It lost money on both halves. The claims did not survive contact with real candles.
Tested exactly as written on Boom 1000 Index M15, 17,000 candles (2026-03-01 23:15 to 2026-08-26 01:00 UTC), spread included.
The rule, in plain English
Long: Buy when a bullish fair value gap forms (this candle's low is above the high from 2 candles before), stop measured from the last swing low.Short: Sell when a bearish fair value gap forms (this candle's high is below the low from 2 candles before), stop measured from the last swing high.
