HTF POWER 3
ICT Power of 3 · M1 Precision · H4 Intelligence
Auto-detect Accumulation → Manipulation → Distribution on your 1-minute chart
WHAT IT DOES
HTF Power 3 maps the complete ICT Power of 3 (AMD) framework onto your M1 chart using the H4 candle as the higher-timeframe anchor. Each phase is detected automatically — accumulation zone locked in via ATR, manipulation flagged the moment the sweep occurs, and distribution confirmed at CISD. All three session zones are drawn with colour-coded highlighted rectangles spanning the full H4 high-to-low range, so you always know exactly which phase you are in.
THREE-PHASE DETECTION
Phase 1 ACCUMULATION
Phase 2 MANIPULATION
Phase 3 DISTRIBUTION
M1 bars consolidate tightly after H4 open. Gold zone auto-detected via ATR sliding window.
sweeps accumulation boundary, setting the H4 session extreme and SL level.
Price CISD bar triggers Entry, SL and TP lines. Green zone extends to H4 candle close.
KEY FEATURES

▸ Manipulation orange zone paints instantly on the sweep bar — no waiting for CISD
▸ Distribution green zone spans CISD bar all the way to the H4 candle close
▸ H4 High & Low bounded as trend lines — no infinite horizontal clutter across the chart
▸ Live H4 candle replica drawn to the right of price, updates bar by bar with OHLC labels

HOW TO TRADE IT
1 Wait for a new H4 candle to open — the dashed vertical line marks the exact open time.
2 Watch the gold Accumulation zone form across the first M1 bars after open.
3 Price sweeps the range — the orange Manipulation zone lights up immediately on the sweep bar.
4 CISD fires: M1 close above prior M1 high (bull) or below prior M1 low (bear).
5 Enter at the CISD close. SL = H4 manipulation extreme. TP = your configured R multiple.
