2023 ICT Mentorship - ICT Silver Bullet Time Based Trading Model

Notes

  • The ICT Silver Bullet trade is a time-based algorithmic trading model applicable to various asset classes.
  • Minimum trade framework:
    • Index futures - At least 10 points (or 40 ticks).
    • Forex pairs - At least 15 pips.
  • The framework is the best-case price delivery that you expect to see, not an exact trade entry-to-exit range.
  • Trades that do not meet these minimum trade framework criteria are generally low probability and better ignored.
  • Michael’s perception of market movements:
    • 10 handles in indices is the same as 20 pips in Forex.
    • 5 handles in indices is the same as 10 pips in Forex.
  • The framework for ICT Silver Bullet Setups:
    • Previous Daily High Or Low Draw On Liquidity.
    • Previous Week High Or Low Draw On Liquidity.
    • Previous Session High Or Low Draw On Liquidity.
    • Return To Current Or Old New Week Opening Gap.
    • Expansion Away From Current Or Old New Week Opening Gap.
    • Classic ICT Optimal Trade Entry.
    • Confluence Of The 2022 ICT Mentorship YouTube Model.
      The main emphasis is determining the next most likely draw in the price action.
  • We approach NWOGs as areas where liquidity can be drawn.
  • ICT Silver Bullet Setup Times:
    • 3:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. - London Open.
    • 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. - New York AM session.
    • 2:00 p.m. to 3 p.m. - New York PM session.
  • We look for the first FVG formed during this period and try to identify where the market will want to draw liquidity next.
  • Not every setup will form in the same asset each day.
  • We should stick to one or two markets initially.
  • Each trading day should offer at least one ICT Silver Bullet setup within a chosen market.
