WickCheck / Trading school / Silver Bullet

Silver BulletAdvanced

An ICT setup traded in a single hour, most often 10:00 to 11:00 New York time: liquidity sweep, then a fair value gap entry.

Simplified illustration, not real market data.

What it means

The idea is to trade only one hour when a draw on liquidity is likely, enter on the first FVG after price takes a nearby high or low, and target the next pool of liquidity.

How to spot it

Common mistakes

How WickCheck tests it

Between 10:00 and 11:00 New York time, wait for a liquidity sweep, then wait for a fair value gap. Enter on the FVG. Stop above the sweep. Target liquidity, at least 2R.
