CHAPTER 12

Models 01-05: Silver Bullet and Judas Family

These five are time-based: a fixed window, a fixed trap, a fixed entry. They are the best starting point for a beginner.

Model 01 - Silver Bullet (10:00-11:00 NY)

Inside the New York session there is a fixed one-hour window, 10:00 to 11:00, in which price often prints one fast one-directional leg. You enter its first FVG. It is the simplest and most traded ICT model.

**Fig. 12.1** HTF: the entry zone after the sweep, and the draw

Timeframe	What to look for
1H	Bias and draw: which pool price is heading to
15m	Has liquidity been swept? Mark the entry zone
5m	MSS confirmation
1m	Entry at the first FVG

Entry Rules

The sweep must complete before 10:00.
Look for a 1-minute MSS between 10:00 and 11:00.
Limit in the first FVG of the MSS, best at the CE.
Stop beyond the sweep swing, TP1 at the nearest pool.

**Fig. 12.2** LTF: entry in the MSS gap with stop and targets

Level	Distance	What to do
Entry	FVG or CE	Limit order; cancel if not filled after two approaches
Stop	25-40 pips	Beyond the sweep high or low
TP1	1:2	Close 50 percent
TP2	1:4 or more	The HTF draw

Conditions and Invalidation

Only inside the NY AM killzone, 18:30-21:00 Dhaka.
At least three large one-minute bodies are required.
No new entries after 11:00.
Skip it when high-impact news lands at 10:00-10:30.

Model 02 - Silver Bullet (14:00-15:00 NY)

After lunch there is a second delivery window, 14:00 to 15:00. It often reverses the morning leg - whatever the morning failed to reach gets delivered here.

**Fig. 12.3** HTF: delivery upward after a sell-side sweep

Timeframe	What to look for
1H	Where the daily draw sits
15m	Mark the morning leg swing
5m	Sweep plus MSS
1m	FVG entry

Entry Rules

Check whether the morning low or high was swept.
Look for an MSS between 14:00 and 14:30.
Limit at the CE of the gap, stop beyond the sweep.
TP1 at the morning swing, TP2 at the daily draw.

**Fig. 12.4** LTF: one-minute MSS and FVG entry

Level	Distance	What to do
Entry	CE	Limit
Stop	20-35 pips	Beyond the sweep
TP1	1:2	The morning swing
TP2	1:3.5	The daily draw

Conditions and Invalidation

No trades in the dead lunch window, 21:00-23:00 Dhaka.
Skip if price has already retraced more than 70 percent of the morning leg.
Be careful with a data release after 14:00.

Model 03 - Silver Bullet (03:00-04:00 London)

The third delivery window, 03:00 to 04:00 London time. From Bangladesh that is 21:00 to 22:00, which suits night owls.

**Fig. 12.5** HTF: a premium sweep, then delivery to the pool below

Timeframe	What to look for
4H	Bias
1H	Entry zone
5m	MSS
1m	Trigger

Entry Rules

Sweep complete before 03:00 London, 21:00 Dhaka.
Enter the FVG after the MSS.
Stop beyond the Asian range.
TP1 at the opposite edge of the Asian range.

**Fig. 12.6** LTF: five-minute MSS with the FVG

Level	Distance	What to do
Entry	FVG	Limit
Stop	25 pips	Beyond the Asian range
TP1	1:2	The opposite range edge
TP2	1:4	London high or low

Conditions and Invalidation

Skip when the Asian range is under 50 percent of average.
Be careful with wider spreads after 02:00.

Model 04 - London Judas Swing

The first move of London often sweeps one edge of the Asian range and then reverses. The model needs three things: the sweep, a 5-minute MSS and an FVG.

**Fig. 12.7** HTF: the Asian low swept, then delivery upward

Timeframe	What to look for
4H	Consistency with the weekly bias
1H	Asian range and the draw
5m	Sweep and MSS
1m	FVG or CE trigger

Entry Rules

Mark the Asian high and low.
Watch for the sweep at the London open - a wick, not a body.
The MSS must print within five minutes after the sweep.
Enter the MSS gap, stop beyond the sweep.

**Fig. 12.8** LTF: MSS after the sweep, entry in the gap

Level	Distance	What to do
Entry	FVG	Limit or 1m confirmation
Stop	15-25 pips	The sweep extreme
TP1	1:2	Far side of the Asian range
TP2	1:4	The London session extreme

Conditions and Invalidation

No sweep, no trade - an MSS alone is not enough.
A sweep against the daily bias is even better.
Complete it between 13:00 and 15:00 Dhaka.

Model 05 - New York AM Judas (08:30 News)

US data lands at 08:30. The first candle is often the trap - a spike one way, then the real move the other way. This model trades the second leg.

**Fig. 12.9** HTF: a sweep above, then delivery lower

Timeframe	What to look for
1H	Previous day high/low and the draw
15m	Which zone the news is hitting
5m	MSS after the spike
1m	FVG entry

Entry Rules

Let the first 08:30 candle close.
If the spike sweeps a level and returns, look for an MSS the other way.
Limit in the gap, stop beyond the spike.
TP1 at the day open, TP2 at the previous day extreme.

**Fig. 12.10** LTF: MSS and FVG after the news spike

Level	Distance	What to do
Entry	CE	After the spike
Stop	20-30 pips	Beyond the spike
TP1	1:2	The daily open
TP2	1:3.5	The previous day extreme

Conditions and Invalidation

No trade in the first five minutes - spreads are huge.
If the spike keeps closing with bodies, do not fade it.
Only between 08:30 and 09:30 NY.
