JJ Simon’s Fair Value Theory Strategy

April 29, 2026

By

JJ Simon

JJ Simon’s Fair Value Theory strategy is a 1-minute NQ scalping approach built around the idea that price will revert to a “fair value” level—typically the New York open (9:30) or 2pm session. Look for early session continuations away from this level, followed by mean reversion trades back to it, using clear confirmations like market structure breaks (BOS/MSB) and displacement candles with strong closes.

The strategy emphasizes mechanical execution and consistent risk management, using ATR-based stop losses and fixed 1.5R targets. By focusing on high-volatility windows, objective entry criteria, and repeatable patterns, it aims to remove subjectivity and create a system that can be tested, optimized, and scaled through data-driven backtesting.
