SmartMoneyConcepts is an indicator for the cTrader platform designed to automate institutional market analysis based on Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and ICT methodologies. It analyzes price action in real-time to map market structure, identify key trading zones, and grade order blocks using an advanced algorithm. The indicator automatically detects Breaks of Structure (BOS), Change of Character (CHoCH), swing points, liquidity sweeps, and Fair Value Gaps (FVG), filtering and displaying only the most relevant zones. It grades bullish and bearish order blocks by volume, body size, and price displacement, helping traders prioritize high-probability setups.
Key features include a Premium & Discount Matrix that highlights buy and sell zones, and an on-screen confluence dashboard showing order flow direction, active order blocks, and a confluence score to assist entry decisions. The tool offers customization options for swing sensitivity, FVG thresholds, and visual settings. It also includes a mitigation system to define when zones are considered tested or invalidated.
Users apply the indicator to their charts to quickly assess market bias and identify trade entries by combining graded order blocks with fair value gaps, using CHoCH as confirmation. This visual analysis tool aims to streamline institutional-level market structure analysis without manual drawing.
