Fair value gaps and order blocks, defined and tested
Define a fair value gap with numbers, see why order blocks resist testing, and read Tickfloor’s results honestly.
Module 3 of 26, Trends, order fills and a famous day-trading setup. Lesson 4 of 6, about 16 minutes.
The takeaway
A gap that fills most of the time means nothing on its own. You have to clear the base rate for random gaps, survive a multiple-testing correction, and still make money after costs, and on this family of setups, Tickfloor’s own tests and independent published backtests agree: none of that held up.
