The strategy of accumulation, manipulation, and distribution is a trading strategy introduced by Inner Circle Trader (ICT), also known as ICT Power of 3, which helps individual traders follow the movements of "smart money" - large financial institutions.
Market activity is divided into three main phases: accumulation, where smart money builds positions; manipulation, where false moves deceive individual traders; and distribution, where smart money drives the market in its favor.
By understanding these three phases, you can better time your entries, avoid traps, and trade alongside market movers to maximize profits and minimize losses.
