all right this is attempt number two to make this video um we are currently in Miami right now and I recorded this I recorded this um out on the balcony but my uh computer overheated so this is going to be take two and probably a sloppier version of it but uh what's good Jets uh welcome to [ __ ] boot camp day I don't even know 16 or 15 maybe four I have no clue what day it is um but yeah we're in this [ __ ] I think we tapped it what like uh we've
stopped two weeks now right um but anyways today we're talking about fair value gaps um liquidity voids imbalances whatever you guys want to call them in the market and most of the time we would do this on like a little chart but as you guys know how we've been setting like this whole [ __ ] up uh for you know this boot camp I'm pretty much going to split up all those little building blocks into three separate videos um just so you guys have like a chance to take everything in and like actually properly understand
the [ __ ] um so today it's literally just gonna be one-on-one me explaining what fair value gaps are why we want to use them how we can understand them in the market to you know actually be confident in taking a trade based off of it because for me I would much rather you know have a uh take a trade based off of actual like Market Confluence and orders being filled and actually seeing that versus oh it bounced off a floor or like it hit a ceiling so it's going to go down like are we
being dead ass about that off of a drawing that you put on chart you know like I have no hate towards supporting resistance Traders it just doesn't make sense to me why you would you know essentially bet on something um like that but I mean hey some people make money doing it this just makes more sense to me it makes me feel safer about putting money into the market so with that being said let's get into fair value gaps part [ __ ] one boys um so what is a fair value Gap what's a liquidity
void what's an imbalance it's literally all of those are pretty much the same thing so I like to call it just a liquidity void so similar to how we talked about liquidity in those past three trading videos that's where you know orders are residing that's where Market wants to Target to take out those orders to execute those orders at this certain price point this is quite literally the opposite this is a void a price range where there are no no contradicting orders so if we see a big move up right why are we seeing that
move up in the first place because there's no sell orders through that price range that's the that's the liquidity void that's the imbalance that's the fair value Gap same thing to the downside right if we see a big drop to the downside with no like hesitation and it just dumps right that's a liquidity void that's the imbalance and why is why is it a liquidity void because there's literally no no resting buy orders throughout that massive drop down if there were resting buy orders price would go down oh pull up a little bit go down
a little bit more yes maybe it's bearish and it still closes bearish but there's still resting buy orders so this is what um it helps us do we can actually be able to spot where there is no liquidity on the market and if we think about this logically right when we're within a trend and price obviously moves with higher highs and higher lows where are those higher lows going to draw to where are those retracements going to draw to you know probably into those areas that where liquidity was not before right and then what's going
to happen once we get into those areas market makers can execute their orders because they know right there is a emptiness of liquidity they know that right when they Place their orders within there Market's going to move in their Direction so how is this beneficial to us how can we you know we'll talk about how we can spot it in two days on the next trading video but why is this beneficial to us one it helps us accurately kind of understand okay where does price want to draw to when it's retracing right fair value gaps
are used for retracements I don't use fair value gas for like entries necessarily I use liquidity sweeps to understand where Market's going and then I use fair value gaps to kind of like figure out where price maybe wants to draw to or for like a secondary entry and we'll go into all of that stuff once we get deeper into strategy but um this is super useful because we see price in an uptrend drawing back down and we can find a liquidity void and then we see a reaction off of that or like a breaker structure
on a lower time frame boom like why wouldn't you execute that because you know there's a lack of orders lying within there you know the trend is going up and if you see a breaker structure on a smaller time frame after a fair value gap or an imbalance or liquidity void getting filled on a larger time frame why wouldn't you enter there you know that's literally you know you see okay prices in this range where there's a lack of liquidity for opposing orders right if we're in an uptrend there's no sell orders laying within here
and then we see a breaker Market structure on a lower time frame why wouldn't you execute right doesn't that make so much sense for you to execute on a trade like that versus oh price hit my [ __ ] ceiling are we being dead ass right now like let's use our let's use our brains okay um so I mean with that being said that's that that literally is what what fair value gaps are it's literally just a lack of orders within the market and that's what causes the imbalance to be made the um the big
ass candle right you guys are and we'll talk about how to spot them in two days but when you guys like see them within the market most the time it's a big candle down why because there's literally no orders stopping it from dropping that far down um same thing with the upside there's no sell orders within there that's stopping it from pushing so high up um and then when price comes back into that range right it gives the market makers to you know the opportunity to keep pushing price in the direction that they want to
um and again once we start getting all these pieces it's like you know I'm sure even after this video you'll you guys were so we'll start looking into that even more by just seeing okay we got liquidity sweep breaker structure we see the trend starting to form and then okay now I have a fair value Gap oh I notice it gets filled smaller time frame break of structure boom we're in okay and it's it's literally as simple as that like that people really make trading a lot harder than it has to be and you guys
can really [ __ ] simplify it if you just say okay this is exactly how price moves you know what do we use for Value gaps for retracements cool when we see a retracement in the market figure out where the imbalance is scale down to a lower time frame find a break of structure continuation boom like come on like that [ __ ] is so easy um and then you know liquidity sweeps okay we see liquidity taken out of the market okay if we see a breakup structure perfect execute right all of these building blocks
we I pretty much have the set up so it's like one size fits all right you can trade this on any time frame you can trade this with any [ __ ] pair right you can literally apply these Concepts to every Financial Market um because this is how price literally moves this is how the market moves and that's why I love the way that I trade because you can do this on any time frame if you can't sit on your computer for like two hours a day um you know like scalping or like you know
actually monitoring it you can do swing trades where it takes several days to hit um and as we start adding all the building blocks you'll start to see like okay I can use this I can use this and I don't really understand this so I don't need it right that's the nice thing about this all of these are pretty much execution like pieces and it's just like which ones you want to use and the more that you know the better because then it's like holy [ __ ] now I have like five different confirmations that
I can go off of that are all very high Confluence and that are all based off of actually like Market execution and orders being filled who wouldn't want to place a bet on that that's why I love trading because I can be like okay yeah I'm actually going to bet on this because I actually believe in this versus you know oh like I think it's going to go down because it you know like hit a ceiling just [ __ ] don't make no sense um so with that being said that's where value gaps explained we'll
talk about how to spot them tomorrow no homework today um actually the only homework you have to do is like do something that's actually productive um don't sit around um I mean if you're watching this video odds are you're doing something productive right now but um do something else after this video so you watch this video go take notes go on a run go to the gym do something that's hard do something that's uncomfortable trust that's where you grow all right when you put yourself in uncomfortable situations that's where the growth begins and amen I'm
still trying to you know get uncomfortable even while on vacation we're in Miami right now I very well could have just said like yo the Wi-Fi's ass um I don't want to upload this video but here I am on vacation making a [ __ ] video and uploading it on ass Wi-Fi so um and and then after this it's like cool now I feel accomplished I feel okay with myself like I feel proud of myself I've got something good done for today and then I can go have my fun like there's there's a there's a
perfect balance of having fun and actual work like and to be able to understand that like if you're working 24 7 that's why I always say like take one day off if you're working 24 7 bro you're going to get burnt out you need a good balance but it's also like you can't just say oh yeah I want my balance and then just like not actually work right there's there's you know you you know the difference um but yeah that being said go do something fun uh do something productive and then go do something fun
um I'll see you guys tomorrow when we talk more about discipline and how we can you know actually start [ __ ] whipping your ass into shape because we know how [ __ ] terrible you guys are at staying disciplined Within These markets so hopefully we can start talking about some tips some tricks some actual exercises um for you guys to start practicing to you know actually get you in mind so that being said I'll see you boys tomorrow peace out
