What if I told you that you only need to trade for **60 minutes a day**?
The **Silver Bullet** is a concept (popularized by ICT) that relies on a specific **"Time Window"** where the institutional algorithm is programmed to re-price assets to find **liquidity**. This strategy is the **antidote to overtrading**.

1. The Setup Logic (Liquidity Sweep & FVG)
The Silver Bullet is essentially a **Fair Value Gap (FVG)** setup that happens *within* the designated time window.
The 5 Steps:
- Wait for the hour to start (e.g., 10:00 AM NY).
- Look for a **Liquidity Sweep** (Price takes out an old High or Low).
- Wait for a **Market Structure Shift (MSS)** in the opposite direction (Displacement).
- Identify the **Fair Value Gap (FVG)** created by that shift.
- **Enter** on the retest of the FVG.

2. Money Management for Precision Risk
Trading only during Kill Zones is a form of **Risk Management**. You actively avoid low-volume periods where price action is often choppy and unpredictable.
- **Fixed Risk:** Risk **1% to 2%** per trade. Use the Lot Size Calculator to ensure your SL distance respects this rule.
- **Target:** Aim for **10-15 Pips** (Scalping) or the next Obvious High. You don't need a 100-pip home run; you need **consistent, small gains**.

Final Thoughts
The Silver Bullet is the **antidote to overtrading** and the ultimate tool for **screen time reduction**.
Set an alarm for the Kill Zones. Show up, execute the setup if it forms, and leave. **Patience** and **precision** are your greatest assets. Monitor the structural flow of the market via the Realtime Market Dashboard.
