ICT Killzones & Pivots JB
1. Algorithm Activation
ICT theory suggests that the Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm (IPDA) looks for liquidity at specific times. During these windows, the market is more likely to hunt "Stop Losses" (Liquidity) and then move toward a "Fair Value Gap" or "Order Block."
2. The "Judas Swing"
This frequently happens during the London Killzone. The market makes a deceptive move in one direction (trapping retail traders) before reversing sharply and heading in the true direction for the rest of the day.
3. Time > Price
A core ICT tenet is that time is more important than price. A perfect pattern (like a Head and Shoulders) appearing at 6:00 PM (dead time) is much less reliable than a simple Liquidity Grab happening at 8:30 AM (New York Killzone).
Tips for Trading Killzones
Focus on the "Silver Bullet": This is a specific subset of the Killzones (e.g., 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM EST) where a high-probability trade setup often forms daily.
Sync with News: The New York Killzone is particularly sensitive to economic data releases (CPI, NFP).
Don't Overtrade: If you miss a move in the London Killzone, wait for the New York open rather than chasing the price in the "dead zone" between 5:00 AM and 7:00 AM.
Would you like me to explain a specific entry strategy, like the Silver Bullet or the Judas Swing, to use within these timeframes?
