Usage
By breaking 24hrs in quarters, starting with an Asian range of 18:00 NY time you can visualise the principles of Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution and Rebalance. Know as AMD or PO3 (Power of Three), the principle is that the Manipulation phase will break above or below the Accumulation, before moving in an apposing direction and then rebalancing. This only works when there is a higher timeframe PD array or liquidity to support an apposing move.
Further to the daily quarters, each one can then be broken down again into 90min cycles. Again, each represents AMD, allowing the user an opportunity to watch for reversals during the 90min manipulation phase.
Note: Ensure the Asian Cycle always begins at 18:00 NY time.
The example shows that the 90min cycle occurs, followed by an apposing move away in price action
Here is the Daily cycle, highlighting the Manipulation phase.
Please can you add true session open price level to it ? And kindly add an option to turn ON/OFF history. It kind of makes the chart messy. Thanks.

@SweetKwaku, As I mentioned below, I use another indicator for adding session opening lines. If I get a chance, I'll see if I can figure a look back period option.

@SweetKwaku, the true open of each session is the beginning of the Q2

Great idea! Hoping for horizontal session line. Ex. "Daily M" (Q2) open draws a line across the session range. This helps look for the Judas swing during the manipulation.

@Don-Gato, I use another indicator for that. Takes a bit of juggling, but I get True opens and Asian cycle with it. Enjoy
