How PAT reads the market

Three stages. One chart.

PAT for TradingView is one indicator on an ordinary candle chart. It follows the Market Maker Method — Accumulation, Manipulation and Distribution — so you can see what the market is building, rather than wait for a signal to tell you what to do.

Accumulation.

It begins quietly, before the obvious move. Price holds its ground while the market is prepared, and the candles still look ordinary. The campaign is being built, not yet released.

Manipulation.

A move designed to catch traders who are only watching price — a shakeout, a trap, a moment that looks like the trend just failed.

Distribution.

The real move, also taught as Profit Release. Price leaves the ground it was held in and travels. PAT does not predict that journey. It keeps the stage visible on the candle chart, so you can recognise distribution while it is still developing.

On the candle chart

Read the market as it develops

These are readings, not a kit of mechanical signals. None of them is an order to trade.

Ray Lines

Strength sits above the line and weakness below. Watch whether price establishes itself around the line — which side it accepts, and which side it cannot hold.

Purple Dots

A purple dot draws attention to a moment worth watching. It is not a buy or sell instruction.

Pressure Points

A yellow arrow identifies a meaningful change in market behaviour. Look at what just changed. The arrow is not an automatic trade signal.

Trading Sessions

Asia, Sydney, London and New York. Each session shows its historical high-to-low box, with Average and Current range figures, so you can see how far that session has already stretched.
