ICT Trading Course — Inner Circle Trader concepts, taught on a real SMC foundation
Killzones, Power of Three, inverse fair value gaps, breaker blocks, Unicorn, Turtle Soup, OTE and SMT — the ICT toolkit explained in Marathi, Hindi and English, marked on live charts by Mahesh Zambare Patil, and layered on top of the structure and liquidity skills you build in the SMC module first.
The ICT module — time, price and delivery models
ICT is not a separate religion. It is the same institutional logic as SMC with a sharper clock and a set of named delivery models. Here is what the module covers.
Time & price: killzones
The London and New York killzones, why the 4H opens matter, and Power of Three (Accumulation → Manipulation → Distribution) inside a session or a candle — converted to IST in class.
IFVG & BPR
Inverse fair value gaps — a gap that fails and flips role — and balanced price ranges where two opposing gaps overlap. Lecture 24 in the current batch.
Breaker, mitigation & rejection blocks
The order block that failed becomes the breaker; mitigation blocks and rejection blocks as institutional footprints. Lectures 25 and 28.
Unicorn setup
Breaker block overlapping a fair value gap — the confluence model that ICT traders wait for. Lecture 26.
Turtle Soup
The failed breakout: trading the liquidity raid beyond an obvious high or low when it snaps back. Lecture 27.
OTE, Silver Bullet & SMT
Optimal trade entry retracement, the Silver Bullet time window, SMT divergence between correlated pairs, and draw-on-liquidity bias.

| 29 | Silver Bullet and Killzones | The Silver Bullet time window and the London / New York killzones — when the ICT models are allowed to fire. |
| 30 | IPDA 20 / 40 / 60 | The 20-, 40- and 60-day IPDA lookback ranges, and how their highs and lows mark the levels price is most likely to seek next. |

What "ICT" means here — and what it doesn't
Live, recorded, and tools in your hands
Live classes + full recordings
Every ICT lecture is taught live by Mahesh Sir on weekdays, 9:00–10:00 PM IST — and every lecture is recorded. Miss a class or want to revise? The recording is waiting in the student recordings portal.
Free indicators in month 3 + handbook
In the 3rd month of the group batch, students get one month of free access to SM Trading Zone's own SMC, ICT and CRT TradingView indicators as invite-only scripts (a free TradingView account is enough), plus lifetime access to the 20-chapter SMC Mastery Handbook.
Live trading sessions after the batch
When the batch ends, the learning doesn't. Join live market sessions with Mahesh Sir and apply the method on real charts — Gold, forex, crypto and US indices. Educational sessions on international markets only; never trade calls on Indian securities, and no promise of returns.
