Market Structure & FVGS
📈 Market Structure
📖 Understanding Market Structure
Market Structure refers to the overarching price trend defined by significant patterns such as Higher Highs/Lows and Lower Highs/Lows that reveal market direction. MarketSync Elite helps visualize these patterns through:
BOS (Break of Structure): Signals when price breaks previous structure, potentially indicating trend change
MSS (Market Structure Shift): Identifies when price confirms a new trend direction
⚙️ Market Structure Settings
Internal/External Classification: Filter market structure signals by their significance
Equal Highs & Lows: Identify when price makes approximately equal levels (consolidation)
Swing Points: Mark significant pivot points on your chart
🛠️ Practical Application
Market structure signals provide critical information about trend direction and strength
🔁 Confluence with Order Blocks
High-probability setups occur when market structure signals align with order blocks
Trend Identification:
Series of higher highs/higher lows indicate uptrend
Series of lower highs/lower lows indicate downtrend
Trade Management:
Use structure breaks as signals to adjust stop-loss or take profit
📉 Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
📖 What Are Fair Value Gaps?
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are price areas with significant gaps between trading sessions that suggest potential continuation or reversal points. These gaps represent inefficiency in the market where price moved too quickly, often leading to future price revisiting those areas.
⚙️ FVG Settings
Timeframe: View FVGs from the current timeframe or a higher timeframe
Opacity: Adjust the transparency of FVG zones
Max Width: Filter out excessively large gaps
Mitigation Method: Choose how FVGs are considered filled
Touch
Wicks
Close
Average
Fill/Shade Options: Control how filled FVGs are displayed
Mid Line: Add a central line through FVGs
Max FVG: Set the maximum number of FVGs displayed
Extend: Extend FVG zones to the right edge of the chart
🧭 Types of FVGs
Bullish FVGs:
Form when price gaps up, creating an area below current price
These often act as support
Bearish FVGs:
Form when price gaps down, creating an area above current price
These often act as resistance
🛠️ Practical Application
FVGs provide valuable trading opportunities:
Mean reversion setups: Enter when price returns to an FVG, especially with other confirming factors
Stop-loss placement: Place stops beyond relevant FVGs
Take-profit targets: Use opposing FVGs as potential exit points
Market efficiency analysis:
Multiple unfilled FVGs can indicate a strongly trending market
