HTF Power of Three
The candles of a HIGHER timeframe on the right of the chart, the last one forming live: ICT's Power of Three (PO3), as on TradingView.
Real example in the platform
HTF Power of Three on the NQ, 5-minute candles built from real ticks (October 16, 2026, Rithmic feed) — a screenshot of the platform itself, factory settings.
What it does
- Draws the higher-timeframe candles (by default, 2 one-hour candles) right after the last bar, on the same price scale.
- Links the OPEN, HIGH and LOW of the current candle, with dashed lines, to the bar of your chart where each one happened.
- Shows the timeframe and the countdown to the close on top of each column, and the time of each candle and the range below.
- Works on any chart (time, Renko, Range, Tick): the higher-timeframe candles are built from the ticks.
Options
- Higher timeframe: Automatic (follows the chart timeframe), 1m to 4h, Daily (CME 18:00 or New York midnight) and Weekly; or the higher candle in Renko, Range or Tick.
- Up to 3 timeframes side by side, 1 to 10 candles.
- Open, high and low lines (color and dash), also on closed candles, and the vertical line at the open.
- Prices on the side, delta of each candle, range in points or ticks, tags on the price scale and the previous range with the 50% and the quarters.
- Candles or OHLC bars, hollow forming candle, widths, spacing and colors.
How to read
- Accumulation: price moves sideways near the open.
- Manipulation: the false move against, which becomes the wick.
- Distribution: the real move, which becomes the body. Price above the open = the higher candle is forming bullish; below = bearish.
