"AMT" sounds large and nebulous. It may be.
At this point in time I'm using it as an expanded way of understanding 'chop'... that is, the times I don't want to be trading. Times I'd likely be just going in and out of trades.
Here is a 10 min video that simplifies AMT...

It is apparently by a kid 13 years old at the time of posting.

Actually it's about Market Profile, which used to be about the same thing more or less but then lost it's way due to marketing and products and vendors and general nonsense. The AMT stuff posted to the Ghost thread (160) is in line with what I've been talking about.
I will review your 160 again.
Somehow the kid's visuals stuck in my head. And recognizing market profiles gave me a grasp perhaps of some underpinning of AMT. I had not quite made the connection between profiles and AMT before. The whole thing just makes more sense now.
I think the part that impressed me the most was his diagram where he talked about trading the extremes and not in the middle so much.
My take away was getting in and staying in.
Not that you can not use SLA to find entries and exits anywhere unless in a tight range or choppy chop.
But where I went with this was to temporarily consider everything that wasn't at the extremes as chop... which has been interesting to sit with for awhile. While I can apply SLA in between extremes, I sense thinking this way moves me towards being able to eventually trade higher time intervals. And being more comfortable sticking in trades along the way. ...it's an emotional move to comfort with sticking... more than a logical position.
Obviously a lot of what the kid says is to the side of where I want to be. And his other videos become a morass of indicators and such. I'd better go look at you AMT statements again. Thanks.

Don't over-salt it and you should be okay.
