The Silver Bullet Strategy by ICT operates during three key sessions based on New York Time:
- London Session: 3:00 AM - 4:00 AM (New York Time).
- New York Morning Session: 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM (New York Time).
- New York Afternoon Session: 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM (New York Time).
Adjustments Based on Personal Analysis
I have made some personal adjustments by moving the start time of the London and New York Morning sessions 10 minutes earlier. This is because, based on my analysis, I’ve observed market manipulations just before these sessions begin.
Opening and Closing of Markets
These settings will allow you to identify the highs and lows of the main global market sessions, such as London, New York, and Asia.
SL - TP: The Stop Loss and Take Profit are based on liquidity zones (if present). If no liquidity zones are detected, the configured reference SL or TP values will be applied.
- Take Profit: Offers 3 levels of Take Profit.
- Stop Loss: Includes 2 levels of Stop Loss.
- Strategies: The indicator offers 2 strategies: one based on market manipulation and another based on trend, both following the Silver Bullet approach. More strategies will be added in future versions.
- Color Customization: You can customize the colors of graphical objects, lines, and texts to fit your trading style.
- Multi-Language Support: You can now set the indicator to either Spanish or English, according to your preference.
Backtesting
We tested the indicator across various trading instruments such as FOREX, metals, cryptocurrencies, and indices. The results presented are completely transparent, based on the number of winning and losing trades. (September 1 - September 20)*
| Win Rate % | |
|---|---|
| WR + 82% | Forex(EURUSD, GBPUSD), Commodities(XAUUSD) |
| WR 71% - 82% | Commodities (XAGUSD), Indexes(NAS100) |
| WR 50% - 71% | Forex(AUDUSD,USDJPY), Crypto(BTCUSD) |
| WR 50% - | Indexes(US500) |
Recommendation: It is advised to trade symbols with a higher Win Rate using this indicator. Here are some specific tips:
Below are the modifications of the most important variables of the indicator:
Most important variables:
- Benefit the sell operations?.
- Extra Verification?.
Indixes:
- Benefit the sell operations?: TRUE
- Extra Verification?: FALSE
Forex:
- Benefit the sell operations?: TRUE
- Extra Verification?: FALSE
Commodities (Gold, Silver) and BTCUSD:
- Benefit the sell operations?: FALSE
- Extra Verification?: FALSE
Note: These settings are not permanent. The current market context has favored these configurations, and according to our analysis, they may continue to work until just before November 2024.
Detailed Explanation of the Most Important Variables of the Indicator:
- Variable "Benefit the sell operations?": This variable adds an additional condition to sell positions when set to false. If it is true, no extra condition is added. The impact on the Win Rate (WR) comes from markets with prevailing bullish trends, such as BTC or metals, which have shown strong increases this year. On the other hand, there are more "lateral" assets, such as FOREX pairs, which may experience spikes at certain times but generally maintain stability in their exchange rate, like EURUSD. Additionally, some markets are already showing bearish trends.
When we refer to "trend," we are talking about the general market trend in higher timeframes, such as weekly or daily.
Recommendations:
- In bullish markets: false.
- In bearish or undefined trend markets: true.
- Variable "Extra Verification?": This option adds an additional verification to buy positions (similar to "Benefit the sell operations?" but applied to purchases). The verification consists of the indicator ignoring the trade if the price is above the BSL at the time of the trade. This can be unfavorable in bullish trend markets but favorable in lateral markets.
Personal Recommendation: If you prefer a more conservative approach, I suggest activating this variable. Conversely, if you seek faster and more direct trades, I recommend deactivating it.
Recommendation: Before acquiring the indicator, we suggest adjusting the Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) according to your preferences. In our backtesting, we used a high-medium TP and a medium SL.
