Trading Setup Overview: “Power of Three” (PO3) on the 10 AM 4-Hour Candle

The Power of Three concept breaks down price action into three phases:

Accumulation phase: Price consolidates.
Manipulation phase: Price sweeps liquidity, creating wicks.
Distribution phase: Price pushes in the original direction.

Each 4-hour candle includes a wick representing liquidity sweeps (manipulation). The goal is to enter near the liquidity sweep to capture the full distribution move.

Timeframes and Key Candles

Primary focus: 10 AM 4-hour candle for the main setup.
Use the 2 AM and 6 AM 4-hour candles to determine intraday bias for the 10 AM candle.
Drop down to the 5-minute timeframe for entry execution and liquidity pool identification.

Step-by-Step Framework for the 10 AM PO3 Setup

Determine Intraday Bias
- If the 6 AM 4-hour candle closes above the high of the 2 AM 4-hour candle → bias is bullish for the 10 AM candle.
- If the 6 AM candle fails to close above the 2 AM candle high (even if it wicks above but closes below) → bias is bearish.
- If price sweeps both the high and low of the 2 AM candle → no clear bias → skip trading.
- If price does not sweep either high or low → no trade.
Identify Liquidity Pools on 5-Minute Chart
- Mark highs or lows engineered before the 10 AM candle open (to the left of the open).
- Look for a liquidity sweep of these levels on the 5-minute timeframe.
Entry Signal
- After liquidity sweep, wait for:
  - Change in state of delivery (CSD) or
  - Inversion (price closing above/below the swept liquidity level).
- Enter on retest or directly after confirmation of CSD/inversion.
Risk Management
- Place stop loss just below (for longs) or above (for shorts) the liquidity sweep low/high.
- Move stop to break-even at 1:1 or 1:1.5 risk-reward.
- Take partial profit (~30%) at 1:1.5.
- Let remaining position run to 1:2 or 1:2.5 risk-reward targets.
- Use standard deviation projections as optional take-profit guides (helpful but not always accurate).

Additional Notes on Execution

The setup is highly specific to the 10 AM 4-hour candle.
Timing differs for futures (10 AM) and forex pairs (9 AM).
The strategy is designed to be repeatable and consistent when all conditions align.
Emphasis on not trading every candle, only when the setup and bias are confirmed.
Examples on NQ futures demonstrate bullish biases and entries based on liquidity sweeps and CSD/inversion on the 5-minute chart.
The setup applies to both bullish and bearish scenarios depending on intraday bias.

Performance Metrics & Targets

Default risk-reward ratio targeted: 1:2.
Partial profits taken at 1:1.5.
Stop loss placement below/above liquidity sweeps.
Use of standard deviation for target projections as a supplementary tool.

Summary

This video teaches a highly specific intraday trading setup called the “Power of Three” on the 10 AM 4-hour candle, primarily for futures like Gold and Nasdaq (NQ). The method combines multi-timeframe analysis (2 AM, 6 AM, and 10 AM 4-hour candles) to determine intraday bias, followed by liquidity pool identification and entry execution on the 5-minute chart. Risk management is emphasized with clear stop loss, partial profit taking, and target setting guidelines. The approach is designed for consistent, repeatable trades when all conditions align, with examples on NQ futures illustrating the setup in action.
