AMD

HTF Candle PO3 AMD SessionsHTF Session Dashboard (Higher Timeframe Candles) Core idea: This indicator allows you to view the price action of a Higher Timeframe (HTF) drawn as full candles directly on your current lower timeframe chart. It's designed to keep you aware of the macro market structure without needing to constantly switch timeframes. How It Works Instead of just showing standard HTF levels, this indicator dynamically builds and projects the current day's higher timeframe candles (e.g., 4-Hour candles) off to the right side of your active chart (e.g., a 1-minute or 5-minute chart). The candles are constructed in real-time. As price moves on your lower timeframe, the active "current" HTF candle will grow its wicks and adjust its body live. Key Features Live HTF Candle Projection: Displays the sequence of HTF candles that make up the current trading day, spaced neatly to the right of the current price action. Session Extremes: Automatically draws dotted reference lines stretching across your chart to highlight the absolute High, Low, Body High, and Body Low of the entire current session. Live Countdown Timer: Shows a dynamic timer above and below the candle cluster indicating exactly how much time is left until the active HTF candle closes. Hour Labels: Every HTF candle has a small label indicating its open hour (with an adjustable timezone offset setting) to help you quickly identify Kill Zones within the macro candles. Visual Customization: Fully adjustable body width, transparency, spacing, offset distance, and bull/bear color schemes. Clean Daily Reset: The indicator automatically clears the prior day's candles at midnight (exchange time) and begins building the new sequence, keeping your chart uncluttered. Why Use This? When trading intraday (like on a 1m chart), it's easy to get lost in the noise and trade right into a major 4-Hour support or resistance level. By projecting the 4-Hour candles directly onto your 1-minute chart, you always know exactly where you are relative to the higher timeframe narrative and structure. Recommended Settings HTF Setting: 240 (4 Hours) or 60 (1 Hour) when trading on a 1m–15m chart. Hour Label Offset: Adjust this (e.g., +1 or -1) if you want the candle hour labels to match a specific local time zone (like EST) rather than exchange time.

PO3 / AMD MatrixThis script is a visual mapping tool for the ICT Power of 3 (PO3) / AMD framework. It uses the foundational ICT rule that "Time Supersedes Price" by segmenting your daily trading chart into three highly specific algorithmic time windows. Here is exactly how the script breaks down the price delivery cycle: 1. Accumulation Phase (Default: 20:00 - 00:00) The script starts the daily cycle by tracking the initial consolidation range where "Smart Money" is quietly building positions. Visuals: It dynamically draws a gray box wrapping the highest high and lowest low of price during this specific time window. Purpose: This establishes the initial liquidity boundaries for the upcoming sessions. 2. The True Opening Price (Midnight Open) At exactly 00:00 (or whatever time you set the Manipulation phase to begin), the algorithm locks in the "True Opening Price". Visuals: The script draws a thick, solid white line starting at that opening candle. Purpose: This line is projected forward across the rest of the day. It acts as your primary benchmark. Any move below this line is considered "Discount" (cheap/manipulation for longs) and any move above is "Premium" (expensive/manipulation for shorts). 3. Manipulation Phase / Judas Swing (Default: 00:00 - 08:30) This is the engineered move designed to trap retail traders by hunting the liquidity built up during the Accumulation phase. Visuals: The script draws a red box that dynamically traces the highs and lows during this window. Purpose: By contrasting this red box against your solid white "True Open" line, you can easily identify the Judas Swing—the fakeout wick that sweeps stops before reversing into the true trend. 4. Distribution Phase (Default: 08:30 - 16:00) This is the true directional expansion of the day, yielding the bulk of the daily candlestick body. Visuals: A green box is drawn dynamically wrapping the price action during this high-volatility window. The True Open line is also extended straight through this box so you can see how far price has expanded from the daily baseline. Customization: All the session times (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution) are completely editable in the settings. You can adjust the times to match your broker's timezone or to target specific micro-macros within a session. The colors for all boxes and the opening line are also fully customizable!

Strong Tech Stocks Screener | ProjectSyndicateStrong Tech Stocks Screener turns dozens of charts into a single institutional-style dashboard, ranking a curated universe of 40 leading tech, AI, and semiconductor names by performance across six timeframes and scoring each one on professional-grade risk metrics — Beta, Sharpe, Sortino, Omega, Z-Score, and Kelly — so you can find the leaders and weigh their risk-adjusted quality at a glance, all on one clean, sortable panel. Every figure is computed live on the daily timeframe from real price history, not hard-coded, so the board reflects the market as it actually is right now. 📊 Curated 40-Name Tech Universe — the screener watches a hand-picked list of 40 high-momentum tech, AI, and semiconductor stocks in one place. Instead of flipping through forty charts, you see every name's performance and risk profile side by side and immediately spot who is leading and who is rolling over. 🗓️ Six-Timeframe Performance — each stock is tracked across Week, Month, Quarter, 6-Month, 12-Month, and Year-to-Date returns, so you can separate a one-week pop from a genuine long-run trend and see momentum building or fading across horizons in a single row. 🧮 Institutional Risk Metrics, Done Properly — beyond raw returns, every name is scored on Sharpe (excess return per unit of total volatility), Sortino (return per unit of downside risk only), Omega (probability-weighted gains versus losses above the risk-free threshold), Z-Score (how stretched the recent move is in standard deviations), and the Kelly fraction (a theoretical optimal-sizing read from return and variance). The stats are annualized from daily returns over a rolling window with a configurable risk-free rate, so the risk picture is consistent and comparable across the whole list. 🎯 Basket-Relative Beta — Beta is measured against an equal-weight basket of the 40 names in the screener, so it tells you how a stock moves relative to this specific tech/AI cohort rather than a broad index. Beta above 1 swings harder than the group; below 1 is steadier. You control the lookback length used for the beta and correlation calculation. 🌡️ Annualized Weekly Volatility — a dedicated Wk Vol column annualizes the standard deviation of recent weekly returns, giving you a fast read on how violent each name's price action is before you size into it. 🔀 Dynamic Sorting — sort the entire board by any of the six performance columns with a single setting. Rank by YTD to find the year's leaders, by Week to catch what is moving now, or by any horizon in between — the table re-ranks instantly. 🎨 Bloomberg-Amber Theme with Color-Coded Strength — a clean amber-on-black dashboard with a multi-level gradient that runs from bright amber on the strongest gains through to deep red on the steepest losses, so strength and weakness jump out the moment you look at the panel. 🧩 Fully Customizable Dashboard — place the table anywhere on the chart (Top / Middle / Bottom paired with Left / Center / Right), choose your text size (Tiny / Small / Normal / Large), set the sort column, the beta length, and the risk-free rate and periods — all from the settings menu, no code editing required. 🔒 Daily-Timeframe Lock — the screener is built for daily data and will prompt you to switch if you load it on a lower timeframe, so the returns, volatility, and ratios are always calculated on the basis they are designed for. ⚡ Lightweight and Efficient — the whole 40-name board is built from a tight, well-organized script that runs smoothly on TradingView, with a clean merged title heading and an alternating-row layout for easy reading. 🎯 Why this is different — most watchlists show you price and maybe a percentage move. This screener puts performance and a full institutional risk stack — Sharpe, Sortino, Omega, Z-Score, Kelly, Beta, and annualized volatility — for forty leading tech names on one sortable, color-coded panel, so you are ranking opportunities by risk-adjusted quality, not just chasing the biggest green number. 🚀 Where to use it — apply it to any daily chart to monitor the tech/AI/semiconductor leadership group as a whole. Use it for top-down scanning, rotation ideas, and risk screening before you drill into an individual name's chart for entry timing. ⚠️ Important — this is a research and decision-support dashboard, not a buy/sell system, and it makes no performance guarantees. All figures are historical and descriptive, computed from past price data, and say nothing certain about the future. Risk metrics like Sharpe, Sortino, Omega, Z-Score, and Kelly are simplified, assumption-based estimates and should inform your judgment, not replace it. Always pair the screener with your own analysis and risk management.

HTF Power of Three @SafarTradesHTF Power of Three HTF Power of Three is a higher timeframe visualization framework designed to project a developing Daily, Weekly, or Monthly candle directly onto a lower timeframe chart. The indicator is built around ICT's Power of Three (PO3) concept, allowing traders to monitor the current higher timeframe range and observe how price develops within that structure throughout the session. Rather than repeatedly switching between execution and higher timeframes, traders can maintain awareness of the active higher timeframe candle while remaining focused on lower timeframe execution. Many traders use the Daily, Weekly, or Monthly candle as a reference for directional bias, range analysis, and Power of Three development. However, viewing these structures traditionally requires frequent timeframe changes. HTF Power of Three solves this by projecting the active higher timeframe candle directly onto the chart, allowing traders to continuously monitor: • Current higher timeframe range • Relative position of current price within that range • Expansion of the active candle as new price data forms • Potential accumulation, manipulation, and distribution development • Higher timeframe context during lower timeframe execution Power of Three Framework The indicator is designed to help traders visualize how price is developing inside the active higher timeframe range. As the higher timeframe candle evolves, the projected structure updates in real time, allowing traders to monitor changes in range expansion, directional movement, and overall delivery without leaving the execution chart. By maintaining visibility of the active higher timeframe candle, traders can better understand where current price is trading relative to the projected range and how the developing structure aligns with their market narrative. Higher Timeframe Reference Levels The projected candle includes key higher timeframe reference points that help traders maintain context throughout the session. Optional display elements include: • Open • High • Low • Current Close • Range Information • Price-Based Range Measurements • Tick-Based Range Measurements These references allow traders to quickly evaluate the state of the developing higher timeframe candle without requiring separate charts. Customization The indicator includes extensive display controls allowing users to customize: • Daily, Weekly, or Monthly projections • Projection positioning and offset • Bullish and bearish candle appearance • Wick, border, and body styling • OHLC label visibility • Range table visibility • Table positioning • Range display format • Daily calculation method options Intended Use HTF Power of Three is designed for traders who combine lower timeframe execution with higher timeframe narrative and range analysis. By projecting the active Daily, Weekly, or Monthly candle directly onto the chart, the indicator provides continuous visibility of higher timeframe structure while reducing the need for constant timeframe switching.

AMD Session TrackerAMD Session Tracker plots the three major forex sessions (Asia, London, New York) as live-growing colored boxes with high/low extension lines, then layers AMD framework analysis on top. Detects in real time when London sweeps the Asian range and when NY sweeps the London range — the core mechanics of the Accumulation / Manipulation / Distribution model. WHAT IS AMD AMD stands for Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution — a market structure framework popularized by ICT and SMC traders. The Asian session typically accumulates in a tight range, London manipulates by sweeping that range to grab liquidity above or below it, and New York distributes in the resulting direction. This indicator tracks all three sessions and detects the sweep relationships between them as price action develops. FEATURES Live-growing session boxes for Asia (7PM–3AM), London (3AM–8AM), and New York (8AM–12PM) — all times America/New York with automatic DST adjustment Asian range high/low extension lines projected into London and NY for liquidity targeting Sweep tracking: detects when London sweeps Asian high or low (manipulation phase) and when NY sweeps London high or low (distribution phase) Dashboard shows current AMD phase, session high/low/range, and sweep status — sweep cells highlight amber the moment a sweep occurs Auto-detects pip size for JPY pairs, other forex, metals, indices, and crypto — no manual configuration Optional 50% midline marker for each session Six dashboard position options for indicator layout flexibility Built-in alerts for session opens AND first-time sweeps of prior session highs and lows HOW TO USE Watch for London to sweep the Asian range during the manipulation phase — this is the highest-probability AMD setup signal. After the sweep, look for displacement back into the Asian range and a fair value gap to enter on the retracement. NY then often continues in the post-sweep direction (distribution). Set alerts on "Asia High Swept" and "Asia Low Swept" to get notified the moment manipulation occurs, even if you're away from the chart. Pairs cleanly with Fair Value Gaps (FVG) and Key Swing Levels (KSL) from the same author — three indicators designed to coexist on the same chart with non-overlapping dashboards by default (AMD top-right, KSL also top-right but movable, FVG bottom-left). Open-source. Feedback and forks welcome.

AMD Absorption | AnonycryptousAmd Absorption | Anonycryptous Description & user manual Why this indicator is different Most AMD indicators do the same thing. They draw a box for Asia, a box for London, a box for New York, and call it a cycle. They show you where the sessions are. They do not show you what is happening inside them. Amd Absorption works differently. It detects the full accumulation-manipulation-distribution cycle mechanically, bar by bar, within whatever session windows you define. It does not assume the cycle follows a fixed schedule. It finds it where it actually forms. And it only confirms a signal when the manipulation sweep shows evidence of institutional absorption — high volume on a bar that barely moves. That is the difference between a sweep that fails and a sweep that leads somewhere. Most traders can look at a chart in hindsight and identify an AMD cycle. The challenge is identifying it in the moment, on any asset, at any time. That is what this indicator is built to do. It works on every instrument. Crypto, futures, forex, stocks, commodities. The session windows, detection parameters, and absorption thresholds adapt to the asset class through a preset system. The same logic that detects a liquidity sweep on a bitcoin five-minute chart detects it on a gold two-minute chart, a nasdaq futures one-minute chart, or a forex fifteen-minute chart. Important notice Amd Absorption generates trading signals based on pattern detection and volume analysis. These signals are not financial advice. They do not predict the future. They do not guarantee profitability. All trading decisions are made entirely by the user. Always manage your own risk. Always apply your own judgment. 1. Overview Amd Absorption is a cycle detection and entry timing indicator built around three phases of price behavior: accumulation, manipulation, and distribution. What it includes: - Mechanical AMD cycle detection within configurable session windows - Absorption filter on the manipulation bar using volume and body/range analysis - Five asset class presets with individually tuned detection parameters - Three-phase candle coloring showing accumulation, manipulation, and distribution in real time - Absorption dot markers on qualifying manipulation bars - Distribution target box with configurable stop loss mode and risk/reward ratio - Volume-weighted price levels as structural reference and target zones - Vertical session boundary lines at open and close - Configurable session background colors - Live dashboard showing session status, preset, last signal, and absorption statistics - Alerts for bull and bear setups 2. The AMD cycle 2.1 Accumulation A defined period of price compression. The market moves within a narrow range while smart money builds a position. Amd Absorption detects this as a rolling high-low range falling below a configurable percentage threshold over a set lookback period. During this phase, candles are colored gray. 2.2 Manipulation After accumulation, price sweeps beyond the range boundary — above the high for a bearish setup, below the low for a bullish setup. This is the liquidity grab. Market orders resting beyond the range are collected. Stops are hit. Retail traders enter in the wrong direction. During this phase, candles are colored in the direction of the sweep — red for a bear sweep, green for a bull sweep. 2.3 Distribution The real move begins. Price reverses from the sweep extreme and creates a fair value gap — a three-candle imbalance confirming displacement. The signal fires. A distribution target box is drawn from the entry close to the calculated take profit level. Candle coloring continues in the signal direction for the duration of the distribution box, then stops automatically. The cycle can repeat multiple times within a single session. There is no hard limit on setups per session. - A note on signal quality versus cycle validity An AMD cycle that does not produce a signal triangle can still play out fully. The triangle means the manipulation bar showed mechanical absorption — volume confirmed, body was small. That is additional evidence of institutional presence at the sweep level. It raises conviction. It does not make setups without it invalid. Many clean AMD cycles complete without a qualifying absorption bar. The candle coloring will show the full cycle regardless. The triangle is a quality filter, not the only valid setup. 3. The absorption filter The absorption filter is what separates Amd Absorption from a standard cycle detector. A manipulation sweep can occur for many reasons. Not every sweep leads to a reversal. The ones that do tend to share a specific characteristic on the sweep bar itself: high volume combined with a small candle body relative to the bar's range. This pattern means price moved far on heavy participation — a big wick — but the bar closed near where it opened. Something was absorbing the selling or buying pressure. The move did not follow through. That is absorption. It is the mechanical fingerprint of institutional defense of a level. When the absorption filter is enabled, the signal only fires if the manipulation bar meets both conditions: volume above a configurable multiple of the rolling average, and a body-to-range ratio below a configurable threshold. Bars that qualify are colored in the absorption color and marked with a dot above or below the candle. The filter can be disabled. With the filter off, every valid AMD + FVG pattern fires a signal. With it on, only the setups with volume confirmation fire. The trade-off is signal frequency versus quality. 4. Presets Presets automatically configure the four core detection parameters — accumulation lookback, maximum range width, absorption volume multiplier, and absorption body ratio — for each asset class. Crypto Lookback: 15 bars. Range: 1.20%. Volume multiplier: 1.2×. Body ratio: 0.55. Wider range tolerance for volatile 24/7 markets. Looser volume threshold because crypto volume behavior differs from traditional markets. Futures Lookback: 20 bars. Range: 0.40%. Volume multiplier: 1.4×. Body ratio: 0.45. Tight range detection for institutionally driven instruments. Higher volume requirement to match the tick-level precision of futures order flow. Forex Lookback: 25 bars. Range: 0.25%. Volume multiplier: 1.3×. Body ratio: 0.50. Longest lookback and tightest range for the slow, deliberate consolidations common in major pairs. Moderate volume threshold. Stocks Lookback: 22 bars. Range: 0.50%. Volume multiplier: 1.4×. Body ratio: 0.50. Balanced settings between futures and forex. Works across individual equities and equity indices. Commodities Lookback: 22 bars. Range: 0.35%. Volume multiplier: 1.4×. Body ratio: 0.50. Designed for gold, silver, oil, and similar instruments. Tighter than forex but more tolerant than futures. Handles institutional spikes well. Custom All four parameters are set manually in the Amd Logic and Absorption Filter groups. Use this when the presets do not match the behavior of a specific instrument or timeframe combination. Note: the manipulation search window, FVG size filter, and ATR length are always set manually regardless of preset. These three parameters are active for all presets and can be adjusted freely. 5. Sessions Amd Absorption detects AMD cycles only within active session windows. Outside of sessions, no accumulation is tracked, no sweeps are detected, and candle coloring is inactive. This prevents false setups forming during off-hours thin markets. Three sessions are configurable: Asia, London, and New York. Each session has an independent toggle, a clock-picker for start and end time, and a background color. All session times are entered in your selected timezone, which can be set to any UTC offset from UTC-12 to UTC+12. A thin vertical line marks both the opening and closing of each active session. This gives you a clear visual boundary for each session's cycle. The opening line and closing line use the same configurable color. 6. Distribution box When a signal fires, a distribution target box is drawn from the entry bar forward. The box represents the expected move from entry to take profit. Two stop loss modes are available: Atr mode Stop loss distance is calculated as ATR × the configured multiplier. This gives a consistent distance across all setups regardless of the exact FVG size. Useful for instruments where ATR matches your natural stop placement. Fvg structure mode Stop loss is placed at the outer edge of the FVG candle — above the FVG high for a bear setup, below the FVG low for a bull setup. This uses the actual market structure as the invalidation point, which is how many practitioners manage stops on this type of setup. The take profit is calculated as: entry ± stop distance × RR ratio. The default ratio is 2.0, giving a 1:2 reward-to-risk setup. The ratio is adjustable. The box width is fixed in bars. It does not track price. When the configured number of bars elapses, candle coloring for the distribution phase stops automatically. For position sizing and stop management, Risk Management Engine by Anonycryptous can be used alongside this indicator. 7. Price levels Volume-weighted pivot highs and lows are drawn as horizontal reference lines. Pivot highs above current price act as resistance. Pivot lows below current price act as support. Each level shows its exact price value. Line appearance reflects volume strength. A stronger volume reading at the pivot produces a more visible glow layer. Weaker pivots are more subdued. Levels disappear automatically when price touches them. The maximum number of visible levels is configurable. These levels serve as structural context and potential distribution targets for confirmed signals. 8. Candle coloring Amd Absorption colors candles to show the current phase of the cycle. The coloring is active only within session windows. Gray — accumulation phase. Price is consolidating within the detected range. Red (bear) or green (bull), dim — manipulation phase. A sweep has been detected and the indicator is searching for a confirming FVG. Colors the sweep candles and any subsequent candles until the FVG fires or the search window expires. Absorption color (default purple) — absorption bar. A candle within the manipulation phase that meets both volume and body conditions. Also marked with a dot above or below the bar. Red (bear) or green (bull), dim — distribution phase. Fires from the signal bar and continues until the distribution box width elapses. Priority: absorption color overrides distribution, which overrides manipulation, which overrides accumulation. 9. Dashboard The dashboard shows: - Session — current active session or off - Preset — active asset preset - Last signal — direction of the most recent confirmed signal - Last session — which session the last signal occurred in - Abs / setups — absorption-confirmed signals vs total AMD setups detected - Abs filter — whether the absorption filter is on or off - Accumulation — current accumulation state: active, searching, or none Position is configurable: top left, top right, bottom left, or bottom right. Size is configurable: tiny, small, or normal. 10.

How to use 11.1 Initial setup 1. Select the preset that matches your instrument. 2. Set your timezone to match your location or preferred session reference. 3. Enable the sessions you trade. Set the times to match the actual session opens for your timezone. 4. Choose a stop loss mode. Fvg structure is the more precise option. Atr is more consistent if FVGs on your timeframe vary significantly in size. 5. Set your RR ratio. Default 2.0 is a starting point — adjust to your own risk management rules. 6. If using the custom preset, start with the preset values as a reference and tune from there. 11.2 Reading the chart Look at the session background. Once a session opens, accumulation detection begins. When candles turn gray, accumulation is active. The indicator has found a range that qualifies as consolidation. This is the waiting phase. When candles turn red or green, a sweep has been detected. The indicator is now looking for a confirming FVG. This is the alert phase — something is happening. When a purple (or absorption-colored) candle appears with a dot, the sweep bar showed absorption. This is the highest-quality moment within the manipulation phase. A signal is likely imminent if a FVG forms on the next bars. When a signal triangle fires, the full AMD cycle has confirmed with FVG and absorption. The distribution box appears showing the entry level and target. 11.3 Illustrative bull scenario Educational example only. Not a trading recommendation. Session opens. Candles turn gray — accumulation detected between two levels. After several bars, price dips below the accumulation low on a high-volume candle that closes near its open. The candle colors purple. A dot appears below it. Two bars later, a gap forms above — price has displaced back through the range. A green triangle fires below the entry bar. The distribution box extends to the right showing the 1:2 target. A support level line sits just below the sweep low confirming the structural context. 11.4 Illustrative bear scenario Educational example only. Not a trading recommendation. Session opens in London. Candles turn gray — a tight consolidation forms. Price spikes above the range high on elevated volume. The spike candle has a large wick and closes back below the high — body is less than 40% of the bar range. The candle turns purple. A dot appears above it. A FVG opens below. A red triangle fires above the entry bar. The distribution box drops from entry toward the calculated take profit. A resistance level hovers just above the sweep high. 11.5 Using the absorption filter With the filter on, the signal only fires when the manipulation sweep bar shows mechanical absorption. This reduces total signals but increases the average quality of what does fire. The dashboard shows abs / setups — how many confirmed absorptions versus total AMD patterns detected. A ratio of 1/5 is normal. The filter is stricter by design. With the filter off, every valid AMD + FVG pattern produces a signal regardless of volume. Use this to explore how many setups form on your instrument before deciding whether the absorption requirement is helping or filtering too aggressively. Regardless of filter setting, the candle coloring always shows the full AMD cycle. A setup without a triangle is still visible through the gray accumulation, the colored manipulation phase, and the FVG box. Traders who want to act on every AMD cycle can use the visual coloring as their cue and treat the triangle as an additional confirmation rather than a requirement. 11.6 Timeframe guide - 1m–3m: scalp setups. Absorption filter on. Tight preset (futures or commodities). - 5m–15m: intraday setups. All presets apply. Standard settings. - 30m–1h: swing context. Manipulation window and accumulation lookback can be increased. - 4h and above: macro context only. Signals will be infrequent. Use to identify major cycle pivots. 12. Tips The manipulation search window is your primary tuning lever. If the indicator misses setups you can see visually, increase the manipulation window. If it produces setups that do not look like genuine sweeps, tighten the range width or increase the volume multiplier. The absorption filter is directional. A bear sweep that qualifies will have a large upper wick and a small body. A bull sweep that qualifies will have a large lower wick and a small body. If you see a purple dot on a bar with a small wick, the volume threshold is too low — raise the min volume multiplier. Price levels are structural context, not signals. Use them to assess whether a distribution target has a logical resting point — a prior support or resistance level aligned with the take profit zone strengthens the setup. Multiple AMD cycles can form within a single session. The state resets after each completed cycle. If an accumulation forms but no sweep follows within the search window, the state clears automatically and the indicator waits for the next consolidation. Candle coloring stops at the session close. If candles outside the session boundaries show unexpected colors, check that your session times are correctly set for your timezone. 13.

Power of Three (AMD) Map [AGPro Series]Power of Three (AMD) Map 🔹 Overview The Power of Three (AMD) Map visualizes ICT's foundational session-framework concept directly on the chart: Accumulation → Manipulation → Distribution. For each daily or weekly session, the indicator automatically segments the AMD phases, detects classic liquidity sweeps during Manipulation, and projects a distribution target based on the accumulation range. Built for ICT / Smart Money Concept traders who want session-aware bias, transparent sweep validation, and forward-looking expansion projections. 🔹 Unique Edge vs Other PO3 Scripts Most PO3 indicators on TradingView simply highlight time-based session blocks and leave liquidity detection to the user's eye. This implementation distinguishes itself through: • Phase detection by bar count, not timestamps — ensuring consistent AMD ratios across every timeframe from 15m to 1D • Adaptive sweep confirmation — accepts both same-bar ICT-strict sweeps (wick + close-back) and 2-bar delayed confirmations, significantly improving setup capture without sacrificing quality • Dual-reference sweep logic — checks both the previous session's accumulation range AND the current session's accumulation range, capturing sweeps that single-reference scripts miss • TF-adaptive target multiplier — Daily sessions project targets at 0.7× accumulation range, Weekly sessions at 0.3×, aligned with realistic crypto volatility profiles • Transparent dual-KPI panel — separates Sweep Rate (how often valid sweeps occur) from Target Hit rate (how often the projected expansion completes), giving traders honest, verifiable performance metrics 🔹 Methodology Each session is divided into three bar-count-based windows: • Accumulation (first 33% of expected session bars) — tracks the initial range • Manipulation (next 17%) — scans for liquidity sweeps against the previous session's accumulation high/low and the current accumulation extremes • Distribution (remaining 50%) — the expected expansion phase, measured against the projected target A valid Manipulation sweep requires a wick penetrating a reference level followed by a body close back inside (classic ICT definition). In Adaptive mode, sweeps can also confirm within a 2-bar window. The detected sweep direction determines the PO3 bias: sweeping a high produces a Bearish PO3 (expected downside distribution); sweeping a low produces a Bullish PO3 (expected upside distribution). A target price is projected from either the accumulation midpoint (default, symmetrical expansion) or the sweep extreme, multiplied by the configured ratio. 🔹 Signals & Alerts Four built-in alert conditions: • Manipulation phase started — Accumulation complete • Bullish sweep detected — Low was swept, Bullish PO3 forming • Bearish sweep detected — High was swept, Bearish PO3 forming • Distribution target hit — Expansion reached projected level 🔹 Key Inputs • Session Scope — Auto (TF-adaptive), Daily, or Weekly • Accumulation / Manipulation window percentages (defaults 33% / 17%) • Sweep Reference — Previous Accumulation, Current Accumulation, or Both (default) • Sweep Confirmation — Strict (same-bar) or Adaptive (up to 2-bar, default) • Target Projection Method — From Accumulation Mid (default) or From Sweep Extreme • Multiplier Mode — Auto TF-adaptive (default) or Manual • Historical sessions to display (default 5, max 10) • Full visual customization — colors, label position, font size, panel position & theme • Premium visuals — sweep triangle markers, target price label (toggleable) 🔹 How to Use 1. Add the indicator to any crypto or forex chart with timeframe 1H–4H (for Daily PO3) or 1D (for Weekly PO3) 2. Watch the Accumulation range form at the start of each session — this defines the sweep reference level 3. When Manipulation phase begins, monitor for a wick that sweeps the previous accumulation high/low with a body close-back (triangle marker appears on confirmed sweeps) 4. Once a sweep confirms, the panel displays the directional bias (Bullish/Bearish PO3), the projected target price, and a dashed target zone extends toward the session end 5. Use the Sweep Rate and Target Hit percentages in the panel to contextualize reliability on your chosen symbol and timeframe 6. The panel's Completion counter grows as new sessions close — give the script enough historical bars to build meaningful statistics 🔹 Limitations & Transparency • AMD phase windows are bar-count approximations — real sessions do not cleanly segment into 33/17/50 splits. The indicator is a structural guide, not a timing oracle • Sweep detection requires the chart timeframe to contain at least 4 bars per session. On 1D charts, use Weekly mode; on 1W charts, the indicator will display a warning • The projected target is a statistical expectation based on the accumulation range. The Target Hit rate (shown in panel) reflects the historical frequency of this expectation being met on the current symbol/timeframe — typically 40–55% on crypto majors • Sweep Rate shows the percentage of completed sessions where a valid Manipulation sweep was detected; sessions without sweeps produce no bias and no target • Historical statistics accumulate from the first bar available on the chart and reset only when the chart reloads 🔹 Risk Disclosure This indicator is a visualization and analysis tool. It does not generate trade signals, predict price movement, or guarantee outcomes. Past Sweep Rate and Target Hit statistics reflect historical behavior only and do not imply future performance. All trading decisions and risk management remain the responsibility of the user.

AMD 5 MINOverview This indicator is a specialized toolkit designed for XAUUSD (Gold) traders who utilize Smart Money Concepts (SMC). It automates the detection of high-probability reversal zones by identifying the "Judas Swing" (Manipulation) followed by a Change in State of Delivery (CISD). Unlike standard "support/resistance" indicators, this script focuses on Liquidity Sweeps—where institutional orders are often triggered—before projecting Fibonacci-based Standard Deviation targets. Key Features Automatic Liquidity Sweep Detection: Marks "Manipulation" (M) when price impulsively breaches a previous Swing High or Low. CISD (Change in State of Delivery): Confirms the shift in market character when price closes back within the previous range, signaling a potential reversal. Dynamic Value Zones: Automatically plots Fair Value Gaps (FVG) and Order Blocks (OB) that form during the displacement move. Rejection Candle Filter: Only triggers signals when price "wicks" into a zone and closes outside of it with a specific body-to-wick ratio, reducing "knife-catching" entries. Institutional Targets: Uses Standard Deviation projections (-1, -2, -2.5) based on the manipulation range, providing objective Take Profit levels. How to Trade This Script Wait for the Sweep: Look for the yellow "M" label. This indicates price has taken out a swing level (Liquidity). The Shift: Wait for a CISD (Blue/Red zones). This proves the "Smart Money" is active in the opposite direction. The Entry: Enter on a LONG/SHORT signal. This occurs when price retraces into the FVG/OB and shows "Rejection" (a long wick). The Exit: Scale out at the Standard Deviation targets projected on the right side of the chart. ⚠️ Brutal Disclaimer (The Advisor's Note) Gold is a beast. This script is a tool, not a "money printer." Avoid "Chop": Do not trade this during low-volume Asian sessions. It performs best during London and New York Open. Context is King: Always align these lower-timeframe (1m/5m) signals with the Higher Timeframe (1H/4H) trend. Risk: Always use a manual Stop Loss. XAUUSD can invalidate a "Perfect" OB in seconds during high-impact news (NFP/CPI). Suggested Settings for XAUUSD Swing Length: 10-15 (for 5m timeframe). Rejection Factor: 0.3 (if you want more "strict" wicks) or 0.5 (for more frequent signals). Min FVG Size: 0.5 - 1.0 points (to filter out tiny, insignificant gaps).

cd_bias_profile_Cxcd_bias_profile Cx Overview: cd_bias_profile_Cx is an all-in-one professional analysis terminal designed to determine market direction (Bias) based on institutional trading strategies (SMC & ICT). This tool integrates multi-timeframe (MTF) data, institutional liquidity sweeps, SMT divergences, and candle closure confirmations into a single cohesive structure, providing traders with a comprehensive map of institutional Order Flow. 🚀 Advanced Hierarchical Profile Architecture The indicator visualizes the market through a three-layered hierarchy (Major, Middle, Plot), allowing you to see exactly which higher-tier structure the current price action is serving. • Smart Timeframe (Auto-TF) Logic: In "Auto" mode, the system automatically selects the most logical hierarchy based on your chart interval using the following sequence: . o Example Scenario: If your chart is set to 5-Minute (5m):  Major (Macro Structure): H4 (The outermost container candle)  Middle (Intermediate Structure): H1 (Mid-scale candle)  Plot (Local Structure): 15m (The smallest nested high-timeframe candle) • Nested Candle Design: Each high-timeframe candle is rendered as transparent boxes with specific body colors, encapsulating the lower-tier price action (OHLC) within it. • Cyclical Refresh: Profile drawings reset automatically at the opening of every new Major timeframe candle. This ensures the analysis remains focused on the freshest institutional cycle. 🧠 Bias Algorithm & Decision Mechanism To eliminate subjective interpretation, the algorithm operates on a purely mathematical logic based solely on Candle Closures (Close). It generates three distinct outcomes: 1. Reversal: o Condition 1: A liquidity Sweep must occur at the HTF level. o Condition 2 (SMT Confirmation): If no sweep is detected on the primary pair, the algorithm automatically scans correlated assets (e.g., checking GBPUSD or DXY for an EURUSD trade). An SMT Divergence in a correlated asset is accepted as institutional manipulation confirmation. o Final Trigger: Once a CISD (Change in State of Delivery) occurs on the Lower Timeframe (LTF), the "Reversal" bias is confirmed. 2. Continuation: When a high-timeframe candle closes convincingly above/below the previous candle's High or Low, the algorithm reports that the current trend maintains its strength. 3. Indeterminate: In "non-delivery" zones where the market neither sweeps liquidity nor creates a structural break, the algorithm remains neutral to prevent overtrading. 🚨 Alert Center The alert system is designed for high-confluence setups, ensuring you never miss a structural shift: • Flexible TF Selection: You can manually toggle which of the 5 tracked timeframes (1M, 1W, 1D, etc.) should trigger notifications based on your strategy. • "Any of Them" Function: When enabled, an instant notification is sent the moment a "Reversal" or "Continuation" signal forms on any of your selected timeframes. • Directional Filtering: You can filter alerts to receive only "Bullish" or only "Bearish" setups, allowing you to align with your primary macro bias. ⚙️ Pro Tips for Usage • Invalidation Lines: The dashed lines on the chart indicate the exact price level where the institutional bias is "invalidated." These serve as professional-grade stop-loss levels. • B-ADJ Support: For Futures traders, back-adjustment settings are optimized within the code for seamless data transition. • Manual Mode: If you wish to use custom timeframes not found in the standard sequence (e.g., 2-hour or 3-day charts), you can define them via the "Manuel" settings toggle. • High-probability trade setups can be expected when there is multi-timeframe alignment in the same direction. • Strategic Use Cases: The indicator is optimized for trading Distribution Phases within advanced frameworks. Whether you are looking for the C3 candle in the Universal Model or the Distribution (D) phase in an AMD (Power of 3) setup, this tool provides the necessary structural confirmation. • User Discretion: Please note that this is a directional bias tool. While it identifies which direction is supported by multi-timeframe alignment, the final execution and entry management on lower timeframes are the user's responsibility. • Always remember to seek additional confluence before executing a trade. Chart Visual Profile Visual Example (SMT Usage) : On the chart, while the 10:00 H1 candle on GBPUSD sweeps its previous candle's liquidity, its correlated pair EURUSD does not show a sweep. If the "Use SMT for Bias" option is enabled, this SMT divergence with the correlated pair is accepted as a valid HTF Sweep. Upon the new candle open, once a 5m CISD confirmation occurs on EURUSD, the Bias Table will display "Bearish" for the H1/5m row.

cd_Quarterly_cycles_SSMT_TPD_CxGeneral This indicator is designed in line with the Quarterly Theory to display each cycle on the chart, either boxed and/or in candlestick form. Additionally, it performs inter-cycle divergence analysis ( SSMT ) with the correlated symbol, Terminus Price Divergence ( TPD ), Precision Swing Point ( PSP ) analysis, and potential Power of Three ( PO3 ) analysis. Special thanks to @HandlesHandled for his great indicator, which I used while preparing the cycles content. Details & Usage: Optional cycles available: Weekly, Daily, 90m, and Micro cycles. Displaying/removing cycles can be controlled from the menu (cycles / candles / labels). All selected cycles can be shown, or you can limit the number of displayed cycles (min: 2, max: 4). The summary table can be toggled on/off and repositioned. What’s in the summary table? • Below the header, the correlated symbol used in the analysis is displayed (e.g., SSMT → US500). • If available, live and previous bar results of the SSMT analysis are shown. • Under the PSP & TPD section, results are displayed when conditions are met. • Under Alerts, the real-time status of conditions defined in the menu is shown. • Under Potential AMD, possible PO3 analysis results are displayed. Analysis & Symbol Selection: To run analyses, a correlated symbol must first be defined with the main symbol. Default pairs are preloaded (see below), but users should adjust them according to their exchange and instruments. If no correlated pair is defined, cycles are displayed only as boxes/candles. Once defined pairs are opened on the chart, analyses load automatically. Pairs listed on the same row in the menu are automatically linked, so no need to re-enter them across rows. SSMT Analysis: Based on the chart’s timeframe, divergences are searched across Weekly, Daily, 90m, and Micro cycles. The code will not produce results for smaller cycles than the current timeframe. (Example: On H1, Micro cycles will not be displayed.) Results are obtained by comparing the highs and lows of consecutive cycles in the same period. If one pair makes a new high/low while the other does not, this divergence is added to SSMT results. The difference from classic SMT is that cycles are used instead of bars. PSP & TPD Analysis: A correlated symbol must be defined. For PSP, timeframe options are added to the menu. Users toggle timeframes on/off by checking/unchecking boxes. In selected timeframes, PSP & TPD analysis is performed. • PSP: If candlesticks differ in color (bullish/bearish) between symbols and the bar is at a high/low of the timeframe (and higher/lower than the bars before/after it), it is identified as a PSP. Divergences between pairs are interpreted as potential reversal signals. • TPD: Once a PSP occurs, the closing price of the previous bar and the opening price of the next bar are compared. If one symbol shows continuation while the other does not, it is marked as a divergence. Example: Let’s assume Pair 1 and Pair 2 are selected in the menu with the H4 timeframe, and our cycle is Weekly (Box). For Pair 1, the H4 candle at the Weekly high level: • Is positioned at the Weekly high, • Its high is above both the previous and the next candle, • It closed bearish (open > close). For Pair 2, the same H4 candle closed bullish (close > open). → PSP conditions are met. For TPD, we now check the candles before and after this PSP (H4) candle on both pairs. Comparing the previous candle’s close with the next candle’s open, we see that: • In Pair 1, the next open is lower than the previous close, • In Pair 2, the next open is higher than the previous close. Pair 1 → close > open Pair 2 → close < open Since they are not aligned in the same direction, this is interpreted as a divergence — a potential reversal signal. While TPD results are displayed in the summary table, whenever the conditions are met in the selected timeframes, the signals are also plotted directly on the chart. (🚦, X) • Higher timeframe TPD example: • Current timeframe TPD example: Alerts: The indicator can be conditioned based on aligned timeframes defined within the concept. Example (assuming random active rows in the screenshot): • Weekly Bullish SSMT → Tf2 (menu-selected) Bullish TPD → Daily Bullish SSMT. Selecting “none” in the menu means that condition is not required. When an alert is triggered, it will be displayed in the corresponding row of the table. • Example with only condition 3 enabled: Potential PO3 Analysis: According to Quarterly Theory, price moves in cycles, and the same structures are assumed to continue in smaller timeframes. From classical PO3 knowledge: before the main move, price first manipulates in the opposite direction to trap buyers/sellers, then makes its true move. The cyclical sequence is: (A)ccumulation → (M)anipulation → (D)istribution → (R)eversal / Continuation. Within cycle candles, the first letter of each phase is displayed. So how does the analysis work? If the active cycle is in (M)anipulation or (D)istribution phase, and it sweeps the previous cycle’s high or low but then pulls back inside, this is flagged in the summary table as a possible PO3 signal. In other words, it reflects the alignment of theoretical sequence with real-time price action. Confluence with SSMT and TPD conditions further strengthens the expectation. Final Note: No single marking or alert carries meaning on its own — it must always be evaluated in the context of your concept knowledge. Instead of trading purely on expectations, align bias + trend + entry confirmations to improve your success rate. Feedback and suggestions are welcome. Happy trading!

B A N K $ - HTF Candle Boxes (Power of 3)This indicator allows you to visualise the HTF candles on the LTF's, this is useful for using the Power of 3 / Accumulation, Manipulation & Distribution concepts. By default, the HTF interval is set to 1h, this means that an outline will be created around the LTF candles that are within that 1h window. (i.e from 13:00-14:00 etc). Features HTF Interval Selector - this allows the user to customise which HTF interval to use Candle Boxes - this outlines the full outer perimeter of the relevant candles Include Body - this highlights the distance between the candle Open & Close Show MidLine Additional Settings Hide Side Lines - this will only draw the Top & Bottom lines Extend Lines to Current Candle - most recent Top & Bottom lines will extend to current price Draw Lines from Exact Candle - this makes the most recent candle lines cleaner I personally use this indicator to outline the most recent 3 1h candles to make it easier to identify sweeps & reversals however there is additional functionality to allow the user to customise the indicator to their preference.

Grover Llorens Activator Strategy AnalysisThe Grover Llorens Activator is a trailing stop indicator deeply inspired by the parabolic SAR indicator, and aim to provide early exit points and reversal detection. The indicator was posted not so long ago, you can find it here : Today a strategy using the indicator is proposed, and its profitability is analyzed on 3 different markets with the main time frame being 1 hour, remember that lower time frames involve lower absolute price changes, therefore we are way more affected by the spread, and we can require a larger position sizing depending on our investment target, trading higher time-frames is always a good practice and this is why 1 hour is selected. Based on the result we might make various conclusions regarding the indicator accuracy and might have ideas on future improvements of the indicator. I'am not great when it comes to strategy design, i still hope to share correct and useful information in this post, let me know your thoughts on the post format and if i should make more of these. Setup And Rules The analysis is solely based on the indicator signals, money management isn't taken into account, this allow us to have an idea on the indicator robustness and resilience, particularly on extremely volatile markets and ones exhibiting a chaotic structure, altho it is normally good practice to close any position before a market closure in order to avoid any potential major gaps. The settings used are 480 for length and 14 for mult, this create relatively mid term signals that are suited for a trend indicator such as the Grover Llorens Activator, unfortunately we can't infer the indicator optimal settings, thats how it is with any technical indicator anyway. Here are the rules of our strategy : long : closing price cross over the indicator short : closing price cross under the indicator We use constant position sizing, once a signal is triggered all the previous positions are closed. Description Of The Statistics Used Various statistics are presented in this post, here is a brief description of the main ones : Percent Profitability (higher = better): Percentage of winning trades, that is : winning trades/total number of trades × 100 Maximum Drawdown (lower = better) : The highest difference between a peak and a valley in the balance, that is : peak - valley , in percentage : (peak - valley)/peak × 100 Profit Factor (higher = better) : Gross profit divided by gross loss, values under 1 represent gross losses superior to the gross profits Remember that more volatility = more risk, since higher absolute price changes can logically cause larger losses. EURUSD The first market analyzed is the Forex market with the EURUSD major pair with a position sizing of 1000 units (1 micro lot). Since October EURUSD is not showing any particular strong trend but posses a discrete rising motion, fortunately cycles can be observed. The equity was rising until two trades appeared causing a decline in the equity. Before October a bearish market could be observed. We can see that the equity is rising, the trend still posses various retracements that affect our indicator, however we can see that the indicator totally nail the end of the trend, thats the power of converging toward the price. In short : $ 86.63 net profit 340 closed trades 37.65 % profitable (thats a lot of loosing trades) 1.19 profit factor $ 76.67 max drawdown Applying a spread would create negative results (in general the average spread is used), not a great start... BTCUSD The cryptocurrency market is relatively more volatile than others, which also mean potentially higher returns, we test the indicator using certainly the most traded cryptocurrency, BTCUSD. We will use a position sizing of 1 unit. In the case of BTCUSD the strategy balance is relatively stationary around the initial capital, with of course high dispersion. from september to december the market is bearish with various ranging periods, no apparent cycles can be observed, except maybe in the ranging period of october, this ranging period is followed by a non linear trend (relatively parabolic) that the indicator failed to capture in its integrity (this is a recurrent problem and it is starting to piss me off xD). In short : $ 2010.64 net profit (aka how i bet the crypto market) 395 closed trades 38.23 % profitable 1.036 profit factor $ 5738.01 max drawdown (aka how i lost to the crypto market) AMD AMD stand for Advanced Micro Devices and is a company focused on the development of computer technology, i love the microprocessor market and i really like AMD who start this year in a pretty great way with a net bullish trend. The performance of the indicator on AMD is decent (at last !) with the equity producing many new higher highs. The indicator performance still drop in the middle end of 2019 with a large equity drawdown of 17$ caused by the gap of august 8. Unfortunately AMD, like lot of well behaving stocks can only tells us that the indicator has good performances on heavily trending markets with no excess of noise or chaotic structures. In short : $ 17.86 net profit (Enough for a consistent lunch) 295 closed trades 36.27 % profitable 1.414 profit factor $ 10.37 max drawdown. Conclusion A strategy using the recently proposed Grover Llorens activator has been presented. We can easily conclude that the indicator can't possibly generate long term returns under chaotic and volatile markets, and could even produce unnecessary trades in trending markets without much parasitic fluctuations such as noise and retracements (think about a simple linear trend) since the indicator converge toward the price and would therefore automatically cross over/under the trend, thus guaranteeing a false signal. However we have seen its ability to provide accurate early reversal detection shine from time to time, thus over performing lagging indicators in this aspect, however the duration of price fluctuations isn't fixed at a certain period, the rate of convergence should be way faster during volatile fluctuations, of moderate speed during more cyclic fluctuations, and really slow with apparent long term trends, this could be achieved by making the indicator adaptive, but it won't really make it necessarily perform better. That said i still believe that converging trend indicators are really interesting and aim to capture the non lasting behavior of price fluctuations, they shouldn't receive so much hate (think about the poor p-sar). Thanks for reading !
