The Ultimate ICT Silver Bullet Trading Strategy! (79% WINRATE)
Main summary
Key takeaways
Finance-focused summary (ICT “Silver Bullet” / liquidity-based trading)
Main idea / why prior versions “don’t work”
The presenter argues most traders fail because they don’t correctly identify:
- External liquidity (market-wide stops)
- Internal liquidity / draw on liquidity (the target move)
The strategy requires establishing intraday bias by linking external → internal liquidity:
- Wait for price to take external liquidity
- Wait for a market structure shift to confirm direction/bias
- Enter targeting an unmitigated “fair value gap” (FVG) that represents internal liquidity
Key concepts & definitions
-
External liquidity: Any notable high or low on the 1-hour (1H) timeframe (i.e., buy-side or sell-side stops at swing points).
-
Internal liquidity: An unmitigated fair value gap (FVG) in the discount area (described via an “equilibrium” / FVG structure), representing the draw on liquidity.
-
Strategy direction bias: Only trade external → internal (claimed to have a higher win rate on this “side”).
Trading setup / step-by-step framework (method)
Timeframes used
- 1H timeframe: identify external liquidity and set direction context
- 5-minute timeframe: wait for market structure shift (confirmation) and define entries/targets
- 1-minute timeframe: mentioned as an alternative lower timeframe depending on the setup
Session / “kill zone” entry windows
- London session kill zone: 3:00–4:00 a.m.
- New York session kill zone: 10:00–11:00 a.m.
- Entry timing rule: take entries after 3:00 (London) or after 10:00 (NY), and not later than 4:00 / 11:00.
Core sequence
- On 1H, wait for price to take out external liquidity (purge the high/low).
- After that purge, drop to 5M and wait for a market structure shift.
- This shift is the confirmation of intraday bias (example given as “bearish” when the shift supports bearish direction).
- Identify the unmitigated FVG that represents the internal draw on liquidity.
- Entry rule: enter from an FVG that forms after the specified time.
- The bearish example emphasizes “after 10” (NY context).
- It also notes the rule can vary by session, mentioning “after 10 or after 3” depending on the kill zone.
- Risk / exit
- Stop-loss: “put your stop here / above the high” (more generally: beyond the relevant swing/high zone).
- Take-profit: cap at only 1 to 2R reward.
- Emphasis: don’t aim for the full internal liquidity draw every time—limit to 1–2R.
- Position management: once the draw is expected/achieved, they don’t hold (implied quick exit).

- Profit target rule: 1–2R
- Unmitigated target: target an FVG (internal liquidity), preferably the extreme/unfilled one
- Mentioned: “always choose the extreme FVG,” though “recent one” can also work.
- Examples include dates:
- Mentions “11th August Friday” for a USD pair example, and “11th” as the trade execution time in that illustration.
Markets / instruments mentioned (tickers & FX pairs)
- EURUSD (explicitly mentioned)

No equities, ETFs, bonds, commodities, crypto, or macro indicators (rates/inflation/growth) appear in the provided subtitles.
Risk management / cautions (as stated)
The presenter emphasizes disciplined execution:
- Don’t trade without knowing intraday bias (external → internal).
- Trade only with:
- Market structure shift confirmation
- Kill zone timing
- Take-profit at 1–2R (avoid holding for the guaranteed full draw every time)
- Implicit caution: entering any FVG without context (i.e., without the liquidity/confirmation setup) is “wrong.”
