Lecture Notes: Power of Three Market Makers Buy or Sell Model

Key Concepts

  • Power of Three: Accumulation, manipulation, and distribution stages in market trading.
  • Market Maker Buy/Sell Model: A model that incorporates various stages and elements such as power of three, standard deviations, and SMTs (Smart Money Techniques) for trading.
  • Standard Deviations: Used for anticipating phases and stages in trading models, not just for measuring targets.

Market Maker Buy/Sell Model Components

  1. Power of Three:
    • Accumulation to manipulation to distribution.
    • SMT confirmations in transitions.
  2. Standard Deviations:
    • Used to anticipate different trading stages.
    • Key deviations occur at zero, zero and a half, one and one half, two and two and a half, and three and a half to four.
  3. SMT (Smart Money Techniques):
    • Used for confirmation in various stages.
    • Provides verification for changes in accumulation, manipulation, and distribution.

Standard Deviation Zones

  • 0 and 1 Deviation: Smart money reversal area.
  • 0.5 Deviation: Low-risk buy or sell zone.
  • 1 and 1.5 Deviation: Accumulation or distribution level (Silver Bullet Zone).
  • 2 and 2.5 Deviation: Retracement or reversal, and potential for redistribution or reaccumulation.
  • 3.5 and 4 Deviation: Smart money reversal or turtle soup.

Dynamics of Market Movements

  • Smart Money Reversal: Occurs between 0 and 1 deviation, serves as a measure for the next market model phase.
  • Low-Risk Buy or Sell: Occurs at 0.5 deviation, gives an entry point for traders.
  • Accumulation or Distribution Level: Silver Bullet Zone at 1 and 1.5 deviations, where critical decisions are made.

Practical Implementation Example

  • Weekly Candle Analysis:
    • Observing market structures like weekly highs/lows for action points.
    • Leveraging SMT for confirming market direction.
  • Daily and Lower Time Frames:
    • Using 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. openings for market bias confirmation.
    • Identifying low-risk buy/sell and confirming with SMT.

Important Considerations

  • Higher Time Frame Premise: Essential for determining overall market bias.
  • Time Levels: Integrating time and price levels (e.g., weekly, monthly opens) for better decision-making.
  • Deeper Analysis Tools: Using standard deviations and SMTs to anticipate and verify market movements beyond surface-level analysis.

Conclusion

  • The Power of Three and Market Maker Buy/Sell models provide frameworks for understanding complex market dynamics.
  • Effective trading involves anticipating these stages and leveraging tools like SMTs and standard deviations to confirm and execute trades efficiently.
