Floor 3: Imbalance

FVG Hunter

FVG Hunter asks you to drag a box onto a fair value gap: the space between the first and third candle of a fast three-candle move. The box is graded on its exact wick-to-wick bounds. It teaches you to mark a gap precisely, instead of shading the general area of a big candle.

What it teaches

Marking a fair value gap precisely.

  • A bullish fair value gap runs from the first candle's high to the third candle's low. A bearish one is the mirror image.
  • Wicks that touch leave no gap.
  • The middle candle is not the gap. The gap is the space the first and third candles fail to cover.
  • Precision with a thumb: placing an edge to the pip on a small screen.

How a round plays

  1. A simulated chart contains exactly one three-candle gap among ordinary candles.
  2. Drag a box over the gap, from the wick of the first candle to the wick of the third. The box snaps to wick tips.
  3. Fine-tune with the A and B buttons and the arrows: one edge moves a pip per press, or a tenth of a pip with the 0.1 button.
  4. Press "Check with the Lens". The Lens draws the exact gap next to your box and says how far each edge was off.
  5. A run is eight charts and takes about four minutes.

How it is graded

The rule here: for candles a, b and c, a bullish gap exists when c's low is above a's high, and the gap is exactly that span. Your box is graded on both price edges. Early levels allow a pip and a half, because the task is seeing the gap. Later levels allow half a pip.

The honest note

Marking a gap correctly is a reading skill. Whether price returns to a gap, and what it does there, is a separate question the game does not answer.
