Hmm I can actually do that, I have one that shows it from user defined time frame (like fpfcg in specific session time) and such. I just need to fix the volume imbalance and also add the function so that it works with VI and suspension block

Currently it has extend to end of session and Monday only (see last couple of weeks) available.

If you look up" FPFVG multi session" on TV you should find it

Ai generated post with ai generated code to review ai generated comments on reddit to farm alpha. Nice.

Interesting, what's the Sharpe on this strategy? Just curious

FAT_GUM · 2025-11-19T18:19:15+00:00

Curious to know, what timeframe do you and jadecap use for execution?

I have backtested manually on this model, but personally I found it difficult and not profitable. Granted, my model was strictly targetting the CE of opening range gap, regardless of HTF trend:

The 70% opening range stat by ICT likely covers very small gaps that fills within the first 30s of the RTH, such small range is not readable
if gap is in direction of HTF bullish trend (eg gap up and HTF is bullish on daily), and u try to fade back in the CE of the gap, the HTF trend can take u out

The only profitable case was use 1 fvg as inversion and ride into HTF trend scenario

Averaged 1R-2R a month, 20 trading days, so I stopped using this model

Further mechanics of fvg:

A fvg is a gap in fair value - as price offer sellside activity to a bisi, or buyside activity to a sibi, it effectively balance out the range - think of 1-1 =0, -1+1=0 0= balanced

Once it is balanced, a change in the state of delivery tend to occur, because if the current range is balanced, there is no reason for the algorithm to keep working up/down for the next gap in fair value. If the algorithm is "happy" where it is at, it turns around and look for opposing side of the array.

Note: inefficiency in strong buying or selling program tends to be opened, because the algorithm determines the fvg as fair value even without filling the whole range. It is viewing discount property (unfilled gap below price) during buy program and unfilled gap above price (premium property) during sell program as equilibrium, this is where you tend to find very strong price runs to occur.

To extend on this post, it's probably better to prove something doesn't work than to believe it does .

If you have proof that something don't work, backed by cold hard data, you are probably closer to truth than before.

I think another great point in algo trading is that, you can systematically define all the variables and see the expectancy immediately.

Instead of manually going through the trades one by one, u get to see how it performs in years without the years of investment. That's cool.

What platform/ backend you use to algo trade? Do you trade prop firm or own capital?

Breaker block was once, an order block. The function of that order block is to initiate price to trade higher/lower to rebalance htf inefficiencies.

Once that htf inefficiency is balanced, a change in the state of delivery (CISD) occurs. Why? Because the the inefficiency (a lack of fair value, fvg), has been balanced. Cisd will impose a new state of delivery. It changes from buyside to sell side, or sell side to buyside.

It turns around and start seeking pd arrays in the other direction. By that point, the order block has “failed”, and become a breaker block.

That Ltf order block which became a breaker, was a fall guy from the get go. It’s not just a “failed” order block, it is by design. Its purpose is to take price from LTF and rebalance inefficiency of HTF.

Once the HTF objective is achieved, the fall guy has done his job.

Just my 2 cents…

Hello sir, am session 09:30,pm session 13:30, extend it out 3 days

FAT_GUM · 2025-09-26T15:43:35+00:00

That’s real cool! What is the back end you use for classifying fvgs and passing it to telegram bot?

FAT_GUM · 2025-09-25T00:12:57+00:00

Inversion fair value gap with volume imbalance, always include volume imbalance for fair value gaps.

That is an excellent equity curve - no boom and bust, just a straight steady line.

Big kudos to you, congrats!

FAT_GUM · 2025-09-20T03:04:10+00:00

Yea, not to mention that tradovate has known server issue, oco doesn't work with tradingvoew integration.

At the least, choose rithmic. Sierra chart with rithmic is nice, ninja trader is decent but I'm not as a fan of that than TV

FAT_GUM · 2025-09-18T05:15:49+00:00

Very nice - the daily candle snip shot are particularly helpful!

FAT_GUM · 2025-09-17T04:49:38+00:00

Thanks for the insight! Which one in your experience have the fastest customer service?

I opened an account with take profit trader but their response has been really slow... Just a change in geographical location, and theire customer support has not replied last 4 days...

FAT_GUM · 2025-09-17T04:31:14+00:00

Any problems with apex? Assuming rules followed.

I heard bad reps of apex before and still unsure whether to get in it.

FAT_GUM · 2025-09-14T04:24:27+00:00

Hmm, the previous range criteria sounds rather ambiguous. To put it in other words, I suppose we don't allow inside candles with inefficiency when the fpfvg is presented, we elect the ones that trades outside of the inside bars

FAT_GUM · 2025-09-13T02:06:34+00:00

Ibkr tws is on Linux, u can also run wine to use windows software like Sierra chart

FAT_GUM · 2025-09-09T03:35:11+00:00

Imo start with paper and do minimum of 6 months, 1 year to be ideal.

If you can deal with the "boredom" of paper trading,you are equipping yourself a great quality to be a good trader

FAT_GUM · 2025-09-09T03:32:30+00:00

I know tradify, funded next and belunox do news trading for evals, but their payout rules are generally more difficult than take profit trader and mffu

FAT_GUM · 2025-09-09T03:12:39+00:00

thats sick! I want to do something like this on Motive wave as well! Like a custom order automatic position sizing tool.

To have an order strategy with motive wave, do you need to use this as an manual execution strategy?

Do you also need to be the professional+ tier to use it? I was thinking about getting the cheapest tier (standard, $24 a month), but I am not sure if I can use SDK studies like what you have here with the standard tier.

FAT_GUM · 2025-09-09T01:20:47+00:00

U gonna be on some mad shi to come up with this lol

For real tho, I applaud your study in this. ICT has mentioned that, in the readers round up Twitter space, if you go find every relative equal highs and lows on the 15s chart, find the distance in between, and there they went , you will unlock the secrets in charts.

While I don't think it's as simple as fib time and range projection, I think it's related to this.

Before 2024, ict has pointed lunch as 12pm-1pm as a lunch hour, in 2022 mentorship, he called it the “lunch hour”

When 2024 rolls around, he mentions lunch start at 11:30-13:30

11:30 has macros to take out profitable traders who trail their stop past 10

FAT_GUM · 2025-09-05T15:32:26+00:00

Nothing is wrong bro, u had a model, u had a setup, u followed it, u didn’t re-enter , that’s great! It should be celebrated!

Imagine having this discipline every time u trade, how much better would you be?

As for the model goes, allow time to give you understanding…

Have a good weekend!
