Here are the spaces and timestamps about the first presented reflection fair value gap and the first presented fair value gap with displacement :)

Timestamp 01:27:19 Question charter student
“I would think that it's worth identifying, not just the first bisi but also the first sibi. I mean, I just to me, it's just so beautiful to codify and see both of those arrays. Because logically, as a charter student, that's how I would perceive you seeing it?”
Timestamp 01:27:43 Answer from Michael
“Well, I'll come out and say, I'll tell you, you are talking about a PD Array that I've never released. But it is, it's, there's something to it.
When you see the very first presented fair value gap, whatever it is, whatever the contrary is to that, the very first formation of that, it's useful information.”

[ Displacement for First Presented Fair Value Gaps ]
Timestamp 01:01:51
“And then I look for that displacement in that fair value gap. So it's not to simply, there's a gap there it's the first one that happened. That's not enough for me.
I'm actually teaching the whole process of what I did was, when I discovered this element of first presentation, this whole process of which one do I use and how do I define that and what rules and parameters, how did that morph into what I use today? When I first saw the concept, it was simply pick the first one. If you do, you'll see many trades form, but sometimes you won't get a signal for others, and that'll be a source of frustration for you like it was for me, but you'll grow through that.
By learning to anticipate what you think the market's going to do, then looking for it to displace in that narrative, in that direction, supporting that trade idea, that's what I use it for. So it's the first presented fair value gap that fits the narrative and the criteria I'm looking for within my model.”

[ Displacement for First Presented Fair Value Gaps ]
Timestamp 01:01:26
“My selection for Fair Value Gaps are directly linked to gradient levels based on inefficiencies and ranges that I've defined, that I've been teaching this year. Also, I already have a predetermined expectation on what I want to see price action do. In other words, I have a draw on liquidity, I have a narrative I think it may try to implement framing that first hour of trading.
And then I look for that displacement in that fair value gap. So it's not to simply, there's a gap there it's the first one that happened. That's not enough for me.
I'm actually teaching the whole process of what I did was, when I discovered this element of first presentation, this whole process of which one do I use and how do I define that and what rules and parameters, how did that morph into what I use today?

By learning to anticipate what you think the market's going to do, then looking for it to displace in that narrative, in that direction, supporting that trade idea, that's what I use it for. So it's the first presented fair value gap that fits the narrative and the criteria I'm looking for within my model.
That's the technical term in terminology, and it's the definition you're going to see in the book. So you got it for free here. I gave it right to you, but that's what I'm doing. I'm taking everything and placing them in the right place at the right time, and that's why I'm using the fair value gaps that I say is first presented, and that's why they're working the way they do. There's more criteria than simply that it's first appeared.”

Not necessarily bias. Narrative is not bias. Narrative is how a price delivery will unfold. In other words, if you think it's going to go higher, it may go down and take out a short-term low before it does that. It may trade down into a discount fair value gap before going higher.
If I'm bullish, I'm looking for a criteria that allows for either the first presented fair value gap to perform as an inversion fair value gap. So I'm bullish, if I see the first presented fair value gap with displacement that's going to be a SIBI, In other words, it's a down-closed candle, in my mind already, it's fitting criteria that this is going to act as an inversion fair value gap.
So now I'm going to wait for it to trade above it, come back down, validate that inversion fair value gap, keep price out of the lower half of it. That means I'm onside. Order flow is signaling to me that I am bullish. I can go long at consequent encroachment or up to its high, anywhere in there. But if it spikes a candlestick wick down in there, I won't be fearful of not taking that trade once it validates it. Once it comes back down, it can do that. It's completely permissible as long as the bodies stay out of it. And I'll just keep parlaying and building the position up as long as I have the equity to do so. And then I'll just ride it up to whatever the draw is on liquidity.
So it's not just simply, here's the first gap that forms. It's the first gap that forms within the context of the expectation I hold over price action, which is narrative.
The bias, I'm actually trading outside of bias because I'm trading only in the first hour of trading. I don't need a bias. I have zero bias lately because I don't trust higher timeframe bias because we're in this larger long-term consolidation. So by removing the necessity for knowing bias, I'm just looking for what's the current narrative right now, where they're going to run for, who they're going to hurt right now. And that's what I'm doing.
When we move to a trending environment again, then I'll go back to doing other things."
