Find the breakaway gap: the game to spot the FVG never filled
Most FVGs get filled. This one does not, and that is exactly what makes it valuable. The game: three real Nasdaq or gold charts. Find the pair of FVGs, and tap the first: the one price never comes back to fill. Filled FVGs are traps.
How to play
Pick a level, then find the breakaway gap on three charts in a row. Tap the right candle and the answer appears on the chart; tap the wrong one and the game shows you what is off, candle by candle. After each chart, the answer lists every solution with its time and price.
Easy: unlimited mistakes. Medium: three mistakes. Hard: just one. You can stretch the candles by dragging the price or time scale, as on TradingView.
The rule that keeps score
As the fiche says, a breakaway gap almost never comes alone. Look for a pair: two FVGs the same way (the FVG game’s rule), formed 2 to 8 candles apart, with no FVG the other way between them.
The test is price coming back. If it fills the second FVG without ever touching the first, the first is the breakaway gap. If both get filled, it was just an ordinary pair: they show as traps. A pair whose second FVG has not been retested yet confirms nothing, and the chart is left out.

Why train this way
Knowing the definition is good. Spotting it in a blink on a moving chart is something else, and that is exactly what this game trains: lots of charts, the answer straight away, the explanation when you get it wrong. Your eye learns fast, with nothing to learn by heart. It is a reading exercise on past data, not a trading signal.
