Thread on Power of 3 (PO3) / Accumulation,


Manipulation, Distribution (AMD)

&
PO3 & AMD is the same thing and this can happen on
every timeframe as long as a candlestick chart can be
shown. Me personally, I like applying this to the HTF
such as H1, D, W, M timeframes.

There are 3 parts to PO3-accumulation, manipulation,


and distribution. Accumulation will be a consolidation
period on the chart usually near the opening price.
Manipulation is the juda swing which is the fake move.
Distribution is the expansion period which is the real
move.

The Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm moves from


consolidation periods to expansion periods and in-
between these two periods manipulation will happen
to take out retail buy or sell stops before the real
expansion move.
After an expansion move, there will either be a
retracement in price or a reversal. It can never go from
consolidation straight into a reversal, never
consolidation straight into a retracement, and never
expansion straight into consolidation.
Now for PO3/AMD I will use the OLHC/OHLC on the
daily timeframe as an example because this is the
timeframe I refer to the most. You want to see
consolidation/accumulation occur near the midnight
opening price. Blue boxes =
consolidation/accumulation
If bullish then you're looking for manipulation to
happen under the midnight opening price and if
bearish you're looking for manipulation to happen
above the midnight opening price. When manipulation
occurs, this is where smart money is accumulating
short/long positions.

To confirm the manipulation move you need to see a


market structure shift & price needs to get back and
stay above or below the midnight opening price
depending if it's bullish or bearish. Red boxes =
Manipulation
Once price is back below or above the midnight
opening price you can expect distribution/expansion
move to the next draw on liquidity. Green Boxes =
Distribution/Expansion
Here is an example on $ES earlier this week. It starts
with accumulation at the midnight opening price just
under Monday high. Because we have a LRLR & EQL
at Monday low we could anticipate that Monday low
could potentially be the next draw on liquidity.
More on Draw on Liquidity

Because we are expecting expansion to Monday Low


as DOL we want to see manipulation happen above
the Midnight Opening Price (MOP). Price then takes
out PDH (Monday High) and then you get an M5 mss
+ M15 BPR where shorts are being accumulated and
then price goes back below MOP.
Now that price is back below MOP, we have
confirmation that it's manipulation and now we can
look for distribution/expansion to downside to target
the DOL which was Monday low.
Again, PO3/AMD can occur on any timeframe whether
it's M5, M15, H1, D, W, or on the Monthly chart, it
doesn't matter. What matters is that it all starts from
the opening price of the candlestick chart.

After the opening price look for a high or low to form


above/below the opening price. Once price gets back
below/above the opening price this creates a wick
which represents manipulation (smart money
accumulation of shorts/longs) in price. This is where
liquidity is engineered.
Once price is back below/above the opening price you
can now look for price to expand towards the draw on
liquidity to create the body of the candle. You don't
need to catch the entire move to be profitable. All you
need is a slice of the cake.
