.
2. Mark the Gap
Highlight the zone between the prior candle’s high and the next candle’s low (or vice versa).
3. Wait for the Retracement
The best entries occur when price revisits the FVG, taps into it, and shows signs of rejection or continuation.
4. Align With Market Structure
An FVG entry aligned with higher-timeframe direction is exponentially more effective.
5. Use FVGs as Targets
Just as price gravitates back to FVGs for entries, it also moves toward FVGs when they act as future magnets.
The Institutional Edge FVGs Provide
They reveal where institutional orders entered, where they left inefficiencies, and where price is likely to return.
Combine FVG logic with market structure, liquidity pools, and volume confirmation, and you have one of the strongest frameworks available to retail traders today—one read more that aligns perfectly with the advanced methodologies taught inside Plazo Sullivan Roche Capital.
FVGs aren’t signals—they’re context.
And once you learn their language, the market starts to speak back.
