Unicorn model

What it is

The Unicorn is an ICT setup where a breaker block and a fair value gap overlap. For a long: price makes a low, a high, then a lower low that sweeps the first, then displaces up through the high. The last up candle before the drop becomes a bullish breaker, and the displacement leaves an FVG. Where they overlap is the entry.

How to spot it

• Mark the breaker, mark the FVG from the displacement, and look for the overlap.
• The overlap is usually a narrow band, which keeps the stop tight.

How to use it

• Enter in the overlap, stop below the lower low, target the next buy-side liquidity.
• Skip it if there's no real overlap.

Common mistakes

• Calling any breaker plus any nearby FVG a unicorn.
• Using it against the higher-timeframe bias.
