SMC One Candle + AMD Bias (CT Focus)This indicator is a specialized Smart Money Concepts (SMC) tool designed for QQQ on the 5-minute chart. It fuses Tony Trades' "One Candle Rule" execution with the AMD (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution) cycle logic found in your previous CRT Pro V2 script.
The primary goal of this indicator is to identify high-probability entries during the Purge Window (9:00 AM – 11:30 AM CT) by detecting when price manipulates morning liquidity before expanding in the direction of the daily bias.
## Core Components
### 1. Master Candle Range (Accumulation)
Timeframe: 05:00 AM – 09:00 AM CT.
Function: It automatically plots the Master High (CRH) and Master Low (CRL). This represents the "Accumulation" phase where orders are built up before the New York open.
### 2. The One Candle Zone (Execution)
Timeframe: 08:35 AM CT (The 5-minute candle immediately following the high-volatility open).
Function: It creates a blue "Value Zone" based on Tony Trades’ logic. This zone acts as the ultimate filter—price must reclaim or break this zone to confirm that the "Manipulation" phase is over and the "Distribution" has begun.
### 3. Multi-Timeframe Daily Bias
Calculation: It tracks the midpoint (Equilibrium) of the previous day's range.
Premium/Discount:
Bullish (Discount): Price is trading above the daily midpoint.
Bearish (Premium): Price is trading below the daily midpoint.
Logic: Signals are filtered by this bias to ensure you are always trading with the higher-timeframe flow.
## Signal Logic Descriptions
### SMC Long (Bullish Distribution)
A Long signal is generated when:
Bias: The Daily Bias is Bullish.
Manipulation: Price has ideally swept the Master Low (CRL) during the open.
The Trigger: A 5-minute candle closes above the 08:35 AM "One Candle" High.
Confirmation: This suggests shorts are trapped and Smart Money is distributing price toward the Previous Day High (PDH).
### SMC Short (Bearish Distribution)
A Short signal is generated when:
Bias: The Daily Bias is Bearish.
Manipulation: Price has ideally swept the Master High (CRH).
The Trigger: A 5-minute candle closes below the 08:35 AM "One Candle" Low.
Confirmation: This confirms a rejection of the opening range, signaling a move toward the Previous Day Low (PDL) or the current Low of Day.
