AMD Setup - Full (Long + Short) ICT Model

ICTSNIPERKILLS!
Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution (AMD) Script!


1. Clarifies Structure: Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution (AMD)

The script visualizes the AMD framework:

Accumulation → Price ranges inside Initial Balance (IB).

Manipulation → Liquidity sweep above IB High or below IB Low.

Distribution → Market Structure Shift (MSS) confirms a directional move.

This gives you a narrative structure for each session, helping you avoid random trades.

🧠 2. Filters Out Noise with MSS Confirmation

It waits for:

A liquidity sweep (manipulation),

Followed by a market structure shift (MSS),

And then confirms an entry only after a candle closes beyond structure.

This structure:

Reduces false signals,

Improves trade timing,

Helps you align with smart money delivery.

🕘 3. Focuses on the Right Time Window (Initial Balance)

You only engage after the 10:30 AM EST close, once the Initial Balance is formed.This aligns with ICT's focus on:

Killzones (like 9:30–11:00),

Avoiding early overtrading,

Letting the market tip its hand first (through sweeps + MSS).

This timing logic supports discipline and consistency.

🟢🔴 4. Marks Entries with Risk/Reward Guidance

It plots:

AMD SHORT / LONG entries after MSS + candle confirmation,

Basic TP and SL visual markers using a static risk-reward (2:1),

Optional Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) for refinement zones.

While static, these help plan trades visually and frame targets quickly, especially if you're scalping or trading micro futures like MNQ.

📈 5. Alerts You in Real Time

Instead of manually watching:

You'll get alerts when sweeps or MSS setups appear.

You can stay focused during the killzone or walk away and return when signals trigger.

This supports patience and alert-based discipline.

💡
You already:

Use 15M/1M execution,

Wait for ERL or HOD/LOD sweeps,

Look for MSS + CISD,

Trade in killzones only,

Target 50–62–70% Fibs with SMT/FVG confluence.
