Strategy overview

A fair value gap is the price imbalance a fast, one-sided candle leaves behind when the market moves too quickly for both sides to transact — and in this Silver Bullet setup it is not the whole idea but the final trigger. This entry decodes an ICT-style scalping method in which the gap only becomes actionable after a specific sequence has played out on higher-timeframe reference levels: the previous day's low or high is marked, session swing points are identified, and price is allowed to run one of those levels before anything is done.

The strategy was decoded from "ICT Silver Bullet Strategy Explained | Price Action Scalping Setup" by the channel Trading Strategies X Upsurge. Two things set this presentation apart from other Silver Bullet material. First, it is anchored to price rather than to a fixed time-of-day window: the cue is a liquidity grab — price poking beyond an obvious prior-day low or high, trapping traders on the wrong side, then reversing — which is what clears the way for a fair value gap entry. Second, it splits execution by asset class, reading 1-day levels but dropping to a 1-minute chart for stocks and a 5-minute chart for commodities, so the same logic is scaled to the instrument being traded.

No rule set was extracted from this video, so this page leans on the concept and the source rather than a step-by-step recipe; the walkthrough illustrates the logic on the buy side, from a liquidity grab below the previous day's low to the fair value gap that follows. If you want to work with a setup like this, the productive next step is to define for yourself how a valid grab is confirmed and how the gap is measured, then test it on historical intraday data before risking capital.

Frequently asked questions

What is the ICT Silver Bullet strategy in this video?

It is a price-action scalping method built on ICT concepts. Rather than trading a fair value gap in isolation, it waits for a liquidity grab of a key prior-day level and then looks for a fair value gap as the entry trigger, using the higher timeframe only to mark the levels that matter.

How does the Fair Value Gap fit into the setup?

The fair value gap is the final entry trigger, not the starting point. In the sequence shown, price first grabs liquidity by running a previous-day high or low and reversing; the fair value gap left behind by that move is then what the entry is built around.

Why does it use a 1-minute chart for stocks but a 5-minute chart for commodities?

The video applies the same logic across asset classes but scales the execution timeframe to the instrument — 1-minute for stocks and 5-minute for commodities — while identifying the reference levels on the 1-day chart. The higher timeframe defines context; the lower timeframe times the entry.

Does this page include the exact entry rules?

No — a full rule set was not extracted from this source, so the page focuses on the concept and the video's angle rather than a parameter-by-parameter breakdown.
