Backtoast

Fair value gap

Checked

A fair value gap is three candles where the middle one runs so far that the wick of the first and the wick of the third never meet, and people treat that empty band as a place price may come back to. Michael J. Huddleston teaches it inside ICT, Inner Circle Trader. The timeframe and the entry aren't one rule, and Backtoast hasn't run one.

The gap between the first candle's high and the third candle's low. A drawn example, not a backtest.

The three candles

On a bullish gap the third candle's low sits above the first candle's high, and the middle candle is the one that traveled through the empty band. A bearish gap is the mirror, with the third candle's high under the first candle's low. Some write-ups mark the band from the wicks and some mark it from the bodies, and what you do when price comes back isn't one rule.

The same lessons call the last opposing candle an order block, and both pieces sit inside ICT trading strategy.
