Anyone trading here the Silver Bullet ICT strategy successfully on his (funded/personal) accounts ? Just wondering because of some youtube videos claiming there are solid gains to be made with that setup. Also the mql5 market show a few EAs on the Silver Bullet setup/strategy that look profitable on the backtesting side. But I never followed them with realtime tracking, so I am curious to know if that works any or that good. Yet I do not believe this it can work, but maybe I can get very surprised here. Let's see.
I don't trade it but know others whom do, some are successful at it others are still struggling. The success is based upon how much they backtested, how much of his "core content" they know and know when to take trades or not. The struggling ones have more psychological issues to work out. Many are on the treadmill of doing "Prop" Challenges, getting "funded", over-levering, getting liquidated, repeat.
Regardless of ICT's claims, there is a lot of discretion that is necessary even with a strategy that he says presents mechanical opportunities everyday.
He is about to trade live in the Robbins Cup, so lot's of eyes are watching to see whether he puts up or makes an excuse to drop out. To his credit, his twitter live streams pulled lots of eyeballs and he's an excellent YT content creator, constantly creating content. There is a whole generation of young traders whom religiously follow his teachings, and will flame and troll anyone whom 'looks for the wizard behind the curtain', challenges him with critical thinking or challenges him that some of his concepts are rebranded. All-in-all, I found his followers to be very cultish.
However, with all that said, he does have some very good distinctions describing market phenomenon, some as unique contributions originated by him. The challenge is wading through hours of a video to get to 5-15m of distinctions.
I'd stay away from his "Shotgun Saturdays" where he pontificates and rage rants. Imho, he uses his captive audience during that time for self-validation and cheap therapy. This is probably not a thing anymore since Nov '23, he claimed that he would leave all social media. That lasted for less than 2 weeks and has continued to post content on YT.
At the beginning of last year, he went on-and-on about having interviews with successful traders of his teachings, after a couple of interviews, that format seemed to have dropped off. That was circa Spring '23. Make of that what you will.
