Before you start: Assumes you already understand Fair Value Gap.
Part of the MY EDGE framework — refined through thousands of hours of chart study.
It's widely known that the first fair value gap after the 9:30 New York open is more significant than later intraday FVGs. We extend that further: if this FVG forms on a Monday, we treat it as a weekly reference that can stay relevant for all five trading days — not just that morning.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Monday 1st 09:30 FVG strategy?⌄
It's an extension of the idea that the first fair value gap after the 9:30 New York open is significant — when that FVG forms on a Monday specifically, it's treated as a weekly reference that can stay relevant all five trading days, not just that morning.
How do I trade around Monday's first 09:30 FVG?⌄
Mark it exactly at 9:30 New York time on Monday, keep it marked all week rather than deleting it if nothing happens Tuesday, and require a liquidity sweep, MSS, and displacement every time price approaches it before considering an entry.
Why is this Monday-specific FVG treated differently from other 9:30 FVGs?⌄
Any first 9:30 FVG is already considered significant intraday, but the Monday version carries weekly relevance in this framework, since it can be respected, rebalanced into, or used as a delivery target multiple times before the week ends.
Do I need other products to trade this strategy properly?⌄
Confidence increases with alignment to the Weekly Delivery Model, NDOG and NDOG Cluster analysis, Asia Range Projections, and Draw on Liquidity, so this strategy is designed to be read together with that broader context rather than standalone.
