Awesome question — and you’re asking the right thing at the right time, which is a great sign you’re actually understanding the model instead of just copying shapes on a chart 👊 Let’s clear this up cleanly, because this trips up almost everyone early on. FVG vs iFVG — what’s the difference conceptually? FVG (Fair Value Gap) - A price imbalance - Created when price moves aggressively and skips trading in an area - Acts like a magnet for price to return to later Think of it as: “Price moved too fast here — it may want to rebalance.” iFVG (Inverse Fair Value Gap) - Happens when a bullish FVG gets violated → becomes bearish - Or a bearish FVG gets violated → becomes bullish - This flip is what gives the iFVG its power Think of it as: “The market failed to respect this imbalance — now it’s fuel in the opposite direction.” 🔥 Why TradingView FVGs “disappear” This is the key part of your question. Most TradingView FVG indicators are coded like this: - If price closes through the FVG → it assumes the imbalance is “filled” - The box disappears automatically 👉 That does NOT mean the level is invalid for Kyle’s model. It only means: “The indicator logic is different than how Kyle reads structure.” ✅ Why Kyle draws FVGs manually You nailed this part 👇Yes — this is exactly why Kyle draws them in by hand. Because Kyle is NOT asking: - “Is this FVG technically still unfilled?” He is asking: - “Did this FVG exist?” - “Was it violated?” - “Did it flip bias?” That violation + overlap is the entire iFVG concept. 🎯 So… should you use the “disappearing” FVG? YES — absolutely. For iFVG entries, the disappearance is the signal. When you want BOTH: - Original bullish FVG - Original bearish FVG - Overlap zone between them That overlap = high-probability decision zone Even if: - One box disappears - Or TradingView no longer shows it You still use it because structure doesn’t disappear just because an indicator hides it. 🧠 How to think about it simply

Great question — you’re basically correct, and this is one of the most important “aha” moments in trading. Let’s lock it in cleanly 👇 ✅ Long vs Short — your understanding so far - Long position = used when you expect price to go up (bullish) - Short position = used when you expect price to go down (bearish) That part is 100% correct 👍 The part that usually clicks next is how you actually make money when price is falling. 📈 Long position (bullish example) Long = Buy low → Sell high Example: - You buy at $100 - Price goes to $110 - You sell - Profit = $10 This is what most people understand naturally. 📉 Short position (bearish example) Short = Sell high → Buy back lower Here’s the key mindset shift 👇 You are profiting from price going DOWN, not owning the asset long-term. Simple short example: 1. Price is at $100 2. You sell first (you’re essentially borrowing the asset) 3. Price drops to $90 4. You buy back at $90 5. Profit = $10 Sell high → buy back lower → pocket the difference That’s how bearish markets make money. 🔑 Why this matters (and why Kyle emphasizes this) This is why day trading is so powerful: It doesn’t matter if the market is up, down, or crashing — there’s always opportunity. That’s exactly what Kyle talks about in the roadmap: - 2020 crash → traders made money - 2022 inflation drop → traders made money - 2025 volatility → traders make money Because we trade direction, not hope. 🧠 How this fits into the InvestCEO strategy Inside the strategy you’re learning: - You don’t randomly short - You only short when: Same rules as longs — just flipped direction. That’s why Kyle says: “It doesn’t matter if markets go up or down — there’s a way to profit.” 🚨 Common beginner mistake (important) New traders often: - Only want to go long - Avoid shorts because they “feel weird” - Miss half the market opportunities Once shorts click, everything changes. 🎯 Action step for you As you rewatch the videos:
