ICT PO3

OHLC + OLHC
The Power Three (Po3) is a concept introduced by Michael J.
Huddleston.This concept revolves around analyzing the daily open,
high, low, and close prices on a chart. Its main objective is to
capitalize on the majority of the daily price range by purchasing
stocks near the opening price on days when the market is trending
upwards and selling them before the market closes. When adopting
a bullish stance, it is ideal to buy stocks either at or below the
opening price. This strategy allows for an expansion of the price
range, resulting in a higher closing price.
The Power Three concept can be broken down into three distinct
phases: accumulation, manipulation, and distribution. These
phases can be applied to daily and weekly price ranges, as well as
morning and afternoon trading sessions. By understanding and
utilizing these phases, traders can better identify optimal entry and
exit points in the market, increasing their chances of success.

The PO3 (Power Of Three)

The PO3 consists of three phases being:


A - Accumulation
M- Manipulation
D - Distribution
We can see it in a form of a bullish candle open, low, high, close
Accumulation being when we form the low under the open.
Manipulation being when we form the low under the open.
Distibution being when we form the high.
We can also see it as just a consolidation being the accumlation, and then manipulation of the lows, and then distribution phase when we
go back above range.

Why?

The reason for the accumulation phase is for the market makers to enter as many orders as the would like.
Since the books dont offer enough liquidty for them at all times. unlike us retail traders they trade with enormous amounts, so in order for
them to be able to enter a trade, they have to either stop people out, or wait longer.
This is why we have the accumulation phase, if the market makers are looking to long; they will accumulate in an area where retail traders
might think is bearish, so they will go short, and the market makers will buy longs in exchange.
Then comes the manipulation phase, here the market makers are going to enter the last bit of their order before taking the price to their
target, they will stop all the retaul traders out, flooding the market with market orders, which the market makers will buy out entirely, and
directly take us to the opposite direction.
