iFVG model
1m–5m
The rules, in plain English. Ask Wicky “Is my setup here?” and it checks each one on your chart, says what’s still missing, and draws your levels.
The rules
- First: price sweeps a session high or low, or equal highs or lows.
- Then: a candle body closes through an opposing fair value gap. That gap is now an inverse FVG (iFVG) and should act the other way.
- Entry: when price comes back to the iFVG.
- Stop: beyond the iFVG, or beyond the sweep if that's tighter and still makes sense.
- Target: the opposite session high or low, or equal highs or lows. At least 2R.
- Extra confirmation, if both charts are on screen: NQ and ES disagree at the sweep (SMT divergence).
- On the chart: the sweep, the gap that got closed through, and the next liquidity.
How Wicky checks it
Hold ⌃⌥ over your chart and ask. Wicky reads the chart on your screen, on any platform, and checks every rule above, starting with “First: price sweeps a session high or low, or equal highs or lows”. Then it answers out loud: not yet, and what you’re still waiting for, or your entry, stop and target with the risk-to-reward, drawn on your chart and locked to it as you scroll.
Trade it a little differently? Change any rule, or write your own in plain English. Wicky checks your version, not a textbook’s.
Wicky checks your own rules. It doesn’t tell you to buy or sell, doesn’t predict price and never places trades. Trading involves substantial risk of loss. ICT and Smart Money Concepts are named to describe setups; Wicky isn’t affiliated with their authors.
