Finance-focused “gap fill” trading framework

The speaker discusses a “gap fill” trading concept tied to fair value gaps (FVGs). Rather than focusing only on the gap’s extremes, the approach emphasizes using specific portions of the gap (referred to as “sensitive areas”).

The setup is also described as being more effective when combined with liquidity—specifically engineered liquidity levels.

Key instruments / tickers / assets

  • No specific market tickers, stocks, ETFs, bonds, FX pairs, or commodities are mentioned.
  • The only explicit numeric references are price levels from example trades:
    • 503 (linked to a 4-hour wick / engineered liquidity below a CE)
    • 477 (another example after applying the same setup)
    • 90 points (fair value gap size, noted on the 4-hour timeframe)
    • 50 points (a “top tick reaction” observed when dropping to lower timeframes)
    • 250 points (a selloff using the very top of a 1-hour efficiency)

Methodology / step-by-step framework

  1. Identify an FVG / inefficiency (the “gap”).
  2. Choose a precise retracement level within the FVG:
    • The speaker says they mostly use the 50% mark of the fair value gap.
  3. Account for the “sensitive area” of the FVG:
    • For a bullish FVG, the speaker highlights the very low as a premium discount level that is highly sensitive and may fill the entire gap.
  4. Integrate liquidity / engineered liquidity:
    • The speaker repeatedly emphasizes engineered liquidity and claims it improves win rate when combined with FVG/gap-fill levels.
    • Example: entries are tied to where liquidity sits “below” a wick / CE on the 4-hour chart.
  5. Use multiple timeframes:
    • On higher timeframes, price may appear to “run through” the gap fill.
    • On lower timeframes, there can be a meaningful reaction (e.g., the ~50-point reaction cited).

Key numbers, timelines, and outcomes

Timeframe emphasis

  • Examples primarily reference the 4-hour timeframe.
  • The approach is said to work on lower timeframes for improved entries.

Example trade timing (relative)

  • “Yesterday” — connected to the 503 level example.
  • “Today” — connected to the 477 example, described as the exact same setup.

Reaction and selloff examples

  • ~50 points: described as a “top tick reaction” when viewed on lower timeframes.
  • ~250 points: described as a selloff using the very top of a 1-hour efficiency.

Recommendations and cautions

Recommendation

Combine FVG/gap-fill levels with liquidity / engineered liquidity to improve win rate.

Trade-off / caution (preference-based)

  • Using only the very low of the FVG may cause missed opportunities (the speaker frames this as missing a fair amount of entries).
  • This is presented as a personal preference trade-off between:
    • the best entry (more selective) vs.
    • more frequent trades.
