What is One-shot-one-kill?
One Shot One Kill (OSOK) is an ICT weekly-range model built on sniper discipline: frame one directional idea for the week, take one precision entry, and stand down. The trader sets a weekly bias from higher-timeframe levels, waits for the week's low (in a bullish week) or high (in a bearish week) to form — anticipated Monday through Wednesday, often during the London session — then enters on an optimal trade entry retracement inside a killzone, targeting the far side of the projected weekly range.
The model is as much about frequency as tactics: one quality fill per week instead of many marginal ones. It comes from the older, forum-era body of ICT teaching, so circulating definitions vary more than for later, tightly specified models such as Model 2022, but the skeleton is stable: weekly bias, day-of-week timing for the weekly extreme, session timing for the entry, single execution.
How traders use it
- As a weekly campaign template: bias is set on the weekly and daily charts, and execution drops to intraday timeframes only after the projected weekly extreme appears to be in.
- As a frequency discipline: the one-trade constraint filters out mid-week chop, overtrading and revenge entries; a missed shot means a flat week, not a chase.
- As a management frame: the target is the weekly objective, so intraday pullbacks are held through rather than managed reactively, and the stop belongs beyond the weekly extreme that defines the idea.

One-shot-one-kill FAQ
What does One Shot One Kill mean in ICT trading?
It is the discipline of taking one carefully selected trade per week: establish weekly bias, wait for the week's manipulation to set the weekly low or high, enter once at a precise retracement, and target the opposite end of the weekly range. The name is sniper language: precision and patience over volume of trades.
When does the low or high of the week form in the OSOK model?
The template anticipates the weekly extreme forming Monday through Wednesday, frequently during the London session, after which the week trends toward its objective. That is a taught tendency, not a statistic to lean on blindly; plenty of weeks put their extreme on Thursday or Friday, which is why the model demands confirmation before the single entry.
