The characteristics of the quarterly theoretical ICT 01 indicators are shown in the table below.

List of Quarterly Theoretical ICT 01 Indicators

In the Quarterly Theory ICT 01 indicator, each time frame (based on the user's selection in the settings) is divided into four equal parts, called "quarters".

Each segment represents a stage of market behavior:

• Accumulation stage (Q1): market integration and preparation for next steps;
• Manipulation phase (Q2): the beginning of the real trend, accompanied by sudden fluctuations;
• Distribution phase (Q3): Prices are widely distributed;
• Continuation or reversal phase (Q4): Return or continuation of the previous trend.

Bullish Trend

Based on the USD/CHF chart on the 5-minute time frame, the Quarterly Theoretical ICT 01 indicator segments the time periods on the chart based on the selected settings.

As shown in the chart, price action begins with an accumulation phase, followed by deceptive moves to absorb liquidity during a manipulation phase.

After that, the price entered the distribution stage and saw a sharp increase.

Bearish Trend

The CAD/JPY chart on the 1-minute time frame shows how this indicator performs during a bearish market trend.

It can be seen from the chart that four consecutive periods appear sequentially, and the price response conforms to the characteristics of each stage.
