- 🔷 What is Smart Money Concepts (SMC)?
- SMC is a price-action framework focused on how institutional “smart money” accumulates and distributes positions.
- It replaces basic patterns with a logical map of market structure (BOS/CHoCH), liquidity (EQH/EQL), Order Blocks (OB), Fair Value Gaps (FVG), and premium/discount zones to anticipate likely continuations or reversals.
- 🚀 What this indicator does
- Detects Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH) in both swing and internal structure.
- Draws Order Blocks (OB) and Fair Value Gaps (FVG) as semi-transparent zones (RGBA colors—opacity is fully user-controlled).
- Marks Equal Highs/Equal Lows (EQH/EQL) to show liquidity pools.
- Labels Strong/Weak High/Low so you can see which side is likely to be targeted or protected.
- Plots Premium/Equilibrium/Discount zones across the current swing range for value-area context.
- Overlays Daily/Weekly/Monthly highs & lows for multi-timeframe confluence.
- Offers Present/Historical drawing modes and Monochrome/Colored styles.
- 🧭 How to use it (practical workflow)
- 1) Read structure first:
- Look for BOS/CHoCH on swing and internal levels to establish bias.
- A bullish BOS + internal BOS often signals continuation; a CHoCH warns of potential reversal.
- 2) Map imbalances and blocks:
- Use FVG as “efficiency targets” where price often rebalances.
- Use OB as likely mitigation zones where entries can form (e.g., limit or confirmation entries).
- 3) Align with liquidity:
- Watch EQH/EQL for liquidity sweeps; the sweep + BOS is a strong SMC narrative.
- Note Strong/Weak High/Low to gauge which side is vulnerable.
- 4) Add confluence:
- Check premium/discount: buy setups are higher-probability in discount; sell setups in premium.
- Add MTF levels (D/W/M) and your own session timing for precision.
- 5) Execute and manage:
- Entries: OB mitigation or FVG fills with structure alignment.
- Stops: beyond the invalidation of the OB/FVG or the most recent strong pivot.
- Targets: opposite liquidity, opposing OB/FVG, or equilibrium of the swing.
- ⚙️ Key settings you control
- Mode: Historical vs Present (clean real-time look).
- Structure filters: Show BOS/CHoCH for swing vs internal; label sizes; optional confluence (wick logic).
- OB/FVG colors: Choose any RGBA color; the alpha channel sets transparency directly.
- Counts/limits: Max number of visible OBs; FVG extension; EQH/EQL sensitivity.
- MTF levels: Toggle Daily/Weekly/Monthly and pick line styles.
- Style: Colored or Monochrome, plus optional candle coloring by trend.
- 🧩 Why traders like it
- 1:1 parity logic with the popular TradingView SMC approach (BOS/CHoCH, OB/FVG parity).
- Clean visuals: zones and labels stay readable and update smoothly in real time.
- Flexible: works for scalping to swing trading, on any symbol or timeframe supported by cTrader.
- ✅ Best practices
- Combine SMC context with risk management and a clear playbook (entry, stop, target rules).
- Use alerts or watchlists around HTF levels and session opens for higher-quality moves.
- Always validate with market session and news calendar to avoid random volatility.
- 📌 Notes
- Visuals depend on broker data (bid feeds/sessions can vary).
- This tool is not financial advice; trading involves risk. Use on a demo account before going live.
