Mastering the Advanced ICT Models for Funded Trading
THE ICT PLAYBOOK goes beyond fundamentals and focuses on specific execution models designed for traders who need precision under funded account rules.
From consistent to funded
Have you mastered the basics of Smart Money Concepts but still feel like your entries lack the precision needed to pass prop firm challenges?
THE ICT PLAYBOOK is the definitive sequel to Smart Money, Simplified. It is not a review of fundamentals; it is a deep dive into the rule-based models professional traders use to engineer entries with surgical precision.
This advanced playbook is designed to help you move from proficient to professional by giving you specific models, timing windows, risk protocols, and a complete framework for identifying A+ confluence.
Power of Three and the Judas Swing

The ICT 2022 Silver Bullet
Follow a step-by-step guide to the famous time-based entry model for executing high-probability trades within specific one-hour windows.
Advanced order blocks

SMT divergence
Add the market's lie detector to your confirmation process so you can validate high-probability setups and avoid fraudulent price moves.
An introduction to IPDA
Learn how to frame weekly bias like an institution using the Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm and align intraday trades with macro direction.
The complete professional framework
Integrate the advanced models into a single top-down trading plan for spotting A+ confluent setups with clearer execution rules.
Bonus: the funded trader's mindset
Study the discipline and risk protocols required for prop firm challenges, including the 0.5% risk rule and circuit-breaker habits.

This is not a beginner book, and that is exactly why I liked it. It feels more like a real playbook than a basic trading guide. The PO3, Judas Swing, and Silver Bullet chapters gave me a much clearer framework for timing my trades.
Ryan Mitchell
Straight to the point. Advanced, practical, and very useful if you already understand ICT basics.
Brandon K.
I enjoyed how the book focuses on precision instead of just theory. The author explains advanced ICT models in a structured way, especially the Silver Bullet and Judas Swing setups. I would recommend reading the beginner book first, but if you already understand liquidity and FVGs, this is a strong next step.
Melissa Carter
The funded trading focus is what made this book stand out to me. A lot of trading books explain setups, but this one also talks about discipline, risk, and how to think like someone trying to pass a prop firm challenge. Very useful.
James L.
Good advanced ICT book. Some parts require focus and rereading, but the structure is clear. I especially liked the breakdown of breaker blocks versus mitigation blocks.
Nicole Andrews
This book helped me connect multiple ICT ideas into one trading framework. Before reading it, I knew about PO3, Silver Bullet, SMT, and liquidity, but I did not know how to combine them properly. The confluence checklist and professional playbook section helped a lot.
Anthony Brooks
Loved the Silver Bullet chapter. Clear rules, clear time windows, and no unnecessary hype.
Chris Walker
This is a solid book for traders who already know the basics and want more refined models. The Judas Swing section was one of my favorites because it explains not only what happens, but why it happens. It gave me a better understanding of London session manipulation.
Daniel Reed
Very organized and easy to follow for an advanced topic. I liked that the book makes it clear this is not for someone completely new. It assumes you already understand Smart Money Concepts and then builds on top of that foundation with more specific models.
Samantha Lewis
Good content. The book covers a lot of advanced ICT ideas without making them feel random. I would have liked even more real chart examples, but overall it is definitely helpful.
Marcus J.
The Power of Three chapter alone was worth it for me. It helped me stop seeing the day as random movement and start thinking in terms of accumulation, manipulation, and distribution.
Kevin Harris
This book feels like a bridge between learning ICT concepts and actually building a trading model. The author does a good job explaining how advanced tools like SMT divergence and IPDA can support a trade idea instead of being used alone. Very useful for serious traders.
Lauren M.
Exactly what I wanted. No basic ?what is a candlestick? stuff. Just advanced ICT models, execution logic, risk, and funded-trader mindset.
Tyler Evans
I liked the book, but I would not recommend it as a first trading book. It is better for someone who already understands liquidity, market structure, FVGs, and order blocks. For that type of reader, it is valuable and well structured.
Rachel Cohen
The breaker and mitigation block chapter helped me understand something I used to confuse all the time. I always saw failed order blocks as just failed setups. This book explained how those areas can transform into useful entry zones depending on the liquidity story.
David Morgan
Very practical. The book does not just explain concepts separately; it shows how to think through the full process from higher timeframe context to entry model and risk management. That is what I liked most.
Emma Richardson
The SMT divergence section was excellent. I never fully understood why one index making a new high while another failed to confirm could matter. This book made that concept much easier to understand and apply.
Jason Miller
A serious playbook for serious traders. If you are trying to pass funded accounts, the risk management and discipline parts are just as important as the setups.
Brian S.
Clear, direct, and useful. Some sections are advanced, so I had to slow down and take notes, but that is not a bad thing. It feels like a book you can study more than once.
Olivia Bennett
This book gave me a much more professional way to approach ICT trading. Instead of just marking random FVGs or order blocks, I now think about time, liquidity, manipulation, displacement, and confirmation. It made my chart reading cleaner.
Nathan Cole
If you already understand Smart Money Concepts and want to go deeper into funded trading models, this book is a great choice. The sections on PO3, Judas Swing, Silver Bullet, SMT divergence, and advanced order blocks make it feel like a complete advanced roadmap. It does not promise easy money, but it gives you a structured way to think and execute.
