📌 Power Of 3 ICT 01 [TradingFinder] – AMD ICT & SMC Accumulations

Overview:
The Power Of 3 ICT 01 indicator by TradingFinder is designed to visually map out the classic Accumulation–Manipulation–Distribution (AMD) phases of price behavior, based on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and Smart Money Concepts (SMC) principles. It helps traders recognize the underlying structure of the trading day using session-based detection aligned to the New York timezone.

🔍 Core Logic:

This script divides each trading day into three logical phases:

Accumulation (19:00–01:00 EST)
The period when institutions quietly build positions within a tight range.

Manipulation (01:00–07:00 EST)
False moves designed to induce retail participation in the wrong direction.

Distribution (07:00–13:00 EST)
The actual directional move after trapping liquidity.

These zones are visually marked on the chart using colored transparent boxes, with labels for clear identification.

🛠️ Key Features:

Session-Based Detection:
Uses Pine Script’s time() function to identify when the chart time falls within each of the defined AMD sessions.

Automatic High/Low Range Detection:
For each phase, the indicator tracks the highest high and lowest low within the session window to draw a price range box.

Visual Markers:
Distinct labels and shaded boxes are plotted for each zone:

🔹 Accumulation → Blue

🔸 Manipulation → Orange

🟢 Distribution → Cyan

Fully Customizable Settings:
Each phase’s visibility, session time, and color can be adjusted from the input panel.

📈 Ideal Use Case:

For traders following ICT/SMC methodology

For intraday structure mapping

To combine with other tools like Order Blocks, FVGs, or session breakouts

⚙️ Customization Options:

✅ Toggle visibility for each phase independently

🕒 Modify session start/end times

🎨 Choose custom colors for phase boxes and labels

⚠️ Note: Best used on intraday timeframes (60 min or lower). The indicator is optimized for charts set to the America/New_York timezone.
