Weekly PO3

With the help of MMXM, OLHC/OHLC, IRL / ERL and STDV


concepts we can have a good Roadmap for the week.

What is PO3?
It says advertised Power of Three and describes its components
in development every single candle

Accumulation

Manipulation = PO3
Distribution
The end of a phase automatically initiates the next phase, say
if the accumulation ends the manipulation begins when this
ends distribution begins, that's important to know because one
phase projects the other with the help ofSTDV(Standard
Deviation).

If you are not yet familiar with the concepts of STDV in


connection with PO3 i recommend you to watch the following
video: Core Standard Deviations + PO3 | ICT Concepts |
DexterLab (youtube.com) from Dexter Lab, because these are
essential parts of my Weekly PO3 analysis.

Weekly Profiling:
The development of PO3 takes place in a variety of ways and is
a good narrative to find out what the next DOL (Monthly, Weekly
or Daily IRL / ERL) is likely to be.

During weekly profiling we ask ourselves the question:

- Where are we manipulating ?


- Where are we expanding to?

Now let's get to the profiles, how we can anticipate and project
them!
Classic Expansion
Timeframe for identification (applies to each profile):
- 1H
When can I expect it?
- Every day has news except Monday or CPI on Tuesday
Accumulation:
It usually takes place on Monday and lets us project the
manipulation range, we know it ends as soon as we get a MSS
and we begin to see an expansion away from it, now the
Manipulation begins.

Manipulation:
It takes place either on Monday or Tuesday and builds the
High/Low of the week, we usually manipulate into a >4H
Discount/Premium PDA.

With the help of STDV we can see which PDA matches the levels.

The End of manipulation can be anticipated by 3 points.

1 - HTF POI (>4H PDA) reached


2 - SMT with ES/YM
3 - MSS in direction of DOL
Distribution:
It takes place after the manipulation ends and usually extends
from Monday or Tuesday (Depending on which day the
manipulation took place) until Thursday where then usually the
DOL was reached and the Weekly Range is being capped (If
DOL has been reached yet), Friday then puts in the CLOSE of the
Weekly Candle(OHLC /OLHC).

This phase can also be projected with STDV by placing our FIB to
the DEEPEST/HIGHEST recognizable Price Leg before theMSS
occurs.

Its is important here to be flexible with the placement and


recognize whether the FIB levels overlap with Liquidity and not
just somewhere in nowhere, if this is not the case It is also
possible to go in the 4H Timeframe and see if you can spot
order pairing (long wicks in an HTF POI) where we can place
the FIB from low/high of the candle to the open from the candle.

Example with Tuesday Low of the Week:


:

For Bearish examples just invert it.


Midweek Reversal:
How can I expect it?
First news of the week on Wednesday (FOMC)

Accumulation:
It usually happens from Monday to Tuesday and sometimes
also takes place until Wednesday, but it is also possible that it
only takes place on Monday. It's ultimately important to
recognize the phases and be able to project them with STDV.

Manipulation:
Here too it is very important to identify accumulation and its
end to recognize the beginning of the manipulation, in this
Weekly Profile the Manipulation should end on Wednesday with
reaching the>4H Discount/Premium PDA, after that the
distribution will begin.

The end of Manipulation is being indicated by these 3 points:

- HTF POI reached


- SMT with YM/ES
- MSS towards the DOL
Distribution:
It takes place after the manipulation and usually expands from
Wednesday to Thursday, where Thursday the weekly range is
being capped again (insofar as the DOL has been reached)
and then on Friday the Weekly wick will be printed.

Here too we can use the the STDV to project the expansion
again at the last clearly visible price leg and see if it matches
to Liquidity if this is not the case It is also possible to go in the 4H
Timeframe and see if there is order pairing (long wicks in an
HTF POI) where we can place the FIB from low/high of the
candle to the open from the candle.
For Bearish examples just invert it.
Consolidation Reversal:
How can you expect it?
The week before had already expanded significantly and this
week we Re-Balanced into a Discount/Premium Array before it
further expands with the HTF Trend, next week is Non Farm
Payroll or we are in one HTF SBZ of an MMXM.

Accumulation:
The accumulation here usually takes place fromMonday to
Wednesday instead, but can also be 1 day shorter or longer,
during this accumulative phase it usually builds up High
Resistance and Low Resistance Liquidity.

Here again it is very important to distinguish the different


phases from each other to project precise STDV levels.

Manipulation:
The Manipulation in this profile should end on Thursday, Form
high/low of the week and run below the High Resistance
Liquidity into a >4H Discount/Premium PDA before it
impulsively expands towards Low Resistance Liquidity and the
DOL, this principle is also called Inducement, you can find more
information about it Inducement and Protraction from Afyz.

The end of Manipulation is being indicated by these 3 points:


- HTF POI reached
- SMT with YM/ES
- MSS towards the DOL

Distribution:
Again it starts after the Manipulation has ended and goes from
Thursday to Friday, where in the PM Session from Friday then
usually the Close of the OHLC/OLHC concept emerges.

Normally, at the end of the manipulation you also will be able to


detect a clear MMXM from Daily ERL and IRL, what is additional
Narrative the picture.

Here too we can use the the STDV to project the expansion
again at the last clearly visible price leg and see if it matches
to Liquidity if this is not the case It is also possible to go in the 4H
Timeframe and see if there is order pairing (long wicks in an
HTF POI) where we can place the FIB from low/high of the
candle to the open from the candle.
For Bearish examples just invert it.
Search and Destroy:
When can I expect it?
Non Farm Payroll Week, The Week before Non Farm Payroll and
the Week after Non Farm Payroll, we are between 2 HTF PDA's
or we are in the summer months

LOW PROBABILITY I RECOMMEND TO NOT TRADE


IT!

Accumulation:
Since this one is a Low Probability Profile, it can be very difficult
to differentiate between the different phases.
Usually we're building a Range all week that always attacks sell
and buy side Liquidity and reacts strongly on Equilibrium.

Manipulation:
Basically, in this profile we can anticipate every sweep of the
Liquidity from the day before as Manipulation.We can try to
catch a trade on this sweep and hold it until maximum 50% of
the current trading range, but have to consider the high Risk
and Low Probability of it playing out!

The week forms a Broadening Formation.


Distribution:
It is not necessarily detectable where the expansion will take
place, that's why I have already mentioned, to avoid trading for
the week.
Summary:
Weekly profiling is anything but easy and requires a good feel
for the correct placement of the FIB tools and an advanced
knowledge of SMC concepts (MMXM, ERL and IRL, OHLC/OLHC,
PDA Matrix, Dealing and Displacement Ranges,order pairing,
STDV and in general the time and price theory)

Nevertheless, it is one of the most powerful concepts we can


learn from SMC to form a narrative for current price
movements and, in combination with the development of
Daily PO3 (London Protractions) and Session PO3 (Intraday
Profiling) and MMXM, to develop unbeatable precision in
trading If you manage to combine all of these concepts, you
can truly call yourself a time specialist.
