Experimental FVG Encroachment and Liquidity Trading Across EA Versions

Summary

This document reviews an experimental Expert Advisor series built around fair value gap encroachment, with variants that add liquidity sweeps and session-based liquidity targets. The basic approach detects a gap, waits for price to reach its encroachment level, and enters according to whether price closes above or below that point. Later versions combine this setup with timed Silver Bullet windows, draw-on-liquidity targets, optional trend and gap filters, and either fixed or liquidity-based exits.

The version history is a description of implementation changes rather than a performance study. It records that the first liquidity mode malfunctioned, a simplified version removed that mode, and later versions introduced simultaneous modes, session-specific targets, stop buffers, and trade limits per window. The author explicitly characterizes the code as unoptimized and experimental, with possible volume and margin errors. No profitability statistics, controlled tests, or robust evidence of an edge are provided, so the material is best treated as a design overview for further testing.

Key ideas

• The central entry concept is a price close beyond a fair value gap encroachment point.
• Some versions add timed trading windows and target session highs or lows as liquidity objectives.
• The series progresses from a broken liquidity mode to more separated modes and session-specific controls.
• Position handling includes fixed profit and loss limits, gap-based stop placement, and limits on trades per window.
• The document reports implementation problems and provides no evidence of profitability.
