ICT SIlver Bullet Trading Windows UK times

7 Eyl

🎯 Purpose of the Indicator

It’s designed to highlight key ICT “macro” and “micro” windows of opportunity, i.e., time ranges where liquidity grabs and algorithmic setups are most likely to occur. The ICT Silver Bullet concept is built on the idea that institutions execute in recurring intraday windows, and these often produce high-probability setups.

🕰️ Windows

London Macro Window

10:00 – 11:00 UK time

This aligns with a major liquidity window after the London equities open settles and London + EU traders reposition.

You’re looking for setups like liquidity sweeps, MSS (market structure shift), and FVG entries here.

New York Macro Window

15:00 – 16:00 UK time (10:00 – 11:00 NY time)

This is right after the NY equities open, a key ICT window for volatility and liquidity grabs.

Power Hour

Usually 20:00 – 21:00 UK time (3pm–4pm NY time), the last trading hour of NY equities.

ICT often refers to this as another manipulation window where setups can form before the daily close.

🔍 What the Indicator Does

Draws session boxes or shading: so you can visually see the London/NY/Power Hour windows directly on your chart.

Macro vs. Micro time frames:

Macro windows → The ones you set (London & NY) are the major daily algo execution windows.

Micro windows → Within those boxes, ICT expects smaller intraday setups (like a Silver Bullet entry from a sweep + FVG).

Guides your trade selection: it tells you when not to hunt trades everywhere, but instead to wait for price action confirmation inside those boxes.

🧩 How This Fits ICT Silver Bullet Trading

The ICT Silver Bullet strategy says:

Wait for one of the macro windows (London or NY).

Look for liquidity sweep → market structure shift → FVG.

Enter with defined risk inside that hour.

This indicator essentially does step 1 for you: it makes those high-probability windows visually obvious, so you don’t waste time trading random hours where algos aren’t active.
