[Thread] The ultimate Time & Price guide |

MACROS + PO3 (everything an ICT trader needs)
Part 2
 I will explain the following things about Macros in
this thread: Meaning, Times, Types, How to use it,
Example + Visual indicator
 What is a Macro? A Macro is a period where the
algo will seek buy side or sell side liquidity, or seek to
rebalance price at a point of interest in between the
open and close of the macro.

What are the times the Macros are active?

(Macro Open) - 9:50 AM EST

(Macro Close) - 10:10 AM EST
(Macro Open) - 10:50 AM EST
(Macro Close) - 11:10 AM EST
(Macro Open) - 1:10 PM EST
(Macro Close) - 1:40 PM EST
(Macro Open) - 3:15 PM EST
(Macro Close) - 3:45 PM EST

To make it easy for the eye we can combine the

Macros with the PO3 concepts and divide the macro in
3 types:

Accumulation Macro
Manipulation Macro
Distribution Macro
 Accumulation Macro:

- Creates liquidity (Will get swept after Macro close)

- Often in the form of a retracement

- Skip trading these macros

Manipulation Macro

> Sweeps Sellside liquidity when orderflow is bullish

> Sweeps Buyside liquidity when orderflow is bearish

- Look for a liquidity sweep into an PD array for

continuation trades (ideally combine this with SMT and
MSS for high probability setups)
 Expansion Macro

- Expansion in the pro-trend direction

- There was a form of liquidity sweep before this
macro

- Ideally you are positioned in the beginning of the

macro before the Expansion occurs
Here i show you an example of using the expansion
Macro while trading. combining the Macros, Market
structure and Time.
