π§ I will explain the following things about Macros in this thread: Meaning, Times, Types, How to use it, Example + Visual indicator
π§ What is a Macro? A Macro is a period where the algo will seek buy side or sell side liquidity, or seek to rebalance price at a point of interest in between the open and close of the macro.
β² What are the times the Macros are active?
(Macro Open) - 9:50 AM EST
(Macro Close) - 10:10 AM EST
(Macro Open) - 10:50 AM EST
(Macro Close) - 11:10 AM EST
(Macro Open) - 1:10 PM EST
(Macro Close) - 1:40 PM EST
(Macro Open) - 3:15 PM EST
(Macro Close) - 3:45 PM EST
(Macro Open) - 9:50 AM EST
(Macro Close) - 10:10 AM EST
(Macro Open) - 10:50 AM EST
(Macro Close) - 11:10 AM EST
(Macro Open) - 1:10 PM EST
(Macro Close) - 1:40 PM EST
(Macro Open) - 3:15 PM EST
(Macro Close) - 3:45 PM EST
To make it easy for the eye we can combine the Macros with the PO3 concepts and divide the macro in 3 types:
1β£ Accumulation Macro
2β£ Manipulation Macro
3β£ Distribution Macro
1β£ Accumulation Macro
2β£ Manipulation Macro
3β£ Distribution Macro
1β£ Accumulation Macro:
- Creates liquidity (Will get swept after Macro close)
- Often in the form of a retracement
- Skip trading these macros
- Creates liquidity (Will get swept after Macro close)
- Often in the form of a retracement
- Skip trading these macros
2β£ Manipulation Macro
> Sweeps Sellside liquidity when orderflow is bullish
> Sweeps Buyside liquidity when orderflow is bearish
- Look for a liquidity sweep into an PD array for continuation trades (ideally combine this with SMT and MSS for high probability setups)
> Sweeps Sellside liquidity when orderflow is bullish
> Sweeps Buyside liquidity when orderflow is bearish
- Look for a liquidity sweep into an PD array for continuation trades (ideally combine this with SMT and MSS for high probability setups)
3β£ Expansion Macro
- Expansion in the pro-trend direction
- There was a form of liquidity sweep before this macro
- Ideally you are positioned in the beginning of the macro before the Expansion occurs
- Expansion in the pro-trend direction
- There was a form of liquidity sweep before this macro
- Ideally you are positioned in the beginning of the macro before the Expansion occurs
Here i show you an example of using the expansion Macro while trading. combining the Macros, Market structure and Time.
