Trading Into an FVG
You never guess — you set an order at the FVG and let price come to you.
What This Means
The beauty of FVG trading is you can place your entry in advance. If you've identified a bullish FVG at 2318–2322, you simply place a buy limit order at 2320 (the midpoint of the FVG), set your stop loss below the FVG, and your take profit at the next significant high. Then you wait. Either it fills or it doesn't — both outcomes are fine.

The Rule
Place a LIMIT order at the midpoint of the FVG. SL below the FVG. TP at the next liquidity level.

Do these steps exactly1
Identify your bullish FVG zone (example: 2318–2322)
2
Calculate the midpoint: (2322 + 2318) / 2 = 2320
3
Place a buy limit order at 2320

Common Mistake
If price blasts through your FVG without slowing down — exit immediately. An FVG that gets blasted through suggests something bigger is happening.
