The market operates on a **Cycle**. Just like the human body has a sleep cycle, the **Interbank Algorithm** has a processing cycle that operates in **90-Minute Macros**.
If you enter a trade *during* a Macro, your trade will move instantly. If you enter *outside* a Macro, you will sit in drawdown. This guide is your "Timetable" for **precision risk control**.
1. What is a Macro? (The 90-Minute Processing Window)
A "Macro" is a specific window (usually **20 minutes**) where the algorithm executes a program.
For 70 minutes, the market drifts and builds liquidity. Then, for 20 minutes (The Macro), the market **Runs** to take that liquidity.

2. The Quarterly Theory (Micro Cycles)
Within every 90-minute cycle, the market executes 4 distinct phases (Quarters), creating a mini-AMD (Accumulation-Manipulation-Distribution) cycle.

3. The Macro Strategy Flow (Time The Sweep)
We combine the **Liquidity Grab** concept with the Macro Time. This discipline is essential for **Risk Control**.

4. Time Discipline and Final Thoughts
Trading only during these windows is the ultimate form of **risk management**. You actively avoid low-volume, choppy periods (like the **Lunch Lull** at 12:00 PM NY) where unnecessary losses occur.
- **Discipline:** Never chase a move at minute :58 or :59. Wait for the new hourly candle to open, fake out, and then go.
- **Final Insight:** Time is the X-axis of the chart. By syncing your trades with the **90-minute Macros**, you are swimming with the algorithmic tide.
Patience gets paid. The sniper waits for the target to walk into the crosshairs; he doesn't run around the field chasing it. Monitor the structural flow of the market via the Realtime Market Dashboard.
