<![CDATA[ICT silver bullet strategy, anyone actually using it profitably]]>the 'silver bullet' is one of ICT's specific trading concepts: trade during specific 1-hour windows aligned with kill zones (10-11AM NY time being the famous one), looking for specific entry patterns within liquidity context.

ive watched hours of free videos on it but the execution rules feel slippery: "wait for liquidity grab, enter on FVG retest aligned with daily bias". in practice this is highly discretionary.

for those who actually trade silver bullet style: what's your win rate and what made it click for you?
