# OHLC Expansion Map™

Market movements are rarely random. Institutional algorithmic price delivery often follows specific patterns of **Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution (AMD)**, also known as the **Power of Three (PO3)**.

The OHLC Expansion Map analyzes historical data to identify the "behavioral norm" for any given asset. By understanding how price has expanded in the past relative to its opening price, you can predict with high statistical probability where manipulation is likely to end and distribution is likely to occur.

### Key Features

* **Multi-Timeframe Statistics:** Map expansion ranges for Weekly, Daily, 4-Hour, and 1-Hour timeframes simultaneously.
* **Session & Macro Precision:** Specific logic for Asia, London, NY AM, and NY PM sessions, including dedicated ICT Macro windows.
* **Behavioral Levels:** Proprietary calculations using mean and median historical ranges to identify high-probability reversal and target zones.
* **Volatility-Adjusted Zones:** Dynamic boxes that adjust to current market volatility (ATR) to project expansion potential.
* **Real Volume Profile:** Integration of tick-level volume data to identify Value Areas and Points of Control.

Whether you are an ICT student, a SMC (Smart Money Concepts) trader, or a statistical analyst, the OHLC Expansion Map provides the objective data needed to remove guesswork from your trading. It transforms subjective "bias" into objective "probability."
