Who it's for
Get it if
- You trade IFVGs, or want to, and your chart never agrees with the video you learned from
- You'd rather know what a setup did on a year of real data than on three hand-picked screenshots
- You use TradingView and want the rule, the alerts and the test running on your own market
Skip it if
- You want a signal service, or a promise of a win rate: this guide has neither
- You've never placed a trade: it assumes you know candles, stops and position size
Answers
Does the IFVG work?
Not as a plan on its own. In our one-year test, none of the eight IFVG plans passed. On Bitcoin every plan lost money after costs; on gold, the one plan that made money in both halves of the year beat only about 85% of random-entry runs, short of the 95% bar. The guide prints every number, shows where the costs come from, and gives you the same test to run on your market before you risk money on it.
Do I need IFVG Desk or any paid indicator?
No. The guide's Pine template draws the rule on TradingView, and the second template runs it in the Strategy Tester. Both are printed in full and compiled clean on TradingView's compiler.
