AMD Setup - Full (Long + Short) ICT Model

How it works

The script operates by identifying three key market phases: Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution. During the Accumulation phase, it analyzes price ranges within the Initial Balance (IB), tracking potential trading zones. In the Manipulation phase, the script detects liquidity sweeps above or below the IB High/Low, which indicate potential market movements.

Once a liquidity sweep occurs, the script waits for a Market Structure Shift (MSS) confirmation, ensuring trade entries are validated by structural changes. It specifically triggers entries only after a candle closes beyond the identified structure, reducing false signals and improving trade timing precision.

Why it may be useful

This trading approach provides traders with a structured methodology for understanding market dynamics and smart money movements. By filtering out random trades and focusing on specific market phases, traders can develop a more disciplined and strategic trading approach.

The script's emphasis on waiting for confirmed market structure shifts helps traders avoid impulsive decisions and align with professional trading principles. Its built-in risk management features, including static risk-reward markers and entry confirmation rules, support more consistent and informed trading strategies.

When to explore it

The script is most effective during specific market killzones, particularly after the 10:30 AM EST close when the Initial Balance is formed. It works best for traders targeting micro futures like MNQ and those interested in precise, low-noise entry signals.

Ideal usage includes day trading scenarios where traders want to avoid early overtrading and wait for the market to reveal its directional intentions. The script is particularly useful for traders who prefer structured, alert-based trading systems that reduce emotional decision-making and provide clear visual entry guidelines.
