FVG DV Pro [Fund Grade]

How to Trade FVG-DV Pro Manually (Comprehensive Guide)

Plazo Sullivan Roche Capital Execution Framework

PHASE 1 — PRE-TRADE READINESS

Before you even look for signals, you check the environment.This takes 10–20 seconds and eliminates 70% of bad trades.

1. Check the Dashboard

Ask: Is the market even in a condition where a trade is allowed?

You want at least 5–6 green/neutral rows:

• HTF Bias → Bull or Bear

• VWAP → Not blocked

• Structure → Not opposite of bias

• Sweeps → Ideally green

• ADR → OK (not exhausted)

• Session & Killzone → In Killzone

• Displacement → OK

If the Dashboard rows show many red, you don’t scan for signals.You’re early, late, or in chop.

If Dashboard says L: Ready or S: Ready, you begin scanning for a setup.

PHASE 2 — SETUP IDENTIFICATION

Now you watch price like a pro.You’re looking for three things to happen in order:

Step 1 — Liquidity Story (Sweep or BOS)

FVG-DV Pro thrives AFTER a manipulation event.

Look for:

For Longs

• Price takes out a PDL (previous day’s low)

• OR sweeps an intraday swing low

• OR forms a bullish BOS (break of structure)

For Shorts

• Price takes out a PDH

• OR sweeps intraday swing high

• OR prints a bearish BOS

This event creates the “reason” for price to reverse.

If there is no sweep/BOS → wait.You don’t want to be early liquidity.

Step 2 — A New Valid FVG Prints

Immediately after the sweep/BOS, the chart creates an imbalance:

• For longs: bullish FVG (low > high[2])

• For shorts: bearish FVG (high < low[2])

FVG-DV Pro automatically checks:

• ATR size

• HTF bias

• FVG age

• Mid-point validity

• Structure

• Market condition

Once the FVG forms, your job is simply to ask:

“Do I have a clean imbalance after a manipulation?”

If yes → go to Step 3.

Step 3 — The Refill Event (The Heart of the Strategy)

Price now begins to “refill” the FVG.Institutional imbalances get refilled 80% of the time.

Your signal requires price to touch:

• the 50% line (if midRef = ON)

or

• the FVG boundary (if midRef = OFF)

This is the entry zone.

Do not enter before the refill touches.This is a common retail mistake.

PHASE 3 — SIGNAL CONFIRMATION

When price refills the FVG imbalance:

A. DV Engine (Delta + Volume) Must Confirm

• Delta must flip in your favor

• Volume must exceed SMA

This indicates real aggressive orderflow is entering the market.

B. Institutional Protections Must Align

This includes:

• HTF Bias (trend alignment)

• VWAP Consensus

• Structure

• Displacement Quality

• ADR (not exhausted)

• Killzone Timing

• Session Window

• ATR Band

If everything is aligned → FVG-DV Pro prints BUY/SELL.

You are now cleared for execution.

PHASE 4 — EXECUTION (WHERE TO ENTER)

How to Enter a Long

Enter as soon as BUY prints after:

1. Sweep/BOS

2. Valid imbalance

3. Refill trigger

4. DV confirmation

5. Dashboard = Ready or Signal

This is your precise entry — where institutions re-engage.

PHASE 5 — STOP LOSS & TAKE PROFIT (Institutional Style)

This is where FVG-DV Pro truly shines; execution becomes mechanical.

A. STOP LOSS (Longs)

Place SL:

Preferred (most accurate):

• Below the liquidity sweep wick

  
  

  (because if that wick breaks again, you were wrong)

Alternative:

• Below the FVG bottom boundary

  
  

  (more conservative)

B. TAKE PROFIT

Use a two-phase exit:

TP1 — Structural Target

• Last opposing swing

• 1R if scalp

• Or VWAP/EMA retest

Take 50% here.Then move SL to breakeven (institutional standard).

TP2 — Imbalance Fill or Liquidity Pool

You target:

• Next FVG

• PDH/PDL

• Major swing

• HTF VWAP

• ADR High/Low

Ride with BE protection.

PHASE 6 — POST-TRADE EVALUATION (Like a Fund Manager)

After exit ask:

• Did the dashboard agree?

• Was the sweep real (not a micro fake)?

• Was ADR exhausted?

• Did VWAP alignment help or hinder?

• Was structure supportive?

Journal 5–10 trades using this checklist and your edge becomes obvious.

FULL LONG EXAMPLE

(Walkthrough with narrative as if you were watching NAS100 5m)

1. Liquidity Event

• NAS100 wicks below previous day’s low → liquidity grab

• Dashboard Sweep = Long OK (green)

2. Bullish FVG prints

• Low > high[2]

• ATR size within your min/max

3. Price refills the FVG midpoint

• Price tags the 50% line

• Dashboard shows:

  • HTF Bias: Bull

  • VWAP: Long OK

  • Structure: Bull

  • ADR: OK

  • Session: In Session

  • Killzone: In KZ

Everything is green or neutral → valid trading environment

4. Delta + volume flip positive

• DV Engine turns green

• Long signal prints

5. Enter long

• At or slightly above the refill wick

6. SL placement

• SL below liquidity sweep’s wick

7. TP1

• Previous minor swing high

• Price hits TP1

• Close 50%

• Move SL to breakeven

8. TP2

• Target PDH or next imbalance

• Trade rides safely with BE SL

• No stress

9. Result

• +1R on TP1

• +2–3R on TP2 depending on volatility

• Zero heat

• Trade follows institutional logic perfectly

FULL SHORT EXAMPLE

(US30 London session)

1. PDH sweep

Wicks above previous day’s high → liquidity taken

2. Bearish FVG prints

• High < low[2]

• FVG size ok

3. Refill triggers

• Price taps midpoint

• Dashboard flips:

  • HTF Bias = Bear

  • VWAP = Short OK

  • Structure = Bear

  • ADR = OK

  • Killzone = In KZ

4. DV flips negative

Signal prints → SELL

5. SL

• Above sweep wick

  
  

  (because if price retakes that liquidity, the idea is wrong)

6. TP1

• Opposing swing

• Close 50%

• Move SL to BE

7. TP2

• Target previous day’s low

• Clean ride down

Best Timeframes for Manual Trading

🔥 Optimal:

• 5m (best signal density + best accuracy)

• 15m (institutional sweet spot)

• 1m for NAS100/XAU (Killzone only)

🧠 Swing:

• 30m

• 1H

❌ Avoid:

• 30s / 10s / 1s

• 2H–4H (too slow for FVG-based execution)

Summary: Trading Workflow in One Sentence

Sweep liquidity → imbalance forms → price refills → DV confirms → protections align → enter → partial at structure → BE → run remainder to next liquidity.

FVG-DV Pro AI

A Plazo Sullivan Roche Capital Institutional-Grade System

This AI is not available to the public and remains an in-house prop system of PSRC

1. Core Logic

FVG-DV Pro combines three institutional engines into one unified signal framework:

A. Fair Value Gap Refill Engine (FVG Reversion)

Markets often leave behind imbalances when price moves too aggressively.Institutions frequently come back to “refill” these gaps before continuing the trend.

The engine identifies:

• Bullish and bearish FVGs

• Valid FVG size relative to ATR (avoids noise)

• Whether price returns to the mid-point (50% refill)

• And whether the refill happens within a maximum “bar age” window

This ensures only real institutional imbalances are traded.

B. Delta + Volume Confirmation (DV Engine)

During a gap refill, the system measures:

• Delta shift (aggressive buy/sell pressure)

• Volume superiority (volume > volume SMA)

This confirms whether smart money is pushing into the refill or fading the move.

Longs require positive delta + strong volume.Shorts require negative delta + strong volume.

C. Institutional Protections Engine

FVG-DV Pro doesn’t fire blindly.It uses a full institutional filter stack to avoid false positives:

• HTF Bias (H4 & D1 EMA filters)

• VWAP consensus (VWAP, H4 VWAP, Prev-Day VWAP)

• Market Structure Bias (BOS / swing high–low)

• Daily liquidity sweep (PDH/PDL raid confirmation)

• Displacement quality (wick/body ratio + ATR body requirements)

• ADR exhaustion filter

• Session + Killzone filters

• ATR band volatility gates

Only when all layers align does the system allow a long or short signal.

2. Why This Indicator Is Fund-Grade

Most retail indicators look for one confluence.FVG-DV Pro stacks nine institutional filters and validates every signal across multiple time environments.

A. HTF–LTF Alignment

Signals fire only when higher-timeframe market structure and momentum support them.

B. VWAP Consensus Across Three Regimes

Institutions price risk off VWAP. The engine requires agreement among:

• Current VWAP

• H4 VWAP

• Yesterday’s VWAP

This eliminates weak or contrarian signals.

C. Smart Money Sweep + Structure

Signals require either a PDH/PDL liquidity raid or a structure confirmation.This ensures entries happen where institutions transact.

D. Displacement Quality Control

You never enter against weak candles.Bodies must exceed ATR-based requirements and wicks must remain controlled.

E. Strict Volatility, Range, and Session Control

By eliminating:

• Volatility traps

• ADR extremes

• Off-session trades

• Off-killzone entries

The system behaves like a real prop-desk tool.

This reduces drawdown, increases win rate, and stabilizes equity curves.

3. Best Practices for Use

A. Choose Assets With Clean FVG Behavior

Best:

• XAUUSD

• NAS100 / US100

• US30 / DJIA

• SP500

• Major FX pairs

Crypto is excellent on higher timeframes (15m+), weaker on scalping because of noise.

B. Use Signals Only in the Appropriate Session

For indices → New York Killzone + Cash SessionFor FX → London + NY overlapFor Gold → London open + NY openFor Crypto → No session filter OR use New York only

C. Let the Protections Do the Work

Resist the urge to disable high-grade protections.They dramatically reduce false signals:

• HTF Bias

• VWAP Consensus

• ADR Exhaustion

• Displacement Quality

Only disable filters when backtesting specific scenarios.

D. Trade Only the First Signal After a Sweep or BOS

After a liquidity raid or BOS, take the first FVG-DV signal.Subsequent signals often have deteriorating R:R.

E. Use Tight SL Behind the Sweep or Structure

Optimal stop placements:

• Beneath the liquidity sweep wick (longs)

• Above the sweep wick (shorts)

This maximizes RR and respects institutional logic.

4. Best Timeframes

Based on institutional behavior and FVG fill reliability:

Recommended:

• 5m (best blend of accuracy + frequency)

• 15m (high accuracy, excellent for indices and gold)

• 1m (for NAS100/XAU scalpers using killzones and VWAP)

Higher TF Swing:

• 30m

• 1H

Extremely clean signals; fewer trades but high conviction.

Not recommended:

• 30 seconds

• 1s–15s

• 2H–4H (too slow for this strategy)

5. What Makes This Indicator Unique

Unlike most FVG tools, FVG-DV Pro:

• Confirms smart-money intent using both delta & volume

• Requires a structural location (sweep or BOS)

• Filters by VWAP consensus to avoid mid-range traps

• Adds displacement quality (rare in retail indicators)

• Avoids overextended markets using ADR exhaustion

• Forces HTF alignment for trend-consistent probability

• Shows a real-time dashboard of market conditions

• Provides unified alerts for automation and execution

This mimics institutional workflow for minimizing drawdown and maximizing strike rate.

6. Summary for Traders

FVG-DV Pro is designed for traders who want institutional-grade confirmation on every entry:

• FVG → Valid imbalance

• DV → Smart-money intent

• Structure → Market direction

• VWAP → Fair value alignment

• Sweep → Liquidity context

• ADR → Market exhaustion check

• Session & Killzone → Execution timing

• Displacement → Candle quality control

Every signal is the result of a full-stack confluence engine, not a single condition.
