# Unicorn Model™

The **Inner Circle Trader (ICT)** methodology, developed by Michael J. Huddleston, centers around the concept of "Smart Money" — the actions of institutional traders who drive the market.

Among ICT's vast library of trading concepts, the **Unicorn Model** stands out as a specific intraday or short-term trade setup designed to capture high-probability moves during key times of the trading day.

Explore the **structure, components, logic, and application** of the ICT Unicorn Model, offering a roadmap for traders looking to implement it within a broader smart money framework.

* This model is designed for educational and analytical purposes to study market structure, trends, and price behavior.
* It does not provide trading signals and should not be used as a substitute for independent analysis or proper risk management.
* The model is timeframe - and symbol-agnostic, automatically adapting to any market, asset, or chart it is applied to.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.candelacharts.com/models/unicorn-model-tm.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
