ICTโ€™s Unicorn Model Is The Most ๐—ฃ๐—ข๐—ช๐—˜๐—ฅ๐—™๐—จ๐—Ÿ Algorithmic Entry Model
Here's EVERYTHING you need to know to capitalize on unicorns:
A Thread ๐Ÿงต
This model can be an absolute ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜† ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ when used correctly. I personally trade unicorns on ES & NQ.
The unicorn model consists of 3 main components:
๐—ง๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฒ
๐—” ๐—•๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—•๐—น๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ธ

๐Ÿญ. ๐—ง๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฒ
Time is always the most important. It will always be time first, then price.
We want to be utilizing unicorns within ICTโ€™s killzones, preferably at open times. I personally use 9:30AM Equities Open & trade ES/NQ.
๐Ÿฎ. ๐—•๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—•๐—น๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ธ
Institutional swing points are ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐˜† to understanding breakers.
There are only 2 ways the market turns:
Breakers swing points
Failure swing points
Both breaker swing points and failure swing points act as mitigation areas for smart money.

The highest up close candle or series of upclose candles in the most recent range prior to an old low being swept.
Inverse for bearish breaker block.
๐Ÿฏ. ๐—™๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ฟ ๐—ฉ๐—ฎ๐—น๐˜‚๐—ฒ ๐—š๐—ฎ๐—ฝ
A 3 candle formation that occurs during significant price movements.
These movements create an imbalance of buyers & sellers, resulting in a gap. Price often returns to these gaps to offer โ€˜fair valueโ€ providing potential entry points for trades.
๐—•๐˜‚๐—น๐—น๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ต ๐—จ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ป
A bullish breaker that occurs at a HTF discount array, with a bullish FVG that forms within it.
๐—•๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ต ๐—จ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ป
A bearish breaker that occurs at a HTF premium array, with a bearish FVG that forms within it.

- Killzone Open
- @ HTF PDA
- Breaker block
- FVG aligned with breaker block
For a unicorn to be valid, the FVG that is created must ALIGN with the breaker block.
Combine the unicorn entry with HTF bias & narrative, and you've got a very profitable model that can deliver WINNING setups EVERY DAY. ๐Ÿฆ„
