A time-based setup targeting specific one-hour windows where FVG entries have statistical edge.
The Silver Bullet is a time-and-price setup that restricts entries to specific one-hour windows (classically 10–11 AM ET, 2–3 PM ET, and 3–4 AM ET) and requires a fair value gap to form within that window in the direction of the day's bias. The premise: certain hours reliably produce expansion moves, and the FVG within those hours provides the precise entry. It's a specialized expression of what LA Traders does more broadly — trade only when time and structure align.
The Silver Bullet's real lesson isn't the hours — it's that time itself is an edge. Windows matter. Structure within windows matters more.
Bearish day. At 10:05 AM ET price rips down, leaving a bearish FVG at 5,836–5,838. Retrace into the gap at 10:20. Enter short. Silver bullet, textbook.
