Gap’n’Go – The Trend Following Indicator
https://in.tradingview.com/script/rHHJHps7-Gap-n-Go-Strategy-Code2Trade/
A combination of volume profiles, FVG, and parallel channels to find the best entry, capture the pullback, and ride the trend.
1. The Winning Mindset in Trading
1.1 Don’t Trust the Carnival: Fake Numbers, Fake Faces
Profits and trade records are often tools of persuasion in marketing campaigns run by brokers or trading platforms. These “Fx Dealers” craft a narrative where winning seems easy:
- Fake numbers: Marketing accounts can easily simulate profits.
- Compelling personas: Salespeople are trained to trade their reputations for the allure of profit.
- Deceptive concepts: A well-packaged idea can appear trustworthy, but it’s just smoke and mirrors.
Never trust what you see without peeling back the layers of the story.

1.2 Concepts Wrapped in Glitter: Let the Numbers Speak
Think of overly complex trading concepts as a beautifully wrapped gift. But when you open it, the substance is missing. Let’s take Wyckoff, for instance:
- It outlines five phases, but where are the statistics?
- What percentage of trades complete all five phases before prices move?
- How often does price run with or without missing phases?
- What are the probabilities tied to different market conditions, instruments, or timeframes?
Without data, concepts are hollow. If you’re learning architecture, pick a book with rich illustrations. If you’re learning trading, prioritize sources rich in statistics. Otherwise, discard the noise or gather the data yourself.

1.3 Garbage In, Garbage Out: Precision Is Key
Trading is a machine, and like any machine, its output is only as good as its input. Every component must be optimized. Take the Fair Value Gap (FVG) as an example:
- Is FVG best for reversals or trend-following?
- Is it optimal when price touches the top, bottom, or middle of the gap?
- Does FVG perform better with liquidity sweeps, support/resistance levels, or volume metrics?
The answers lie in numbers—meticulous data analysis, not guesswork. Only once the FVG itself is optimized can you move to refining entries, stop losses, and execution strategies.
Don’t blindly automate a half-baked concept. Break it down into components, optimize each, and let statistics guide the way.
1.4 Backtest and Experience: The Real Teachers
Finally, nothing beats personal experience. Backtesting and real trading provide insights tailored to your unique risk tolerance, emotional resilience, and capital management skills.
- If you struggle with emotions, choose low-frequency trading methods that require minimal chart time.
- If you’re a full-time trader with good emotional control, dive into more complex systems that maximize efficiency.
