Range-bound consolidation where smart money accumulates positions2. **Manipulation Day** - Liquidity sweeps and stop-hunts creating high-probability reversal setups3. **Distribution Day** - Trending continuation where positions are distributedThe strategy automatically detects these phases through price action and provides clear entry signals during the highest-probability setups.---## 🔧 KEY FEATURES### ✅ Automated Session Tracking- **Asian Session** (00:00-05:00 GMT) -
