10 Best ICT Trading Strategies

Beyond Individual Concepts

Smart Money Concepts trading strategies are built around understanding how institutions move price. Instead of relying on indicators or signals, these strategies focus on liquidity, structure, and delivery.

Most traders learn individual concepts but apply them in isolation. The strategies below represent structured applications of Smart Money Concepts, combined with tools that help standardize execution.

Liquidity Sweep Reversal Strategy

This strategy focuses on price taking liquidity before reversing. Identify liquidity using Liquidity Depth°, wait for a sweep above or below key levels, observe rejection and shift in delivery, enter on confirmation.

Power of Three Expansion Strategy

This strategy uses the accumulation, manipulation, and expansion cycle. The HTF Power Of Three° helps identify each phase. The optimal entry occurs after manipulation.

Market Maker Models Strategy

Market Maker Models focus on how price delivers liquidity in sequences. Using Fractal Consolidations°: identify accumulation phases, map consolidation structures, and anticipate expansion.

Silver Bullet Strategy

This strategy focuses on a specific time window where high-probability setups occur. The Session Statistical Mapping° helps identify precise timing and define manipulation and expansion phases.

Fair Value Gap Continuation Strategy

This strategy focuses on continuation after displacement. Using Inversion Fair Value Gap: identify imbalance, wait for retracement, and enter in direction of momentum.

Fractal Model Strategy

The Fractal Model helps identify swing sequences, detect change in delivery, and confirm continuation. This adds a structured layer to execution.

RTH Gap Rebalancing Strategy

Using Dynamic RTH Gap°: identify gaps between sessions, anticipate rebalancing, and trade toward gap fills or reactions. These gaps often act as magnets and intraday bias drivers.

Automatic OTE Retracement Strategy

The Automatic OTE° helps identify optimal retracement zones, align entries with institutional pricing, and define risk.

Range Expansion Strategy

The Average Range Levels° helps identify expansion thresholds, define realistic targets, and avoid overextended trades.

Volatility Breakout Strategy

Using Statistical Volatility°: identify volatility spikes, confirm displacement, and trade expansion. This filters out low-probability conditions.
