Why do you need a daily bias?

A daily bias allows us to make a more informed decision on whether we are going to be
taking long or short positions. If our silver bullet entry model aligns with weekly, daily, and
4-hour bias, it is likely a high probability setup.

It ensures that all trading decisions and strategies are aligned with the anticipated
market direction, whether that is bullish, bearish, or neutral. Knowing the expected market
direction helps in setting more effective stop-loss levels to protect against unexpected
moves.

• Entry and Exit Points: A daily bias aids in identifying optimal entry and exit points. For
example, in an uptrend, a trader might look for pullbacks to enter long positions.

• Avoiding False Signals: By having a bias, traders can avoid acting on false signals
that contradict their overall market view for the day.

 The Silver Bullet Entry Model
The concepts used for this model:

• Liquidity Sweeps.
• Market Structure Shift.
• Fair Value Gap Entry.

NOTE: We look for trades starting an hour and a half after the New York Session
Opens until the end of the day.

Part I: Set up a chart & define the trading hours.

1. Drop Down to the 5min chart.

2. Apply the sessions indicator by Aurocks.

Aurocks Sessions Indicator settings:

• Uncheck the London, Tokyo & Sydney session.

• Set New York session to 09:30
• Set trading view time zone to UTC.
• Enable the session breaks from the events tab in settings.

 Part II: Identify a specific trading model on the chart.

This trading model is a liquidity sweep, either on the buy-side or the sell side. It
can be a break of the old high or low or it can a run on relative equal highs or
lows.

This liquidity sweep causes consecutive displacement that result in an impulse

price swing, often leaving a buy-side or sell-side imbalance.

We identify a fair value gap that serves as our supply area for either going long or
going short.

Phases I & II have 3 important milestones:

1. Wait for the price to engage the liquidity above the previous day’s
low or below the previous day’s low
2. Identify a market structure shift to confirm the reversal.
3. Identify the optimal trading zones (the fair value gap areas)

Note: IF EVEN ONE OF THESE MILESTONES IS NOT CHECKED, WE WILL NOT TAKE
ANY TRADE.

Phase III: Executing the trade.

The fair value gap is our supply zone for short or long positions. This means
that we enter when the price pulls back from these areas. It may occur that
there is more than one fair value gap created during the displacement.

NOTE:

Buy @ Discount Price Sell @ Premium Price

➢ If we expect to buy, we do it at the FVG that is at discount price.

➢ If we expect to sell, we do it at the FVG that is at premium price.

➢ Remember: The range we use to define Premium and Discount price

is the range of the impulse price swing.

In this model, we set our TPs SLs based on the next expected run-on liquidity and
according to our risk management principles and our key levels..

 Bias & Entry Model Pitfalls

Pitfalls are a never-ending cycle. There will always be a mistake you are making,
there will always be a part of the learning curve you need to adapt to. The most
important thing you need to do is be aware of these mistakes and be aware of
what you do not know.

“Sheer will and determination is no

substitute for something that actually works.”
