You are definitely making a whole lot of sense here...bit I wanna make one thing clear and that is....for a FVG to be of a higher probability setup ,it needs other confluences like support or resistance before the inefficiency leading to a BOS or COCH was created.... because the only reason why the demand zone works is because of it is also accompanied by a support or resistance level.
I apparently watched this video months ago and made a negative comment. Watching it again and really listening to his reasoning and logic, JE makes perfect sense. It's still challenging and frustrating to wait for structural shift, see the fractal shifting, and then not get filled as an FVG forms, doesn't fill newly created imbalances and then continues to run away to target.
Imbalance and FVG is the same. It's a 3 candle formation with a gap between first high and third low (for a bullish one) and first low and third high (bearish one). And like every concept in trading not all fair value gaps gonna hold. Sometimes its overlaps with an Order block that's why price get to fill the fair value gap or imbalance before rejecting. We have to take into consideration higher timeframe bias or orderflow if you like and see the bigger picture. 😊
Great analysis. For me the difference comes from the asset you're using. In ICT, that last upclose candle that created the bearish FVG is an Order Block. Gold often uses imbalance theory and trades from the order blocks and rarely leaves imbalances before hitting next liquidity targets. Indices do not play as fair and can often tap once, twice, thrice into an fvg and may never fill the imbalance completely or the same day if there is enough volume or news. They are both really a matter of perspective and risk and reward.
Awesome video. The last statement you made at the end of this video is so important. I would love to see it an entire video expanding upon that last sentiment.
Hahahaha Test everything I say in backtesting before trading it live. I drop some good wisdom… but the best way to validate it & trade it successfully is to test it for yourself 😎
I have been using his concepts. I will say have watched all of his 7-steps videos for beginners, watched ~75 - 80 percent of his UA-cam videos repeatedly more than 3 times. I have been smashing it back to back. Even the old videos like a year or two years ago, I had watch most of them repeatedly and during weekends, his videos are my "Netflix". People in his inner circle or academy must be enjoying big time. How I wish, James Edward could give a scholarship into his academy. With his concepts I analyze and send signals to a WhatsApp groups I belong to.
The point is, that an FVG or IMB is not an area of high volume, it is vice versa. The only thing that a so called FVG can do is to turn a previous SnR level - which contains the volume - into the an untested level to trade from - Support becomes Resistance / Resistance becomes support. This is what the FVG traders are trading without knowing it - the volume on the left side of the FVG.
this is perhaps the best, fairest and clearest discussion of differences in real time with use of FVG vs. more simply "inbalances" (or "market inefficiences") . nicely done. now there are signficant differences in how "the draw on liquidity" is understood and analyzed (the focus on diff times as well as diff market conditions and their effects, i.e. FED speak days, key economic calendar days, etc. etc) then the more generalized approach of Wycoff supply and demand thinking. be great to hear you do similar tutorial , compare and contrast how to think in terms of analyzing for bias prior to taking a trade in the mkts (by that i mean how one implements these analytic tool sets to evaluate the general situation at the opening etc. etc.) -- (i.e. Smart Money Concept approach vs Wycoffian supply and demand approach). in any case, thanks again
It is me from Myanmar. I just started learning trading and your each and every videos helps me to understand clearly. Thank you very much. God bless you.
It took me four years to discover that forecasting the market based on charts is pointless; you never know what will happen. Without a mentor, those four years were miserable. Now, I watch market trends and keep things basic and disciplined. I currently earn an average of $35k every week, despite the fact that I barely trade myself Thanks Rolando Diaz....
Well...I will advise you should stop trading on your own if you keep losing and start trading with an expert because trading with an expert is the best strategy for newbie...
You're right! I have lost a lot trading all by myself without a guide. It's been an uneasy ride for me. Who is your mentor please. how can i reach him i really need help in this bear market now?
What they do is to go inside the Daily FVG and see if there’s a 15M flip. Then the SL goes below that 15M structure point. So not exactly blindly put a limit order on the FVG regardless of the timeframe. Now if you refine too much down to a 1M or 5M flip, since now the risks are small, entering on the FVG in those TFs can increase your chance of getting in.
Take a look at Arjo's concept of a sharp turn. An FVG was created going into that supply zone and and one going the opposite direction afte, FVG in FVG out, a sharp turn. Making it a hugher probability FVG
I primarily trade order blocks/ imbalances. Do you feel that imbalances/ order blocks are a more guaranteed way of trading? What should you do if only the fair value Gap gets mitigated but the order block/imbalance doesn't get mitigated? Should I wait a month until it gets mitigated to trade off of it? The reason why I asked is because I've seen some imbalances not get mitigated for a long time
Great video bro . I learned the fvg but prefer imbalance yet for one particular asset I use fvg aligned with POI which imcludes round numbers. Thanks for another great video; bless
It was there in books written a long time ago and supply and demand traders used to trade them as gaps way before and ICT gave it a fancy name. So no… we don’t owe it to ICT
I think it should be good to enter at the FVG of lower timeframe when the price retrces back to it and place the stop losss below or above the demand or supply zones
Can you please explain in more detail using the weekly time frame and applying it on a smaller time frames so I can have a better understanding and what is the right time to execute the trades and one is the wrong time to do it.
I just figured out yesterday that most rich crypto holders invest with professional crypto traders to learn new strategies and earn huge amount of money.
You're right! I have lost a lot trading all by myself without a guide. It's been an uneasy ride for me. Who is your mentor please. how can i reach him i really need help in this bear market now?
The concept of "PDArrays" does address your concerns when you talk about trading the demand and supply zones .. aka .. imbalances ... what would be your take on that ?
This was a very informative video. The funny thing is it seems like you start by saying FVGs and Imbalances are the same thing except for how you trade them, but then you went into detailed examples and I saw the true value of this video. The irony is how the video ends with you saying that both FVG and Imbalance trading strategies are valid and equally successful. So in a fight between FVGs and Imbalances, the result is a Draw. 😅
Yes! Visually they’re the same Personally I prefer IMB But as we say there’s no set right or wrong. Some people like FVG more, and that’s fine! I just don’t 👌🏻
@@JeaFxForexTrading I like your reasoning; personally, I get caught up focusing more on the trades I miss - forgetting that no strategy is 100% perfect nor will it catch every profitable market move
Yes, there’s no right or wrong Just for me… and based on the examples I see every day including in this video, the risk reward is waaaay worse from FVG than it is just trading simple supply & demand But as I say, many ways to reach the same outcome, this is what I prefer but FVG is fine if it gives a person an edge 👌🏻
I love your videos because they are simple, and your honest opinion about what you teach is what a lot of other people don't have. Would be nice to have a video on how you deal with profits and taxes, not as a financial advisor, but sort of like a guide you use to help beginners save some money from too much taxation
Only God will reward you for helping life also opening my eyes to the market You are a blessing God bless you more and more amen But I'm in a losing streak please do a video on how to control that when it's come🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😭
what is the best asset you prefer trading with bro , i like to hear from u 'Cuz i trade o asian composite index on olymp u know i see my results are kinda good with this assets but i wanna try another assets 😌

With consistent practice, I avoided using fair value gaps since before watching this video. Demand and supply zones are the best to take trade from.

Finally!!! Thanks for addressing this. Arjo has been preaching the gospel about FVG's.
What do you mean
@@MoPRZA. Arjo is another UA-camr that uses fvg as his strategy. He's a pretty respected trader but preaches fvg as the Holy Grail.
@@kpnitrl38 yeah I know him I wasn’t sure about if you meant it that way but I got it now

thanks brah, this important information makes trading EASY
This will be one of the best course so far 🎉

You're very humble James, thank you for the video
I appreciate that!
Thanks so much bro, u said it all..I just got my confidence boosted by watching this

wow!!! this was amazing to watch, funny cause i was asking my self tons of questions about this "imbalance" term.. thank you for this
Easy to understand thank you so much❤
Am really loving your videos bro, thanks for sharing
I love your way of teaching and I've learnt a lot from you
Both are okay, FVG uses top down analysis which makes it more accurate. If Risk is high go to the lower time frame POI
Imbalance doesnt work 4 me. I trade fvgs while my mentor trades imbalance and we r both profitable so they both work fantastic just gotta practice
Thank you so much sir
This the only video I needed. Thanks James.
Too insightful and too powerful bro.. 🎓🎓Bravo👌👌👌👌👌

What is the difference beteen a fear value gap and an imbalance plz ! THANK U VERY MUCH FOR U TEACHING! STAY BLESS
Thanks man so clear
Thanks a bunch...Always learning new things
Glad to hear it! 👊🏼
FVG+STC indicator+buy/sell side liquidity= 💪
we all owe Michael Huddlestone (ICT) for FVGs but you describe it much good thanks friend!
It was there in books written a long time ago and supply and demand traders used to trade them as gaps way before and ICT gave it a fancy name. So no… we don’t owe it to ICT
I think it should be good to enter at the FVG of lower timeframe when the price retrces back to it and place the stop losss below or above the demand or supply zones
I'll be back for a good comment when I'm done watching 👍
Thanks jea 🙏.
Fvg goes well with high of the choc or bos if buying or the low if selling
Can you please explain in more detail using the weekly time frame and applying it on a smaller time frames so I can have a better understanding and what is the right time to execute the trades and one is the wrong time to do it.

You are a real GOAT chief👍 i will appreciate it alot if you can drop a pdf course 😢

Thank you James🙏
You have earned my subscription today ❤
i like this example chart 14:27 , great video all in all
Thank you very much, it was very useful and practical.
You will miss opps by going for the IB instead, but the trade-off is worth it. On LTF you get so many chances, that doesn’t matter anyway.
Hey with the way you teach supply & demand will this work for options trading or futures as well?
You have made everything sir, thank you thank you🎉, we really appreciate and enjoy your teaching sir, long life and prosperity 🙏
I love this bro ❤, you have good insight and ideas. Truly trading is only profitable and understood when you have good guidance like mines
I just figured out yesterday that most rich crypto holders invest with professional crypto traders to learn new strategies and earn huge amount of money.
I strongly advise you against self trading, it's really dangerous and has brought many investors down
I wish I knew about this Bitcoin trading earlier, brace up and get yourself some Bitcoin before it's too late.
Obviously trading in bitcoin is very volatile and risky to trade that's the reason most traders trade with a company.

Thank you 🙏
I was thinking FVG was better after looking at this imbalances are just too nice . No wonder why on my demo all i hit sl with my fvg
This was golden
How about size in small on FVG and size in more when it hits IMB?
The question is. How can we be so sure if an imbalance is filled or not and if the imbalance is effective enough?
At 13:40, would you trail your stops here and move your profit target up?
The market acts different when you are in a trade and when your not in a trade it trends
I don't think FVG works with ranging market structure.
It don't, it will lead to many fake outs.
Can you make a detailed video about volume? Btw thank you for the teachings 🙏🏻
