- 0:10how's it going everyone this video is
- 0:12going to be over ict's power of three or
- 0:14accumulation manipulation and
- 0:16distribution we'll first briefly go over
- 0:19what open high low close and open low
- 0:21high close is before jumping into what
- 0:24the power of three is how to identify it
- 0:26and some examples now before we begin
- 0:28the most important part is to have some
- 0:30higher time frame order flow or Draw on
- 0:32liquidity there has to be some sort of
- 0:34narrative or you are just trading
- 0:36patterns so what is open high low close
- 0:38and open low high close open high low
- 0:41close and open low high close just refer
- 0:43to the open low high and close of a
- 0:47higher time frame candle so for instance
- 0:49if this is the daily candle and this is
- 0:52the intraday price action price opens
- 0:55puts in a low makes a high and then
- 0:58closes similarly ly down here price
- 1:01opens makes a high puts in a low and
- 1:05then closes now the goal is to catch the
- 1:08expansion move or the bulk of the
- 1:09intraday range and that is where the
- 1:11power of three comes in so the power of
- 1:13three or AMD refers to accumulation
- 1:17manipulation and distribution now
- 1:19accumulation is a range or a
- 1:21consolidation now what this does is
- 1:23creates buy stops above old highs and
- 1:25sell stops below old lows now when we
- 1:28enter manipulation it is a false
- 1:30breakout outside of this range what this
- 1:32does is stops out any Longs entering
- 1:34during accumulation as well as induces
- 1:37breakout sellers into the market then
- 1:39price distributes higher and completes
- 1:41that power of three so you can see here
- 1:45accumulation manipulates so what this
- 1:47does is induces breakout buyers and run
- 1:50shorts out of their positions and then
- 1:52distributes lowers so let's go ahead and
- 1:54overlay this on the last example so here
- 1:57you can see we have accumulation
- 2:00manipulation which stops out anyone long
- 2:03in here as well as sellers are going to
- 2:06enter the market playing this breakout
- 2:08and then price reverses and distributes
- 2:11higher creating the daily range
- 2:13similarly down here price is
- 2:15consolidating any early shorts gets
- 2:18stopped out any breakout buyers enter
- 2:20the market then price reverses and
- 2:23distributes lower so how and when do I
- 2:25look for entries using the power roof 3
- 2:27well there are two ways I look for
- 2:29entries here the first would be within
- 2:31the manipulation I'm going to be looking
- 2:33for reversal patterns here in the
- 2:35manipulation looking to catch this whole
- 2:38distribution however if I miss this or
- 2:41do not like to trade this I will be
- 2:42looking for a continuation entry in this
- 2:45distribution so going back to our
- 2:47example here for these Longs I could be
- 2:49looking for a reversal here within the
- 2:51manipulation or looking for a
- 2:53continuation pattern here looking for
- 2:55higher prices similarly down here I
- 2:58could be looking for sells on on this
- 3:00reversal here or looking to trade this
- 3:02continuation lower so let's hop into the
- 3:04chart and look at a few examples of this
- 3:06so here we are on the charts and the
- 3:08first thing I want to talk about is this
- 3:09concept is fractal so I can use it on
- 3:12the lower time frames as well as the
- 3:14higher time frames we are first going to
- 3:16go over some examples on the lower time
- 3:18frame and then work our way to the
- 3:19higher time frames and the intraday
- 3:21profile so if you notice here we have
- 3:23New York open making this move up and
- 3:25then all the way back down so marking
- 3:27out this morning's low let's see what
- 3:29happens once price takes this
- 3:36low so you can see price took this low
- 3:39and we are creating a range or a
- 3:41consolidation so let's go ahead and Mark
- 3:43this out with a green box so now what is
- 3:45happening here liquidity is being built
- 3:48Above This high and above this low so if
- 3:50I'm looking for price to continue lower
- 3:52I'd like to see manipulation out of this
- 3:54side of the range to go lower if price
- 3:57is going to reverse and go back higher
- 3:59I'd like to see it manipulate down first
- 4:01and then distribute higher so let's see
- 4:03what
- 4:07happens so here you can see we get an
- 4:09aggressive move down which is out of the
- 4:11range sweeping this low and then
- 4:13aggressively back into the range here so
- 4:16this would be our deviation from the
- 4:18range or our manipulation so now from
- 4:20here I'm going to be looking for an
- 4:22entry long however I'm not looking for a
- 4:24market structure shift because we would
- 4:26need to break this high up here so what
- 4:28I can do here is look for for an
- 4:29inversion or I can also look for the Box
- 4:32setup which would be taking this
- 4:33previous body's low over here so now
- 4:35what I'd look for is price to reach into
- 4:38this inversion now that it is closed
- 4:40over my stop on this low and let's say
- 4:43I'm looking for 2
- 4:51R and there we go we get our
- 4:54accumulation manipulation and let's go
- 4:57ahead and remove this so we can
- 4:58visualize the distribution which is here
- 5:01so you can see that is our power of
- 5:03three or our accumulation manipulation
- 5:06and distribution so here we are on the 5
- 5:08minute chart moving up from the one
- 5:10minute chart and take a moment and look
- 5:11at this price action and what do you
- 5:14see now you might see the failure swings
- 5:17right here on this high and we have
- 5:19sells side liquidity resting right here
- 5:22so let's see what happens here as price
- 5:25continues now if you notice we have a
- 5:28consolidation right here
- 5:31and we are leaving this range
- 5:34aggressively we sweep this
- 5:37low and now we get aggressive movement
- 5:40back into this range so we have our
- 5:43accumulation our
- 5:45manipulation which not only took the
- 5:48lows from our consolidation here but
- 5:50also sells side liquidity here and so
- 5:53now what can we anticipate we can
- 5:55anticipate distribution or a move up to
- 5:58these failure swings so looking at it
- 6:00where could we get an entry well we have
- 6:03an inversion right here so looking to
- 6:06take an entry here my stop on this low
- 6:10and then my target on this High let's
- 6:12see how this works
- 6:19out and it was pretty messy price action
- 6:22but you can see that we do in fact get
- 6:25our distribution above these old highs
- 6:28in this example we will be taking a look
- 6:30at the power of three for the daily
- 6:32candle or anticipating the Open high low
- 6:34close or open low high close so here we
- 6:37are just after midnight let's go skip
- 6:39forward to the London
- 6:43session so you can see as we're entering
- 6:46the London session here what do we have
- 6:48right here we have a consolidation range
- 6:52now what happens during London we're
- 6:54getting an aggressive move
- 6:57down is that me with an aggressive
- 6:59agressive move up yes we put in a down
- 7:01close candle here close above it retest
- 7:04it here and are moving higher so this is
- 7:08our
- 7:09manipulation so what can we anticipate
- 7:11we can anticipate distribution higher
- 7:13into the end of London and New York
- 7:16session and if this is correct this will
- 7:19be the manipulation of the daily candle
- 7:21and create a
- 7:26wick so here we start to move higher
- 7:34and there is our New York open and we
- 7:37move higher and higher here so you can
- 7:40see London sets the low of day here
- 7:43after manipulating the Asian range and
- 7:46then we distribute higher through the
- 7:48New York am session and zooming out and
- 7:51letting this continue until the end of
- 7:54day you can see we put in an open low
- 7:59High close our London was the
- 8:01manipulation creating the wick of the
- 8:04daily candle and then we got the
- 8:06distribution or the expansion of the
- 8:08daily candle so let's take a look at our
- 8:10next example once again using the daily
- 8:12candles power of three so here we have
- 8:14midnight open let's go to our London
- 8:19session so here we are in London session
- 8:22and what do you notice about this price
- 8:23action here all we did was consolidate
- 8:26so let's go ahead and Mark that out as
- 8:28our ACC accumulation What's Happening
- 8:31Here in London is we are manipulating so
- 8:34let's see if this is met with an
- 8:36aggressive move back into the range
- 8:38because if we fail to displace back into
- 8:40the range we're likely to go
- 8:44lower and here you can see we get our
- 8:47accumulation manipulation we
- 8:49aggressively displace out and back into
- 8:51the range so here is our manipulation
- 8:54and now what can we anticipate
- 8:56distribution higher so
- 8:59looking for distribution higher here so
- 9:01let's let this play out and see what
- 9:10happens and there you go you can see we
- 9:13get our distribution higher so once
- 9:15again looking back we have accumulation
- 9:18of the Asia range London manipulation
- 9:21and then distribution into the New York
- 9:23open however at the New York open we do
- 9:25reach into this new day opening Gap so
- 9:27let's go ahead and Mark that out now
- 9:29let's drop down to a lower time frame
- 9:30and see if we can spot another AMD so
- 9:33down here on the one minute chart here
- 9:35is our new day opening Gap and the
- 9:37consequent encroachment of it what do we
- 9:39notice about the price action prior to
- 9:41the New York open here it is just
- 9:43consolidation right then what do we have
- 9:45we have an aggressive move out of the
- 9:47range here now at this point we're still
- 9:49respecting the New York opening price
- 9:51and this down close candle so I'd want
- 9:52to see further displacement down to
- 9:55confirm this
- 9:57idea so here we get that aggressive have
- 9:59moved down now so what can I anticipate
- 10:02some form of distribution lower now some
- 10:04of you might be asking how do I know how
- 10:06far this distribution is going to go and
- 10:08that is generally when I like to project
- 10:10the manipulation so here I would be
- 10:13projecting from this low to this high is
- 10:15that's the low that made the
- 10:17manipulation move and it's more visible
- 10:19on the 30 second chart so we will drop
- 10:21down to that so you can see this is the
- 10:24low that made the new high before we
- 10:26reversed so going back to the 1 minute
- 10:29chart this gives us some targets for
- 10:32this
- 10:33distribution so here we have the 2 to
- 10:362.5 and then our 4 to
- 10:384.5 so from here do we have any PD
- 10:41arrays that line up with that yes we
- 10:44have some equal lows right
- 10:46here and then zooming out we have that
- 10:50London manipulation that lines up with
- 10:52the fourth standard
- 10:53deviation so let's see how this plays
- 10:58out so we hit our first standard
- 11:01deviation get a retracement to an up
- 11:03close
- 11:05candle we go lower into the 2 to 2.5
- 11:08standard
- 11:09deviations and there we just go sweep
- 11:12those
- 11:21lows and then letting this speed up you
- 11:24can
- 11:25see we put in more equal lows here
- 11:28leaving the London
- 11:31low and then there we take the London
- 11:34low into this area here one thing I'm
- 11:37going to go over quickly is many people
- 11:39struggle to find the consolidation
- 11:41instead of focusing on the consolidation
- 11:43just focus on where there is aggressive
- 11:45price action out and back into a range
- 11:48so for example here after we hit this
- 11:50London low let's see what
- 11:53happens here we get an aggressive move
- 11:55down and then back into what range right
- 11:58here I have now identified this
- 12:01consolidation and then here is the
- 12:02manipulation so I'd want to see
- 12:05distribution Above This high and
- 12:08possibly up higher letting this play
- 12:11out you can see we get aggressive move
- 12:14over this
- 12:16high and then now we get an aggressive
- 12:18move back into this range so now what is
- 12:20happening let's zoom in a little we just
- 12:23identified the aggressive price action
- 12:24here where is the aggressive price
- 12:26action here right there now we can
- 12:29identify this consolidation and then
- 12:31where would we want the distribution
- 12:33lower below this
- 12:36low and if we're going to get a
- 12:38continuation lower what is the low that
- 12:40made this high right there so let's see
- 12:43how this one plays
- 12:49out and you can see how we had
- 12:52accumulation manipulation we do
- 12:55distribute over this old high however
- 12:57when we displace back into this range we
- 13:00enter a new accumulation manipulation
- 13:03distribution and this one is going with
- 13:06the higher time frame Trend and the
- 13:08whole point of this segment of this
- 13:09video is if you struggle to find the
- 13:12consolidations focus instead on the
- 13:14manipulations and then identify the
- 13:16consolidation range in which this
- 13:19manipulated outside of so here we are
- 13:21with our last example and let's move
- 13:23towards our lenon session to see what
- 13:27happens
- 13:30here we enter our London session now if
- 13:33you haven't already identified the
- 13:35accumulation let's take a look at the
- 13:37manipulation and then work
- 13:39backwards so here you can see we get an
- 13:42aggressive move out and then back in So
- 13:45marking this out and we look left where
- 13:47is the range that we manipulated out of
- 13:50right
- 13:52here so here is our
- 13:55manipulation now where is our
- 13:57accumulation we Mark out this range so
- 14:01anticipating distribution where can we
- 14:03anticipate that to distribute to here I
- 14:06can use a projection of this
- 14:07manipulation leg so from this high to
- 14:10the low that made the new high which
- 14:12would be right here and if you can see
- 14:14price went up then down again this is
- 14:18where I would want to see price go to so
- 14:21marking out the 2 to 2.5 in the fourth
- 14:23standard
- 14:24deviation I'd want to see price reach
- 14:26for these areas so visualizing the
- 14:29distribution I'd want to see price reach
- 14:32or do something like this now what would
- 14:34that mean for the daily candle that
- 14:36would mean that from our open here this
- 14:39is the manipulation of the daily candle
- 14:41which should create a wick and then I'd
- 14:43want to see the daily candle form as it
- 14:45moves lower so let's see what
- 14:50happens and if you know the Box setup
- 14:52you know that a possible entry lies
- 14:54right here when we retest this deviation
- 14:56from the range or the manipulation here
- 14:58we reach into the 2 to 2.5 standard
- 15:01deviations where we can anticipate a
- 15:03retracement or reversal and you can see
- 15:05how this daily candle is starting to
- 15:08form here we get a retracement back into
- 15:12a fair value Gap and these up Clos
- 15:14candles here and we start to distribute
- 15:18lower and there we reach our 4 to 4.5
- 15:21standard
- 15:23deviations here I am happy with the
- 15:25overall range of the daily candle but
- 15:27let's see if it expands
- 15:31lower and you can see it doesn't do a
- 15:34whole lot after that now taking a quick
- 15:37look at this you can see we have our
- 15:39accumulation our manipulation and this
- 15:42manipulation above midnight open will
- 15:45form the wick of the daily candle and
- 15:47then we get our distribution creating
- 15:49the body of the daily candle before it
- 15:52closes I hope you found this video
- 15:54helpful if you do want a part two of
- 15:56this where I go over AMD paired with
- 15:59standard deviations let me know and I
- 16:01will work on that if you are looking to
- 16:03get some more information on standard
- 16:05deviations I will also link Dexter lab's
- 16:08Twitter in the description below and I
- 16:10hope you guys have a great rest of your
- 16:12day and I'll see you guys next
- 16:22time
