🔍 Overview
The HTF Power 3 (PO3) cBot brings the proven ICT Power of 3 (Accumulation → Manipulation → Distribution) methodology, as taught by TTrades, directly to your cTrader platform. It automatically detects high‑probability setups on the M1 timeframe using the H4 as the anchor, enters trades at the exact moment of expansion (C3 Continuation or CISD Reversal), and manages risk with a sophisticated, fully customisable trade management system.
Whether you trade Forex, Gold, Indices or any other instrument, this bot gives you a systematic, rule‑based edge without the emotional stress of manual trading.
⚡ Key Features
- ✅ True PO3 Detection – Accumulation zone identified via ATR‑validated sliding window; manipulation sweep confirmed with min‑distance filter; expansion detected as either C3 Continuation (protected swing) or CISD Reversal.
- ✅ Visual AMD Zones – See the Accumulation (Yellow), Manipulation (Green) and Distribution (Blue) zones live on chart. Never miss the market structure.
- ✅ Session‑Based Timing – Trade only during specific UTC windows (Forex/Futures) that align with TTrades’ recommended H4 candle opens.
- ✅ Adaptive Stop Loss – Choose between strategy‑based SL (protected swing for C3, manipulation extreme for CISD) or a fixed pip stop.
- ✅ Multiple Trail Modes –
- Off – no trailing
- Breakeven + Trail – lock in profit first, then trail
- Immediate – trail from entry
- Stepped – trail only when price moves at least
Steppips beyond current stop
- ✅ Risk‑First Position Sizing – Risk a fixed percentage of equity per trade (e.g., 1%). Volume automatically calculated based on your risk and stop distance.
- ✅ Daily & Streak Halts – Protect your account with max daily loss % and max consecutive losses.
- ✅ Overnight & Weekend Protection – Automatically closes positions before daily cutoff and on Fridays (customisable hours).
- ✅ Spread & Max Risk Filters – Skip trades when spread is too wide or risk exceeds a safe threshold.
- ✅ Sound Alerts – Get notified on new entries with a customisable sound.
🧠 How It Works
1. Accumulation (Yellow Zone)
- At the start of each H4 candle, the bot collects M1 bars.
- It builds a sliding window of
AccumBars(default 8) and checks that the range is ≤ ATR × multiplier and ≤ max range pips. - Once validated, the accumulation zone is locked and drawn on the chart.
2. Manipulation (Green Zone)
- The bot watches for a sweep beyond the accumulation zone by at least
MinSweepPips. - When detected, it records the extreme price and identifies the protected swing (the last swing high/low inside the accumulation zone) – crucial for C3 continuation setups.
3. Expansion – Entry Trigger
- After manipulation, the bot tracks the next M1 bars (the expansion candle).
- It looks for two patterns:
- C3 Continuation – expansion candle breaks the protected swing and closes in the direction of the sweep.
- CISD Reversal – expansion candle closes beyond the prior M1 extreme and beyond the manipulation extreme.
- The first pattern that triggers leads to an instant market order with pre‑calculated SL and TP.
4. Trade Management
- Breakeven (optional): Move SL to entry + buffer once profit reaches
BreakevenTriggerR. - Trailing Stop: Follow price with a fixed pip distance (or stepped, using
TrailStepPips). - Time Exit: Close position
MinutesBeforeH4Closebefore the H4 candle ends – avoid holding into the next candle.

📊 Visual Experience
The bot draws the entire AMD cycle right on your chart:
- Yellow rectangle – Accumulation zone (full H4 range with a tight sub‑box showing the actual consolidation).
- Green rectangle – Manipulation zone (from the end of accumulation to the CISD bar).
- Blue rectangle – Distribution zone (from entry to H4 close).
- Pink dashed line – Protected swing level (used for C3 SL placement).
- Dotted H4 high/low lines – Bounded by the H4 candle.
- Live H4 candle replica – A copy of the current H4 candle placed to the right of price, with OHLC and phase text.
This visual feedback helps you understand the bot’s logic and trust its decisions.
🛡️ Risk Management & Safety
- Daily loss limit – stops trading when equity drawdown exceeds the defined percentage.
- Consecutive loss limit – halts after a set number of losses, resetting the next day.
- Spread filter – avoids trading during wide spreads (e.g., news events).
- Maximum stop distance – prevents unrealistic risk distances.
- Overnight / weekend close – no exposure outside market hours.
These features make the bot prop‑firm friendly – it adheres to strict risk rules and never holds positions over weekends or beyond the daily cutoff.
