FVG EA PRO is highly configurable — you can build any strategy based on market structure and Fair Value Gaps as entry criteria. Using a basic strategy like the ones explained below is already very profitable. For traders who want to configure their own strategies, the vast number of parameters allows you to fit almost any approach inside.
Trade scalp or intraday positions by triggering trades within a specific kill zone window. An advanced trailing stop helps book profit when the trade moves in your favour. In the example below, USTEC is traded in the Silver Bullet window of the New York Open — the EA trades with the daily trend and opens a trade on each FVG.
Swing Trade Strategy
Switch to a higher timeframe and trade with the trend for multi-day swing trades. In the example below, EURUSD is traded on the H1 timeframe using the daily trend as bias, with FVGs as entries.
