Dear reader,
Thank you for downloading our book on demystifying ICT,

short for innercircletrader.
We hope that you will nd value in the information and

fi
insights contained within these pages.
As you read through this book, we hope that you will come to
understand and appreciate the signi cance of power of three
fi
numbers, and learn how to use them to your advantage,
using PO3 dealing ranges.
Whether you are a seasoned trader, a novice trader, or simply

o
br
someone seeking to improve your understanding of the
gy
dealing ranges, we believe that using power of three in your
og
trade arsenal will be a valuable tool for you.

ed
th
We will also delve into what we call the Huddleston levels,

@
how it relates to the IPDA levels and why the number 6 plays
m
a crucial role here

ra
g
le
Last but not least, we will unlock the secrets of the 20-40-60
te
look back period, where the number 9 will play a prominent

role.
Furthermore we will also discuss the look back partitions,

which is more of a broader or longer term if you will view on
the market.

At rst this book might feel a little overwhelming. As a heads
fi
up, there are 3 main topics we touch:
-- Step 1: de ne your dealing range

fi
Step 2: de ne the IPDA wireframe inside the dealing range
-
fi
Step 3: Use AMD cycle and the look back periods
Step 1 and 2 make up your price levels, while step 3 will

de ne the time levels
fi
Those are the main topics you want to read. You wil also see
that they are logically grouped.
We rst start discussing the number 3, next the number 6,
fi
and nally number 9.
fi
o
br
After that we will dig into the ICT logo, and its relation to AMD
gy
time cycles.
og
ed
There is also a chapter about the two di erent algorithms,

ff
th
and this is something I mainly use for a longer term view,

@
based on a tweaked version of the Tesla Vortex.

m
ra
Remember, ICT says banks trade from the Weekly and Daily
g
le
charts, so this is where the algorithms come into play.

te
As this book evolves, I will show you an example in the

‘Putting it all together” chapter, where you can see the
algorithm play out with the Market maker sell model and the
optimal trade entry.

When you read the previous page, you might think by
yourself. Wait a minute, 3, 6, 9? Where did I see these before?
These are what we call the numbers that make up the Tesla
Vortex.
Not the car manufacturer, but Nikola Tesla, the inventor.
We will be using these numbers throughout the book, and

also a tweaked version of it.

POWER OF THREE NUMBERS

INTRODUCTION TO PO3
The power of three numbers is a concept that has fascinated
people for centuries. These numbers, often referred to as
"triplet numbers," are said to hold a special power and
signi cance, and have been revered by many cultures
fi
throughout history.
But what are these mysterious numbers, and how can we use
them to unlock the secrets of the universe? We will learn how
to calculate and understand these special numbers.
o
br
gy
First, let's start with a brief history of the power of three. The
og
concept of triplet numbers can be traced back to ancient

ed
civilizations, where they were often associated with spiritual

th
or religious signi cance. In many cultures, three was seen as

fi
@
a perfect number, representing balance and harmony.

m
ra
The power of three was also prevalent in the mythology of

g
many ancient cultures. In Greek mythology, the number three

le
te
was associated with the goddess of wisdom, Athena, and the

god of war, Ares. In Hindu mythology, the number three was
considered sacred and represented the three worlds of
creation, preservation, and destruction.
But the power of three is not just limited to ancient history

and mythology. In modern times, the concept of triplet
numbers continues to be revered and studied by people all
over the world. From mathematics and science to art and
literature, the power of three can be found in many di erent
ff
elds.
fi
Our focus will be on nance, where we are talking about
fi
accumulation, manipulation, distribution1.
Now that we've learned a bit about the history and mythology
surrounding the power of three, let's delve into how to
calculate and understand these special numbers.
o

gy

1 AMD cycle is a concept introduced by ICT

CALCULATING POWERS OF
THREE
In nance, dealing ranges are made of powers of the number
fi
three.
In mathematics, a power of three is a number of the

form 3n where n is an integer – that is, the result
of exponentiation with number three as the base and
integer n as the exponent.
o
You can also calculate the result multiplying the number 3 x
br
gy
times.
og
3 x 3 = 9
ed
th
@
The result, 9, is the power of three for the integer 2, or written

m
as 32
ra
We can continue this process for any number we choose. For

g
le
example, the powers of three for the integer 5 would be:

te
3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 243
In excel, a powers of the number three is calculated using the

following formula:
power(3, integer)
Depending on your asset, the powers of three result you get

from your calculation is either expressed in pips or in points.

For example, a xed dealing range for foreign exchange asset
fi
(fx) EURUSD might be 243 pips (35), while a Nasdaq futures
symbol is expressed in points, for example 81 (34) points.
Once you’re settled with a powers of three number you’re

interested in, you can calculate the dealing range.
A dealing range is a piece of price action where we expect

swings to happen. It typically has a dealing range low and a
dealing range high.
Price tends to stay inside this dealing range, unless it breaks

out this dealing range, and goes to the next partition.
When we de ne a dealing range we’re interested in (in either

o
fi
br
pips or points), we will use this number to de ne the
fi
gy
partitions, starting from base 0.0.
og
ed
For example, when we identify that a stock moves around 27

th
points on average (we do this visually, it will jump o from the

@
ff
chart), we de ne the partitions for it.
fi
m
ra
Partition 1 will run from 0 -> 27

g
le

te

…
If we calculate the partitions (more on that in next part), and

we see that price is aggressively trading through our levels,
we might consider doing a range expansion.
We have a part devoted to range expansion or contraction,

but basically, you take a larger PO3 number.
In our example above, the next PO3 number after 27 will be

81, and we’ll use 81 to de ne our PO3 partitions.
fi
When you’re only interested in the current PO3 partition,
because this is where current price action is taking place, go
to the next part, where we discuss the calculation of the
current PO3 partition.
o
br
gy
og
ed
th
Above you see a chart of Microsoft with all visible PO3

@
partitions for PO3 27 on it.

m
We start at base 0, this partition runs until 27, the next

ra
g
partition runs from 27 towards 54, next from 54 to 81, …

le
te
Typically, as discussed, price tends to “stay in the range” for a

while. It can brie y leave the range, and go back into it, or it
fl
can leave it, and move on to the next PO3 partition.

YOUR TRADING PROFILE / SIZE
Every trader has a certain style. This is linked to your
personality, your (working) situation, …
Some people can only trade once per month and are looking
for a position trade. The other want to trade twice every
session, and scalp a certain amount of pips, while others
prefer a “one shot, one trade” per week.
Below you’ll nd an overview of a typical range (or number of

fi
pips / handles they are looking for), and map it to the type of
trader you are. (Scalper, day trader, long term trader, …)

You’re looking at a swing of the “type of trader” size (eg. 27

m
ra
for a scalper), inside a PO3 dealing range we’re going to

g
identify.
le
te
Read the next part determine optimal PO3 DR size on how

to calculate the most optimal dealing range you need to use.
Inside this optimal PO3 dealing range, you will look for the
swings you’re interested in.
So for example, we identify the most optimal PO3 dealing

range as 243 pips, and we - as a session trader - are looking
for 27 pips/handles inside this dealing range.

DETERMINE OPTIMAL PO3
DEALING RANGE SIZE
Now the question is, how do I know what PO3 value to use
for the asset I’m currently trading.
I would suggest to open a 4 Hour chart, and look at the most

obvious swings.
They will most likely come in the form of a PO3 level, it will
jump straight from the chart, as you can see here on this 4H
o
EURUSD chart. br
gy
og
We see a lot of swings of 243 pips, so that’s the number

ed
we’re going to use going forward for the dealing ranges.

th
@
m
gra
le
te

On top of that, I also use a chart with 1 PO3 level higher, so
that would be a 729 chart in this case. I use this to follow the
longer term picture, usually on a 4h or daily chart.
One can also opt to use a chart with a level lower than the
number we found, so this would be a 81 PO3 dealing range
chart in this case.
We can monitor this to see if we potentially need to do a

range expansion (use the larger PO3 number), or do a range
contraction (use the lower PO3 dealing range).

USING PO3 DEALING RANGES
In the previous part, we learned how to calculate the PO3
number. This number is now going to be used to de ne our
fi
PO3 dealing ranges.
Remember from the previous part, we will use PO3 partitions

starting from base 0, so start at the 0 level.
This can be 0 for crypto, stocks, … or 0.0 for forex.
In order to calculate the dealing range partition we’re

currently in for our asset – be it fx, indices, crypto, … – we
need to have following variables:
o
current price br
gy
the most optimal power of three number. Read the part on
og
how to calculate the optimal PO3 dealing range,

ed
previously discussed in the book

th
@
We’re going to draw a xed range, using 2 lines, which will

fi
m
delineate our PO3 dealing range.

ra
g
For the current price, we’re just going to open a chart, and
le
te
take the price that’s currently printing.
Now, we’re going to calculate the current PO3 dealing range

low and high.
For this, we take the current price, and remove the decimal
point, if there is one.
We are also only interested in the integer part for anything

not forex related.
For forex we use the rst 5 numbers, and ignore the decimal
fi
point.

Asset Current Price Price to take
EURUSD 1.23459 12345

Now that we have our base price to use, all we need is the
power of three number we de ned as optimal (in the previous
fi
part).
Use the following formula to calculate the low of the current

xed dealing range.
fi
dealing range low = floor(current price /
optimal po3 number) * optimal po3 number
The oor function is of importance here. It will take only the

fl
integer number, and disregard the fractional part.
If we don’t do this, we will end up with the same number as
o
we started with. br
gy
og
Eg. 12345 divided by 243 = 50,802469135802469

ed
We are only interested in the number before the decimal

th
point, i.e. 50.

@
m
gra
le
te

EXAMPLES
Using the oor function in for example excel, you take the
fl
current price, divide it by the power of three number, and you
only take the integer part, ignoring the fractional part.

527 21870

Now that we have de ned our dealing range low, we can
fi
calculate the dealing range high.
We just take the dealing range low and add the power of
three number we used in our formula above to it.
So let’s say we are calculating the dealing range high for our
EURUSD asset.
We determined above that the PO3 dealing range low for our
243 PO3 range was 12150.
We add the 243 PO3 number to it, and we get a dealing

range high of 12150+243 = 12393
o
br
dealing range high = dealing range low +
gy
po3 number
og
ed
th
The last step we need to do is to put back the decimal point,

@
at the position it originally was, and the asset was forex

m
related.
ra
g
In our EURUSD example, the decimal point was after the rst
le
fi
te
position, so we get following dealing range low and high for

our 243 PO3 range
dealing range low = 1.2150

dealing range high = 1.2393

FRACTAL PO3
Below you see a 243 PO3 dealing range, with equilibrium and
the 1/3 and 2/3 levels as well.
o
br
gy
og
ed
th
@
The nice thing of the PO3 ranges is that you can divide them
m
ra
in 3 parts, and each of those 3 parts, will be a smaller PO3

g
range in itself.
le
te
So the above 243 PO3 consists out of 3 smaller 81 PO3

ranges.
You will have a premium part, a discount part and an

equilibrium part.
We will re ne the levels to be used inside the dealing range

fi
later in this book.
If you can’t wait, read up on the Goldbach levels, aka

Huddleston levels (or IPDA).

It’s good to emphasise that I use just the big range, here 243.
I don’t split these up into 3 81 pip ranges, but rather go for the
wireframe, i.e the Goldbach levels you’re about to read.
The 3 partitions here were just to highlight the fractional part

of PO3 numbers.

PO3 STOP RUNS
Power of three stop runs can come into 2 shapes.
Either it’s a real stop run of the buy - or sell side liquidity.
You’ll typically see a stop run under an old low or above an

old high of 3, 9, 27, 81, 243 pips, depending on the time
frame.
Or price stops at a certain level, most likely a dealing range

high or low, and will create a wick of a PO3 size, so a wick of
3, 9, 27, 81, 243 long.
o
br
gy
If this is the case, you now have a valid rejection block, and
og
the open or close of the rejection block can be used to enter

ed
a trade.
th
@
Later in this book you can read some additional information

m
about PO3 stop runs. Have a look for the external range
ra
demarker section.
g
le
te
I like to see PO3 stop runs within a PO3 dealing range of the
smaller number, like 3, 9, 27.
Certainly when there’s a short term high or low just resting
under a Goldbach level.
This is something I heavily use in my personal trade plan you

nd at the end of the book.
fi
For PO3 stop runs outside of the current size PO3 dealing
range, I like to see a stop run of that PO3 - 2 level. So let’s say
we’re using a PO3 729 dealing range, I like to see a PO3 - 2 =
81 stop run.

Reason for this is that the stop run level aligns with the next
or previous PO3 partition’s Order block level, where the fair
value will start (GB level 11 and 89).
Below is a 729 PO3 dealing range with the 81 stop run levels

PO3 LIQUIDITY
In part 2 of the book, you will learn about Goldbach levels,
aka Huddleston levels.
These are basically your IPDA levels as taught by ICT.
Now, you will very often see that we run short of the
Goldbach level, leaving liquidity.
I consider the Goldbach levels the “real” support and

resistance levels, and expect price to at least hit them.
So when you see price stops a PO3 number (typically 3 or 9

o
br
pips/handles) short of a Goldbach level, expect we will see a
gy
PO3 stop run to clear this liquidity.
og
ed
So we might have 3 pips liquidity short of a Goldbach level,

th
and a 9 pip stop run into the Goldbach level to clear this
@
liquidity.
m
gra
le
te

Here you can see price created a short term low, short of the
Goldbach level.
This is your PO3 liquidity. Price drove back up, to later drive
down, with a 9 pip PO3 stop run, into the Goldbach level,
clearing out the 3 pip PO3 liquidity.
So the paradigm here is:
1: We want to see a Goldbach level (more in Part 2 of the

book)
2: that is not traded to yet, and a short term low of high is
created above or below the level, of a certain PO3 size
3: and this liquidity is later run using a PO3 stop run

RANGE EXPANSION AND
CONTRACTION
Range expansion and contraction is when the current PO3
dealing range is not su cient anymore.
ffi
This is a concept I use with stocks, or new assets like bitcoin
for instance.
Other than using a PO3 dealing range as seen above, which I
o
use for forex and indices, to see what current PO3 partition
br
gy
we’re in, here we just use the real PO3 numbers.
og
ed
We start with one of the smallest PO3 numbers, for example

th
9. If price moves out of this range we do a range expansion,

@
and we take the next PO3 number, which is 27.

m
ra
If this range is breached to the upside, we will do another

g
range expansion, and we’ll take 81, 243, 729, …

le
te
If price retraces however, and we continue to make lower

prices, we do a range contraction.
Let’s say we were in the 243-729 price range, but price

moved below the 243 price range, we will now consider the
range 81-243 as our main dealing range.

On this bitcoin chart, you can see price moved out of the 81
dealing range, and the range 81-243 was used
o
br
gy
og
ed
th
@
m
ra
g
le
te

Next, we see that the 243-729 was used. Price broke the 729
level, and did a PO3 stop run and went back into the range
de ned by 243-729
fi
o
br
gy
og
ed
Later on, the 2187 and 6561 were breached, and price had a
th
hard stop at exactly 19683.

GETTING TO KNOW PO3
DEALING RANGES
Before you continue with the next chapter, it is a good idea to
get familiar with the PO3 dealing ranges.
One might want to create a chart with just a number of

dealing range partitions on it, for a given number.
So only with the high and lows on it, and see how order
blocks are getting created around these levels, and how gaps
are created in the middle of the partitions.

CALCULATING DEALING RANGE
Your PO3 number you’re going to use is calculated in
previous cheat sheet
You determine the current price. Open a chart for your
asset and just take the price that currently prints
Don’t make it complex by using 00:00 EST open price,
Friday’s range, … Current price is enough
Determine your dealing range low using the formula
de ned above in the book using the PO3 number and the
fi
current price
Now with the calculated dealing range low, add your PO3
number, this will be your dealing range high
Include a decimal point again if the formula said to remove

it, at the exact same place br

WHEN TO DO RANGE EXPANSION
If price goes out of your dealing range
And does a PO3 stop run regularly, (eg you have a 243
dealing range, with a 27 PO3 stop run)
This can indicate 2 things.
Either your dealing range is too small, and you need to
recalculate the most optimal dealing range
Or your dealing range is still in line with the optimal PO3
size, and price will move to the next partition
If price is consolidating, will see often PO3 stop runs, and
price goes back into the range
This might indicate you are in the middle part of a larger
PO3 range, eg a 243 PO3 dealing range, and you are in
o
the middle 81 PO3 partition br

7 CLUSTERS OF 100
This leads us to Goldbach clusters
Goldbach's conjecture is one of the oldest and best-

known unsolved problems in number theory and all
of mathematics. It states that every even natural
number greater than 2 is the sum of two prime numbers.2
So what does this mean exactly? Well we’re looking for the 7
clusters of the number 100.
A cluster are 2 primes, when added them together we have

the number 100.
The number 100 is just the percentage of a range. A full

range is 100%, hence the number 100.
We can use a goldbach calculator to nd all pairs for a given

fi
number for us.
o
br
An even number can have more than 1 Goldbach cluster, and
gy
from Michaels name we understand that we need to look for
og
7 clusters.

7 47 53
You can see that for each cluster, the discount number and
o
br
the premium number add up to the number 100.
gy
og
These clusters also explain market symmetry. The low

ed
number together with the high number (for example 11 and

th
89) are symmetrical opposed to each other.

@
m
You can identify a discount number, and a premium number,

ra
and map the prime numbers making up a Goldbach cluster

g
le
towards the IPDA levels taught by ICT, as seen in the next

te
part.
You will also see that most partitions are 6 apart from each
other, where the 5th cluster will jump 12 steps at once, which
is where the liquidity void will reside.
So now we already have number 3 for the power of three

ranges and make up our dealing ranges, and number 6 which
separates the Goldbach clusters.

All that’s left to do is to de ne a b tool but with the below
fi
fi
prime numbers, de ning the Goldbach clusters.

We now identi ed the IPDA levels, which are goldbach levels

fi
we calculated for the number 100. The 7 pairs make up the
premium and discount levels.
You will also see that the levels are 6% apart from each other,
apart from the top and bottom.
Rejection block is only 3% apart from the high/low, and the
order block is 8% apart from the rejection block onwards.

You will also notice that the array where the liquidity void is
(the 29/71 Goldbach cluster), the levels are 12% apart.
This is the nature of a liquidity void, as this is where there is

most of the time a large one direction move, which is what we
expect due to the 12%.
To map the levels to an ICT concept, like rejection block,

order block, we take the value of the level just below it until
the current value.
So for a rejection block, we take 0 -> 3 or 100 -> 97, for an
order block we take 97 -> 89 or 3 -> 11 and so on
When we map the Goldbach clusters to our PO3 dealing

o

th
@
You learned that Goldbach levels are typically 6% apart from

m
ra
each other, but what about CE levels.

g
le
te
Well, CE levels are just in the middle of 2 Goldbach levels, so

typically every 3% we have a consequent encroachment.

o
Typically you will see market structure shifts occur at the
br
consequent encroachment levels.
gy
og
Above you can nd a screenshot of ICT twitter where he just

dealing range with Goldbach levels.

m
ra
The order block levels, which starts from the rejection block
g
(3/97) towards the order block (11/89) is 8% in size.

le
te
The middle of 8% is 4%, hence he needed a di erent name

ff
for mean threshold.
These levels should hold, like ICT always says, I want to see
the MT of an order block hold, if it breaches this, we will
probably see lower prices.
We can conclude:
Consequent encroachment = the middle of a 6% block

Mean threshold = the middle of a 8% block
You will also see in the liquidity void levels, which are 12%,
that you can have non Goldbach levels.
These are no real Goldbach levels per se, as they are no
prime numbers, but in my testing I nd that the levels in
fi
between the FVG->LV and the LV->BR also have a hidden 6%
level (and thus a CE level as well), so on my charts (when I
use a large enough PO3 dealing range, so my screen is not
cluttered with lines), I also draw following levels:
35 and 65
23 and 77
And I call these the non gb levels.

EXTERNAL RANGE
DEMARKERS
We de ned dealing ranges using PO3 values. This de nes
fi
fi
our range, and this comes both with internal range, where we
use our Goldbach IPDA levels, but there’s also external range.
External range is also de ned by PO3 levels, and this is

fi
something we learned in the PO3 chapter, part about PO3
stop runs.
o
br
gy
Basically what you do is add following b values to your
fi
og
bonacci tool:
fi
ed
th
Range high: 1.111

@
Range low: -0.111

m
ra
Using these b values is putting a PO3 (-2) level on the chart.

g
fi
What this means is, it highlights stop runs of 2 lower PO3
le
te
numbers.
For example, if you’re currently using a 2187 PO3 dealing

range, it will put a stop run level of 2 PO3 lower, which is not
729, but 243.
For 243, it will be not 81, but 27, and so on.
This will give you an indication on where price will go to in

case it breaches the dealing range, for a brief moment of
time.
You’ll often see that a big move starts from an external range
demarker as well.
Also with ERD, you can cut the block in 2, so you have the
middle of the ERD, which is also very sensitive.

SMT AND GOLDBACH
You can use Goldbach levels with 2 di erent assets (eg. EU
ff
and GU) to identify SMT.
SMT is a method to determine divergence. Mostly used with 1

asset making a lower low or higher high, while the other asset
fails to make a lower low (this will be the strongest asset), or
fails to make a higher high (this will be the weakest asset).
We can use Goldbach levels to measure a di erent kind of
ff
SMT and signal a potential reversal.
o
br
gy
og
ed
th
@
m
gra
le
te
In the above example you can see EU is hitting a Goldbach

level (check the bodies as well), while GU fails to hit a
Goldbach level, but rather the CE is providing resistance. You
will see a large drop later on.

Non Goldbach levels are also some form of a CE level, so you
might see SMT between Goldbach levels and non Goldbach
levels as well.
The chart you will use will have the same PO3 dealing range
on it for both assets.
In the example above, both EU and GU charts have the 729
PO3 DR on it.
You don’t want to mix 2 di erent dealing ranges to form t an
ff
fi
SMT.

HOW TO USE GOLDBACH
Ok, so now you learned about PO3 dealing ranges to identify
a large enough range, and you learned how to draw the IPDA
levels inside this dealing range, using Goldbach levels.
Now, how to apply these?
Well, that depends entirely on what type of trader you are.
Are you interested in trading the levels from a wireframe

perspective, than you follow the story of price.
o
br
Each IPDA level will tell you what to look for. Are you inside
gy
the OB range (3 -> 11 or 97 -> 89) you look for an order block
og
to form.
ed
In the breaker block zone? Look for a breaker to form.

th
@
You either look at the left of the chart if price created the
m
IPDA block in the past, or you wait for price to create one for
ra
you.
g
le
te
If you do not see the corresponding block to form in the zone

you are in, you probably have not a valid IPDA block.
No order block in the OB zone? No trade using a nonexistent
order block.
Now, this story of price ow is to be used with following trade

fl
style:

LONG TERM OR POSITION TRADER
You look for the look back partitions, you de ne your
fi
yearly AMD cycles, and you wait to trade from an IPDA
block.
No IPDA block, no trade.
You will have to use a large enough PO3 range (2187,
6561, …)

OSOK TRADER OR SHORT TERM TRADER
You de ne a dealing range of adequate size (for instance

This means you will probably need to wait a couple of
hours or days before the setup forms.
Ideal setups form inside a manipulation cycle, either the
main one, or a fractal one. You also want to see a PO3 stop
run into a Goldbach level

DAY TRADER OR SCALPER
You do not attach a story of price to the Goldbach levels,
but you just trade the levels as support and resistance.
The ow can go from Goldbach level to Goldbach level,
fl
from Goldbach level to a non Goldbach level, or the other
way around, but never from a non Goldbach level to a non
Goldbach level, as there will always be the liquidity void

INTRODUCTION
The 20-40-60 look back is where the number 9 comes into
play.
This is one of ICT’s riddles that triggered me to dig into this

price sequence.
o
br
gy
og
ed
We just use a sequence of the number 9 to de ne our

fi
th
partitions that make up the look back anchor points, but we

@
ignore the rst number 9.

fi
m
ra
As to why we ignore the rst 9 (and another one later in the

g
fi
le
sequence), this will become clear in a moment.

te
The sequence we will use is:

18-27-36-45-54-63-72-81-99-108-117-126
This sequence is to be used on the daily chart, and delineate

the partitions.
We will break the numbers of the sequence in 2 parts:

- the rst digit in case the complete number < 100, else we
fi
take the rst 2 digits. This will make up the month
-
fi
The last digit. This will make up the day of that speci c
fi
month

We will come up with following table
Number Month Day
18 January 8
27 February 7
36 March 6
45 April 5
54 May 4
63 June 3
72 July 2
81 August 1
o
br
99 September 9
gy
og
108 October 8
ed
117 November 7
th
@
126 December 6
m
ra
The days of the speci c month will make up our anchor

g
le fi
points, so it’s best to open a daily chart, and draw 12 lines for
te
the year, given the speci c day for the month.

fi
Should a day fall on a weekend, you use the following trading
day, typically Monday following the weekend.
If for example you need to draw the vertical line for May the
4th, but this day falls on a Saturday, you would draw a vertical
line for Monday the 6th for that speci c year.
fi
You’ll now understand why we don’t use the numbers 09 and
90, as there is no Month 0 with a day 9, and there is no day 0
in the 9th month.

Now we have de ned the partitions, marking up the look
fi
back periods, it’s time to put them in action.
At the start of the new partition, we look for a clue based on

the speci c number of that partition.
fi
For example, if we started the partition for the month of
October, we will use the number 108.
With this number (108 in this case), we will look for a stop run
of 108 pips in any of the previous 3 partitions (the 20-40-60
lookback).
What is also possible is that you don’t need to look for a stop
run, but that you’ll nd a FVG of this amount of pips
o
fi
br
The last possibility is that there’s an order block in close
gy
proximity, with this size (108 for October).
og
ed
At the start of the new partition, you typically look for the rst
fi
th
few trading days of the new partition to hit either the liquidity,
@
the fair value gap or the order block.

m
ra
We expect price to aggressively trade away (reverse) from

g
le
this point, and we expect a PO3 stop run on the opposite

te
direction.
This PO3 stop run can be either a real liquidity stop run, or
when you see a PO3 size wick, it’s possible this wick is used
as a target.
When the PO3 stop run occurred, you’ll typically see that
price goes back into the trading range de ned for the current
fi
partition.

HIPPO
You’ll nd references to HIPPO in the following examples.
fi
This is an “invention” of mine, to demonstrate that if you
understand the price levels (huddleston/Goldbach), you can
create any trading system around it, give a concept a name of
your liking.
That’s why I came up with the HIPPO:
H: HIDDEN
I : INTERBANK
o
P: PRICE br
gy
P: POINT
og
O: OBJECTIVE
ed
th
Basically, a HIPPO is a “hidden” order block, where you take

@
the wicks of 2 consecutive bars.

m
ra
You do not take any 2 bars, but the bars should create a fair
g
value gap.
le
te

o
Above you can see 2 green candles. The second candle
br
didn’t ll in the rst gap, and the next candle (the red
gy
fi
fi
indecision candle) also formed a gap.
og
ed
When we attach the top of the wick of the rst candle to the
th
fi
bottom of the wick of the second candle, you can see a
@
“hidden” order block forming.

m
ra
g
You can also see that this HIPPO o ered support later on (and
le
ff
also closed the top FVG.
te

When studying HIPPO’s you will often nd that they are
fi
created:
around CE levels. This will give a good indication a CE

level will hold in the future, or it will be re-used later on
Around the non Goldbach levels. Remember, non
Goldbach levels are created to “split” the liquidity void
zone into 6% blocks.
So there will be a non Goldbach level above, and one
below the liquidity void level (71/29).
Typically you will also see HIPPO’s form around these
levels.
An even more interesting observation you will make is that
these (potentially) 2 HIPPO’s will be the trigger for a break
away gap and a measuring gap.
o
br
This is also the area where SIBI and BISI will occur.
gy
og
ed
th
@
m
gra
le
te

HIPPO’s are just like order blocks, they can be reclaimed in
the future, or they can act as a reverse HIPPO, just like when
an order block becomes a mitigation block, when it is traded
through.
In below example you can see a HIPPO, which was rst
fi
traded to, to create the high.
But later, when price was traded down, and went straight
through the HIPPO (both fair value gaps were breached),
price retraced back up, into the HIPPO sensitive point, which
is where the close of the rst candle matches the open of the
fi
next candle that make up the HIPPO.

INTRODUCTION
Everybody is looking at the logo as a small circle
accompanied by a large circle.
But this is the sleight of hand of ICT, it’s to mislead you.
What you are really looking for is a small circle with a bigger
circle to the left and right of it.

This represents your Accumulation, Manipulation and

Distribution cycle

When we take our beloved PO3 numbers, and consider 1
trading year, we exactly end up with what ICT always hinted:
o
br
gy
og
ed
There are roughly 52 trading weeks in a year, with 5 trading

th
days per week (forget about crypto here).

@
This accounts for 260 trading days per year.

m
ra
But we are interested in PO3 numbers, so this gives us

g
le
260 - 243 = 17
te
17 days is pretty much the amount of trading days of

December, and we learned from the tweet that December
“resets” the trading range.
This will give us for the yearly AMD range:

Accumulation: January to April (the left big circle)
Manipulation: April to May (the inner - smaller - circle)
Distribution: May to November (the right big circle)
Now, when you look closely, you can see that each circle is
made up out of 3 other AMD circles.
So each of the 3 circles which make up the AMD phase, has
their own AMD cycle in it.
Read more about this in the Fractal chapter.
You now also understand why ICT stands for inner circle
trader.
Most trades ICT does, is inside the manipulation phase, or the
inner circle.

We can do the same like we did above to layout the yearly
expectations, but now for a given day.
Below is information for forex (and crypto) related settlement.

This is using concepts from the CLS settlement window, and
the timings are in CET, as this is the timeframe CLS operates
in.
For indices, I’m currently monitoring 18:45-18:45 EST, but this

book will be updated with the correct information in due time.
We are using the CLS timings for this, so a true day goes from
20:00-20:00 CET, which is 19:00-19:00 BST or 14:00-14:00
EST
o

You can see there that we have an accumulation phase

during the Asian session, the London session breaks out of
the Asian consolidation and retraces back into the
consolidation during the manipulation phase (and forms the
Judas), and price is being distributed during New York.

o
The main manipulation session matches the London Open
br
session, and runs from 05:00 CET - 11:00 CET, which is 23:00
gy
EST-05:00 EST.
og
You will notice this is a 6 hour window.

ed
th
The asian session and the New York session are the
@
accumulation phase and distribution phase respectively, and

m
are 9 hours long, again a reference to the 3 (sessions) and 6

ra
g
and 9 (hours).
le
te
So to summarise:
Accumulation (or A): Asian Range

Manipulation (or M): London Open
Distribution:
This is typically divided into 2 separate cycles:
D1: New York
D2: London Close

Now, I told you that we can break each phase into smaller
AMD phases, as price is fractal.
So if we look for instance at the manipulation phase of the

above screenshot, we can ne tune it using the smaller AMD
fi
cycle
o
br
gy
og
ed
th
@
You can see the accumulation phase, this is violated (market

m
ra
structure shift) and retraced back into (to form an OTE).

g
After the retracement into the consolidation of the

le
te
accumulation phase, we expand into a pool of interest

(liquidity, fvg, …)
At this moment, we will reverse price. You will see that the
reversal will typically be in the middle of the distribution cycle.

Now if you think: 'This looks pretty familiar, but I can't put my

FRACTAL
So what is the fractal of the logo you asked. Everybody was
looking at bonacci numbers, geometric sequences, doubling
fi
theory, while it’s just AMD cycles using following numbers.
In trading view you can use the b time zone tool.
fi
The 0.81 is the middle of the distribution cycle and you’ll see
a retracement or reversal happening there very often
o
br
gy
og
ed
th
@
m
gra
le
te

Price is fractal, so like described in the previous part, every
cycle can be divided in their own AMD cycle, and this can
again be ne tuned into AMD cycles.
fi
So per main cycle (A, M, D) you would potentially end up with
9 sub cycles.

HOW TO USE AMD
I like to remap the 3 main phases of the AMD cycle into the
following words:
A: Accumulation = Analyse
M: Manipulate = Mark
D = Distribute = Deliver or Deal with it
So in analyse phase, I like to see what the market is up to.

This is your typical Asian range, and we’re looking what
they’re up to.
o
br
Next, in the Mark phase, this is where I want to enter the
gy
market. This is where my focus is, and I want to enter here
og
typically. This is the London Open session.

ed
th
As explained, I want to get in at the middle of the

@
manipulation phase, but I’m exible. We will learn about

fl
m
distortion of time in the next part, so no big deal if we do a

ra
stop run into a Goldbach level by the end of the manipulation

g
cycle.
le
te
The last phase is the delivering cycle, where we need to deal

with the position we took during the manipulation cycle.
Like you know, this is typically delivered in 2 phases, and we

are cautious for potential reversals here, in line with either a
reversal day, or a London close day to get back into the
range.

DISTORTION OF TIME
My favourite setups occur during the Manipulation cycle. This
can either be the main M cycle (London Open), or one of the
fractal AMD cycles.
I want to see the PO3 stop run happen in the middle of the M
cycle. This should hit (or just pass) a Goldbach level (so a run
into the institutional level). All of this with a PO3 size run, like
we learned.
If this run however fails to run into a Goldbach level, but this
happens either in the beginning, or towards the end of the M
o
br
cycle, I consider this as distortion of time.

First a word of warning: The algorithms are the advanced
part of the book. If you don’t get a rm grasp of how PO3
fi
dealing ranges work, how to use the Goldbach levels inside
these, and witnessed the reaction points during the M cycle,
it’s is too early to start using the algorithms.
Now that the warning is out of the way, let’s talk about the 2
algorithms that I found using everything ICT told us.
We understand Goldbach levels now, but how to we get to

the 2 algorithms you wonder?
Well, we are going to use a Tesla Vortex, but we base the

calculation of our modular multiplication on the numbers we
discovered here in this book.
o
br
gy
Now we can come up with the theory between the 2
og
algorithms ICT described.

ed
th
We now understand that price action delivers using PO3

@
numbers (the number 3), and Goldbach levels.

We also identi ed the 14 di erent IPDA levels, which are the

g
fi
ff
le
lines that make up the 7 Goldbach clusters of the number 100

te
(our full dealing range in percentages)
So we will feed this in our vortex calculator:
Modulus: 14
Multiplier: 3

Now this is very interesting. We have 2 sets of data, one that

starts with the number 1, and another one that starts with the
number 2.
And interesting, ICT mentioned back in the old days that

there are 2 algorithms, one of which is the MMxM.
MMxM: is either a Market Maker Buy Model or a Market

Maker Sell Model

So we have 2 sets of data:
1 3 9 13 11 5
2 6 4 12 8 10
If we map this to our Goldbach values we found, where 1 = 0 =

high, 2 = rejection block, 3 = order block, …
We get following 2 mapped algorithms

Now we understand how we need to create the dealing
ranges (using the PO3 numbers), and we understand the
levels inside these dealing ranges (using Goldbach), and we
understand that price is o ered by any of the 2 algorithms,
ff
we can get to work.
In the below screenshot, we identi ed for the EURUSD chart,
fi
the current 729 PO3 partition.
This partition runs from 1.0206 towards 1.0935, or the 14th
729 partition from base 0.0
14*729=10206 (dealing range low)

10206 + 729 = 10935 (dealing range high)
-> add decimal point for EURUSD
o
br
When we put the range low and range high in our calculator,
gy
and we specify this is a 729 range, we can calculate the IPDA

og
levels using the Goldbach levels.

ed
th
@
Using algo 2 for a bullish scenario, you can see that price is
respecting the levels outlined by our algo.
m
gra
le
te
You can see in the screenshot that an order block was

created, a fair value accompanied by it, price returned into
the OB+FVG, price expanded away above equilibrium, price
retraced back and was mitigated around equilibrium. We
consolidated a little while, and price was aggressively
expanded into the prede ned level to form the high of the
fi
algo, which is the premium fair value gap.
To get a cleaner chart, you can lter out all the Goldbach
fi
levels that are not needed for the ow of the speci c
fl
fi
algorithm.
While we’re generally not calling tops and bottoms, using the
po3 dealing ranges, Goldbach levels and the algorithm ow,

together with con uences of what you’re about to learn with
fl
the look back partitions, it might rea rm a change in direction

SMR in the FVG premium level
2 phases of distribution, at the gaps de ned by the HIPPO
fi
aggressive sell o to target sell side liquidity, to complete
ff
MMSM
What I like to see is that the PO3 stop run (of 3 pips in this
example) occurs during a manipulation phase. This can either

be the main M phase (London Kill Zone), or a fractal M phase
(in the New York kill zone for instance).
We want to see an aggressive sell o , and break the
ff
consequent encroachment that exists between 2 levels,
preferable between the fair value gap Goldbach level
(17/83)m and the liquidity void level (29/71)
A HIPPO will form at the start of this sell o , and it will create
ff
2 PO3 sized gaps around it.
The bottom (or top for a MMBM) will be the trigger to look for
your MMxM, and is the initial consolidation of the model.
This will be your baseline that triggers the algorithm, and from
the algorithm teachings earlier in the book we understand
o
br
that algorithm 1 need to start at the high or low Goldbach
gy
level, which is 0 and 100.
og
ed
The next level of algorithm 1 will be the order block level

th
(11/89), and typically you will see an order block form in

@
between these levels.

m
ra
We will move to the (premium in case of a MMSM) breaker

g
le
level (41/59), and the algorithm will typically seek to want to

te
come back to the discount liquidity void level (71/29)
Price next expands to the rejection block, where the smart

money reversal occurs, and the right side begins.
You will than see 2 levels of distributions, around the 2 PO3

sized gaps that formed the HIPPO.
The second distribution will trigger an aggressive sell o , to

ff
complete the MMxM.

One can draw another Goldbach b in between the 2 main
fi
Goldbach levels, for further re nement
fi
What this means is, we have identi ed the 2 main Goldbach
fi
levels and we take a standard Fibonacci tool, but with the
Goldbach levels instead of the regular levels.
Now, this will reveal the wireframe we use to map the

algorithm 1, and also explains the green box where it says
“FAIR VALUE = OTE” in the previous screenshot.
One will note that these ranges are no PO3 sized ranges, but
rather 6% (standard Goldbach distance) or 8%( for the order
block) of a PO3 dealing range.

Price will then reject, and raid a short term low or high
When price retraces back, it should stop at the partition
extreme (high/low), this is where you enter. Stop should be
