# Buying/Selling Random FVGs Doesn't Work!

> Source: [Buying/Selling Random FVGs Doesn't Work!](https://youtube.com/watch?v=CmciWfqiWRc)

## Summary

The video explains why trading random Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) fails and introduces the concept of a 'narrative' to identify high-probability setups. It demonstrates a reversal example where liquidity removal and order block interaction provide context for a reliable FVG entry.

### Key Points

- **The Problem with Random FVGs** [00:02] — Selling any random gap-up does not work consistently. The issue is that traders learn to trade patterns without understanding the underlying narrative, which leads to failures.
- **The Importance of Narrative** [00:16] — A narrative tells us when a Fair Value Gap (FVG) should work and, more importantly, when it will fail. This context is crucial for high-probability trading.
- **Identifying Continuation vs Reversal** [00:31] — First, determine if the market is in a continuation or reversal. In the example, it's a reversal because sell-side liquidity below the minimum was removed and the former order block on the left was touched.
- **High-Probability Gap Formation** [00:44] — A high-probability gap forms after liquidity is removed, indicating strength. This provides a narrative behind the FVG, making it more likely to be respected and supportive.

### Conclusion

Trading FVGs without a narrative is unreliable. By understanding market context—such as liquidity removal and order blocks—traders can identify high-probability setups that are more likely to succeed.

## Transcript

selling any random gapup will work?"  Of course not.  But you make this mistake every time. The problem is that you were taught to trade patterns, and it doesn’t work. You lack a narrative for Fairwap
because the narrative tells us when FRUP should work and, more importantly, when it will fail.  But enough words, here's how to find a highly probable valga with a narrative.  First, let's determine whether we are in a continuation or a reversal.  In this
example we are in a reversal.  Why?  Because we removed the sell site liquidity below the minimum and touched the former order block on the left.  Here's a hint: a high-probability gap forms after liquidity is removed.  This indicates
strength.  And now we have a narrative behind our Fairvolup.  So when we buy, he will most likely be respected and supportive. on my Telegram channel and in the free trading community.  The link
