Practicing ICT and smart money concepts

You can practice and backtest ICT ideas here. Open the indicators button on the trading screen and pick the Smart money (ICT) group:

• Kill zones: shades Asia, the London open, the New York open and the London close, with every window editable.
• Fair value gaps: marks three candle imbalances and keeps the latest open bullish and bearish gap until price fills it.
• Order blocks: after a break of a swing, marks the last opposite candle before the move and keeps it until price closes through it.
• Market structure: labels each close beyond a swing high or low as a break of structure (BOS) or a change of character (CHoCH).
• Liquidity sweeps: draws the previous day and Asia highs and lows and marks each candle that trades through one and closes back inside.

To practice, start a random day at the New York open with the date hidden, wait for your setup and enter with a stop and a target. In the journal, tag the trade with fair value gap, liquidity sweep or your own confluences, and Progress shows which setups pay.

To backtest, open Backtest and pick the silver bullet strategy or the fair value gap retrace strategy. Both are scripts you can change in the editor.

From 9:30 to 16:00 New York time the chart is real trades. Asia and London use real perpetual prices for NQ, ES, gold and oil from April 2026 and are modeled on older days, so setups inside New York hours are the cleanest to test.

These tools are our own reading of each idea, so compare them with how you define a gap or a block. They mark the concepts; they don't prove a setup works. ChartTrainer isn't affiliated with the Inner Circle Trader.
