Time Theory is the understanding that markets don't move randomly—they follow predictable time-based patterns controlled by institutional traders. While most retail traders focus solely on price action, professional traders know that timing is everything. The same setup that fails during low-volume hours can produce massive wins during institutional killzones.

This hub teaches you how to integrate time-based analysis with Candle Range Theory for maximum edge. You'll learn Quarterly Theory for macro cycles, session timing for daily bias, killzones for precise entries, and the Power of 3 structure for intraday manipulation patterns.

Whether you're trading Wyckoff accumulation phases, hunting liquidity grabs, or managing prop firm challenges, understanding when institutional money flows is the difference between guessing and trading with confidence.
