EFX Power of Three

The Three Phases

About This Indicator

The Power of Three (PO3) or AMD model describes how institutions move price within every session: they accumulate near the open, manipulate retail traders in the wrong direction, then distribute in the true intended direction. The EFX PO3 indicator visualises this narrative in real time.

Key Features

• Session open lines marks the exact price at each session open
• AMD phase boxes shaded regions for accumulation, manipulation, distribution
• True day open (midnight UTC) and session opens displayed
• Manipulation sweep detection flags false breakouts above/below the open
• Distribution target projection based on AMD symmetry
• Works on all timeframes (most useful on 15m–1H)
• Alert on manipulation sweep detection

How to Use

• Wait for the manipulation phase: price sweeps above/below the session open
• Look for a reversal candle after the sweep (engulf, FVG fill, OB reaction)
• Enter in the direction of the likely distribution toward the projected target
• Stop loss above the manipulation wick; target the distribution projection
• Best used at London open (8am UTC) and NY open (1pm UTC)
