FCR Candle Range Strategy Explained | ICT Concept | Smart Money Trading

🔹FCR Candle Range Strategy

FCR (Fair Candle Range) strategy is based on how the market reacts after the opening 5-minute candle within the previous day’s range.

When the 5-minute candle forms, we check for a Fair Value Gap (FVG) — it shows imbalance or displacement in price.

The direction of this candle (bullish or bearish) with high volume tells us who is in control — buyers or sellers.

If the 5-minute candle is bullish with strong volume, buyers are in control → we can plan trades towards PDH (Previous Day High).

If the candle is bearish with strong volume, sellers are in control → we can plan trades towards PDL (Previous Day Low).

This strategy works best when you mark the previous day’s range (PDH–PDL) and observe FVG + volume reaction at the opening.

The goal is to trade in the direction of institutional order flow, not against it.

🔹 Volume + FVG + Previous Day Range = Strong confirmation setup.
