Description

SMC Algo Warrior reads market structure the way smart money traders do. It finds swing highs and

lows, marks every break of them as a break of structure (BOS) or a change of character (CHoCH), draws

an order block from the candle behind each break, and prints a buy or sell arrow when price returns to

an order block and rejects it. Every arrow arrives with an entry, a stop loss and two take-profit

levels.


WHAT IT DRAWS


- Break lines: a dotted line labelled BOS when a break continues the structure, a solid line labelled

CHoCH when it reverses it. Upward and downward breaks each have their own colour.

- Order blocks: a box over the candle with the lowest low before an upward break, or the highest high

before a downward one, extended to the right while it stays valid. A close through a block

mitigates it: by default the block is removed; if you keep mitigated blocks, it turns grey and no longer

extends.

- Arrows: an up arrow under the bar for a buy, a down arrow over the bar for a sell.

- Levels for every arrow: an entry line at the close, a stop line, and TP1 and TP2 lines, each with a

price tag, running twenty bars to the right by default. The five most recent sets stay on the chart.


HOW IT DECIDES


A swing high is a bar whose high is not exceeded by the five bars before it and is higher than each of

the five after it; a swing low is the mirror image. Five is the swing length, and a swing is confirmed

five bars after its own bar. An upward break is the first close above the last unbroken swing high, a

downward break the first close below the last unbroken swing low. A break against the current

structure is a CHoCH and turns it; a break in its direction is a BOS.


The order block of an upward break is the candle with the lowest low since the last swing low, at most

100 bars back; for a downward break, the candle with the highest high since the last swing high. Up to

four blocks of each side stay active, and older ones are removed.


A buy prints when a bullish block is retested: a later bar reaches down into the block, closes as a

bullish candle and does not close below the block. A sell is the mirror image. With the structure

filter on, which is the default, a buy needs a bullish structure and a sell a bearish one. Each block

gives at most one signal, and each bar at most one buy and one sell.


The stop sits below the lower of the block's low edge and the signal bar's low, plus a 0.2 ATR

buffer (above the higher of the two for a sell). TP1 and TP2 sit at one and two times that risk from the

entry. All of it is adjustable.


Everything is decided when a bar closes. Nothing is drawn on the forming bar, and an arrow never

disappears once it has printed.


KEY SETTINGS


61 settings in nine sections: the swing length and which breaks to draw; order blocks on every break or

only on a CHoCH, the structure filter, how many blocks stay active and whether a mitigated block is

removed or kept; the arrows; the ATR length, the stop buffer, the two risk-reward multiples, the second

target on or off, how many bars the levels run, how many sets stay and whether the tags show prices;

thirteen colours;

and groups for display, alerts, the webhook and diagnostics.


ALERTS AND WEBHOOK


Four events, each with its own switch: buy, sell, bullish CHoCH and bearish CHoCH. Delivered as a log

line, a sound of your choice and e-mail, and a test on start checks your settings without waiting for

a signal. Nothing fires while the indicator walks the chart's history, and nothing fires in a backtest.


A webhook posts the same four events, each with its own switch, to any address you enter: a trading

bot, a journal, a relay, an automation flow. Choose a JSON body with the prices, the structure trend

and the trade levels, the plain alert sentence, or your own template with seventeen placeholders. Add

an authorisation header and one more header of your own. A post that gets no success answer is sent

again, and a test on start checks the address. It stays off until you enter one, it is sent once per

event per bar, capped at twenty messages a minute, and a failure is logged rather than thrown. It

sends through cTrader's own networking service, which is why the indicator needs no file or network

access rights at all.


TYPE AND WINDOW


An overlay indicator: everything is drawn on the price chart, and it adds no separate pane.


TIMEFRAMES AND INSTRUMENTS


Any timeframe from one minute to daily and any instrument. Swings and breaks are read from the chart's

own bars, the stop buffer is measured in that chart's ATR, and prices are written to your broker's own

tick. Higher timeframes show the larger structure, lower ones more breaks and more retests; it was

checked most on M5, M15 and H1. When it attaches, the indicator loads at least 5,000 bars of the

chart's history so the structure has a past to build on.


USE CASES


- Reading market structure at a glance: which way it runs and where it last turned.

- Marking order blocks as zones to watch for a return.

- Taking retests only in the direction of the structure.

- Planning each trade in advance: entry, stop and two targets drawn when the arrow prints.

- Being told by log line, sound, e-mail or webhook when the structure turns or a retest prints.


WHO IT IS FOR


Traders who work with smart money concepts - structure, BOS, CHoCH and order blocks - and want them

drawn consistently by fixed rules, and anyone who wants a retest signal to come with a stop and

targets rather than an arrow alone.


TECHNICAL NOTES AND LIMITATIONS


Access rights: none. The indicator cannot read files, start processes or open connections of its own.


It is a charting and analysis tool. It does not place orders and it has no access to your account.


The levels are a plan drawn when the arrow prints. The indicator does not follow them or report

whether they are reached. Swings come from your broker's candles, so another feed with other highs

and lows can draw other structure. By default the chart keeps the newest 500 lines, 500 labels and

200 boxes, so the oldest structure retires on a long chart; a switch keeps all of it. Five outputs -

buy, sell, both CHoCH events and the structure trend - let a cBot read the signals.

Summary

AI summary
SMC Algo Warrior is a market structure indicator designed for traders using smart money concepts. It identifies swing highs and lows on any timeframe from one minute to daily and marks breaks as either Break of Structure (BOS) or Change of Character (CHoCH). The indicator draws order blocks based on these breaks and highlights retest buy or sell signals with arrows on the price chart. Each signal includes predefined entry, stop loss, and two take-profit levels, all adjustable.

Key visual elements include colored break lines (dotted for BOS, solid for CHoCH), order block boxes extended while valid, and arrows indicating trade signals. The indicator uses a fixed swing length of five bars to confirm swings and determines breaks by closes beyond previous swing highs or lows. It supports filtering trades to align with the current market structure and manages up to four active order blocks per direction.

SMC Algo Warrior offers extensive customization with 61 settings covering swing detection, order block behavior, risk parameters, colors, alerts, and webhook integration. Alerts and webhook notifications can be configured for buy, sell, and structure change events, facilitating integration with external tools or automation.

This overlay indicator works on any instrument and timeframe, loading historical data to build structure context. It does not place orders but serves as a charting and analysis tool to assist in planning trades based on smart money principles.

November 8, 2026
SMC Algo Warrior delivered clear BOS/CHoCH structure, bullish and bearish order blocks, and complete Entry/SL/TP1/TP2 plans across EURUSD and XAUUSD on H1 and M1. Long and short level geometry remained consistent and rendering stayed stable even on dense M1 charts. No critical defects were observed.

The order block retest plan follows BOS and CHoCH rather than appearing as an isolated arrow. Entry, stop and 2 targets make the sequence useful to inspect. Swing confirmation and block validity still determine when that historical looking setup actually becomes available.
