Learn the ICT Silver Bullet strategy for free. Covers the 10-11 AM and 2-3 PM EST windows, fair value gap entries, and how to trade the Silver Bullet setup step by step.
The ICT Silver Bullet is a specific 1-hour trading model that targets fair value gap (FVG) entries during two key windows: 10-11 AM EST and 2-3 PM EST. The strategy involves waiting for a displacement move that creates a FVG, then entering on the retracement into the gap with a defined stop loss and profit target.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Silver Bullet work on all pairs?
It works best on liquid instruments that track algorithmic delivery — ES, NQ, EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and major forex pairs. It's less reliable on low-liquidity pairs or exotic instruments.
What timeframe should I use for the Silver Bullet?
The 1-minute or 5-minute chart is recommended for identifying FVGs and executing entries. Use the 15-minute or 1-hour chart for bias and context.
