01 / Strategy specification

Strategy rules.
Complete execution model.

Dodgy's public material describes a simple inverse fair-value-gap model that can be applied across markets. The system is expressed on NQ, where the related 30-second liquidity model is most often demonstrated: take higher-timeframe liquidity, confirm displacement through an opposing FVG, then use the IFVG retest as the execution zone.
