Adrian’s 5m Q3 Manipulation to 4H Candle Expansion

Daily Setup:

1. Mark PDH & PDL
2. Use OTE Fibonacci & FRVP Projection with POC
3. Mark 1H Imbalances within OTE area

Model:

1. WAIT for Q3 5m CISD to occur
2. WAIT for confirmation of Displacement (fvg or closures of lows & highs). Mark PDAs & OTE of 5m expansion from the zone following CISD
3. WAIT for return to Manipulation Zone.

Rules: Return to Manipulation Zone - requires 0.5, 0.618, 0.705, 0.79 retracement levels COMBINED with Q3 Manipulation Zone. Targeting 4H half deviations (1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5). Trail Stops once price trades into 1.5 SD or at the time of a new 4H candle open. Trade idea invalidated if 1.5 SD is achieved before returning to manipulation zone. Do not take an entry if there is no displacement after CISD.

Q3 Manipulations are defined as a sweep of Q2 highs or lows minimum (less ambiguous if q1 is swept as well). If the opposing daily high or low is traded through negating bias, stick with current direction until invalidated by trading back through PDEQ.
