Strategy overview

Power of Three describes price moving through three phases — accumulation, manipulation, and distribution — and this entry decodes a version that does not trade the framework on its own. The video pairs it with Turtle Soup, the failed-breakout idea where price pushes through an obvious high or low, fails to hold, and reverses back inside. Power of Three supplies the context for where a reversal should be expected; Turtle Soup supplies the event that confirms it. The pairing is the point: one concept answers *where*, the other answers *when*.

The presenter, on the Spanish-language channel Jackofxc, arrives at that combination after a change of instrument that the video spends real time justifying — several early sections explain the move away from Forex toward indices and futures, landing on New York open volatility as the reason. That choice shapes everything after it: a modified reading of Power of Three built on 3-hour candles rather than full trading sessions, with the candle preceding the open acting as the reference the setup is measured against, and a private indicator used to mark those levels on the chart automatically rather than to generate signals.

The video's title claims a high rate of passed funded-account evaluations with this approach — a claim made by the channel, not something verified here. This page covers the concept and how the source video frames it; the material is presented as a conceptual walkthrough rather than a rule-by-rule system, so it is best treated as a lens for reading the open rather than a finished, testable set of entries.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Turtle Soup setup in trading?

Turtle Soup is a failed-breakout concept: price breaks a prominent high or low, fails to continue, and reverses back inside the prior range — the break is read as a stop run rather than the start of a trend. In this video it functions as the trigger that confirms the manipulation phase of Power of Three.

Why does this version of Power of Three use a 3-hour candle?

The presenter compresses the phase reading into a higher-timeframe candle instead of mapping a full trading session, so the levels that matter around the New York open sit on a single reference bar. Execution is then discussed on a much lower timeframe.

Why does the video switch from Forex to indices and futures?

The presenter argues that the volatility concentrated around the New York open on index and futures markets suits this approach better than Forex. Roughly the first third of the video is spent on that reasoning before the strategy itself is introduced.

Does this approach require the channel's private indicator?

The video uses a private indicator to mark the relevant reference levels on the chart, but its role as presented is visual rather than signal-generating — the same levels can be marked by hand.
