Simplifying the ICT Silver Bullet Trading Strategy
Trading indices and forex pairs can be approached using a time-based method. One of these methods, introduced by ICT, is called the “Silver Bullet,” known for its potential to significantly impact trading outcomes.
Pips Target in ICT Silver Bullets
To aim for success using the Silver Bullet strategy, here are some specific targets:
- When trading indices, the minimum goal is 10 points or 40 ticks.
- For FX pairs, the target is at least 15 pips.
- In indices, a 10-handle movement is equivalent to a 20-pip shift in FX pairs.
- Similarly, a 5-handle move in indices aligns with a 10-pip change in FX pairs.
Types of Liquidity to Target
To make the most out of your trades, focus on these liquidity sources:
- Previous day’s high and low prices.
- High and low prices from the previous trading session.
- High and low prices from the previous week.
- Classic ICT OTE (Optimal Trade Entry) zones.
- Look for a convergence of the ICT 2022 mentorship model.
