HTF PO3
By LuxAlgoFeb 17, 2026
HTF PO3 is an indicator on Vela, our next-generation charting platform, written in Pine Script®.
HTF PO3 projects higher timeframe Power of 3 candles onto your execution chart, so the full accumulation, manipulation, and distribution cycle unfolds beside live price instead of on a second chart. Every projected candle is grid-locked: bodies and wicks tie directly to the price scale, and on the live candle, dashed origin lines pin the HTF open, high, and low to the exact lower timeframe bar that created them. A running volume delta beneath each candle nets the volume of up chart bars (close above open) against down chart bars (close below open) through the period, adding a pressure read to the structure.
How to Trade the HTF PO3?
- Accumulation: the initial body formation near the HTF open, where positions build before the move.
- Manipulation: wick expansion beyond the range, the liquidity grab phase, traceable via origin lines to the bar where it happened.
- Distribution: the directional leg away from the swept liquidity that defines the candle's close.
- Running delta: rising delta through accumulation supports a bullish read; delta fading against price warns of absorption or exhaustion.
Because the live candle and a configurable number of completed ones sit in the right margin, the tool suits a top-down routine: read the HTF phase first, then time entries on the timeframe where you execute.
