Description
Smart Money Technique (SMT) Divergence is an advanced institutional trading concept where correlated instruments fail to confirm each other's price movements. When one asset makes a higher high while its correlated pair makes a lower high (or vice versa), it signals potential market manipulation and smart money positioning - often preceding major reversals.
Key Features
🎯 Automatic Pair Detection
- Zero Configuration Required: Automatically detects and loads the correlated pair for your current symbol
- Extensive Coverage: Supports 30+ pre-configured pairs across:
- Forex Majors (EUR/USD ↔ GBP/USD, AUD/USD ↔ NZD/USD, EUR/JPY ↔ GBP/JPY, etc.)
- Precious Metals (Gold ↔ Silver, XAU/USD ↔ XAG/USD)
- Stock Indices (US30 ↔ NAS100, GER40 ↔ UK100, SPX500 ↔ NAS100)
- Cryptocurrencies (BTC/USD ↔ ETH/USD)
- Broker-Agnostic: Intelligent symbol normalization handles different broker naming conventions (e.g., GBPUSD, GBPUSDm, GBPUSD.r)
📊 Dual SMT Detection Modes
Bearish SMT (Sell Signals)
- Detects when main chart makes Higher High while correlated pair makes Lower High
- Detects when main chart makes Lower High while correlated pair makes Higher High
- Signals potential downside reversal and smart money distribution
Bullish SMT (Buy Signals)
- Detects when main chart makes Lower Low while correlated pair makes Higher Low
- Detects when main chart makes Higher Low while correlated pair makes Lower Low
- Signals potential upside reversal and smart money accumulation
