What Is a Fair Value Gap?


A fair value gap is especially popular among price action traders and occurs when there are inefficiencies or imbalances in the market, or when the buying and selling are not equal. Fair value gaps can become a magnet for the price before continuing in the same direction.




Pros and Cons of Fair Value Gaps


Like any trading strategy, there are both advantages and disadvantages to fair value gaps. Here are some of the pros and cons:


Pros:

  1. Profit potential: If a trader can accurately identify a fair value gap and trade on it, they can potentially earn significant profits.

  3. Reduced risk: Because fair value gap trading is focused on identifying inefficiencies in the market, it can be less risky than other trading strategies that rely on making directional bets on the direction of an asset’s price movement.

  5. Flexibility: This strategy can be applied to a wide range of assets, including stocks, bonds, commodities, and currencies.

Cons:


  1. Risk of misjudgment: The fair value gap trading strategy relies on the assumption that the asset’s price will reverse once a fair value gap is filled, but this is not always the case. The asset’s price could continue to move through and past it, resulting in losses for the trader.
  2. Market volatility: The market can be unpredictable, and even small movements in market prices can lead to significant losses for fair value gap traders.
  3. Limited opportunities: The opportunities for fair value gap trading may be limited in some markets, particularly in highly efficient markets.

In summary, fair value gaps can offer profitable opportunities for experienced traders who have the skills and knowledge to identify inefficiencies in Financial markets It is important for traders to carefully consider the pros and cons before implementing this strategy.

The process flow of top-down investing goes like this. Is the macroeconomic situation strong in terms of high growth, low inflation, low interest rates, robust economic reforms, among others? Is the industry situation conducive to help the stock outperform? What is the demand situation, scope for innovation, pricing, creating brand value etc?
