Ultimate AMD Indicator

Ultimate AMD Indicator automates the Smart Money read of a trading period, detecting the full accumulation, manipulation, and distribution cycle with state machine logic that follows price from consolidation through the false breakout and into the real move. Fair value gap analysis runs alongside, ATR filtering keeps only significant gaps on screen, and overlap filtering keeps fair value gaps and accumulation boxes from stacking on each other.

How to Trade the Ultimate AMD Indicator?

• Accumulation box: price confined within a set percentage range across the lookback. Positions are building, and patience is the position.
• Manipulation phase: the breakout from the box, highlighted as the false move, in the spirit of the Judas swing, that lures traders into a trap before the actual trend begins.
• Distribution phase: price moves back into the accumulation range after the manipulation, which completes the cycle; the manipulation box stops extending, and the distribution phase itself is not drawn.
• FVGs and IFVGs: fresh gaps mark imbalance between buying and selling pressure; once breached, a gap converts into an inverted gap that often acts as support or resistance, offering potential entry or exit signals.

Alerts can notify you when a new accumulation zone forms and when the manipulation breakout fires, so the cycle can be tracked hands-off.

Ultimate AMD Indicator Settings

• Accumulation Length: the lookback used to qualify a consolidation as accumulation.
• Accumulation Max Range (%): the widest range price may hold and still count as accumulating.
• Breakout Type: Wicks, Bodies, or Both for detecting the escape from the zone.
• Max Manipulation Length (Bars): how long a manipulation may run before the pattern is invalidated.
• FVG controls: Show FVGs and Show IFVGs toggles, an FVG Min ATR Multiplier significance filter, and a Max Active FVGs/IFVGs cap; Max AMD Cycles Shown, under AMD Settings, caps the displayed cycles.
