Entry model · v1.2
Silver Bullet
A time-based model: trade the first clean FVG that forms inside the 10:00–11:00 NY window (or 03:00–04:00 / 14:00–15:00), in the direction of the established bias.
- NY AM
- NY PM
- MIN R:R 2:1
- RISK 0.5%
Required
Every box checks or there is no trade
- Time is inside a Silver Bullet window (NY time)
- Intraday bias established before the window opened
- FVG formed inside the window, aligned with bias
- A liquidity pool sits within reach for the target
- Entry at the FVG (CE preferred), stop beyond the gap origin
Warnings
If one of these fires, stand down
- Skip if the window is choppy / no displacement
- One shot per window — no re-entries after a stop-out
This checklist ships inside the workstation: the Decision Cockpit scores every rule against the live chart and holds the plan at “needs confirmation” until the required boxes check. Where the model is automated, the backtester replays the same rules over years of history — no lookahead, stop-first fills.

Discipline
The model is half the trade.
Judge over samples, not single trades
A good trade can lose and a bad trade can win. Evaluate your model over 20+ executions before changing anything — otherwise you're steering by noise.
No revenge trading
After a stop-out, the next trade must qualify on its own merits. If you feel the urge to "get it back", the session is over — close the platform.
Journal every trade
Screenshot, model, checklist state, emotion, result in R. The journal is where your edge is actually built — the charts just express it.
