Power of Three (AMD) Indicator
The Power of Three indicator is a professional trading tool based on the AMD cycle — Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution — a market model that describes how institutions engineer price movement during a trading session.
What is the AMD Concept?
The market typically moves in three distinct phases:
1. Accumulation
Smart money builds positions in a tight range with low volatility. Price appears stagnant, but liquidity is being prepared.
2. Manipulation
Price is deliberately pushed above or below the accumulation range to trigger stop-losses and trap retail traders. This is where false breakouts and sharp spikes occur.
3. Distribution
After liquidity is taken, price moves aggressively in the true intended direction. This is the phase where high-probability trades exist.
How the Power of Three Indicator Works
This indicator automatically identifies:
- The accumulation range
- The manipulation sweep
- The projected distribution target
It visually maps the full Power of Three cycle on your chart, allowing you to:
- Enter after stop-hunts
- Avoid false breakouts
- Target institutional price moves
The projected price box shows where distribution is statistically likely to reach, giving you clear entry, stop-loss, and take-profit zones.

- Works on any timeframe
