Models

25 models, written as rules and scanned live

Each model is a fixed set of rules from the ICT and VSA playbooks. The engine checks them on every market, marks each setup with its entry, stop, targets and grade, and tells you when a new one appears.

  1. 01

    The engine scans

    Every few minutes each model is checked on gold, silver, Nasdaq, S&P 500 and Bitcoin, and on any symbol you scan.

  2. 02

    A setup is marked

    Entry, stop, up to three targets, a grade (A+, A, B) and the checklist of what was met, drawn on the chart.

Time, the ICT way

New York time, the 18:00 trading day, sessions, killzones, Silver Bullet windows and the true opens of the day and week.

Model scanner

The engine scans every symbol for the ICT models, plus custom models built from traders' own playbooks (Wolf Asia NDOG, The Alpha Model Gold) and the VSA models. Each setup is drawn with its entry, stop and targets.

Multi-chart terminal

One to eight charts per layout on PC, tablet and phone, 100 drawing tools with full settings (Fib levels table, extend, background, labels, Long / Short position with risk), years of daily and weekly history, synced symbols, intervals and crosshair, chart templates and pop-out windows.

Light AI assistant

Ask about the chart you are on: bias, key levels, liquidity, open gaps and the latest setups, built from the engine's own data.

MT5 bridge

Trade your own MetaTrader 5 account from the chart, or let the ICT Bridge EA take approved setups with the risk per trade, daily loss and position limits you set. Your broker password never reaches us.

ICT models · M1–M16

The ICT playbook

Time, liquidity and price arrays: the classic Inner Circle Trader setups. In the terminal: the ICT menu. Optional filter: only with the ICT daily bias.

  • M1

    Silver Bullet

    A fair value gap entry inside the one-hour Silver Bullet windows of New York time, after liquidity has been taken.

  • M2

    ICT 2022 Mentorship Model

    A sweep of liquidity, a displacement that shifts the market structure, and an entry back in the fair value gap it left.

  • M3

    Judas Swing / Turtle Soup

    The false move at a session open that runs a high or a low, then turns the other way.

  • M4

    Optimal Trade Entry (OTE)

    A pullback into the 62–79 % zone of a strong move, in the direction of that move.

  • M5

    Asian Q2 Judas

    A Judas move out of the Asian session, taken when price comes back through the range.

  • M6

    Asian Range Scalp

    Quick trades from the edges of the Asian range during the London session.

  • M7

    Unicorn

    A breaker block that overlaps a fair value gap: two ICT arrays in one zone.

  • M8

    Power of 3 (AMD)

    The day's accumulation, manipulation and distribution: entry after the manipulation leg.

  • M9

    Market Maker Buy / Sell

    A simplified market maker model: the smart-money reversal after an engineered run.

  • M10

    News Aftermath

    The move after a high-impact release, once the first spike has swept liquidity.

  • M11

    IFVG Reversal

    A fair value gap that price closes through and that then works the other way. Off by default (weakest in testing).

  • M12

    Breaker Model

    A failed order block that turns into a breaker and is retested.

  • M13

    Opening Range Gap

    Trades around the gap between the previous close and the New York open.

  • M14

    London Close Reversal

    The turn around the London close, after the day's move has reached its target.

  • M15

    London Protraction

    The early London run that takes stops before the real direction of the day.

  • M16

    SMT Reversal

    A divergence between related markets (gold and silver, Nasdaq and S&P) at a liquidity sweep.

Wolf models · M17–M18

Custom models from real playbooks

Built from a trader's own rules for indices and gold. In the terminal: Wolf Models.

VSA models · M19–M25

Volume spread analysis

The effort (volume) against the result (spread and the next candle). In the terminal: Custom Models → VSA, with the VSA bias on by default. Read more on the VSA page.

  • M19

    VSA Engulf Hybrid (Gold)

    An engulf that closes beyond the last candle's high or low on solid volume, and the imbalance shift, on gold 5m and 15m.

  • M20

    Imbalance Shift

    A big-volume candle followed by a candle the other way on less volume: the effort changes hands.

  • M21

    Low-Volume Engulf

    An engulfing candle after a move, made on low volume: no more supply or demand against it.

  • M22

    End of Rising / Falling Market

    A climax: very high volume with a small spread or a long wick, confirmed by the next candle.

  • M23

    False Break

    A break of a swing high or low that fails, read with its volume.

  • M24

    No-Supply / No-Demand Test

    A quiet test of an earlier buying or selling zone on low volume.

  • M25

    AR / AS Line Break

    The break of the automatic rally or automatic reaction line after a climax.

VSA bias

On for every VSA model: buys only when price is above the M5 SMA 200 and above an EMA 50 rising at least 8 points on M1, M5, M15 and M30; sells the mirror.

DXY filter

A separate switch: only the VSA signals the dollar index agrees with. A buy of gold, GBPUSD or an index needs a weak dollar; a flat dollar hides nothing.

One trade plan

Every VSA model: the stop 300 points beyond the setup (gold $3), then a quarter at 1R (stop to breakeven), 2.5R, 3.5R and 6R.

VSA · Volume Spread Analysis

Read the volume behind every candle

Effort versus result: big volume on a bar is half the story, the next bar tells the rest. ICC Charts marks it for you.

VSA Volume

Relative volume in coloured bands, from low to ultra high, against the bars before and the same session on earlier days, so a session open never fools you.

VSA signals

Imbalance shift, engulf, no demand, no supply, stopping volume and upthrust labels drawn on the chart as the bars close.

Seven VSA Models

Rule-based VSA setups scanned live under Custom Models › VSA, with the VSA bias, each with its entry, stop and targets, and in the screener next to the ICT models.

VSA EA for MT5

The Engulf Imbalance Shift EA runs the same setups on MetaTrader 5 with your own risk. It is in demo testing before release.

Models FAQ

Good to know

More in the Help Center.

Do the models trade for me?

No. They mark setups on the chart and in the Signals tab. Trades only happen if you connect your own MetaTrader 5 with the ICT Bridge EA and switch on auto-trading for approved models.

Are the signals profitable?

No model has a proven edge yet. They follow fixed rules and many setups lose. Test them in the strategy tester and on a demo account first.

Where are the exact rules?

Each model's checklist is shown with every signal. The full rulebooks are for members, when the admin opens them.

What do A+, A and B mean?

A+ meets every point of the model's checklist, A misses one point, B misses more and is for study.

Which markets are scanned?

Live: gold, silver, Nasdaq 100, S&P 500 and Bitcoin. Any other symbol can be scanned on demand with the Scan button.
