G2 Trading Strategy – Overview & Execution 📊

This article provides an overview of the G2 Strategy, explaining its key conditions, execution steps, and the tools needed to apply it effectively.

Written by Craig Percoco

The G2 Trading Strategy is a trend-following continuation method designed to capitalize on pullbacks within an established trend. It relies on the OG Indicator to signal maximum pullbacks and requires a Fair Value Gap (FVG) formation before entering a trade.

By waiting for price to retrace into an FVG and then confirming a strong reaction with a candle close in the trend’s direction, traders can identify high-probability setups with built-in risk management.


🔍 G2 Strategy Rules

To ensure consistent and strategic execution, every G2 trade must meet the following conditions:

✔️ Price must be in a clear trend – Avoid ranging or choppy markets.
✔️ A pullback signal is triggered by the OG Indicator.
✔️ Price respects the Fair Value Gap (FVG) and reacts decisively.
✔️ Entry confirmation occurs after a strong candle close in the trend’s direction.
✔️ Stop loss is placed just beyond the price that tapped the FVG.
✔️ Break of Structure (BOS) allows the stop loss to be moved to break even (BE).
✔️ Trailing stops are used by monitoring new FVG formations.
✔️ Exit the trade when a Reversal SMOG signal appears.

By following this rule-based system, traders can avoid emotional trading and increase their probability of success.


📈 Execution Steps – How to Trade G2

1️⃣ Identify the Trend

Use TradingView drawing tools to confirm trend direction and market structure:

  • Trend Line – Helps define the dominant trend.

  • Fibonacci Retracement – Focus on 50, 61.8, and 78.6 retracement levels for optimal entry points.

2️⃣ Confirm the Setup

Once price pulls back into an FVG, traders must wait for confirmation:

  • OG Indicator signals a valid pullback.

  • Price reacts strongly within the FVG.

  • A candle closes in the trend direction, confirming the entry.

3️⃣ Execute the Trade

After confirmation, place the trade:

  • Enter at the candle close.

  • Stop loss is set beyond the FVG tap point.

  • Move stop loss to break even (BE) after a Break of Structure (BOS).

  • Trail the position using newly formed FVGs.

4️⃣ Exit Strategy

  • Monitor for a Reversal SMOG signal—this is an indication to close the trade and lock in profits.
