Smart Money Concepts [Kodexius]Smart Money Concepts is a price action framework designed to integrate market structure, liquidity behavior, and inefficiencies into a single, readable view. Rather than acting as a signal generator, it serves as a live market map highlighting where price has displaced, where liquidity may be resting, which zones remain valid, and how that context updates as new candles print.
What separates this script from typical “SMC bundles” is not the presence of familiar concepts like swings, order blocks, FVGs or liquidity sweeps. The value is in the engine design and how the components are maintained together as a consistent state, with automatic pruning and prioritization so the chart stays usable over time. Many tools can draw boxes, but fewer tools manage the lifecycle of those zones, reduce overlap, rank relevance, and keep the display focused on what still matters near current price.
At the core is a structure model that tracks directional state and labels structural transitions as they happen. CHoCH and BoS are not just printed whenever price crosses a line. Each event is anchored to a swing reference and handled in a way that reduces repeated triggers from the same context, helping you see genuine transitions versus minor noise. This gives structure a “narrative” across time instead of a cluttered sequence of identical labels.
Order blocks are built from the most relevant candle within the post break window and displayed as true zones that extend forward while they remain valid. Beyond the zone itself, the script adds context that is usually missing in basic OB implementations: a volumetric pressure visualization and a displacement strength score that is normalized and ranked over a rolling window. In practice, this creates an information hierarchy. You can quickly see which zones carried more participation, whether the internal push was dominated by buying or selling pressure, and whether the move that created the zone had meaningful displacement relative to recent history. This is designed to help prioritization, not to claim prediction.
Imbalances are handled as a dedicated module with multiple detection modes (FVG, VI, OG, IFVG) and optional MTF logic so you can map inefficiencies from a higher timeframe while executing on a lower timeframe. Each imbalance is displayed as a zone with a midline reference, and mitigation behavior can be tuned (wick or close). IFVG adds lifecycle depth by tracking inversion behavior rather than simply deleting the zone, which can be useful for monitoring how price rebalances and flips inefficiencies over time. An optional sentiment style internal fill is available for visual context, but it is intentionally framed as informational rather than a “buy/sell meter.”
Liquidity is treated as an event driven layer. Pivot highs and lows are tracked as potential liquidity pools, then monitored for sweeps and rejection behavior. If you enable EQH/EQL logic, the script can label equal highs and lows during the sweep process to highlight common resting liquidity formations. A volume filter is available to reduce low quality levels, aiming to keep the liquidity map focused on swings that occurred with meaningful participation rather than every small fluctuation.
Swing Failure Patterns (SFP) are included as a separate confirmation style tool that focuses on rejection after liquidity is taken. The module supports optional volume validation using lower timeframe volume distribution outside the swing level, which helps filter some low quality SFPs on noisy instruments. The output is a cleaner set of events intended to complement structure, liquidity and zones, not replace discretionary decision making.
For higher timeframe context, the HTF candle projection panel can display a compact set of higher timeframe candles to the right of current price, with classic or Heikin Ashi style and configurable sizing, spacing and labels. This allows you to maintain HTF awareness without switching charts, which is especially helpful when structure and zones are being interpreted across multiple timeframes.
Finally, the alert framework is designed around well defined structural and zone states. Alerts cover structural shifts (CHoCH, BoS), liquidity sweeps, new and broken order blocks, breaker behavior (if enabled), new and approached imbalances, premium and discount entries, trendline events, and SFP detection. These alerts are intended as monitoring prompts so you can review context, not as automated trade execution signals.
Every major component is modular and configurable. You can run a minimal structure only layout or enable a full framework with zones, imbalances, liquidity, SFP and HTF projection. The guiding principle is chart clarity and relevance: keep the most important information visible, reduce overlap and stale objects, and maintain a consistent view of how price is interacting with liquidity and value over time.
🔹 Features
🔸 Market Structure Engine (CHoCH and BoS)
This script automatically tracks zigzag based market structure and differentiates between:
CHoCH (Change of Character) : the first meaningful structural shift that suggests the prior directional leg is weakening.
BoS (Break of Structure) : continuation breaks that confirm structure extension in the active direction.
Instead of relying on plain pivot dots, our market structure swings are built with a lightweight zigzag style engine that tracks direction and “locks in” the true leg extreme only when the leg flips. This produces cleaner, more consistent swing highs/lows for BOS/CHoCH than simple left/right pivot checks.

Bearish CHoCH:
Bullish BoS:

🔸 Order Blocks with Volumetric and Displacement Insight
The script identifies recent bullish and bearish order block zones around meaningful structural reactions and keeps the display focused on the most relevant areas. Instead of drawing a static rectangle and leaving it there forever, each zone is maintained as an active region on the chart and can be limited by a user defined visibility depth to avoid clutter. When enabled, the overlay also adds compact volume based context inside the block so you can quickly compare relative participation between recent zones and see whether the origin move showed strong follow through versus a softer transition. The intention is to provide structured context and cleaner prioritization on the chart, not to present a trade call or a guaranteed reaction level.
Bullish Order Block:
Bearish Order Block:
Order blocks are derived from the structure shifts, marking the institutional “origin zone” behind a decisive move and projecting it forward as a live area of interest. In practice, it highlights the candle cluster where price last rebalanced before expanding away, so you can track potential retests with context instead of guessing.
Inside each order block, the internal bars act as a compact strength meter green vs red summarizes the relative bullish vs bearish participation, while the blue segment reflects the “departure force” (displacement/momentum) away from the zone. It’s meant to help you scan which blocks left clean and strong versus those that moved out more slowly or with mixed pressure.
🔸 Breaker Blocks & Mitigation Tracking
Tracks when previously identified order blocks fail and converts them into breaker blocks, visually marking a change in how price is interacting with that zone.
Bullish Breaker Block :
Bearish Breaker Block :
Separate handling of bullish and bearish breakers with clear color differentiation.
Includes optional “mitigation” logic using either wick or close to determine when a block is considered broken or mitigated.
Breaker blocks are updated and removed dynamically as price trades through them, keeping the chart focused on current, active zones.
🔸 Imbalances
The imbalance module maps common price inefficiencies as zones, with support for multiple detection styles such as Fair Value Gaps, volume style imbalances, opening gaps, and an inverted gap mode. Each imbalance is drawn as a practical area on the chart with a midpoint reference, so you can quickly see where price may be revisiting unbalanced movement. You can also choose how mitigation is evaluated (wick or close) and optionally run imbalance detection on a separate timeframe for cleaner higher timeframe context while staying on your execution chart.
Fair Value Gaps:
Inverse Fair Value Gaps:
Opening Gaps:
🔸 Liquidity Sweeps, EQH/EQL, and Optional Volume Filter
Liquidity levels are derived from swing highs and lows and then monitored for sweep behavior, where price trades beyond a prior level and rejects back. If you enable EQH/EQL marking, the script can highlight equal highs and equal lows behavior around those liquidity areas to make common pool formations easier to spot. An optional volume filter can be used to reduce tracking of low participation swings, helping keep the liquidity layer focused and less noisy on instruments that produce frequent small pivots.
Sellside Liquidity Sweep Definition:
Buyside Liquidity Sweep Definition:
Highlights equal highs (EQH) and equal lows (EQL) when sweeps occur, marking where price probed above/below prior liquidity and then rejected.
Optional volume filter to ignore low volume swings and focus on more meaningful liquidity zones.
🔸 Premium, Discount, and Equilibrium
The premium and discount view provides a simple contextual map of where price is trading within a measured range, alongside an optional equilibrium line as a midpoint reference. This is intended as a higher level framing tool to help you avoid treating every price location the same, especially when combining structure with reaction zones. Price labels can be enabled for quick orientation, and the display updates as the underlying range evolves.
Projects premium and discount bands based on a dynamically measured range, offering a simple view of where price is trading relative to that range.
Draws separate Premium and Discount boxes with optional price labels for quick orientation.
Optional mid line (equilibrium) to visualize the “50%” of the current range, often used as a reference for balanced versus extended price.
Zones auto update as the underlying range evolves, with logic to prevent stale levels from cluttering the chart.
🔸 Trend Channels
When enabled, the trend module draws swing based diagonal structure using trendlines and a channel style visualization. You can tune sensitivity and choose whether the source should be depending on how you prefer to read trend behavior. The channel is maintained dynamically so you can keep directional context without manually drawing and constantly adjusting diagonal lines, and the script can highlight basic break behavior when price pushes beyond the active diagonal reference.
🔸 Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) Detector
The SFP module highlights common swing failure behavior, where price briefly trades beyond a swing level and then reclaims it, often reflecting a liquidity grab followed by rejection. Bullish and bearish SFPs can be enabled independently, and the display is designed to keep the key level and the rejection visible without excessive clutter. Optional volume validation can be used as a filter, so you can choose whether you want the detector to be more permissive or more selective based on participation characteristics.
🔸 HTF Candle Projection Panel
The HTF panel projects a compact set of higher timeframe candles to the right of price, giving you higher timeframe context without switching charts. You can select classic candles or Heikin Ashi style, adjust the scale and spacing, and optionally display reference lines and labels for OHLC values. This is a visual context tool intended to support multi timeframe reading, not a replacement for your own higher timeframe analysis.
In addition to projecting higher timeframe candles, the HTF panel can also detect and visualize higher timeframe liquidity sweeps directly within the projected candle set. The script monitors each completed HTF candle’s high and low and evaluates subsequent HTF candles for sweep behavior i.e., when price briefly trades beyond a prior HTF extreme but fails to hold acceptance beyond it (filtered using the later candle’s body positioning). When a sweep is detected, the panel draws a dotted sweep line and marks the event, allowing you to spot HTF stop runs and failed breaks without switching timeframes. Sweeps are dynamically invalidated if a later HTF candle shows genuine acceptance beyond that level, ensuring the display stays context relevant and avoids stale markings. This turns the HTF projection from a passive visualization into an actionable context layer for identifying HTF liquidity events while executing on lower timeframes.
🔸 Alerts
Alerts are included for the most practical events produced by the overlay, such as structure shifts (CHoCH and BoS), liquidity sweeps, new and invalidated zones, price approaching recent zones, imbalance creation and mitigation, premium or discount entries, trendline events, and SFP detections. The alerts are designed to function as a monitoring layer so you can be notified when something changes in your mapped context, rather than acting as standalone trade instructions.
🔸 Originality & Usefulness
This script is not a collection of separate SMC drawings layered on top of price. It is built as a unified price action engine where market structure, order blocks, inefficiencies, and liquidity are produced from the same evolving state. That matters because most SMC indicators treat these concepts as independent overlays, which often leads to contradictory markings and excessive clutter. Here, the design priority is consistency and readability: modules update in sync, older elements are managed, and the chart stays usable during live conditions.
A key differentiator is the internal swing logic, which functions like a compact zigzag style structure engine. Instead of reacting to every minor fluctuation, it aims to focus on meaningful swing decisions and treat structure as a sequence. This reduces repetitive labeling and makes structural transitions easier to follow. Structure events are anchored to the swing that defined them and are designed to trigger in a clean, non spammy way, which is critical for anyone who uses structure as a workflow backbone.
The structure layer is intentionally narrative oriented. It separates a transition event from continuation events, so CHoCH is used to highlight the first meaningful shift after an established leg, while BoS is used to mark follow through in the same direction. This is not a prediction claim. It is a clarity feature that helps users read “phase changes” versus “continuation” without constantly second guessing whether the script is just printing noise.
Order blocks are where this script becomes especially distinctive compared to typical SMC tools. Instead of drawing identical rectangles, each block is rendered with an internal gauge that communicates participation and directional dominance at a glance. The zone is visually segmented to reflect bullish and bearish pressure components, and it also carries a volume readout plus a relative weight compared to other recent blocks. This creates a ranked view of blocks rather than an unfiltered pile. In practice, you can prioritize zones faster because the script surfaces which blocks had more meaningful participation and whether the internal push looked one sided or mixed. The result is less subjective filtering and a cleaner chart.
Imbalances are handled as structured inefficiency zones with clear references and optional context. Beyond drawing the zone and midpoint, the script can overlay a sentiment style gauge that divides the imbalance into bullish and bearish portions and updates as new data comes in. The practical value is that you can see whether an inefficiency remains strongly one sided or is gradually being balanced. This turns imbalances from static boxes into a living context layer, which is particularly useful when you monitor reactions over time instead of treating every touch the same.
Liquidity is treated as an event driven tracking system rather than simple pivot plotting. Liquidity pools are identified from swing behavior and can be gated through a participation filter so the script focuses on levels that formed with meaningful activity rather than low quality noise. Once tracked, levels are monitored for outcomes like sweeps and equal high/low behavior, and then updated or retired when they are decisively resolved. This prevents the display from accumulating stale levels and keeps the liquidity layer focused on what is still relevant now.
Swing failure patterns are integrated as selective events rather than continuous spam. The intent is to produce fewer but more structurally meaningful SFPs, aligned with the liquidity narrative, instead of printing clusters around the same price area. This keeps the pattern readable and reinforces the “event based” design philosophy across the script.
Higher timeframe context is supported through a compact HTF projection panel that provides quick orientation without forcing constant timeframe switching. It lets you see where current price action sits inside a larger timeframe candle and range, which helps maintain consistency when you are executing on a lower timeframe but respecting higher timeframe structure.

🔹 How to Use
This tool is designed to support multiple trading styles, but it is most effective when you treat it as a top down mapping and decision support tool. A practical workflow looks like this.
1) Establish higher timeframe bias and context
Start on your reference timeframe such as H4 or Daily and read the market’s dominant story first. Use the Market Structure Engine to identify whether the market is in continuation mode or transition mode. The goal is to avoid executing lower timeframe ideas that conflict with the larger structure narrative.
Use the HTF Candle Projection Panel as a fast orientation aid. It helps you judge whether current price is building acceptance near the highs of the larger candle, rotating back toward its open, or rejecting from its extremes. This is especially useful when you execute on lower timeframes but want to stay aligned with higher timeframe positioning.
Add Premium and Discount framing to understand location. When price is trading in premium, continuation longs are often more selective and require stronger confirmation, while shorts may have better location if structure supports it. When price is in discount, the opposite applies. Treat this as location context, not a rule.
2) Map your key reaction zones with prioritization
Next, build your map of where reactions are most likely to occur. Enable Order Blocks with Volumetric Insight to highlight the most relevant origin zones that form after important structure events. Keep your focus on the most recent blocks and adjust the visible depth so the chart stays clean.
Use the internal gauge and participation readouts to prioritize. Instead of treating every zone as equal, treat higher participation blocks as primary candidates and lower participation blocks as secondary. The bullish and bearish split inside the gauge helps you quickly judge whether the zone formed from a clearly one sided push or a more mixed move, which can inform how strict you want to be with confirmation on a retest.
If you use Breaker Blocks, treat them as role shift zones. They are especially useful when the market has clearly transitioned and you want to track where a previously defended origin area may become a meaningful retest level later.
3) Layer in inefficiencies only where they add clarity
If your workflow includes imbalances, add them selectively to avoid visual overload. Use Fair Value Gaps, Volume Imbalances, or Opening Gaps as secondary reaction areas that often sit inside, near, or between larger zones.
If you enable the internal sentiment gauge, read it as context rather than a signal. It is meant to help you see whether the imbalance remains one sided or has started to balance out as price develops. A strongly one sided presentation can support the idea of continuation through the zone, while a more balanced presentation can support the idea of deeper mitigation or chop. Use it to refine expectations, not to force entries.
4) Track liquidity as events, not as static levels
Enable Liquidity Sweeps and EQH/EQL tagging to highlight where resting liquidity is likely concentrated and when it gets taken. The main value here is narrative: you can see when price runs obvious highs or lows and whether it immediately rejects back into structure or accepts beyond the level.
If you use the volume filter, treat it as a quality gate. The point is to ignore small, low participation swings and keep the liquidity layer focused on levels that formed with meaningful activity. This tends to reduce noise and makes sweeps and equal level behavior more relevant.
Combine the liquidity layer with the Swing Failure Pattern detector to isolate moments where liquidity is taken and then rejected. The cleanest use is when SFPs occur at or near your pre mapped reaction zones, after a sweep, and in alignment with your higher timeframe bias.
5) Refine execution timing on your entry timeframe
Drop to your execution timeframe and use local structure shifts as timing tools. CHoCH and BoS on the lower timeframe can help you see when micro structure is flipping in your intended direction after price interacts with your mapped zone.
If you use the Trend Channel framework, treat it as diagonal context rather than strict support and resistance. A channel helps you see where price is riding the trend and where it is deviating. This can help you time entries by waiting for price to re enter the corridor, show rejection near a boundary, or confirm a shift by building structure outside the channel.
A common practical sequence is: price reaches a mapped OB or imbalance area, liquidity gets taken, price rejects, micro structure begins to flip, and then you execute with your own confirmation and risk rules. The tool helps you see each step clearly, but your plan determines what is sufficient confirmation.
6) Use alerts as monitoring, not as standalone signals
Set alerts only for events that are meaningful to your workflow, such as:
-fresh CHoCH or BoS in your preferred direction
-new or invalidated order blocks and breaker blocks
-price approaching the most recent priority zones
-liquidity sweeps and EQH/EQL interactions
-new SFP events
-entry into premium or discount and interaction with HTF projection levels
-imbalance creation, mitigation, or approach
Treat alerts as prompts to check the chart, not as automatic entries or exits. This script is designed as a mapping and decision support tool. Trade execution, confirmation, and risk management remain entirely dependent on your own strategy and discretion.
🔴 Price Action Practical Notes
💠 Market structure
Market structure is the framework used to describe how price organizes itself into swings. It is built from successive swing highs and swing lows, and it is used to decide whether the market is expanding upward, expanding downward, or transitioning. A practical structure model focuses on “meaningful” turning points rather than every minor fluctuation, because the goal is to capture intent and flow, not noise.
💠 Swing highs and swing lows
A swing high is a local peak where price stops advancing and begins to rotate lower, while a swing low is a local trough where selling pressure pauses and price rotates higher. Swings matter because many traders anchor risk, liquidity, and entries around them. The stronger the reaction away from a swing, the more likely it is to be referenced again as a decision point.
💠 Break of structure
A break of structure is the event where price decisively exceeds a prior swing in the direction of the prevailing move. In practice, it is used as confirmation that a directional leg is still active and that liquidity resting beyond the swing has been taken. This concept is less about predicting and more about validating continuation.
💠 Change of character
A change of character is a structural break that signals transition rather than continuation. Instead of breaking a swing in the same direction as the recent trend, price breaks a key swing in the opposite direction, suggesting that control may be shifting. It is often treated as an early warning that the market may be moving from continuation into reversal or deeper pullback conditions.
💠 Order blocks
An order block is commonly described as the last opposing candle or consolidation zone that precedes a strong directional expansion. The idea is that this area represents a footprint of aggressive execution and unfilled interest. When price revisits it later, it can act as a reaction zone because participants who missed the move may defend it, or because remaining orders may still exist there.
💠 Mitigation and invalidation of a zone
Mitigation describes the process of price returning to a zone and “consuming” the remaining interest there. A zone is typically considered invalidated when price trades through it in a way that implies the resting orders were absorbed and the area no longer has protective value. Some approaches treat a wick through the boundary as enough to invalidate, while others require a candle close beyond the boundary to confirm that the level has truly failed.
💠 Breaker blocks
A breaker block is an order block concept that changes role after being invalidated. When a previously respected zone fails, it can later become a reaction area in the opposite direction because trapped participants may use the retest to exit, or because the market may recognize it as a new supply or demand reference. Breakers are often treated as “failed zones that become liquidity magnets” and are closely watched on retests.
💠 Liquidity and liquidity pools
Liquidity is the availability of resting orders that allow large transactions to execute with minimal slippage. In chart terms, liquidity pools often form around obvious swing highs and lows, equal highs and lows, and clear ranges. These areas attract price because they contain clustered stops and entries that can be used to fuel continuation or trigger reversals through rapid order flow shifts.
💠 Liquidity sweeps
A liquidity sweep is a move where price briefly trades beyond a known liquidity pool and then returns back inside, often closing back within the prior range. The concept implies that stops were triggered and liquidity was captured, but that continuation beyond the swept level did not sustain. Sweeps are frequently used as context for reversals or for confirming that a “cleanout” occurred before a directional move.
💠 Equal highs and equal lows
Equal highs and equal lows describe repeated swing levels that form a flat or nearly flat top or bottom. They matter because they concentrate liquidity. Many traders place stops just beyond these repeated levels, and many breakout traders place entries around them. The result is a dense cluster of orders that can be targeted efficiently by price.
💠Imbalances and inefficiencies
Imbalances represent zones where price moved so quickly that it left behind inefficient trading, meaning fewer transactions occurred in that region compared to surrounding areas. The underlying idea is that markets often revisit these areas to rebalance, fill gaps, or complete unfinished business. Imbalances are treated as areas of interest for pullback entries, targets, or reaction zones.
💠 Fair value gap
A fair value gap is a specific form of imbalance commonly framed as a three candle displacement that leaves a gap between candles, indicating rapid repricing. Traders use it as a proxy for inefficiency: if price returns, it may partially or fully fill the gap before continuing. The midpoint of the gap is often treated as a particularly relevant reference, but whether price respects it depends on context.
💠 Inverted fair value gap
An inverted fair value gap is the idea that once an imbalance is “broken” in a meaningful way, the zone can flip its behavior. Instead of acting like a supportive zone, it may become resistive (or vice versa) on a later retest. Conceptually, this is similar to role reversal: what once behaved as a continuation aid can become a rejection zone after failure.
💠 Premium, discount, and equilibrium
Premium and discount describe where price sits relative to a defined recent range. Premium is the upper portion of that range and discount is the lower portion. Equilibrium is the midpoint. The concept is mainly used to align trade direction with location: buying is generally more attractive in discount and selling is generally more attractive in premium, assuming you are trading mean reversion within a range or seeking favorable risk placement within a broader trend.
💠 Swing failure pattern
A swing failure pattern is a reversal archetype where price breaks a known swing level, fails to hold beyond it, and returns back through the level. The logic is that the breakout attempt attracted orders and triggered stops, but the market rejected the extension. SFPs are often considered higher quality when the failure is followed by a decisive move away and when it aligns with a broader liquidity narrative.
💠 Higher timeframe context
Higher timeframe context means framing intraday or lower timeframe signals within the structure of a larger timeframe. This can include aligning trades with higher timeframe swings, using higher timeframe candles as reference for open/high/low behavior, and avoiding taking counter trend signals when the larger timeframe is strongly directional. The purpose is to improve signal quality by ensuring the smaller timeframe idea is not fighting a dominant larger flow.
💠 Trend channels
A trend channel is a structured way to visualize a market’s directional “lane” by framing price between two roughly parallel boundaries. The central idea is that trending price action often oscillates in a repeatable corridor: pullbacks tend to stall around one side of the lane, while impulses tend to extend toward the opposite side. Instead of treating trend as a single line, a channel treats trend as an area, which better reflects real market behavior where reactions occur in zones rather than at perfect prices.
A channel typically has three functional references: a guiding line that represents the prevailing slope, an upper boundary that approximates where bullish expansions tend to stretch before mean reversion, and a lower boundary that approximates where bearish pullbacks tend to terminate before continuation. The space between boundaries represents the market’s accepted path. When price stays inside this corridor, the trend is considered healthy. When price repeatedly fails to progress within it, the trend is weakening.
Channels are commonly used for timing and location. In an uptrend channel, pullbacks into the lower portion of the corridor are often treated as higher quality “location” for continuation attempts, while pushes into the upper portion are treated as extension territory where risk of a pause or retracement increases. In a downtrend channel, the logic is mirrored: rallies into the upper portion are often treated as sell side location, and moves into the lower portion are treated as extension territory. The channel does not predict direction by itself; it provides a disciplined map for where continuation is more likely versus where momentum is more likely to cool.
A key concept is acceptance versus deviation. If price briefly pierces a boundary and snaps back inside, that is often interpreted as a deviation, meaning the market tested outside the lane but did not accept it. If price holds outside the corridor and begins to build new swings there, that suggests acceptance and a potential regime change: either a new channel with a different slope, a shift into range, or a broader reversal context. This is why channels are most useful when you treat them as a framework for evaluating behavior, not as rigid support and resistance.
Order Block Finder [MHA Finverse]Order Block Finder is a sophisticated Smart Money Concepts (SMC) tool designed to identify and visualize institutional order blocks on your charts. This indicator helps traders spot key areas where smart money has placed their orders, providing valuable insights for potential support and resistance zones.
What are Order Blocks?
Order blocks are price zones where institutional traders have placed significant orders. This indicator identifies these zones by detecting pivot points in price action and tracking structural breaks in both internal (short-term) and swing (long-term) timeframes.
Key Features:
• Dual Structure Analysis
- Internal Order Blocks: Fast-moving blocks based on 5-bar pivots for short-term trading
- Swing Order Blocks: Slower blocks based on 50-bar pivots for position trading
- Display up to 20 order blocks per type
• Volume Metrics
Each order block displays two important metrics:
- Volume value: The total volume of the candle that formed the order block
- Percentage: Relative volume compared to all visible order blocks (always totals 100%)
Higher percentages indicate stronger institutional activity and more significant zones
• Smart Filtering System
- ATR Filter: Filters out high-volatility candles (>2x ATR) to focus on genuine order blocks
- CMR Filter: Uses Cumulative Mean Range for adaptive filtering across different market conditions
• Flexible Mitigation Options
Choose how order blocks are considered broken:
- High/Low: Order block breaks when price touches its boundary
- Close: Order block breaks only when candle closes through it
• Visual Customization
- Colored or Monochrome themes
- Adjustable text size for volume metrics
- Customizable colors for bullish and bearish blocks
- Historical or Present mode for clean chart analysis
• Built-in Alert System
- Real-time alerts when order blocks are mitigated
- Individual toggles for each alert type
- Clear emoji indicators (🔵 Bullish, 🔴 Bearish)
- Compatible with TradingView's alert system
How It Works:
The indicator identifies order blocks by:
1. Detecting pivot highs and lows in price structure
2. Monitoring when price crosses these pivots (structure breaks)
3. Finding the highest/lowest volatility-filtered candle in the pivot zone
4. Marking this candle as an order block with its volume data
5. Removing blocks when the price mitigates them
Order blocks with higher volume percentages represent stronger institutional interest and are typically more reliable for trading decisions.
Best Practices:
- Use Internal OBs for day trading and scalping
- Use Swing OBs for swing trading and position entries
- Pay attention to blocks with higher volume percentages
- Combine with other SMC concepts for confirmation
Perfect for traders who follow Smart Money Concepts, ICT methodology, and institutional trading analysis.

SMC N-Gram Probability Matrix [PhenLabs]📊 SMC N-Gram Probability Matrix
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The SMC N-Gram Probability Matrix applies computational linguistics methodology to Smart Money Concepts trading. By treating SMC patterns as a discrete “alphabet” and analyzing their sequential relationships through N-gram modeling, this indicator calculates the statistical probability of which pattern will appear next based on historical transitions.
Traditional SMC analysis is reactive—traders identify patterns after they form and then anticipate the next move. This indicator inverts that approach by building a transition probability matrix from up to 5,000 bars of pattern history, enabling traders to see which SMC formations most frequently follow their current market sequence.
The indicator detects and classifies 11 distinct SMC patterns including Fair Value Gaps, Order Blocks, Liquidity Sweeps, Break of Structure, and Change of Character in both bullish and bearish variants, then tracks how these patterns transition from one to another over time.
🚀 Points of Innovation

✅ Best Use Cases
Anticipating continuation or reversal patterns after liquidity sweeps
Identifying high-probability BOS/CHoCH sequences for trend trading
Filtering FVG and Order Block signals based on historical follow-through rates
Building confluence by comparing predicted patterns with other technical analysis
Studying how SMC patterns typically sequence on specific instruments or timeframes
⚠️ Limitations
Predictions are based solely on historical pattern frequency and do not account for fundamental factors
Low sample counts produce unreliable probabilities—always check the Samples display
Market regime changes can invalidate historical transition patterns
The indicator requires sufficient historical data to build meaningful probability matrices
Pattern detection uses standardized parameters that may not capture all institutional activity

Comprehensive SMC Coverage: Tracks all major Smart Money Concepts in a unified probability framework
🔬 How It Works
1. Pattern Detection Phase
Each bar is analyzed for SMC formations using configurable detection parameters
A priority hierarchy assigns the most significant pattern when multiple detections occur
2. Sequence Encoding Phase
Detected patterns are stored in a rolling history buffer of recent classifications
The current N-gram context is encoded into a unique integer identifier
3. Matrix Construction Phase
Historical pattern sequences are iterated to count transition occurrences
Each context-to-next-pattern transition increments the appropriate matrix cell
4. Probability Calculation Phase
Current context ID retrieves corresponding transition counts from the matrix
Raw counts are converted to percentages based on total context occurrences
5. Visualization Phase
Probabilities are sorted and the top N predictions are displayed in the table
Chart markers identify the current detected pattern for visual reference
💡 Note:
This indicator performs best when used as a confluence tool alongside traditional SMC analysis. The probability predictions highlight statistically common pattern sequences but should not be used as standalone trading signals. Always verify predictions against price action context, higher timeframe structure, and your overall trading plan. Monitor the sample count to ensure predictions are based on adequate historical data.
Volumetric Inverse Fair Value Gap (IFVG) [Kodexius]The Volumetric Inverse Fair Value Gap (IFVG) indicator detects and visualizes inverse fair value gaps (IFVGs) zones where previous inefficiencies in price (fair value gaps) are later invalidated or “inverted.”
Unlike traditional FVG indicators, this tool integrates volume-based analysis to quantify the bullish, bearish, and overall strength of each inversion. It visually represents these metrics within a dynamically updating box on the chart, giving traders deeper insight into market reactions when liquidity imbalances are filled and reversed.
Features
Inverse fair value gap detection
The script identifies bullish and bearish fair value gaps, stores them as pending zones, and turns them into inverse fair value gaps when price trades back through the gap in the opposite direction. Each valid inversion becomes an active IFVG zone on the chart.
Sensitivity control with ATR filter and strict mode
A minimum gap size based on ATR is used to filter out small and noisy gaps. Strict mode can be enabled so that any wick contact between the relevant candles prevents the gap from being accepted as a fair value gap. This lets you decide how clean and selective the zones should be.
Show Last N Boxes control
The indicator can keep only the most recent N IFVG zones visible. Older zones are removed from the chart once the number of active objects exceeds the user setting. This prevents clutter on higher timeframes or long histories and keeps attention on the most relevant recent zones.
Ghost box for the original gap
When the ghost option is enabled, the script draws a faint box that marks the original fair value gap from which the inverse zone came. This makes it easy to see where the initial imbalance appeared and how price later inverted that area.
Volumetric bull, bear and strength metrics
For each IFVG, the script estimates how much of the bar volume is associated with buying and how much with selling, then computes bull percentage, bear percentage and a strength score that uses a percentile rank of volume. These values are stored with the IFVG object and drive the visualization inside the zone.
Three band visual layout inside each IFVG
Each active IFVG is drawn as a container with three horizontal sections. The top band represents the bull percentage, the middle band the bear percentage and the bottom band the strength metric. The width of each bar reflects its respective value so you can read the structure of the zone at a glance.
Customizable colors and label text
Colors for bull, bear, strength, the empty background area, the ghost box and label text can be adjusted in the inputs. This allows you to match the indicator to different chart themes or highlight specific aspects such as strength or direction.
Automatic invalidation and cleanup
When price clearly closes beyond the IFVG in a way that breaks the logic of that zone, the script marks it as inactive and deletes all boxes and labels linked to it. Only valid and active IFVGs remain on the chart, which keeps the display clean and focused.
Calculations
1. Detecting Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
A fair value gap is identified when price action leaves an imbalance between candle wicks. Depending on the mode:
Bullish FVG: When low > high
Bearish FVG: When high < low
Optionally, the strict mode ensures wicks do not touch.
The gap’s significance is filtered using the ATR multiplier input to exclude minor noise.
Once detected, FVGs are stored as pending zones until inverted by opposite movement (price crossing through).
bool bull_cond = strict_mode ? (low > high ) : (close > high )
bool bear_cond = strict_mode ? (high < low ) : (close < low )
float gap_size = 0.0
if bull_cond and close > open
gap_size := low - high
if bear_cond and close < open
gap_size := low - high
2. Creating IFVGs (Inversions)
When price later moves through a previous FVG in the opposite direction, an Inverse FVG (IFVG) is created.
For example:
A previous bearish FVG becomes bullish IFVG if price moves upward through it.
A previous bullish FVG becomes bearish IFVG if price moves downward through it.
The IFVG is initialized with structural boundaries (top, bottom) and timestamp metadata to anchor visualization.
if not p.is_bull_gap and close > p.top
inverted := true
to_bull := true
if p.is_bull_gap and close < p.btm
inverted := true
to_bull := false
3. Volume Metrics (Bull, Bear, Strength)
Each IFVG calculates buy and sell volumes from the current bar’s price spread and total volume.
Bull % = proportion of upward (buy) volume
Bear % = proportion of downward (sell) volume
Strength % = normalized percentile rank of total volume
These are obtained through a custom function that estimates directional volume contribution:
calc_metrics(float o, float h, float l, float c, float v) =>
float rng = h - l
float buy_v = 0.0
if rng == 0
buy_v := v * 0.5
else
if c >= o
buy_v := v * ((math.abs(c - o) + (math.min(o, c) - l)) / rng)
else
buy_v := v * ((h - math.max(o, c)) / rng)
float sell_v = v - buy_v
float total = buy_v + sell_v
float p_bull = total > 0 ? buy_v / total : 0
float p_bear = total > 0 ? sell_v / total : 0
float p_str = ta.percentrank(v, 100) / 100.0
SMC Statistical Liquidity Walls [PhenLabs]📊 SMC Statistical Liquidity Walls
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The SMC Statistical Liquidity Walls indicator is designed to visualize market volatility and potential reversal zones using advanced statistical modeling. Unlike traditional Bollinger Bands that use simple lines, this script utilizes an “Inverted Sigmoid” opacity function to create a “fog of war” effect. This visualizes the density of liquidity: the further price moves from the equilibrium (mean), the “harder” the liquidity wall becomes.
This tool solves the problem of over-trading in low-probability areas. By automatically mapping “Premium” (Resistance) and “Discount” (Support) zones based on Standard Deviation (SD), traders can instantly see when price is overextended. The result is a clean, intuitive overlay that helps you identify high-probability mean reversion setups without cluttering your chart with manual drawings.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Inverted Sigmoid Logic: A custom mathematical function maps Standard Deviation to opacity, creating a realistic “wall” density effect rather than linear gradients.
Dynamic “Solidity”: The indicator is transparent at the center (Equilibrium) and becomes visually solid at the edges, mimicking physical resistance.
Separated Directional Bias: distinct Red (Premium) and Green (Discount) coding helps SMC traders instantly recognize expensive vs. cheap pricing.
Smart “Safe” Deviation: Includes fallback logic to handle calculation errors if deviation hits zero, ensuring the indicator never crashes during data gaps.
🔧 Core Components
Basis Calculation: Uses a Simple Moving Average (SMA) to determine the market’s equilibrium point.
Standard Deviation Zones: Calculates 1SD, 2SD, and 3SD levels to define the statistical extremes of price action.
Sigmoid Alpha Calculation: Converts the SD distance into a transparency value (0-100) to drive the visual gradient.
🔥 Key Features
Automated Premium/Discount Zones: Red zones indicate overbought (Premium) areas; Green zones indicate oversold (Discount) areas.
Customizable Density: Users can adjust the “Steepness” and “Midpoint” of the sigmoid curve to control how fast the walls become solid.
Integrated Alerts: Built-in alert conditions trigger when price hits the “Solid” wall (2SD or higher), perfect for automated trading or notifications.
Visual Clarity: The center of the chart remains clear (high transparency) to keep focus on price action where it matters most.
🎨 Visualization
Equilibrium Line: A gray line representing the mean price.
Gradient Fills: The space between bands fills with color that increases in opacity as it moves outward.
Premium Wall: Upper zones fade from transparent red to solid red.
Discount Wall: Lower zones fade from transparent green to solid green.
📖 Usage Guidelines
Range Period: Default 20. Controls the lookback period for the SMA and Standard Deviation calculation.
Source: Default Close. The price data used for calculations.
Center Transparency: Default 100 (Clear). Controls how transparent the middle of the chart is.
Edge Transparency: Default 45 (Solid). Controls the opacity of the outermost liquidity wall.
Wall Steepness: Default 2.5. Adjusts how aggressively the gradient transitions from clear to solid.
Wall Start Point: Default 1.5 SD. The deviation level where the gradient shift begins to accelerate.
✅ Best Use Cases
Mean Reversion Trading: Enter trades when price hits the solid 2SD or 3SD wall and shows rejection wicks.
Take Profit Targets: Use the Equilibrium (Gray Line) as a logical first target for reversal trades.
Trend Filtering: Do not initiate new long positions when price is deep inside the Red (Premium) wall.
⚠️ Limitations
Lagging Nature: As a statistical tool based on Moving Averages, the walls react to past price data and may lag during sudden volatility spikes.
Trending Markets: In strong parabolic trends, price can “ride” the bands for extended periods; mean reversion should be used with caution in these conditions.
💡 What Makes This Unique
Physics-Based Visualization: We treat liquidity as a physical barrier that gets denser the deeper you push, rather than just a static line on a chart.
🔬 How It Works
Step 1: The script calculates the mean (SMA) and the Standard Deviation (SD) of the source price.
Step 2: It defines three zones above and below the mean (1SD, 2SD, 3SD).
Step 3: The custom `get_inverted_sigmoid` function calculates an Alpha (transparency) value based on the SD distance.
Step 4: Plot fills are colored dynamically, creating a seamless gradient that hardens at the extremes to visualize the “Liquidity Wall.”
💡 Note
For best results, combine this indicator with Price Action confirmation (such as pin bars or engulfing candles) when price touches the solid walls.
Smart Money Setup 08 [TradingFinder] Binary Options Gold Scalper🔵 Introduction
In the Smart Money methodology, the market is understood as a structure driven by liquidity flow. This structure forms through the movement of large orders, the accumulation of liquidity, and the reactions that occur around key price zones. The logic of Smart Money is based on the idea that price movement is not random and usually evolves with the intention of collecting liquidity and creating price inefficiencies known as imbalances.
Within this framework, several important stages including the liquidity sweep, the formation of a point of interest, the appearance of an imbalance and the transition of market structure play major roles and collectively define the broader direction of price.
In many bullish scenarios, the market begins by sweeping sell side liquidity and targeting important lows in order to collect the liquidity resting below them. This liquidity collection often becomes the starting point for creating a point of interest which usually marks the area where Smart Money begins to enter the market.
After price moves away from this point, it breaks a structural high and forms a change of character. This shift marks a transition in the balance of power between buyers and sellers and is considered the first clear signal that the market structure is changing.
After the change of character, new institutional order flow often creates a strong and rapid movement that leaves behind an imbalance. This imbalance is one of the most important elements in Smart Money analysis because price tends to return to this area in order to complete structure and restore balance.
The return into the imbalance becomes meaningful when it occurs together with the liquidity sweep, the presence of a validated point of interest and a confirmed structural transition. These conditions frequently mark the beginning of powerful movements within the Smart Money cycle.
Understanding the sequence of liquidity, point of interest, imbalance, change of character and market structure builds the foundation of Smart Money analysis and provides a clear view of the true direction of institutional strength.
Bullish Setup :
Bearish Setup :
🔵 How to Use
To use this framework effectively, the trader must analyze the market through the principles of Smart Money and observe how liquidity drives price. A trade becomes valid only when several essential components appear together in a clear and consistent order.
These components include the liquidity sweep, the formation of a point of interest, the confirmation of a change of character, the transition of market structure and the return of price into an imbalance. The method is built on the understanding that the market first collects liquidity, then shifts order flow and finally provides an entry opportunity inside an inefficient area or inside a point of interest.
For this reason, the trader must follow the path of liquidity from the moment the sweep occurs, through the point of interest and the change of character and finally into the return of price toward the imbalance. When applied correctly, this approach creates entries that are more precise, more structural and more aligned with the real behavior of the market rather than with superficial signals.
🟣 Long Position
A bullish setup in Smart Money structure begins with a liquidity sweep on the sell side. The market first targets the areas where sell side liquidity is located and collects the stops and resting liquidity under previous lows. This collection is the condition that Smart Money requires to begin creating a new order flow. After this liquidity has been taken, a point of interest forms which is usually the last bearish candle or the effective demand zone that initiated the upward movement.
Price then moves away from the point of interest and breaks a structural high which creates a change of character. This event confirms that the market structure has moved from a bearish state to a bullish one and that buying pressure has taken control of the order flow. Following this shift, a strong upward movement often occurs and creates an imbalance between candles. This imbalance reflects the entrance of strong Smart Money orders and is seen as an important confirmation of bullish strength.
When price returns to this imbalance after the displacement, the market enters a phase where Smart Money aims to complete the corrective movement and continue the upward direction. The reaction inside the imbalance when combined with the liquidity sweep, the confirmed point of interest and the change of character completes the bullish setup and forms a structure that often leads to a continuation of the bullish trend.
🟣 Short Position
A bearish setup follows the same Smart Money logic but in the opposite direction. The market begins by collecting buy side liquidity and targets the highs where buy side liquidity and resting stops are located. This liquidity sweep on the buy side becomes the starting phase for Smart Money to initiate a downward order flow. After the liquidity is collected, a bearish point of interest forms which is usually the last bullish candle or the supply zone that created the initial drop.
Price then moves away from this point and breaks the first structural low. This creates a change of character to the downside which confirms that the market structure has transitioned from bullish to bearish and that selling pressure has gained control. After this shift, a strong downward displacement appears and leaves behind a bearish imbalance that clearly shows the dominance of sellers.
As price returns to this imbalance and corrects the inefficient movement, the bearish setup becomes complete as long as the market structure remains bearish. The combination of the buy side liquidity sweep, the bearish point of interest, the change of character, the imbalance and the corrective return creates the ideal structure that Smart Money uses to continue the downward movement and develop a reliable selling opportunity.

🔵 Conclusion
The Smart Money approach demonstrates that price movement is not random or based on surface level patterns. Instead, it develops through a clear cycle of liquidity collection, structural transition and corrective movement toward key price zones. By recognizing events such as the liquidity sweep, the formation of the point of interest, the change of character and the return into the imbalance, the trader gains the ability to understand order flow more accurately and identify the true direction of market structure.
Both bullish and bearish setups show that the alignment of these elements creates a transparent view of institutional behavior and reveals the source of strong movements in the market. When the trader correctly identifies this sequence, entry points become more reliable and more aligned with liquidity flow. The combination of liquidity, structure and imbalance provides a consistent framework that removes guesswork and guides decisions through the real logic of the market.

• ATR & Volume-based exits, TP lock and session control
The goal: fewer random trades, more focused entries when structure + volatility + trend are in sync.
1. Core Idea
Smart Structure Levels (S/R)
– The strategy builds dynamic support/resistance using swing highs/lows.
– Breakouts above resistance or below support, with enough volatility (filter), become primary trade signals.
BOS / CHoCH Engine
– Tracks Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH).
– BOS up/down help define the current trend bias.
– CHoCH highlights potential reversals after a confirmed BOS in the opposite direction.
Order Block Gap Logic
– Detects displacement candles with gaps (based on ATR) to approximate OB-style “impulsive moves”.
– Bullish gaps can add confluence for long entries, bearish gaps for shorts.
Volatility-Aware Entries
– Uses normalized volatility (via ATR, Range or BBWidth).
– Filters out breakouts in dead, low-vol environments and focuses on moves with real expansion.
2. Trend & Risk Management Stack
SuperTrend Filter
– Optional “Only With SuperTrend Direction” to restrict entries to the current ST trend.
– ST flips can also force exits if you want to exit as soon as the main trend changes.
ATR-Based Stops & Trails
– ATR distance check to avoid ultra-tight stops that get chopped instantly.
– Three modes:
• StopOnly – classic fixed ATR stop.
• TrailOnly – trailing ATR-style stop.
• StopAndTrail – initial fixed stop that later trails with price.
Volume-Based Exits (Optional)
– Exit on extremely low volume (move losing participation).
– Or on opposite volume spikes (strong counter-pressure against your position).
– Or use Both for a more active volume management.
TP Lock Logic
– When unrealized profit reaches a chosen value, the position is closed and a “lock” can be applied.
– Use this lock to:
• block same-direction re-entries for that side, or
• allow them again depending on your preference.
3. Anti-Churn & Session Control
Anti-Churn Controls
– Minimum bars between entries.
– Cooldown after an ATR exit.
– Limit of max entries per bar.
Session Filter
– Restrict trading to a specific hourly window (e.g. main market session).
– Option to force close positions outside your active session.
– Handy for intraday traders who don’t want overnight or low-liquidity exposure.
4. SmartMoney Preset Modes
Preset Mode:
• EtherFlux – more flexible, for general breakout & volatility trading.
• SmartMoney – SMC-focused preset:
– Adjusted length, volatility filter and ATR settings.
– Option to disable exits from the strategy side (for manual risk control).
Switching presets automatically tunes multiple internal parameters so you don’t have to micromanage every input each time.
5. Visual Layer
This script has a complete visual suite to help you “read the tape”:
– Bar Colors by position and SuperTrend bias.
– Support / Resistance dots and lines (stepline style).
– Order Block markers (bullish / bearish gap labels).
– BOS / CHoCH labels to track structure shifts in real-time.
– Liquidation Zones (visual only)
• Approximate long and short liquidation areas based on assumed leverage.
• Shaded zones on the chart for quick liquidity map.
– Status Labels
• Session status (ACTIVE / OFF / DISABLED).
• Current position (LONG / SHORT / FLAT).
• TP Lock status (longs locked / shorts locked / no lock).
All visuals are designed for dark charts but also work on light themes with minor tweaks.
6. Quick Input Guide
• Levels Period & Volatility Filter – main structure sensitivity and breakout quality.
• Volatility Method – ATR / Range / BBWidth normalization for the vol filter.
• ATR Stop & Management – core risk rules: ATR multiplier, stop/trail mode, min ATR distance.
• SuperTrend Settings – trend bias and ST-flip exits.
• SmartMoney Preset – quick switch between EtherFlux and SmartMoney tuning.
• Volume Exits – low volume / opposite spike / both.
• Session Filter – hour-based trading window + optional forced flat outside session.
• Follow-Signal Mode – flip from long→short or short→long when signal reverses (signal-based rotation).
• TP Lock – secure profits at a fixed amount and optionally block same-direction re-entries.
• Liq Zones – visual only, for liquidity map (no direct trade logic).
How to Use (My Suggestion)
Start on 15m–4H charts for liquid pairs (BTC, ETH, majors).
Choose your preset:
– EtherFlux for more general breakout + vol trading.
– SmartMoney if you want stricter SMC behaviour.
Turn on SuperTrend + ATR stops for cleaner risk management.
Forward-test in replay / paper trading before using real capital.
Use the visual BOS/CHoCH + Liq Zones as context , not as blind signals.
Important
This is a backtest & research tool . It is not financial advice and does not guarantee profits. Always combine it with your own risk management, position sizing, and forward-testing before going live. Trading leveraged products and crypto can result in partial or full loss of capital.
RUSSFEST SMC Strategy V1.4RUSSFEST SMC Strategy V1.4 is a multi-timeframe Smart Money Concepts framework that builds a clean, rule-based view of market structure and then trades directly off that structure. It’s designed for traders who want to systematize SMC logic, keep their charts readable, and automate their trading.
Instead of relying on lagging oscillators, the strategy continuously tracks the active price leg, labels strong/weak highs and lows, and reacts to structural shifts in real time. The current timeframe leg is always drawn on your chart with a clear high, low, and midpoint, so you can instantly see whether price is trading in a discount or premium relative to the leg. Trade entries are driven by confirmed events aligned with directional bias, not by single-candle patterns.
A higher-timeframe (HTF) structure engine runs in the background and can be overlaid on your execution timeframe (e.g., 4H structure on a 15m chart). This HTF leg provides the primary bias and defines HTF discount/premium zones so that longs can be constrained to discounted areas of a bullish leg and shorts to premium areas of a bearish leg. An optional additional HTF bias can be turned on for traders who want an extra top-down filter before any position is allowed.
Risk management is fully structure-based. Stops are always placed beyond the current structure high/low with an optional buffer, so every trade is anchored to a meaningful swing point instead of arbitrary points. Take-profit logic is configurable:
Fixed RR – simple R-multiple targeting off the structure-based stop.
HTF Weak High/Low – targets the opposing side of the active HTF leg.
Opposite CHoCH – dynamically exits when structure flips against the position, effectively using the next structural shift as an exit rule.
Key Features:
Full SMC-style price leg tracking with strong/weak highs & lows and midpoint.
Multi-timeframe structure: overlay HTF leg on your LTF execution chart.
Primary and optional secondary HTF bias filters.
Discount/premium gating relative to the HTF leg (no “chasing” in the wrong zone).
Structure-anchored stop loss with three exit modes (Fixed RR, HTF target, Opposite CHoCH).
Day-of-week filters for filtering out any days that don't prove to be profitable.
This script is a structured SMC framework, not financial advice. Markets are risky; always forward-test, adjust parameters for your instrument and timeframe, and use position sizing that fits your own risk tolerance.
The 'Qualified' POI Scorer [PhenLabs]📊 The “Qualified” POI Scorer (Q-POI)
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The “Qualified” POI Scorer helps intermediate traders overcome "analysis paralysis" by filtering Smart Money Concepts (SMC) structures based on their probability. Instead of flooding your chart with every possible Order Block, this script assigns a proprietary “Quality Score” (0-100) to each zone. It analyzes the strength of the displacement, the presence of imbalances (FVG), and liquidity mechanics to determine which zones are worth your attention. It is designed to clean up your charts and enforce discipline by visually fading out low-quality setups.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Dynamic “Glass UI” Transparency that automatically fades weak zones based on their score.
Proprietary Scoring Algorithm (0-100) based on three distinct institutional factors.
Visual Icon System that prints analytical context (💧— 🚀/🐌—🧱) directly on the chart.
Automated Mitigation Tracking that changes the visual state of zones after they are tested.
Displacement Velocity calculation using ATR to verify institutional intent.
🔧 Core Components
Liquidity Sweep Engine: Detects if a pivot point grabbed liquidity from the previous X bars before reversing.
FVG Validator: Checks if the move away from the zone created a valid Fair Value Gap.
Momentum Scorer: Calculates the size of the displacement candle relative to the Average True Range (ATR).
🔥 Key Features
Quality Filtering: Automatically hides or dims zones that score below 50 (user configurable).
State Management: Zones turn grey when mitigated and delete themselves when invalidated.
Visual Scorecard: Displays the exact numeric score on the zone for quick decision-making.
Time-Decay Logic: Keeps the chart clean by managing the lifespan of old zones.
🎨 Visualization
High Score Zones (80-100): Display as bright, semi-solid boxes indicating high probability.
Medium Score Zones (50-79): Display as translucent “glass” boxes.
Low Score Zones (<50): Display as faint “ghost” boxes or are completely hidden.
Rocket Icon (🚀): Indicates high momentum displacement.
Snail Icon (🐌): Indicates low momentum displacement.
Drop Icon (💧): Indicates the zone swept liquidity.
Brick Icon (🧱): Indicates the zone is supported by an FVG.
📖 Usage Guidelines
Swing Structure Length (Default: 5): Controls the sensitivity of the pivot detection; lower numbers create more zones, higher numbers find major swing points.
ATR Length (Default: 14): Determines the lookback period for calculating relative momentum.
Minimum Quality Score (Default: 50): The threshold for which zones are considered “valid” enough to be fully visible.
Bullish/Bearish Colors: Fully customizable colors that adapt their own transparency based on the score.
Show Weak Zones (Default: False): Toggles the visibility of zones that failed the quality check.
✅ Best Use Cases
Filtering noise during high-volatility sessions by focusing only on Score 80+ zones.
Confirming trend continuation entries by looking for the Rocket (🚀) momentum icon.
Avoiding “stale” zones by ignoring any box that has turned grey (Mitigated).
⚠️ Limitations
The indicator is reactive to closed candles and cannot predict news-driven spikes.
Scoring is based on technical structure and does not account for fundamental drivers.
In extremely choppy markets, the ATR filter may produce lower scores due to lack of displacement.
💡 What Makes This Unique
It transforms subjective SMC analysis into an objective, quantifiable score.
The visual hierarchy allows traders to assess chart quality in milliseconds without reading data.
It integrates three separate SMC concepts (Liquidity, Imbalance, Structure) into a single tool.
🔬 How It Works
Step 1: The script identifies a Swing High or Low based on your length input.
Step 2: It looks backward to see if that swing swept liquidity, and looks forward to check for an FVG and displacement.
Step 3: It calculates a weighted score (30pts for Sweep, 30pts for FVG, 40pts for Momentum).
Step 4: It draws the zone with a transparency level designated by the score and appends the relevant icons.
💡 Note:
For the best results, use this indicator on the timeframe you execute trades on (e.g., 15m or 1h). Do not use it to find entries on the 1m chart if your analysis is based on the 4h chart.
Smart Money COTThis indicator implements the method of analysing COT data as defined by Michael Huddleston (I.E. The Inner Circle Trader). It removes all superfluous information contained in the standard COT reports and focusses only on Commercial speculators using the overall Long-Short positions.
Features
The unique feature of this indicator is its ability to look back over time and provide the following information:
Calculation of the range high and low of the specified lookback range.
Calculation of equilibrium of that range.
Automatic colour coding of net long and net short positions when the Long-Short COT calculation is above or below equilibrium of the lookback range.
Instructions
Use the Daily Timeframe only. You may get unexpected results on other timeframes.
Ensure the asset has COT data available. Script is mainly focused on commodity futures, such as ES, NQ, YM. It has not been tested against Forex.
You will need to define the "Lookback" setting in the script settings. Use the total number of trading days required for your analysis. E.g. if you want a 6 month COT analysis, use the measurement tool to count the quantity of daily candles between now and 6 months ago - use this as your Lookback setting. Adjust as needed for other lookback periods, e.g. 3 months, 12 months etc.
Other Info
The script provides the ability to customise colours in its settings.
Range High and Range Low plots can be disabled in settings.
ICT Complete Multi-Setup StrategyThe ICT (Inner Circle Trader) trading strategies include multiple setups such as Silver Bullet, Cameron's Model, Inversion Fair Value Gap, Turtle Soup, Candle Range Theory (CRT), Optimal Trade Entry (OTE), Change in the State of Delivery (CISD), and Power of Three (PO3). These strategies revolve around concepts like liquidity sweeps, fair value gaps (FVG), order blocks, market structure shifts, and smart money footprints.
For a comprehensive Pine Script indicator that incorporates all ICT trading strategies with buy/sell toggles and detailed setups, it involves detecting and marking key ICT concepts like liquidity zones, fair value gaps, order blocks, market structure breaks, and then combining these signals into actionable buy/sell alerts.
Based on the available resources, a Pine Script indicator for all ICT setups would feature:
Marking and trading liquidity sweeps and stops (Silver Bullet, Cameron's Model)
Identifying fair value gaps and their inversions (Inversion FVG, Turtle Soup)
Highlighting Candle Range Theory zones with entries and stops
Fibonacci retracement-based Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) zones for entry timing
Detecting momentum shifts and Change in State of Delivery (CISD)
Recognizing accumulation, manipulation, and distribution phases for Power of Three (PO3)
Toggles for each strategy to enable/disable buy and sell signals
An indicator script needs well-commented code for readability and must visually display buy/sell signals, FVG zones, and key price levels on the chart.
Binary Options 1 Minute Signals [TradingFinder] 1 Min Strategy🔵 Introduction
At first sight, price movement in binary options appears random, but behind every move lies a clear logic of liquidity and market imbalance. The market is always driven by the hunt for liquidity and the continuous rebalancing that takes place around Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Order Blocks (OBs). These zones are where institutional activity is concentrated and where Smart Money creates the most significant reactions.
When price approaches a key liquidity zone, it often performs a Liquidity Sweep to capture orders resting around previous highs or lows. This move usually presents itself as a False Breakout. Price briefly breaks a level to trigger stop losses and collect liquidity, then quickly reverses direction. Understanding this false breakout behavior is essential for identifying high probability reversals in binary options trading.
After the liquidity sweep, price typically retraces into a Fair Value Gap or Order Block, where the market seeks balance and new orders are introduced. This interaction between liquidity, imbalance, and institutional order flow forms the core logic of every Smart Money trading model.
By focusing on Liquidity Sweeps, False Breakouts, and the structure of FVGs and OBs, traders can read the true intention behind price movements. What seems like random volatility becomes a structured cycle of liquidity collection and reaction, offering clear opportunities for precision-based binary entries.
Bullish Setup :
Bearish Setup :
🔵 How to Use
This indicator works within the Smart Money framework and focuses on the connection between Liquidity Sweep, False Breakout, Fair Value Gap (FVG) and Order Block (OB).
It is created to help traders identify the moment when the market finishes collecting liquidity and begins to show signs of reversal.
The indicator studies how price behaves around zones where liquidity is concentrated, such as previous highs and lows or areas with visible inefficiency. When a clear reaction forms and a valid candle pattern confirms the shift in direction, the indicator generates a signal that represents the activity of Smart Money.
This tool does not respond to random volatility or noise. It waits for structure, liquidity and confirmation to align together before providing an entry. As a result, every signal has a logical base related to institutional order flow rather than ordinary price fluctuations. This approach allows traders to focus only on the movements that reflect true liquidity behavior.
🟣 Long Setup
A bullish setup takes place when the market moves downward and reaches a sell-side liquidity zone located below previous swing lows. In this area, price performs a Liquidity Sweep by moving under key levels to trigger stop losses and capture liquidity from trapped sellers.
This movement usually appears as a False Breakout because the market breaks below a level for a short moment and then quickly moves back inside the range.
Around this zone, a bullish Order Block or Fair Value Gap (FVG) often exists, showing where institutional demand is active.
When the indicator detects the presence of liquidity collection together with a valid bullish confirmation candle near an OB or FVG, it creates a Call signal.
This marks the moment when Smart Money is shifting from selling pressure to accumulation, and a strong bullish move often follows. For binary entries, the best opportunity usually comes immediately after the confirmation candle closes.
The reaction tends to happen quickly because the liquidity grab has completed and new institutional buying pressure is entering the market. This type of setup often provides a clean and precise entry with a high probability of success.
🟣 Short Setup
A bearish setup happens when the market rises and enters a buy-side liquidity area above previous highs. Here, the market performs a Liquidity Sweep to trigger stop losses placed above those highs and to absorb liquidity from trapped buyers.
This pattern forms what traders recognize as a False Breakout because the price only breaks the level temporarily before reversing in the opposite direction. A bearish Order Block or Fair Value Gap (FVG) often appears around this zone, showing where institutional selling interest exists.
Once the liquidity sweep completes and a bearish confirmation candle closes, the indicator produces a Put signal that reflects the shift from buying to selling pressure by Smart Money.
This moment often leads to a fast downward reaction as the market rebalances and fills the nearby inefficiency.
The most effective entry for binary trading is right after the confirmation candle closes, when the false breakout and liquidity collection are both completed. The price usually reacts sharply as the market transitions from liquidity hunting to a new directional move. This setup represents a structured view of how liquidity drives market cycles and how Smart Money creates precise reversals through controlled imbalance and reaction.
🔵 Settings
Time Frame : Defines the timeframe used for analysis. If left blank, the indicator automatically uses the chart’s current timeframe.
Swing Period : Determines how many candles are used to identify structural turning points such as swing highs and swing lows. Higher values increase accuracy but reduce the number of signals.
Signal Type : Specifies the type of signal generated by the indicator. The option All shows every signal, Main Signal displays only the primary one, and Alternative Signal produces a secondary signal that appears one candle after the main signal for additional confirmation.
Candle Pattern : Enables candle pattern logic for reversal confirmation. When active, the indicator issues a signal only when a valid candle formation confirms the market reaction.
Candle LookBack Check : Verifies that the last few candles move in the opposite direction of the signal to be generated. This condition acts as a confirmation filter, ensuring that the signal appears only after a clear counter-move in price.
Last Candle Direction : Considers the direction of the most recent candle in the analysis. It helps determine whether the final candle moves with or against the current trend.
Last Candle Shadow Ratio : Sets the ratio between the last candle’s wick and body to refine confirmation accuracy. Higher values require longer wicks, indicating stronger rejection and a more reliable reversal pattern.
🔵 Conclusion
Trading with Smart Money logic means understanding how liquidity moves through the market.
Each Liquidity Sweep, False Breakout, Fair Value Gap (FVG) and Order Block (OB) reflects the process of collecting and redistributing orders.
This indicator captures that sequence and turns it into precise, structured signals for binary entries. When liquidity is absorbed and a candle confirmation appears, the market reveals its true direction.
At that moment, traders can act with confidence, following institutional flow instead of reacting to random price moves.
Success with this system comes from patience, confirmation, and a clear reading of liquidity behavior, the core principles behind every Smart Money reversal.
Quantura - Quantitative AlgorythmIntroduction
“Quantura – Quantitative Algorithm” is an invite-only Pine Script strategy designed for multi-timeframe analysis, combining technical filters with user-adjustable fundamental sentiment. It was primarily developed for cryptocurrency markets but can also be applied across other assets such as Forex, stocks, and indices. The goal is to generate structured trade signals through a confluence of techniques rather than relying on a single indicator.
Originality & Value
Quantura is not a simple mashup of indicators. Its originality comes from how multiple layers of analysis are integrated into a single decision framework . Instead of showing indicators separately, the strategy only issues trades when several conditions align simultaneously:
RSI entry triggers confirm overbought/oversold reversals.
Market structure on a higher timeframe confirms trend direction.
Order block detection highlights zones of concentrated supply and demand.
Premium/Discount zones identify potential over- and undervaluation.
HTF EMA provides trend confirmation.
Optional candlestick patterns strengthen reversal or continuation signals.
An optional correlation filter compares the main asset to a reference instrument.
This design forces agreement between different methodologies (momentum, structure, value, volume, sentiment), which reduces noise compared to using them in isolation.
Functionality & Indicators
Entry trigger: RSI exits from extreme zones.
Filters: Only valid when all selected filters (HTF structure, EMA, order blocks, premium/discount, candlesticks, correlation, volume) confirm the direction.
Fundamental bias: User-defined sentiment and analysis settings (bullish, bearish, neutral) influence whether long or short trades are permitted.
Exits: ATR-based take profit and stop loss, with optional breakeven, opposite-signal exit, and session-end exit.
Visualization: Buy/Sell markers, trend-colored candles, and an optional dashboard summarizing indicator status.
Parameters & Customization
Timeframes: Independent HTF and LTF selection.
Trading direction: Long / Short / Both.
Session and weekday filters.
RSI length and thresholds.
Filters: HTF structure, order blocks, premium/discount, EMA, candlestick, ATR volatility, volume zones, correlation.
Exit rules: ATR multipliers for TP/SL, breakeven logic, session-end exit, opposite-signal exit.
Visuals: Toggle signals, candles, dashboard, custom colors.
Default Properties (Strategy Settings)
Initial Capital: 100,000 USD
Position Size: 15% of equity per trade
Commission: 0.25%
Slippage: enabled
Pyramiding: 0 (one position at a time)
Note: The position sizing of 15% equity per trade is intentionally set for backtesting demonstration. In real trading, risking this much is considered aggressive. Most traders prefer to risk 1-5% of equity, and rarely above 10%.
Backtesting & Performance
Backtests on BTCUSD (2 years) with the above defaults showed:
112 trades
Win rate: 40%
Profit factor: 1.4
Maximum drawdown: 34%
These results illustrate how the confluence model behaves, but they are not predictive of future performance . The trade sample size (72 trades) is below the 100+ usually recommended for statistical robustness. Users should re-test with their own preferred symbols, settings, and timeframes.
Risk Management
ATR-based stops and targets scale with volatility.
Commission and slippage are included by default for realistic modeling.
Opposite-signal exit helps capture trend reversals.
Session-end exit can close intraday positions before illiquid hours.
Breakeven option protects profits when available.
Although the default allocation uses 15% per trade for demonstration, this is not a recommendation. Users are encouraged to adjust risk sizing downwards to sustainable levels (commonly 1-5%).
Limitations & Market Conditions
Performs best in volatile, liquid markets (e.g., crypto).
May struggle in prolonged sideways markets with low volatility.
News events and fundamentals outside user inputs can override signals.
Backtests below 100 trades should be considered exploratory, not statistically conclusive.
Usage Guide
Add “Quantura – Quantitative Algorithm” to your chart in strategy mode.
Select HTF and LTF timeframes, trading direction, and session filters.
Configure confluence filters (structure, EMA, order blocks, premium/discount, candlestick, correlation, volume).
Set sentiment and analysis bias in fundamental settings.
Adjust ATR multipliers and exits.
Review buy/sell signals and analyze performance in the Strategy Tester.

Smart Money Flow Index (SMFI) - Advanced SMC [PhenLabs]📊Smart Money Flow Index (SMFI)
Version: PineScript™v6
📌Description
The Smart Money Flow Index (SMFI) is an advanced Smart Money Concepts implementation that tracks institutional trading behavior through multi-dimensional analysis. This comprehensive indicator combines volume-validated Order Block detection, Fair Value Gap identification with auto-mitigation tracking, dynamic Liquidity Zone mapping, and Break of Structure/Change of Character detection into a unified system.
Unlike basic SMC indicators, SMFI employs a proprietary scoring algorithm that weighs five critical factors: Order Block strength (validated by volume), Fair Value Gap size and recency, proximity to Liquidity Zones, market structure alignment (BOS/CHoCH), and multi-timeframe confluence. This produces a Smart Money Score (0-100) where readings above 70 represent optimal institutional setup conditions.
🚀Points of Innovation

Fair Value Gap Retracement Trading – When price creates FVG during strong move then retraces, enter as price approaches unfilled gap expecting institutional orders to continue trend
Liquidity Sweep Reversals – Monitor price approaching swing high/low liquidity zones against prevailing Smart Money Score trend, after stop hunt sweep watch for rejection into premium Order Block/FVG
Multi-Timeframe Confluence Setups – Identify alignment when current timeframe Order Block coincides with higher timeframe FVG plus MTF analysis showing matching trend bias
Break of Structure Continuations – After BOS confirms trend direction, trade pullbacks to nearest Order Block or FVG in direction of structure break using Smart Money Score >70 as entry filter
Change of Character Reversal Plays – When CHoCH detected indicating potential reversal, look for Smart Money Score pivot with opposing Order Block formation then enter on structure confirmation
⚠️Limitations
Lagging Pivot Calculations – Pivot-based features (Liquidity Zones, Market Structure) require bars to right of pivot for confirmation, meaning these elements identify levels retrospectively with delay equal to lookback period
Whipsaw in Ranging Markets – During choppy conditions, Order Blocks fail frequently and structure breaks produce false signals as Smart Money Score fluctuates without clear institutional bias, best used in trending markets
Volume Data Dependency – Order Block volume validation requires accurate volume data which may be incomplete on Forex pairs or limited in crypto exchange feeds
Subjectivity in Scoring Weights – Proprietary 25-20-20-20-15 weighting reflects general institutional behavior but may not optimize for specific instruments or market regimes, user cannot adjust factor weights
Visual Complexity on Lower Timeframes – Sub-hour timeframes generate excessive zones creating cluttered charts, requires aggressive display limit reduction and higher minimum thresholds
No Fundamental Integration – Indicator analyzes purely technical price action and volume without incorporating economic events, news catalysts, or fundamental shifts that override technical levels
💡What Makes This Unique
Unified SMC Ecosystem – Unlike indicators displaying Order Blocks OR FVGs OR Liquidity separately, SMFI combines all three institutional concepts plus market structure into single cohesive system
Proprietary Confidence Scoring – Rather than manual setup assessment, automated Smart Money Score quantifies probability by weighting five institutional dimensions into actionable 0-100 rating
Volume-Filtered Quality – Eliminates weak Order Blocks forming without institutional volume confirmation, ensuring displayed zones represent genuine accumulation/distribution
Adaptive Lifecycle Management – Automatically updates mitigation status and removes aged zones preventing trades on dead levels through continuous validity and age monitoring
Educational Integration – Built-in tooltips, labeled zones, and reference panel make indicator functional for both learning Smart Money Concepts and executing strategies
🔬How It Works
Order Block Detection – Scans for patterns where strong directional move follows counter-move creating last down-candle before rally (bullish OB) or last up-candle before sell-off (bearish OB), validates formations only when candle exhibits volume exceeding configurable multiple (default 1.5x) of 20-bar average volume
Fair Value Gap Identification – Compares current candle’s high/low against two-candles-prior low/high to detect price imbalances, calculates gap size as percentage of close and filters micro-gaps below minimum threshold (default 0.3%), monitors whether subsequent price fills 50% triggering mitigation status
Liquidity Zone Mapping – Employs pivot detection using configurable lookback (default 50 bars) to identify swing highs/lows where retail stops cluster, extends horizontal reference lines from pivot creation and applies age-based filtering to remove stale zones
Market Structure Analysis – Tracks pivot progression using structure-specific lookback (default 5 bars) to determine trend, confirms uptrend when new pivot high exceeds previous by minimum move percentage, detects Break of Structure when price breaks recent pivot level, flags Change of Character for potential reversals
Multi-Timeframe Confluence – When enabled, requests security data from higher timeframe (current TF × HTF multiplier, default 4x), compares HTF close against HTF 20-period MA to determine bias, contributes ±50 points to score ensuring alignment with institutional positioning on superior timeframe
Smart Money Score Calculation – Evaluates Order Block component via ATR-normalized distance producing max 100-point contribution weighted at 25%, assesses FVG factor through age penalty and distance at 20% weight, calculates Liquidity proximity at 20%, incorporates structure bias (±50-100 points) at 20%, adds MTF component at 15%, applies 3-period smoothing to reduce volatility
Visual Rendering and Lifecycle – Draws Order Block boxes, Fair Value Gap rectangles with color coding (green/red active, gray mitigated), extends liquidity dashed lines with fade-by-age opacity, plots BOS labels, displays Smart Money Score dashboard, continuously updates checking mitigation conditions and removing elements exceeding age/display limits
💡Note:
The Smart Money Flow Index combines multiple Smart Money Concepts into unified institutional order flow analysis. For optimal results, use the Smart Money Score as confluence filter rather than standalone entry signal – scores above 70 indicate high-probability setups but should be combined with risk management, higher timeframe bias, and market regime understanding.
TMB Invest - Smart Money Concept StrategyEnglish:
**Quick Overview**
The "TMB_SMC_Strategy_v1.1.3" combines a classic trend filter using two EMAs with contrarian RSI entries and simple SMC elements (Fair Value Gaps & Order Blocks). Stop-loss and take-profit orders are volatility-adaptive and controlled via the ATR. An integrated dashboard displays the setup status, stop-loss/take-profit levels, entry reference, and trend, RSI, and ATR values.
---
## Operating Principle
1. **Trend Filter:** A fast EMA (default 50) is compared to a slow EMA (default 200). Trading occurs only in the direction of the trend: long in uptrends, short in downtrends.
2. **Timing via RSI:** Contrarian entries within the trend. Go long when the RSI is below a buy level (default 40); Short when the RSI is above a sell level (standard 60).
3. **Structure Check (SMC Proxy):** An "FVG Touch" serves as additional confirmation that an inefficient price zone has been tested. Order blocks are visualized for guidance but are not a direct entry trigger.
4. **Risk Management via ATR:** Stop-loss and take-profit levels are set as multipliers of the current ATR (e.g., SL = 1×ATR, TP = 2×ATR). This allows target and risk distances to adjust to market volatility.
5. **Simple Position Logic:** Only one position is held at a time (no pyramiding). After entry, stop and limit orders (bracket exit) are automatically placed.
---
## Input Values
* **EMA Fast / EMA Slow:** Lengths of the moving averages for the trend filter.
* **RSI Length / Levels:** Length of the RSI as well as buy and sell thresholds (contra signals within the trend direction).
* **Take Profit (RR) / Stop Loss (RR):** ATR multipliers for TP and SL.
* **Show FVGs & Order Blocks:** Toggles the visual SMC elements (zones/boxes) on or off.
--
## Signals & Execution
* **Long Setup:** Uptrend (fast EMA above slow EMA) **and** RSI below the buy level **and** a current FVG signal in a bullish direction.
* **Short Setup:** Downtrend (fast EMA below slow EMA) **and** RSI above the sell level **and** a current FVG touch in a bearish direction.
* **Entry & Exit:** If the setup is met, the market is entered; stop-loss/take-profit orders are placed immediately according to ATR multiples.
--
## Visualization
* **EMAs:** The fast and slow EMAs are plotted to illustrate the trend.
* **FVGs:** Fair Value Gaps are drawn as semi-transparent boxes in the trend color and projected slightly into the future.
* **Order Blocks:** Potential order block zones from the previous candle are visually highlighted (for informational purposes only).
---
## Integrated Dashboard
A compact table dashboard (bottom left) displays:
* Current **Setup Status** (Long/Short active, Long/Short ready, No Setup),
* **Stop-Loss**, **Take-Profit**, and **Entry Reference**,
* **Trend Status** (Bull/Bear/Sideways),
* **RSI Value**, and **ATR Value**.
Active long/short positions are highlighted in color (green/red).
--
## Practical Guide
1. **Place on Chart** and select the desired timeframe.
2. **Calibrate Parameters** (EMA lengths, RSI levels, ATR multipliers) to match the market and timeframe.
3. **Backtest** across different market phases; prioritize robustness over maximum curve fit.
4. **Fine-Tuning:**
* Shorter EMAs are often useful intraday (e.g., 20/100 or 34/144).
* Adjust RSI levels to market characteristics (45/55 for aggressive trading, 30/70 for conservative trading).
* Increase or decrease ATR multipliers depending on volatility/trading style.
--
## Notes, Limitations & Extensions
* **FVG Definition:** The FVG detection used here is intentionally simplified. Those who prefer a more rigorous approach can switch to a 3-candle definition and fill levels.
* **Order Blocks:** These primarily serve as a guide. Integration into entry/exit logic (e.g., retests) is possible as an extension.
* **Backtest Realism:** Fills may differ from the displayed closing price. For greater accuracy, intrabar backtests or an entry indicator based on the average position price are conceivable.
* **Alerts:** Currently, no alert conditions are defined; these can be added for long/short setups and status messages.
* **Position Management:** By default, no scaling is performed. Partial sales, trailing stops, or multiple entries can be added.

## Purpose & Benefits
The strategy offers a clear, modular framework: trend filter (direction), RSI contra timing (entry), SMC proxy via FVG Touch (structure), and ATR-based exits (risk adaptation). This makes it robust, easy to understand, and highly extensible—both for discretionary traders who appreciate visual SMC elements and for systematic testers who prefer a clean, parameterizable foundation.

Smart Risk - Three Institutional Models📘 Smart Risk – Three Institutional Entry Models
A precision-engineered institutional framework that blends liquidity, structure, and multi-time-frame confirmation.
🧠 Concept Overview
The Smart Risk indicator models how institutional traders and algorithms engineer entries around liquidity, imbalance, and structural shifts .
It unifies t hree distinct institutional entry models —each built around core Smart Money Concepts (SMC)—and enhances them with a Multi-Time-Frame Confluence (MTF) engine for directional alignment.
This tool doesn’t simply merge indicators.
It connects l iquidity sweeps, order-block reactions, breaker validation, and fair-value-gap mitigation into one cohesive trading logic—filtering every setup through trend, structure, and volume confirmation.
⚙️ How It Works
Setup #1 – Liquidity Sweep + Order Block Revisit + FVG Mitigation
Identifies engineered stop-hunts where price sweeps external liquidity and returns to a prior Order Block or Fair Value Gap (FVG).
Signals reversal-style entries with high probability of mean-reversion or mitigation.
Setup #2 – Supply/Demand + Mitigation / Breaker / FVG Continuation
Captures continuation trades inside trending structure.
When trend bias (via moving-average context) aligns with breaker or mitigation blocks, signals confirm institutional continuation sequences.
Setup #3 – Sweep + Classic FVG Reaction
Tracks clean displacement gaps following a liquidity sweep—ideal for scalpers and intraday reversals where imbalances act as magnets for price.
Each setup can be independently enabled or disabled from the panel.
A built-in signal-cooldown prevents repetitive triggers on the same leg.
🕒 Multi-Time-Frame Confluence
The new MTF module aligns lower-time-frame precision entries with higher-time-frame market structure.
When enabled, each setup only validates if the HTF trend confirms the same directional bias as the LTF pattern—e.g. a 5-minute bullish FVG signal requires a bullish 1-hour structure.
This ensures institutional logic respects global liquidity flow and avoids counter-trend traps.
MTF Controls:
• ✅ Enable MTF Confluence toggle
• ⏱️ Lower Time-Frame (LTF) selector (default 5 min)
• ⏱️ Higher Time-Frame (HTF) selector (default 1 hour)
• 🔄 Automatic SMA-based HTF trend detection
🎨 Visualization & Dashboard
• Order Block / Supply–Demand Zones — highlight institutional footprints
• Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) — reveal displacement inefficiencies
• Liquidity Sweeps (X / $) — mark engineered stops
• BOS & CHoCH — confirm structure continuation or reversal
• Compact Dashboard — live “Armed” state for each setup and MTF bias
Color-coded background cues emphasize active trade phases without clutter.
🧩 Core Algorithm Highlights
• Dynamic swing and pivot structure detection
• Breaker / Mitigation / Volume confirmation filters
• Fair-Value-Gap logic with directional alignment
• Cooldown control for signal throttling
• Multi-Time-Frame bias filter for contextual precision
