The Power of Three
Sessions & Killzones
Accumulation, manipulation, distribution
Many days follow a three-part rhythm. Accumulation is where price ranges quietly. Manipulation is a fake move the wrong way. Distribution is the real trending move in the true direction.
The fake-out is deliberate
The manipulation phase is designed to look convincing. It runs just far enough to trigger stops and breakout entries on the wrong side before the real move begins.
Patience during accumulation pays off
Recognizing accumulation early, a tight, quiet range, helps a trader wait patiently instead of guessing a direction before the manipulation leg has even shown itself.
