What is Quarterly Theory?
The market moves in four nested quarters, across every timeframe. Here is the whole framework — in plain language, with visuals that move as you read.
Read the guide ✓ ReadReading True Opens
Premium, discount, and the level that sets the bias for the day, the week and beyond.
SSMT — divergence is the key
When one asset breaks the prior-quarter extreme and a correlated one refuses.
PSP — Precision Swing Points
The three-candle reversal that adds confluence once divergence has confirmed the bias.
What is Quarter Sequence?
Quarterly Theory, read in sequence — the nested quarters stacked into chains, and why it matters.
Read the guide ✓ ReadSMT, SSMT & QS SMT
Divergence, named three ways — the classic SMT, the SSMT that reads it across a quarter boundary, and the QS SMT that only counts once a chain is live behind it.
CISD, tCISD & qCISD
The confirmation, named three ways — ICT’s CISD, the Quarterly Theory community’s tCISD, and the qCISD that confirms a chain-qualified key.
Timing — when to be at the desk
The framework is a clock before it is anything else. Which windows are worth watching, which are dead time, and why that beats screen-watching all session.
These land as each indicator publishes. Nothing to read here yet — the guides above are the place to start.
