Power Of 3 Made ๐—˜๐—”๐—ฆ๐—ฌ

One ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฒ concept that could change your trading forever..

A Thread๐Ÿงต Image
๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ฃ๐—ผ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐Ÿฏ (๐—ฃ๐—ข๐Ÿฏ)

"Power of 3" involves understanding ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฐ๐˜‚๐—บ๐˜‚๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป, ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ฝ๐˜‚๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป, and ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฏ๐˜‚๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป phases.

To grasp this concept, you must first learn candlestick anatomy, as it is crucial for interpreting price. Image
Every candle is a formation of data points, using open, low, high & close.

The candle will either be OHLC or OLHC.

๐—ข๐—Ÿ๐—›๐—– is a bullish candle formation.

๐—ข๐—›๐—Ÿ๐—– is a bearish candle formation.

Next, letโ€™s talk about the 3 phases of PO3.
๐Ÿญ. ๐—”๐—ฐ๐—ฐ๐˜‚๐—บ๐˜‚๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป

โ€œPower of 3" applies to all time frames due to the fractal nature of price.

For a bullish daily candle, smart money builds long positions around the opening price, slightly above and below it. Image
๐Ÿฎ. ๐— ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ฝ๐˜‚๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป

To anticipate a bullish expansion, look for manipulation lower to occur prior to the distribution.

This involves a sharp move opposite of the intended direction, inducing shorts into the market and trapping early longs, before sending price higher. Image
๐Ÿฏ. ๐——๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฏ๐˜‚๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป

This is where smart money begins to offload their positions to willing buyers.

This is where you will see the โ€œexpansionโ€ in price. Image
๐—˜๐—ป๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—”๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€

With PO3, you are looking to observe manipulation and position yourself to capitalize on the distribution.

This way you are effectively buying low & selling high, just like smart money. Image
๐—ง๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฒ

Time is crucial in price movement.

For any candle, the "power of 3" theory applies to three phases: the beginning, middle, and end.

Accumulation occurs at the start, distribution happens lastly and manipulation occurs in between. Image

OHLC stands for Open-High-Low-Close. This is the anatomy of a BEARISH candle. A bearish candle opens, makes the high of the candle, expands making the low of the candle and then closes. Image

Knowing When ๐—ก๐—ข๐—ง To Trade Will Make You Profitable

We all know when to trade, but knowing when ๐—ก๐—ข๐—ง to trade can be the difference between profitable and unprofitable.

Trading isnโ€™t just about numbers - it's a mental battlefield.

The most successful traders are also the most mentally disciplined.

If you're not in the right headspace, donโ€™t push it. Image

Sometimes, market conditions are simply not in your favor.

If you zoom out and see sloppy or consolidating conditions, it's often best to just take a step back and protect your capital.

Your capital should be treated like your baby. Image

SMT is the most ๐—ฃ๐—ข๐—ช๐—˜๐—ฅ๐—™๐—จ๐—Ÿ trading confluence you can use.

Hereโ€™s exactly how you can use SMT to ๐˜€๐˜‚๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ด๐—ฒ your trading results.

A Thread ๐Ÿงต Image
SMT is defined as a โ€œcrack in correlation.โ€ This is the market showing its hand.

The simplest way to spot a crack in correlation is by identifying a failure swing between correlated assets.

The market only turns in 2 ways: breaker swings or failure swings. Image
SMT can be utilized in many ways:

Confirming stop hunts & trends

Confirming reversals

Identifying relative strength/weakness

๐—ฅ๐—˜๐— ๐—˜๐— ๐—•๐—˜๐—ฅ.. we always want to be longing the strongest of the two, and shorting the weakest of the two. This is relative strength/weakness. Image

This model can be an absolute ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜† ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ when used correctly. I personally trade unicorns on ES & NQ.

The unicorn model consists of 3 main components:

Time is always the most important. It will always be time first, then price.

We want to be utilizing unicorns within ICTโ€™s killzones, preferably at open times. I personally use 9:30AM Equities Open & trade ES/NQ. Image

PD Arrays are institutional reference points that signal a potential shift in buying & selling activity.

They are identified as discount arrays when price is below equilibrium and premium arrays when price is above equilibrium. Image

A form of smart money order mitigation. This is what creates what is known to many as โ€œsupportโ€ & โ€œresistance.โ€ This is a โ€œfailure swing.โ€

A mitigation block occurs when there is a high, a low, and a higher high. (Inverse for bearish) Image
