This theory removes ambiguity as it gives you specific time-based reference points to look for when entering trades.
Before being able to implement this theory into your trading you must first understand that time is fractal.

The YEARLY cycle is comprised of 4 quarters, three months each.
o
The FIRST quarter is January to March
o
The SECOND quarter is April to June
o
The THIRD quarter is July to September
o
The FOURTH quarter is October to December

The MONTHLY cycle is comprised of 4 quarters, one week each. The counting of the quarters starts from the first full week meaning if the
first week relating to the traditional month is a partial week it is omitted and viewed as distortion.
o
The FIRST full week of the month is the first quarter
o
The SECOND week is the second quarter
o
The THIRD week is the third quarter
o
The FOURTH week is the fourth quarter

The WEEKLY cycle is comprised of 4 quarters, one day each.
o
Monday is the first quarter
o
Tuesday is the second quarter
o
Wednesday is the third quarter
o
Thursday is the fourth quarter
o
Friday is not included into the weekly cycle due to the fact that it has its own specific function. (Need to find out what that is)

The DAILY cycle is comprised of 4 quarters, six hours each. This perfectly aligns with the four trading sessions of a trading day.
o
The FIRST quarter is the Asian session
o
The SECOND quarter is the London session
o
The THIRD quarter is the New York AM session
o
The FOURTH quarter is the New York PM session
2:38
each session is comprised of four
2:40
quarters 90 minutes each
2:44
I refer to them as the 90-minute cycles
2:48
in regards to the Asian session the
2:50
90-minute circles are as follows
2:53
6 PM to 7 30 PM is the first quarter
2:57
7 30 pm to 9 pm is the second quarter
3:03
9 pm within 30 PM is the third quarter
3:08
and 10 30 pm
3:10
to 12 a.m midnight is the fourth quarter
3:16
in regards to the London session
3:18
the 90-minute Cycles are as follows
3:21
the first quarter is
3:23
12 a.m midnight to 1 30 am
3:28
the second quarter is 1 30 a.m to 3 AM
3:33
the third quarter is 3 A.M to 4 30 am
3:38
the fourth quarter is 4 30 a.m to 6 am
3:45
in regards to the New York session
3:47
the 90-minute Cycles are as follows
3:50
the first quarter is 6 a.m to 7 30 am
3:55
the second quarter is 7 30 a.m to 9 A.M
4:00
the third quarter is
4:02
9 A.M to 10 30 am
4:05
and the fourth quarter is 10 30 am to 12
4:08
P.M
4:10
in regards to the afternoon session the
4:12
90-minute circles are as follows
4:15
the first quarter is 12 P.M to 1 30 pm
4:20
the second quarter is 1 30 pm to 3 P.M
4:25
the third quarter is 3 P.M to 4 30 pm
4:29
and the fourth quarter is 4 30 pm to 6
4:33
pm
The Functions
4:36
know that we understand that time is
4:38
fractal we can begin to look into the
4:41
functions of some of the quarters
4:44
I believe that price is delivered by an
4:46
algorithm
4:48
so there must be some initial input
4:50
which is used to make decisions
4:52
throughout each cycle
4:53
this is the function of q1
4:56
q1 dictates the quarters which follow
4:59
meaning
5:01
I use q1 as a barometer for forecasting
5:04
market conditions in the subsequent
5:06
quarters of each cycle I'm looking at
5:09
if the first quarter is overextended
5:12
I'll expect the second quarter to
5:14
consolidate
5:16
and if the first quarter is in a tight
5:18
range I would expect the second quarter
5:21
to expand
True Opens
5:23
now is where things get interesting so
5:27
if you haven't been taking notes I
5:29
suggest that you pause the video right
5:31
now and go grab some note-taking
5:33
instruments
5:35
true opens are the main components of
5:39
quarterly Theory
5:41
that they are specific openings of price
5:44
which serve as a time-based filter for
5:47
gauging Judas swings or stop ons
5:51
true opens or the beginning of Q2 of
5:54
every cycle
5:55
it is a simple concept to understand
5:59
if you are bullish within a specific
6:02
cycle
6:03
you want to buy below it's true open
6:07
and if you are bearish within a specific
6:10
cycle you want to sell above its true
6:13
open
6:14
this will increase your accuracy
6:18
tremendously
6:20
as key levels usually rest above or
6:22
below through all pens
6:25
every cycle has its own true open
6:29
the two-year open is the opening price
6:31
of the first Monday of April
6:35
the true month open is the opening price
6:38
of the second Monday of the month
6:40
the true week open is Monday at 6 pm
6:44
the true day open is 12 o'clock midnight
6:48
the true open of the Asian session is 7
6:51
30 pm
6:53
the true open of the London session is 1
6:55
30 am
6:57
the true open of the New York session is
6:59
7 30 am and the true open of the
7:02
afternoon session is 1 30 pm
7:05

7:08
opens function during Polish market

Cheat Sheet
7:12
now we'll look at the quarterly Theory
7:15
cheat sheet there are two sets of
7:18
instructions that the algorithm usually
7:19
follows
7:21
I deemed them as amdx
7:24
and X AMD the diagram to the right gives
7:27
a visual depiction of amdx as you can
7:31
see q1 from the tight range after which
7:34
the manipulation phase of price begins
7:36
ICT dubs this as
7:39
the Judas string
7:40
according to his algorithmic theory
7:43
the purpose of this fake movie is to get
7:45
Traders offside
7:47
after which the real move takes place
7:50
after the manipulation phase takes place
7:53
the next phase is the distribution phase
7:56
this phase is usually the easiest to
7:58
trade as the previous quarter has
8:01
already established the trend of the
8:03
cycle
8:04
the fourth phase is X the fourth phase
8:07
is X which can either continue the
8:09
established range of the cycle or
8:11
reverse
8:12
in regards of this example the fourth
8:14
quarter is reversal as you can see press
8:17
reverses at higher time frame pdas or
8:20
key levels liquidity is induced when
8:23
price breaches old eyes and whole laws
8:26
while trading into key levels if you
8:28
usually trade with the one minute chart
8:30
you need a 15 minute period
8:32
if you usually trade with the five
8:34
minute chart you need a one-hour PD
8:36
array if you usually trade with the
8:39
15-minute chart you need a 4-Hour
8:41
pediary
8:42
if you usually trade with the 100 chart
8:44
you need a daily video
8:46
and if you usually trade with a four
8:47
hour chart you need a weekly period in
8:50
regards to X AMD the first quarter is
8:54
the continuation or reversal of the
8:56
previous queue
8:58
of the previous cycle using what you
9:01
understand from the function of q1 Q2
9:04
should then accumulate
9:06
resulting in high range price action Q3
9:10
would then be your manipulation phase
9:12
over the rules for the true opens are
9:15
static they don't change
9:17
the opening price of Q2 will always be
9:20
its true open so if the profile that
9:23
you're looking at is X AMD
9:26
even though
9:27
accumulation takes place during Q2
9:30
you will use the opening price of Q2
9:33
which is a true open to gauge the Judas
9:37
ring which represents itself more times
9:39
than not in Q3
9:42
the last phase will be the distribution
9:44
phase which will be the easiest phase to
9:46
trade in regards to X A and D
9:50
hopefully this was insightful I'll talk
9:53
with you guys whenever I make another
