Description
SMC Trading Robot v2.4 – Precision Smart Money Concept Automation
Trade like institutions: identify structure breaks, wait for a pullback into a Fair Value Gap or Order Block, and enter with strict risk control. This cBot brings professional SMC logic to cTrader with an intuitive dashboard and robust safeguards.
Key Features
- Smart Money Concepts Core – Real‑time detection of swing highs/lows, bullish/bearish market structure, Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH).
- Retracement Entry Engine – Instead of chasing breakouts, the robot waits for price to retrace into the nearest FVG or Order Block before executing. This improves entry precision and reduces false signals.
- Multi‑Timeframe Filter – Optional higher timeframe (default H4) trend alignment to trade only in the direction of the bigger picture.
- Momentum & Structure Agreement – Three EMAs (10/20/40) define local momentum, which must align with persistent market structure before any trade.
- Liquidity Target TP – Use the most recent swing high/low as an alternative take‑profit if it offers a better RR than the fixed ratio.
- Smart Trailing Stop – A 3‑phase trailing logic locks in profits as market structure develops, moving the stop loss behind confirmed swings.
- Built‑in Risk Controls:
- Fixed % risk per trade with automatic lot sizing (verified against minimum/maximum volume limits)
- Hard cap on per‑trade risk – rejects trades that would exceed the set maximum due to lot granularity
- Daily loss limit and maximum drawdown protection (stops the bot)
- Maximum trades per day and maximum spread filter
- Cross‑direction guard – only one position per symbol at a time
- Real‑Time Dashboard – Shows trend, structure, BOS/CHoCH status, ATR, spread, daily drawdown, trailing phase, and pending retracement setup directly on the chart.

How It Works
- The bot continuously tracks swing points and builds a persistent market structure.
- When a BOS or CHoCH is detected in alignment with momentum and (optionally) the higher timeframe, it arms a retracement setup.
- It scans the last N bars for the nearest Fair Value Gap or Order Block zone.
- Price must pull back into that zone within a configurable number of bars – only then a trade is triggered.
- Entry, stop loss (behind the relevant swing), and take profit (RR or liquidity target) are placed automatically.
- As the trade progresses, the trailing stop follows new swing levels, locking in gains.
What’s New in v2.0
- Retracement‑gated entries – no more instant breakout chasing; entries only after a pullback into a key SMC zone.
- Cross‑direction guard – prevents holding opposing positions on the same symbol.
- Sizing verification fix – volume calculations now correctly use
Symbol.PipValue, with a hard cap check that can reject trades if the minimum lot would risk too much. - Improved logging and dashboard clarity for pending setups.
Important Notes
- The bot is designed for prop‑firm / risk‑managed trading and respects daily limits.
- It requires a decent ATR (configurable minimum) to avoid low‑volatility whipsaw.
- For best results, test on major forex pairs or indices with clear swings (EURUSD, GBPUSD, US30, etc.) on M15‑H1 timeframes.
