ICT Silver Bullet

ICT · Timeframe: M15 / M5 / M1 · Sessions: 10:00–11:00 NY (also 03:00–04:00 and 14:00–15:00)

Within a fixed time window, look for the first FVG in the direction of the draw on liquidity.

How it works

The Silver Bullet is a time-based model: in the 10:00–11:00 NY window the algorithm tends to seek liquidity quickly. You identify where price is heading (draw on liquidity: session or previous-day highs/lows), and within the window you trade the first FVG that forms in that direction. Look for at least 10-15 pips (or $5-10 in gold) to the target.

Step-by-step rules

1. Determine the bias: price vs the midnight open and the draw on liquidity.
2. Between 10:00 and 11:00 NY wait for a displacement that leaves an FVG in that direction.
3. Limit order at the FVG.
4. Stop: at the extreme of the FVG's first candle.
5. Target: the nearest liquidity pool or 2R.
