ICT Donchian Smart Money Structure (Expo)█ Concept Overview
The Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology is focused on understanding the actions and implications of the so-called "smart money" - large institutions and professional traders who often influence market movements. Key to this is the concept of market structure and how it can provide insights into potential price moves.
Over time, however, there has been a notable shift in how some traders interpret and apply this methodology. Initially, it was designed with a focus on the fractal nature of markets. Fractals are recurring patterns in price action that are self-similar across different time scales, providing a nuanced and dynamic understanding of market structure.
However, as the ICT methodology has grown in popularity, there has been a drift away from this fractal-based perspective. Instead, many traders have started to focus more on pivot points as their primary tool for understanding market structure.
Pivot points provide static levels of potential support and resistance. While they can be useful in some contexts, relying heavily on them could provide a skewed perspective of market structure. They offer a static, backward-looking view that may not accurately reflect real-time changes in market sentiment or the dynamic nature of markets.
This shift from a fractal-based perspective to a pivot point perspective has significant implications. It can lead traders to misinterpret market structure and potentially make incorrect trading decisions.
To highlight this issue, you've developed a Donchian Structure indicator that mirrors the use of pivot points. The Donchian Channels are formed by the highest high and the lowest low over a certain period, providing another representation of potential market extremes. The fact that the Donchian Structure indicator produces the same results as pivot points underscores the inherent limitations of relying too heavily on these tools.
While the Donchian Structure indicator or pivot points can be useful tools, they should not replace the original, fractal-based perspective of the ICT methodology. These tools can provide a broad overview of market structure but may not capture the intricate dynamics and real-time changes that a fractal-based approach can offer.
It's essential for traders to understand these differences and to apply these tools correctly within the broader context of the ICT methodology and the Smart Money Concept Structure. A well-rounded approach that incorporates fractals, along with other tools and forms of analysis, is likely to provide a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of market structure.
█ Smart Money Concept - Misunderstandings
The Smart Money Concept is a popular concept among traders, and it's based on the idea that the "smart money" - typically large institutional investors, market makers, and professional traders - have superior knowledge or information, and their actions can provide valuable insight for other traders.
One of the biggest misunderstandings with this concept is the belief that tracking smart money activity can guarantee profitable trading.
█ Here are a few common misconceptions:
Following Smart Money Equals Guaranteed Success: Many traders believe that if they can follow the smart money, they will be successful. However, tracking the activity of large institutional investors and other professionals isn't easy, as they use complex strategies, have access to information not available to the public, and often intentionally hide their moves to prevent others from detecting their strategies.
Instantaneous Reaction and Results: Another misconception is that market movements will reflect smart money actions immediately. However, large institutions often slowly accumulate or distribute positions over time to avoid moving the market drastically. As a result, their actions might not produce an immediate noticeable effect on the market.
Smart Money Always Wins: It's not accurate to assume that smart money always makes the right decisions. Even the most experienced institutional investors and professional traders make mistakes, misjudge market conditions, or are affected by unpredictable events.
Smart Money Activity is Transparent: Understanding what constitutes smart money activity can be quite challenging. There are many indicators and metrics that traders use to try and track smart money, such as the COT (Commitments of Traders) reports, Level II market data, block trades, etc. However, these can be difficult to interpret correctly and are often misleading.
Assuming Uniformity Among Smart Money: 'Smart Money' is not a monolithic entity. Different institutional investors and professional traders have different strategies, risk tolerances, and investment horizons. What might be a good trade for a long-term institutional investor might not be a good trade for a short-term professional trader, and vice versa.
█ Market Structure
The Smart Money Concept Structure deals with the interpretation of price action that forms the market structure, focusing on understanding key shifts or changes in the market that may indicate where 'smart money' (large institutional investors and professional traders) might be moving in the market.
█ Three common concepts in this regard are Change of Character (CHoCH), and Shift in Market Structure (SMS), Break of Structure (BMS/BoS).
Change of Character (CHoCH): This refers to a noticeable change in the behavior of price movement, which could suggest that a shift in the market might be about to occur. This might be signaled by a sudden increase in volatility, a break of a trendline, or a change in volume, among other things.
Shift in Market Structure (SMS): This is when the overall structure of the market changes, suggesting a potential new trend. It usually involves a sequence of lower highs and lower lows for a downtrend, or higher highs and higher lows for an uptrend.
Break of Structure (BMS/BoS): This is when a previously defined trend or pattern in the price structure is broken, which may suggest a trend continuation.
A key component of this approach is the use of fractals, which are repeating patterns in price action that can give insights into potential market reversals. They appear at all scales of a price chart, reflecting the self-similar nature of markets.
█ Market Structure - Misunderstandings
One of the biggest misunderstandings about the ICT approach is the over-reliance or incorrect application of pivot points. Pivot points are a popular tool among traders due to their simplicity and easy-to-understand nature. However, when it comes to the Smart Money Concept and trying to follow the steps of professional traders or large institutions, relying heavily on pivot points can create misconceptions and lead to confusion. Here's why:
Delayed and Static Information: Pivot points are inherently backward-looking because they're calculated based on the previous period's data. As such, they may not reflect real-time market dynamics or sudden changes in market sentiment. Furthermore, they present a static view of market structure, delineating pre-defined levels of support and resistance. This static nature can be misleading because markets are fundamentally dynamic and constantly changing due to countless variables.
Inadequate Representation of Market Complexity: Markets are influenced by a myriad of factors, including economic indicators, geopolitical events, institutional actions, and market sentiment, among others. Relying on pivot points alone for reading market structure oversimplifies this complexity and can lead to a myopic understanding of market dynamics.
False Signals and Misinterpretations: Pivot points can often give false signals, especially in volatile markets. Prices might react to these levels temporarily but then continue in the original direction, leading to potential misinterpretation of market structure and sentiment. Also, a trader might wrongly perceive a break of a pivot point as a significant market event, when in fact, it could be due to random price fluctuations or temporary volatility.
Over-simplification: Viewing market structure only through the lens of pivot points simplifies the market to static levels of support and resistance, which can lead to misinterpretation of market dynamics. For instance, a trader might view a break of a pivot point as a definite sign of a trend, when it could just be a temporary price spike.
Ignoring the Fractal Nature of Markets: In the context of the Smart Money Concept Structure, understanding the fractal nature of markets is crucial. Fractals are self-similar patterns that repeat at all scales and provide a more dynamic and nuanced understanding of market structure. They can help traders identify shifts in market sentiment or direction in real-time, providing more relevant and timely information compared to pivot points.
The key takeaway here is not that pivot points should be entirely avoided or that they're useless. They can provide valuable insights and serve as a useful tool in a trader's toolbox when used correctly. However, they should not be the sole or primary method for understanding the market structure, especially in the context of the Smart Money Concept Structure.
█ Fractals
Instead, traders should aim for a comprehensive understanding of markets that incorporates a range of tools and concepts, including but not limited to fractals, order flow, volume analysis, fundamental analysis, and, yes, even pivot points. Fractals offer a more dynamic and nuanced view of the market. They reflect the recursive nature of markets and can provide valuable insights into potential market reversals. Because they appear at all scales of a price chart, they can provide a more holistic and real-time understanding of market structure.
In contrast, the Smart Money Concept Structure, focusing on fractals and comprehensive market analysis, aims to capture a more holistic and real-time view of the market. Fractals, being self-similar patterns that repeat at different scales, offer a dynamic understanding of market structure. As a result, they can help to identify shifts in market sentiment or direction as they happen, providing a more detailed and timely perspective.
Furthermore, a comprehensive market analysis would consider a broader set of factors, including order flow, volume analysis, and fundamental analysis, which could provide additional insights into 'smart money' actions.
█ Donchian Structure
Donchian Channels are a type of indicator used in technical analysis to identify potential price breakouts and trends, and they may also serve as a tool for understanding market structure. The channels are formed by taking the highest high and the lowest low over a certain number of periods, creating an envelope of price action.
Donchian Channels (or pivot points) can be useful tools for providing a general view of market structure, and they may not capture the intricate dynamics associated with the Smart Money Concept Structure. A more nuanced approach, centered on real-time fractals and a comprehensive analysis of various market factors, offers a more accurate understanding of 'smart money' actions and market structure.
█ Here is why Donchian Structure may be misleading:
Lack of Nuance: Donchian Channels, like pivot points, provide a simplified view of market structure. They don't take into account the nuanced behaviors of price action or the complex dynamics between buyers and sellers that can be critical in the Smart Money Concept Structure.
Limited Insights into 'Smart Money' Actions: While Donchian Channels can highlight potential breakout points and trends, they don't necessarily provide insights into the actions of 'smart money'. These large institutional traders often use sophisticated strategies that can't be easily inferred from price action alone.
█ Indicator Overview
We have built this Donchian Structure indicator to show that it returns the same results as using pivot points. The Donchian Structure indicator can be a useful tool for market analysis. However, it should not be seen as a direct replacement or equivalent to the original Smart Money concept, nor should any indicator based on pivot points. The indicator highlights the importance of understanding what kind of trading tools we use and how they can affect our decisions.
The Donchian Structure Indicator displays CHoCH, SMS, BoS/BMS, as well as premium and discount areas. This indicator plots everything in real-time and allows for easy backtesting on any market and timeframe. A unique candle coloring has been added to make it more engaging and visually appealing when identifying new trading setups and strategies. This candle coloring is "leading," meaning it can signal a structural change before it actually happens, giving traders ample time to plan their next trade accordingly.
█ How to use
The indicator is great for traders who want to simplify their view on the market structure and easily backtest Smart Money Concept Strategies. The added candle coloring function serves as a heads-up for structure change or can be used as trend confirmation. This new candle coloring feature can generate many new Smart Money Concepts strategies.
█ Features
Market Structure
The market structure is based on the Donchian channel, to which we have added what we call 'Structure Response'. This addition makes the indicator more useful, especially in trending markets. The core concept involves traders buying at a discount and selling or shorting at a premium, depending on the order flow. Structure response enables traders to determine the order flow more clearly. Consequently, more trading opportunities will appear in trending markets.
Structure Candles
Structure Candles highlight the current order flow and are significantly more responsive to structural changes. They can provide traders with a heads-up before a break in structure occurs

⭐ Key Features
Swing Market Structure: Change of Character, Break of Structure
Recognize and visualize real-time market structures with swing elements. Identify and mark key structural changes in the market to visually highlight shifts in market trends and patterns. This feature is designed to alert you to significant changes in the market's behavior, signaling a potential shift from accumulation to distribution phases, or vice versa. It helps traders adapt their strategies based on evolving market dynamics.
Order Flow: Structure Fractal
Connect the successive structural high and low levels, visualizing the intricate flow of market movements. This feature highlights fractal structures within the market, enabling traders to detect significant price action patterns.
Structure Range: Determine Discount, Premium, and Equilibrium Zones
This feature provides a unique way of visualizing price areas where a security could be overbought or oversold (premium or discount zones) and where the price is expected to be fair and balanced (equilibrium zone). Distance from the current price is displayed in percentage terms, which can assist traders with crucial data for risk management and strategic planning. The Range function helps you identify the most favorable price zones for entries and set your stop-loss and take-profit levels more accurately.
Liquidity Grabs: Reveal Hidden Manipulation Attempts
Identify uncovered market areas where high liquidity trading may take place. Liquidity Grabs help track "smart money" footprints by identifying levels where large institutional traders may have induced liquidity traps. Understanding these traps can aid in avoiding false market moves and optimizing trade entries.
Institutional Interest Zones: Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps
Uncover areas where bigger orders may be lined up. Reveal zones of interest ordered by volume strength. Receive warnings about market price imbalances.
▸ Order Blocks pinpoint crucial zones where large institutional investors ("smart money") have shown strong buying or selling interest recently. These blocks can serve as a tool for identifying key areas for potential trade entries or exits.
▸ Fair Value Gaps detect discrepancies between the perceived market value and the actual market price, revealing potential areas for price correction. With its mitigation settings, you can fine-tune the FVG detection according to the magnitude of value misalignment you consider significant.
Mitigation types dictate how price interacts with a zone, with order blocks requiring a close through (indicating stronger price movement) and fair value gaps requiring a wick through (hinting at weak rejection).

⭐ Why SMC?
In the ever-evolving trading landscape, mainstream methods and strategies can quickly become outdated as they are widely adopted. Liquidity is constantly sought after, and the best source for this is exploring and exploiting trading strategies that are widely accepted and applied. Currently, one of these strategies is the SMC (Supply, Demand, and Price Action).
It's no coincidence that our educational materials incorporate concepts such as liquidity grabs (LG) and Smart Money Traps (SMT). As the application of SMC gains popularity among retail traders, trading with this approach becomes more challenging. Therefore, the recent focus has been on reforming the SMC methodology, as it is the only method that relies on real price movements and will always work when applied correctly.
The indicator reflects our personal use and deep comprehension of Smart Money Concepts. It provides streamlined tools for tracking algorithmic trends with modern visualizations, without unnecessary clutter.
▸ What does the proper application of SMC entail?
Many SMC traders associate their key areas of interest with the market structure, which is generally considered acceptable. However, depending solely on a single foundation can lead to significant deviations, which may cause notable impacts on trading results. Moreover, if the basis for the market structure calculation is inaccurate, the consequences can be even more severe. It's akin to risking money on a lottery ticket, believing it will be a winner.
Our methodology is different, and it may ensure longevity in the financial markets. The structure remains crucial, but it is not the sole foundation of everything; instead, it serves as a validation tool. Each calculation, such as order blocks (OB), Fair Value Gaps (FVG), liquidity grabs (LG), range analysis, and more, is independent and unique, separate from the structure. However, validation must ultimately come from the structure itself.
We employ individual and high-quality filters: before a function calculation is validated by the structure, it must undergo rigorous testing based on its own set of validation conditions. This approach aims to enhance robustness and accuracy, providing traders with a reliable framework for making informed trading decisions.
▸ An example of structure validation: Order Block with "Swing Sensitivity"
These order blocks will only be displayed and utilized by the script if there is a swing structure validation with a valid break. In other words, the presence of a confirmed swing Change of Character (ChoCh) or Break of Structure (BoS) is essential for the Order Block to be considered valid and relevant.
This approach ensures that the order blocks are aligned with the overall market structure and are not based on isolated or unreliable price movements. Whether it's Fair Value Gaps (FVG), Liquidity Grabs (LG), Range calculations, or other functionalities, the same underlying principle holds true. The background structure calculation serves as a validation mechanism for the data and insights generated by these functions, ensuring they adhere to the specific criteria and rules established within our methodology. By incorporating this robust validation process, traders can have confidence in the reliability and accuracy of the information provided by the indicator, allowing them to make informed trading decisions based on validated data and analysis.

👉 Usage - the general approach
Determine your trading style and build your basic strategy:
The indicator helps you understand your trading style, whether it's swing trading, scalping or another approach. By analyzing the SMC indicator, you gain valuable information about potential market trends, entry and exit points, and overall market sentiment.
Steps:
Identify Trading Style: Determine whether you are a swing trader, scalper, or long-term investor. This will influence how you use the indicator.
Analyze Market Trends: Use the SMC indicator to observe market trends and identify potential entry and exit points.
Adapt Strategies: Adjust your strategies based on the market dynamics revealed by the SMC indicator, such as changes in order flow or market structure.
👉 Example of usage
In the following chart, you'll notice how we've utilized the indicator to formulate a strategic trading approach. We've employed Order Blocks equipped with volume parameters to identify crucial market zones. Simultaneously, we've leveraged swing/internal market structures to gain insights into potential long- and short-term market turnarounds. Lastly, we've examined trend line liquidity zones to pinpoint probable impulses and breakouts within ongoing trends.
Now we can see how the price descended to the order block with the highest volume, which we had previously marked as our point of interest for an entry. As the price closed below the median Order Block, we noted its mitigation. After an internal CHoCH, it's directing us towards the main Order Block as a target.

SMT Oscillator: Smarter Money Divergence Detector [PhenLabs]📊Phenlabs - SMT Oscillator: Smarter Money Divergence Detector
Version: PineScript™v6
📌Description
The SMT Oscillator is a sophisticated tool designed to identify smart money divergence between two correlated assets. By analyzing the momentum and volume-weighted price action of a primary and secondary symbol, traders can spot subtle shifts in market dynamics that often precede significant price movements. This indicator is built to provide a clearer, more filtered view of inter-market relationships, solving the common problem of false signals and market noise. Its primary purpose is to equip traders with a quantifiable edge in detecting potential reversals or continuations that are not obvious on a standard price chart.
🚀Points of Innovation
Dual-Symbol Divergence Core: Directly compares momentum (RSI or MACD) between two user-selected symbols to pinpoint true SMT divergence.
Volume-Weighted Analysis: Integrates volume delta into the divergence calculation, giving more weight to moves backed by significant market participation.
Entropy Filter for Noise Reduction: Employs an entropy calculation to filter out low-quality signals during choppy or consolidating market conditions.
Predictive Forecast Line: Utilizes a linear regression model to project the oscillator’s future trajectory, offering a forward-looking glimpse of potential momentum shifts.
Customizable Signal Sensitivity: Allows fine-tuning of overbought and oversold levels to adapt to different market volatilities and trading styles.
Integrated Signal Alerts: Provides built-in alerts for bullish/bearish zero crosses and overbought/oversold conditions.
🔧Core Components
Momentum Engine: The user can select either RSI or MACD as the underlying engine for the divergence calculation, allowing for flexibility in analysis.
Normalization Function: Price data from both symbols is normalized using percentage change to ensure a true “apples-to-apples” comparison, regardless of their nominal price differences.
Divergence Calculator: The core algorithm that subtracts the secondary symbol’s momentum from the primary’s and normalizes the result using the combined standard deviation.
Smoothing Mechanism: An Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is applied to the raw oscillator output to reduce choppiness and provide a clearer signal line.
🔥Key Features
Multi-Asset Comparison: Go beyond single-asset analysis by comparing correlated pairs like ES/NQ or BTC/ETH to uncover hidden trading opportunities.
Heatmap Visualization: An optional heatmap mode provides an intuitive visual representation of divergence strength, making it easier to gauge market sentiment at a glance.
Configurable Lookback and Timeframe: Adjust the lookback period and analysis timeframe to suit your specific strategy, from short-term scalping to long-term trend analysis.
Signal Markers: Visual markers are plotted directly on the chart for bullish and bearish zero-line crossovers, providing clear entry and exit signals.
🎨Visualization
SMT Oscillator Line: The primary visual element, colored blue for bullish (positive) divergence and orange for bearish (negative) divergence.
Zero Line: A solid horizontal line at the zero level, indicating the equilibrium point between the two assets. Crossovers of this line signal a shift in relative strength.
Overbought/Oversold Zones: Dotted lines at the +80 and -80 levels (customizable) that highlight extreme divergence readings, often indicating potential exhaustion points.
Forecast Line: A predictive line that plots the anticipated path of the oscillator, giving traders an advanced warning of potential changes in momentum.
📖Usage Guidelines
Setting Categories
Primary Symbol
Default: (Chart Symbol)
Description: The main asset you are analyzing. Leave blank to use the symbol currently on your chart.
Secondary Symbol
Default: CME_MINI:ES1! (used with NASDAQ futures due to inherent heavy correlation
Description: The asset to compare against the primary symbol.
Lookback Period
Default: 14
Range: 8-100
Description: Controls the calculation window for momentum (RSI/MACD). Higher values result in a smoother, less sensitive oscillator.
Divergence Type
Default: RSI
Options: RSI, MACD
Description: Choose the momentum indicator to use for the divergence calculation.
Enable Volume Weighting
Default: true
Description: When enabled, gives more weight to divergence signals that are accompanied by significant volume.
✅Best Use Cases
Identifying high-probability reversal points by spotting divergence in overbought or oversold territory.
Confirming the strength of a trend by observing sustained positive or negative divergence.
Pairs trading by taking a long position on the outperforming asset and a short position on the underperforming one during a divergence.
Risk management by recognizing when a current trend is losing its underlying momentum.
⚠️Limitations
Requires Correlated Assets: The indicator’s effectiveness is highly dependent on the selection of two assets with a known correlation (e.g., ES and NQ).
Not a Standalone System: Divergence signals should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis (price action, market structure) and not as a complete trading system.
Lagging by Nature: As it is based on moving averages and past price data, the oscillator is inherently lagging and may not capture all rapid price changes.
💡What Makes This Unique
Combined Momentum & Volume: Unlike standard oscillators, it fuses momentum with volume delta for a more robust “Smart Money” perspective.
Noise-Filtering Mechanism: The proprietary entropy filter is a unique feature designed to weed out insignificant market chatter and focus on high-conviction signals.
🔬How It Works
Data Normalization:
The script first normalizes the price data of the two selected symbols into percentage changes. This ensures that the comparison is fair, regardless of the difference in their price scales.
Momentum Calculation:
It then calculates the chosen momentum value (either RSI or MACD histogram) for each of the normalized price series.
Divergence Computation:
The core of the indicator lies in subtracting the momentum of the secondary symbol from the primary one. This raw divergence is then optionally weighted by volume and filtered for market noise (entropy) to produce the final oscillator value.
💡Note:
For best results, use this indicator on adequate timeframes to filter out market noise. Always confirm signals with price action analysis before entering a trade.

🔵 BASIC DEMONSTRATION OF ALL FEATURES
1. MARKET STRUCTURE
The preceding image illustrates the market structure functionality within the Smart Money Concepts indicator.
➤ Solid lines: These represent the core indicator's internal structure, forming the foundation for most other components. They visually depict the overall market direction and identify major reversal points marked by significant price movements (denoted as 'x').
➤ Internal Structure: These represent an alternative internal structure with the potential to drive more rapid market shifts. This is particularly relevant when a significant gap exists in the established swing structure, specifically between the Break of Structure (BOS) and the most recent Change of High/Low (CHoCH). Identifying these formations can offer opportunities for quicker entries and potential short-term reversals.
➤ Sweeps (x): These signify potential turning points in the market where liquidity is removed from the structure. This suggests a possible trend reversal and presents crucial entry opportunities. Sweeps are identified within both swing and internal structures, providing valuable insights for informed trading decisions.
➤ Mapping structure: A tool that automatically identifies and connects significant price highs and lows, creating a zig-zag pattern. It visualizes market structure, highlights trends, support/resistance levels, and potential breakouts. Helps traders quickly grasp price action patterns and make informed decisions.
➤ Color-coded candles based on market structure: These colors visually represent the underlying market structure, making it easier for traders to quickly identify trends.
➤ Extreme H&L: It visualizes market structure with extreme high and lows, which gives perspective for macro Market Structure.
2. VOLUMETRIC ORDER BLOCKS
Order blocks are specific areas on a financial chart where significant buying or selling activity has occurred. These are not just simple zones; they contain valuable information about market dynamics. Within each of these order blocks, volume bars represent the actual buying and selling activity that took place. These volume bars offer deeper insights into the strength of the order block by showing how much buying or selling power is concentrated in that specific zone.
Additionally, these order blocks can be transformed into Breaker Blocks. When an order block fails—meaning the price breaks through this zone without reversing—it becomes a breaker block. Breaker blocks are particularly useful for trading breakouts, as they signal that the market has shifted beyond a previously established zone, offering opportunities for traders to enter in the direction of the breakout.
Here's a breakdown:
➤ Bear Order Blocks (Red): These are zones where a lot of selling happened. Traders see these areas as places where sellers were strong, pushing the price down. When the price returns to these zones, it might face resistance and drop again.
➤ Bull Order Blocks (Green): These are zones where a lot of buying happened. Traders see these areas as places where buyers were strong, pushing the price up. When the price returns to these zones, it might find support and rise again.
These Order Blocks help traders identify potential areas for entering or exiting trades based on past market activity. The volume bars inside blocks show the amount of trading activity that occurred in these blocks, giving an idea of the strength of buying or selling pressure.
➤ Breaker Block: When an order block fails, meaning the price breaks through this zone without reversing, it becomes a breaker block. This indicates a significant shift in market liquidity and structure.
➤ A bearish breaker block occurs after a bullish order block fails. This typically happens when there's an upward trend, and a certain level that was expected to support the market's rise instead gives way, leading to a sharp decline. This decline indicates that sellers have overcome the buyers, absorbing liquidity and shifting the sentiment from bullish to bearish.
Conversely, a bullish breaker block is formed from the failure of a bearish order block. In a downtrend, when a level that was expected to act as resistance is breached, and the price shoots up, it signifies that buyers have taken control, overpowering the sellers.
3. FAIR VALUE GAPS:
A fair value gap (FVG), also referred to as an imbalance, is an essential concept in Smart Money trading. It highlights the supply and demand dynamics. This gap arises when there's a notable difference between the volume of buy and sell orders. FVGs can be found across various asset classes, including forex, commodities, stocks, and cryptocurrencies.
FVGs in this toolkit have the ability to detect raids of FVG which helps to identify potential price reversals.
Mitigation option helps to change from what source FVGs will be identified: Close, Wicks or AVG.
4. SWING FAILURE PATTERN (SFP):
The Swing Failure Pattern is a liquidity engineering pattern, generally used to fill large orders. This means, the SFP generally occurs when larger players push the price into liquidity pockets with the sole objective of filling their own positions.
SFP is a technical analysis tool designed to identify potential market reversals. It works by detecting instances where the price briefly breaks a previous high or low but fails to maintain that breakout, quickly reversing direction.
How it works:
Pattern Detection: The indicator scans for price movements that breach recent highs or lows.
Reversal Confirmation: If the price quickly reverses after breaching these levels, it's identified as an SFP.
➤ SFP Display:
Bullish SFP: Marked with a green symbol when price drops below a recent low before reversing upwards.
Bearish SFP: Marked with a red symbol when price rises above a recent high before reversing downwards.
➤ Deviation Levels: After detecting an SFP, the indicator projects white lines showing potential price deviation:
For bullish SFPs, the deviation line appears above the current price.
For bearish SFPs, the deviation line appears below the current price.
These deviation levels can serve as a potential trading opportunity or areas where the reversal might lose momentum.
With Volume Threshold and Filtering of SFP traders can adjust their trading style:
Volume Threshold: This setting allows traders to filter SFPs based on the volume of the reversal candle. By setting a higher volume threshold, traders can focus on potentially more significant reversals that are backed by higher trading activity.
SFP Filtering: This feature enables traders to filter SFP detection. It includes parameters such as:
5. LIQUIDITY CONCEPTS:
➤ Equal Lows (EQL) and Equal Highs (EQH) are important concepts in liquidity-based trading.
EQL: A series of two or more swing lows that occur at approximately the same price level.
EQH: A series of two or more swing highs that occur at approximately the same price level.
EQLs and EQHs are seen as potential liquidity pools where a large number of stop loss orders or limit orders may be clustered. They can be used as potential reverse points for trades.
This multi-period feature allows traders to select less and more significant EQL and EQH:
➤ Liquidity wicks:
Liquidity wicks are a minor representation of a stop-loss hunt during the retracement of a pivot point:
➤ Buy and Sell side liquidity:
The buy side liquidity represents a concentration of potential buy orders below the current price level. When price moves into this area, it can lead to increased buying pressure due to the execution of these orders.
The sell side liquidity indicates a pool of potential sell orders below the current price level. Price movement into this area can result in increased selling pressure as these orders are executed.
➤ Sweep Liquidation Zones:
Sweep Liquidation Zones are crucial for understanding market structure and potential future price movements. They provide insights into areas where significant market participants have been forced out of their positions, potentially setting up new trading opportunities.
🔵 USAGE & EXAMPLES
The core principle behind the success of this toolkit lies in identifying "confluence." This refers to the convergence of multiple trading indicators all signaling the same information at a specific point or area. By seeking such alignment, traders can significantly enhance the likelihood of successful trades.
MS + OBs
The chart illustrates a highly bullish setup where the price is rejecting from a bullish order block (POC), while simultaneously forming a bullish Swing Failure Pattern (SFP). This occurs after an internal structure change, marked by a bullish Change of Character (CHoCH). The price broke through a bearish order block, transforming it into a breaker block, further confirming the bullish momentum.
The combination of these elements—bullish order blocks, SFP, and CHoCH—creates a powerful bullish signal, reinforcing the potential for upward movement in the market.
SFP + Bear OB
This chart above displays a bearish setup with a high probability of a price move lower. The price is currently rejecting from a bear order block, which represents a key resistance area where significant selling pressure has previously occurred. A Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) has also formed near this bear order block, indicating that the price briefly attempted to break above a recent high but failed to sustain that upward movement. This failure suggests that buyers are losing momentum, and the market could be preparing for a move to the downside.
Additionally, we can toggle on the Deviation Area in the SFP section to highlight potential levels where price deviation might occur. These deviation areas represent zones where the price is likely to react after the Swing Failure Pattern:
BUY – SELL sides + EQL
The chart showcases a bullish setup with a high probability of price breaking out of the current sell-side resistance level. The market structure indicates a formation of Equal Lows (EQL), which often suggests a build-up of liquidity that could drive the price higher.
The presence of strong buy-side pressure (69%), indicated by the green zone at the bottom, reinforces this bullish outlook. This area represents a key support zone where buyers are outpacing sellers, providing the foundation for a potential upward breakout.
EQL + Bull ChoCh
This chart illustrates a potential bullish setup, driven by the formation of Equal Lows (EQL) followed by a bullish Change of Character (CHoCH). The presence of Equal Lows often signals a liquidity build-up, which can lead to a reversal when combined with additional bullish signals.
Liquidity grab + Bull ChoCh + FVGs
This chart demonstrates a strong bullish scenario, where several important market dynamics are at play. The price begins its upward momentum from Liquidity grab following a bullish Change of Character (CHoCH), signaling the transition from a bearish phase to a bullish one.
As the price progresses, it performs liquidity grabs, which serve to gather the necessary fuel for further movement. These liquidity grabs often occur before significant price surges, as large market participants exploit these areas to accumulate positions before pushing the price higher.
The chart also highlights a market imbalance area, showing strong momentum as the price moves swiftly through this zone.
In this examples, we see how the combination of multiple “smart money” tools helps identify a potential trade opportunities. This is just one of the many scenarios that traders can spot using this toolkit. Other combinations—such as order blocks, liquidity grabs, fair value gaps, and Swing Failure Patterns (SFPs)—can also be layered on top of these concepts to further refine your trading strategy.

Trade Entry Check list - Smart Money ConceptThe indicator you see is written to evaluate the input parameters for a trade. Since my own style is smart money, and I always used to write on paper or mentally calculate the necessary inputs for a trade, I wrote this indicator to prevent mental or paper calculations.
This indicator is made up of different sections that you can see in the table and make the necessary changes in the Options section.
The first section is your instrument, which is automatically displayed on every chart.
The next section is the current market, which is written based on smart money and divided into Asia Time, Frankfurt Time, London Time, Lunch Time, and New York Time sections. Depending on our style, we usually do not trade during the Frankfurt Time and Lunch Time sections.
The next section is about the ascending or descending structure of the 4-hour and 15-minute timeframes, which of course, you can change this structure to your desired one.
These two sections have both manual and automatic modes. I went through a lot of trouble for the automatic section, so don't easily skip it and be sure to test it.
The following sections relate to other reasons for entering a trade, which are divided into several sections. The first section is the entry reasons related to my personal strategy, which is completely defined and shows the input calculation in the Calculation section. The second section is your inputs without calculation in the Counter section, and the third section is your personal inputs including the Counter. You have deep access to customizing this table.
Hodie Smart Inside BarThe Hodie Smart Inside Bar indicator automatically detects and visually highlights inside bars — candles fully contained within the range of the previous (parent) candle.
How the indicator works:
Inside Bar Identification:
The indicator analyzes each candle and checks if its high is lower than the previous candle’s high, and its low is higher than the previous candle’s low. If this condition is met, the candle is considered an inside bar.
Size Filtering:
To filter out small and insignificant consolidations, the indicator compares the size of the parent candle’s range to the inside bar’s range. Only if the parent candle is significantly larger (2 times or more — adjustable parameter), the inside bar is considered significant.
Zone Drawing:
For each detected inside bar, the indicator draws a rectangular zone bounded by the parent candle’s high and low. This zone automatically extends to the right as new bars appear until the price moves outside the parent candle’s range.
Zone Completion:
Once the price closes above the parent candle’s high or below its low, the zone is considered complete and stops extending.
Visual Aids:
If enabled, the indicator can shade the background of the current inside bar for additional visual emphasis.
A label with the text "IB" appears above the inside bar candle on the chart for easier identification.
Alerts:
Supports alerts when a new inside bar forms.
Alerts help traders notice important signals promptly.
To activate, create an alert on the indicator with the condition “New Inside Bar”.
Benefits of the Indicator:
Inside bars often signal consolidation and potential liquidity accumulation, which may be followed by a strong impulsive breakout. This indicator helps traders quickly identify consolidation zones and prepare for possible price moves.

52SIGNAL RECIPE Smart Money Detector : CME + Exchanges=================52SIGNAL RECIPE CME-Exchange Smart Money Detector=================
◆ Overview
The 52SIGNAL RECIPE CME-Exchange Smart Money Detector is an advanced technical indicator designed to identify institutional and smart money movements by analyzing and comparing futures markets across both CME and cryptocurrency exchanges. This powerful tool detects coordinated buying and selling patterns that often precede significant price movements, giving traders an edge in anticipating market direction.
What makes this indicator unique is its cross-market verification approach. By requiring confirmation from both CME Bitcoin futures (dominated by institutional players) and crypto exchange futures (with broader market participation), it significantly reduces false signals and identifies high-probability smart money footprints that typically lead market movements.
─────────────────────────────────────
◆ Key Features
• Dual Market Confirmation: Simultaneously analyzes both CME Bitcoin futures and exchange futures charts to identify synchronized smart money activity
• Smart Volume Analysis: Uses advanced algorithms to separate buying and selling volume based on candle structure and price action
• Energy Wave Visualization: Displays smart money signals as intuitive energy waves with varying sizes reflecting signal strength
• Strength Rating System: Quantifies signal strength on a 0-100% scale, with multiple visualization levels (10%+, 40%+, 60%+, 80%+)
• Candlestick Pattern Integration: Incorporates bullish/bearish candle formations to enhance signal reliability
• Volume Spike Detection: Identifies abnormal volume increases that often accompany smart money positioning
• Trend Context Analysis: Evaluates signals in relation to current market trend for higher probability setups
• Dynamic Strength Calculation: Uses a multi-factor model considering volume ratio, buying/selling imbalance, candle structure, and trend alignment
• Transparent Signal Labeling: Displays precise strength percentage values with each signal for clear decision-making
• Real-time Institutional Flow Monitor: Tracks the footprints of large players across both regulated (CME) and crypto exchange markets
─────────────────────────────────────
◆ Understanding Signal Types
■ Buy Signal Energy Waves (Green)
• Definition: Detected when significant buying pressure appears simultaneously on both CME and exchange futures, typically on bearish candles
• Visual Appearance: Green circular waves below price bars, with size/opacity increasing with signal strength
• Market Interpretation: Indicates institutional buying interest even as price is declining, often preceding bullish reversals
• Signal Strength Factors:
▶ Higher buying volume relative to selling volume
▶ Above-average total volume
▶ Lower wicks on bearish candles
▶ Appearance at key support levels
▶ Coinciding with oversold conditions
■ Sell Signal Energy Waves (Red)
• Definition: Detected when significant selling pressure appears simultaneously on both CME and exchange futures, typically on bullish candles
• Visual Appearance: Red circular waves above price bars, with size/opacity increasing with signal strength
• Market Interpretation: Indicates institutional selling interest even as price is rising, often preceding bearish reversals
• Signal Strength Factors:
▶ Higher selling volume relative to buying volume
▶ Above-average total volume
▶ Upper wicks on bullish candles
▶ Appearance at key resistance levels
▶ Coinciding with overbought conditions
─────────────────────────────────────
◆ Signal Strength Understanding
■ The Four Strength Levels
• Level 1 (10-39%): Initial Detection
▶ Visual: Smallest energy wave
▶ Meaning: Early smart money positioning detected
▶ Usage: Early warning, prepare for possible setup
• Level 2 (40-59%): Moderate Strength
▶ Visual: Medium-small energy wave
▶ Meaning: Clearer institutional positioning
▶ Usage: Begin position planning, watch for confirmation
• Level 3 (60-79%): Strong Signal
▶ Visual: Medium-large energy wave
▶ Meaning: Significant smart money footprint
▶ Usage: High-probability setup forming, consider entry
• Level 4 (80-100%): Exceptional Strength
▶ Visual: Largest energy wave
▶ Meaning: Powerful institutional movement confirmed
▶ Usage: Highest probability setup, strong conviction entry point
■ Understanding Signal Strength Calculation
• Volume Component (0-50 points):
▶ Measures how current volume compares to recent average
▶ Maximum points when volume is 2x or higher than average
• Buy/Sell Ratio Component (0-50 points):
▶ Measures imbalance between buying and selling pressure
▶ Maximum points when ratio exceeds predefined multiplier threshold
• Advanced Weighting Factors:
▶ Candle Structure: Body size, wick length, and orientation
▶ Trend Alignment: Signal relationship to current trend
▶ Volume Spike: Abnormal volume increase detection
▶ Cross-Market Confirmation: Strength of signal alignment between CME and exchange
─────────────────────────────────────
◆ Practical Trading Applications
■ Reversal Trading Strategy
• Buy Signal Application:
▶ Setup: Strong buy energy wave (60%+) on a bearish candle
▶ Entry: After confirmation candle following the signal
▶ Stop Loss: Below recent low or 1 ATR below entry
▶ Take Profit: Previous resistance or 1:2 risk-reward minimum
▶ Enhancers: Signal occurring at support zone, oversold conditions, or trend line tests
• Sell Signal Application:
▶ Setup: Strong sell energy wave (60%+) on a bullish candle
▶ Entry: After confirmation candle following the signal
▶ Stop Loss: Above recent high or 1 ATR above entry
▶ Take Profit: Previous support or 1:2 risk-reward minimum
▶ Enhancers: Signal occurring at resistance zone, overbought conditions, or trend line tests
■ Trend Continuation Strategy
• During Uptrends:
▶ Focus on buy signals that appear during pullbacks
▶ Higher probability when signals occur at key moving averages or support levels
▶ Enter on strength when price shows signs of resuming the uptrend
• During Downtrends:
▶ Focus on sell signals that appear during relief rallies
▶ Higher probability when signals occur at key moving averages or resistance levels
▶ Enter on strength when price shows signs of resuming the downtrend
■ Multiple Timeframe Approach
• Signal Confirmation Across Timeframes:
▶ Major signals on higher timeframes (4H, daily) provide strategic direction
▶ Signals on lower timeframes (15m, 1H) offer tactical entry points
▶ Highest probability setups occur when signals align across multiple timeframes
• Signal Clustering:
▶ Multiple signals in the same price area significantly increase probability
▶ Look for areas where both buy and sell signals have appeared, indicating battleground zones
▶ The most recent signal direction often wins these battles
─────────────────────────────────────
◆ Technical Foundation
■ Why Cross-Market Confirmation Matters
• Institutional Participation:
▶ CME Bitcoin futures are dominated by regulated institutional investors
▶ Crypto exchange futures include both retail and institutional players
▶ When both markets show the same smart money pattern, the signal reliability increases dramatically
• Market Inefficiency Exploitation:
▶ Large players often position across multiple venues to minimize market impact
▶ This coordinated activity creates detectable footprints when analyzed correctly
▶ Cross-market confirmation helps filter out market noise and isolate true smart money movements
■ Smart Volume Calculation Methodology
• Price-Volume Relationship Analysis:
▶ Uses candle structure to estimate buying vs. selling volume
▶ Buying volume = Total volume × (Close - Low) / (High - Low)
▶ Selling volume = Total volume × (High - Close) / (High - Low)
• Signal Triggering Logic:
▶ Buy signal: When buying volume exceeds selling volume by multiplier factor
▶ Sell signal: When selling volume exceeds buying volume by multiplier factor
▶ Both conditions must be met simultaneously on CME and exchange futures
• Advanced Pattern Recognition:
▶ Evaluates candle body-to-range ratio for signal quality
▶ Analyzes wick length and position for additional confirmation
▶ Considers recent highs/lows to detect potential turning points
─────────────────────────────────────

─────────────────────────────────────
◆ Synergy with Other Indicators
• Support/Resistance Levels:
▶ Smart money signals occurring at key support/resistance significantly increase reliability
▶ Particularly powerful when signals appear at tested price levels
• Moving Averages:
▶ Signals near key moving averages (50MA, 200MA) often indicate institutional interest
▶ Moving average crosses combined with smart money signals create high-probability setups
• RSI/Momentum Indicators:
▶ Buy signals in oversold conditions increase probability of successful reversal
▶ Sell signals in overbought conditions increase probability of successful reversal
• Volume Profile:
▶ Signals occurring at high volume nodes often indicate significant turning points
▶ Low volume nodes between high volume areas can act as acceleration zones after signal triggers
• Market Structure:
▶ Smart money signals that break key market structure levels (higher highs/lows or lower highs/lows) are particularly significant
▶ Can signal the early stages of trend changes when aligned with structure breaks
─────────────────────────────────────
◆ Conclusion
The 52SIGNAL RECIPE CME-Exchange Smart Money Detector provides traders with a powerful edge by revealing institutional positioning across both regulated futures and crypto exchange markets. By requiring synchronized signals from both venues, it cuts through market noise to identify the most reliable smart money footprints.
What sets this indicator apart is its sophisticated cross-market verification system. Rather than relying on signals from a single market, it only triggers when both CME and exchange futures display the same smart money pattern simultaneously. This approach dramatically reduces false signals and highlights truly significant institutional activity.
The intuitive energy wave visualization system makes it easy to spot signals of varying strength, while the transparent percentage rating allows for objective assessment of each opportunity. By focusing on these dual-confirmed smart money movements, traders can position themselves alongside institutional players rather than against them.
Remember that the most powerful signals typically appear at key market junctures, often before significant price movements. By incorporating this indicator into your trading approach, you gain insight into institutional positioning that can help anticipate market direction with greater confidence.
─────────────────────────────────────
※ Disclaimer: Like all trading tools, the CME-Exchange Smart Money Detector should be used as a supplementary indicator and not relied upon exclusively for trading decisions. Past patterns of institutional behavior may not guarantee future market movements. Always employ appropriate risk management strategies in your trading.

▶ 교차 시장 확인은 시장 노이즈를 필터링하고 진정한 스마트 머니 움직임을 분리하는 데 도움
■ 스마트 볼륨 계산 방법론
• 가격-볼륨 관계 분석:
▶ 캔들 구조를 사용하여 매수 대 매도 볼륨 추정
▶ 매수 볼륨 = 총 볼륨 × (종가 - 저가) / (고가 - 저가)
▶ 매도 볼륨 = 총 볼륨 × (고가 - 종가) / (고가 - 저가)
• 신호 트리거 로직:
▶ 매수 신호: 매수 볼륨이 매도 볼륨을 배율 요소만큼 초과할 때
▶ 매도 신호: 매도 볼륨이 매수 볼륨을 배율 요소만큼 초과할 때
▶ 두 조건 모두 CME와 거래소 선물에서 동시에 충족되어야 함
• 고급 패턴 인식:
▶ 신호 품질을 위한 캔들 몸통-범위 비율 평가
▶ 추가 확인을 위한 꼬리 길이 및 위치 분석
▶ 잠재적 전환점을 감지하기 위해 최근 고점/저점 고려

[AlbaTherium] OptiStruct™ Premium for Smart Money Concepts An Insight into Structure Mapping and Order Block Identification with Smart Money Concepts
Introduction:
Structure Mapping & Demands and Supplies Premium serves as a fundamental pillar in the realm of Smart Money Concepts . This indicator adeptly charts the market structure based on a refined version of SMC while identifying Order Blocks. All the concepts embedded in this method are meticulously defined, offering users the ability to chart the market structure with precision and heightened confidence. With this indicator, there is no need for excessive questioning of the accuracy of your markings; it diligently strives to perform this task effectively. There are no hidden 'magic' properties underlying this indicator, ensuring that our users can independently verify each and every feature. It is this commitment to transparency that sets us apart and makes us unique in the market.
In this discussion, we delve into the intricacies of Break of Structure, Change of Character , and SMART MONEY TRAP . We also introduce the concepts of Extreme Order Blocks, Decisional Order Blocks , and Smart Money Trap Order Blocks .
Chapter 1: Understanding Structure Mapping:
Let's begin with some definitions:
- Inside bars are candles that lie within the range of a preceding candle.
- Pullbacks occur in an uptrend when the low of a preceding candle's range (excluding inside bars ) is breached, and the price continues to rise.
- Inducements (IDM) are price levels defined as the low of the latest pullback before the most recent high. They often act as liquidity points that the market revisits before continuing its move.
Break of Structure (BoS):
In an uptrend, after surpassing an IDM , the most recent high becomes a Confirmed structure high, or a Major High . If the price then closes above this Major High, a Bullish Break of Structure (Bullish BoS) is confirmed. Similarly, the lowest point between these movements becomes a Confirmed structure low or Major Low in a downtrend.
Change of Character (ChoCh):
In an uptrend, if the price falls below a Major Low, it indicates a shift in market bias from Bullish to Bearish, or a Bearish Change of Character .
Example of a bullish ChoCh:
Chapter 2: The Significance of Order Blocks:
Order Blocks (OB) play a pivotal role in Smart Money Concepts during entry points. Understanding what they represent and how to identify them is essential. For a Bullish/Bearish Order Block to be confirmed, specific conditions, including price imbalance and breaching the previous candle's high or low, must be met. We will delve into the finer details of identifying and trading Order Blocks, with an emphasis on the fact that price often reacts from Decisional Order Blocks, Extreme Order Blocks , and Smart Money Trap Order Blocks .
An OB is the initial candle range of a pullback that creates a Fair value gap.
These are zones where proactive traders enter the market, resulting in significant price changes indicated by Fair value gaps. It is believed that when the price revisits these zones in the future, it tends to bounce back. This property makes Order Blocks excellent potential entry points.
Order Blocks are categorized as follows:
- Extreme OB : The first and lowest OB between the Major Low and Major High.
- Decisional OB : The most recent OB lower than the current IDM.
- Smart Money Traps : All OBs between Extreme and Decisional OB.
- Demand above IDM / Supply below IDM
Chapter 3: Understanding SMART MONEY TRAP (SMT):
SMART MONEY TRAP is a concept that brings clarity to the distinction between Structure and Order Blocks within Smart Money Concepts and is a unique feature of this indicator. While many Smart Money Traders base their trades on Structure and Order Blocks, it's crucial to recognize that Order Blocks serve as an additional confirmation for buy or sell decisions. Blindly trading based on Order Blocks is not advisable. Instead, traders should exercise patience and await other confirmations like inducement or Liquidity sweep before executing trades on Order Blocks. We will illustrate how this concept works in practice.
In the example above, the market made a high wick up, taking out the buy-side liquidity, then made a bearish ChoCh. We place our sell order on the order block above IDM. This presents a promising trading opportunity, with a stop loss placed above the OB and a take profit set at the low of previous structure.

MTF Smart Money ConceptsOverview
This indicator displays major elements of Smart Money Concepts and price action trading with multi-timeframes(MTF) and layered market structures with color visualization.
What is Smart Money Concepts?
Smart Money Concepts(SMC) is one of the methodologies to interpret how financial market moves and to analyze it and execute trades, focusing on liquidity and order flow of financial institutions.
Smart money means the funds invested by large financial institutions such as banks, institutional traders/investors, market makers, hedge funds etc. contrary to retail traders/investors' money.
It is important to note that there is no proof or evidence that those institutions move the market as described in Smart Money Concepts.
Personally speaking, it is one of the interpretation of the market and another angle to view the market just like other technical analysis methodologies such as Elliott Wave Principle, Gann Theory, Wyckoff Method and even traditional price action trading.
Importance of MTF Analysis
MTF analysis(a.k.a Topdown analysis) is the foundation to technically analyze charts and the most fundamental skill in trading because lower timeframes are always influenced by upper timeframes where large financial institutions operate.
How to use
This indicator is designed to help traders analyze how the market moves in terms of SMC and price action with multi-timeframes and color visualization of the market structures, which makes this indicator unique and different from other indicators.
There is two key settings that you can use based on your trading style.
1.Upper timeframe selection
You have two options to determine upper timeframe; Auto mode and Manual mode.
When Auto mode selected, upper timeframe will be determined based on chart timeframe as follows.
Chart timeframe => Upper timeframe
1M=>15M
5M/15M=>1H
30M/1H=>4H
4H=>D
D=>W
W=>M
If you select Manual mode, you can fix an upper timeframe.
2.High/low settings
This affects all other settings of the indicator and most importantly designs the market structure.
This is the key setting to determine how you view the market as price action trading is all about highs and lows and story of how highs and lows have been created with the market structure.
You can specify left bars and right bars to identify swing highs/lows and these highs/lows become the basis to design the market structure and determine how SMC elements are displayed.
Example:
Left bar&right bar: 10
You can see bigger wave(magenta line) in the market structure(stepped line).
(Magenta line is a drawn object by manual)
Left bar&right bar: 4
With this setting, you can see smaller wave in the market structure.
Since market moves like wave as there is a lot of wave theories in financial investment/trading industry such as Elliott wave, Wolf wave etc., users can define market structure with this setting depending on what degree of wave they aim to trade.
Functions:
MTF Order Block
Concept
Order block is a block of orders where buying orders and selling orders are accumulated. Order blocks are created when the institutions move the market up and down, temporality placing orders in an opposite direction to the way they want to move, in order to match their own orders with counter-orders.
Visualization by the indicator
The indicator displays both chart timeframe's order blocks and upper timeframe's order blocks(MTF).
You can also select from two options how to display order blocks;
1. Show all order blocks
2. Show strong order blocks only
Note: Strong order blocks mean order blocks created at strong highs/lows. See also strong high/low below.
Alerts can be set when prices reach strong order blocks.
MTF Fair Value Gap(FVG)/Imbalance
Concept
Fair Value Gap(FVG)(Imbalance) is a void generated among three consecutive candlesticks.
FVG(s) is created when the market moves so rapidly generating buy side or sell side order imbalances.
FVG(s) is characterized by price action that prices tend to come back to the area where FVG(s) exists, filling in the space among the candlesticks.
Visualization by the indicator
The indicator displays both chart timeframe's FVG and upper timeframe's FVG.
MTF Liquidity Grab
Concept
Liquidity grab is price action to sweep liquidity for the institutions to move the market.
This price action often happens because the size of their orders is so huge and they need a bunch of counter-orders to match their orders. This is why prices sometimes come to areas where liquidity rest and swipe them before the market goes up/down.
Liquidity visualization
Where does liquidity rest?
The answer is above highs(buy side liquidity) and below lows(sell side liquidity).
Among all highs and lows, swing highs and lows are where liquidity is accumulated the most because swing highs and lows can be created only by the institutions, therefore massive liquidity is indicated.
Visualization by the indicator
The indicator displays liquidity dots so that users can easily identify where liquidity rests and liquidity grab of both a chart timeframe and an upper timeframe.
Alerts can be set when liquidity grab happens.
MTF Strong High/Low
Concept
Strong high/low literally means strong highs and lows among all highs and lows including swing highs and lows.
There is a few different definitions of strong high/low in price action trading and the definition in this indicator is as follows.
Strong high
A high that that breaks higher low or lower low
Strong low
A low that breaks lower high or higher high
Visualization by the indicator
The indicator displays strong highs and lows of both a chart timeframe and an upper timeframe.
MTF Market Structure Visualization
Concept
Market structure is a series of price movement with highs and lows which outlines the way the market directs. It is a basis to see trend occurrence, trend reversal and sideways and analyzing the market structures in multi-timeframes is the most fundamental technical skill in trading/investment.
Visualization by the indicator
The indicator displays market structures of both a chart timeframe and an upper timeframe and provide color visualization depending on bullish and bearish market structures.
The definition of bullish and bearish market structure is as follows.
Bullish market structure
When a price breaks a Lower High or Higher High
Bearish market structure
When a price breaks a Higher Low or Lower Low
Settings
All the functions above, colors and line settings are parameterized and can be turned on/off depending on users’ needs.

概要
Smart Money Concepts(SMC)およびプライスアクショントレードにおける重要な要素をマルチタイムフレームで表示することのできるインジケーターです。
相場構造(Market structure)をマルチタイムフレームで表示し、相場構造の強弱を色で可視化することができます。
Smart Money Concepts(スマートマネーコンセプト)とは？
Smart Money Concepts(以下SMC) は金融市場がどのように動くかを解釈し、分析し、取引を執行するための相場理論の一つであり、Liquidity(リクイディティ)および機関投資家のオーダーフロー(注文の流れ)に焦点を置いていることが特徴です。
Smart Money(スマートマネー)とは、銀行や機関投資家、マーケットメーカー、ヘッジファンドといった金融機関が動かす資金を意味し、個人投資家の資金と対をなす概念です。
重要な点は、実際に上記の金融機関がSmart Money Conceptsで語られているような相場の動かし方をしているかどうかを証明する明確なエビデンスはないということです。
個人的には、エリオット波動理論やギャン理論、ワイコフ理論、伝統的なプライスアクショントレーディングの方法論と同様に、マーケットの動きを解釈するための一つの方法論であり、マーケットの動きを別の角度から見る枠組みと捉えています。
マルチタイムフレーム(MTF)分析の重要性
MTF分析はチャートをテクニカルに分析する上での基礎であり、トレードにおいて最も重要なスキルです。なぜなら下位のタイムフレームは上記のような金融機関が資金運用を行う上位のタイムフレームの影響を常に受けるためです。
使い方
このインジケーターは、SMCまたはプライスアクショントレードの観点から、トレーダーがマーケットをマルチタイムフレームで分析することを支援するために開発しています。
相場構造(Market structure/マーケットストラクチャー)を方向性に応じて色で可視化することができるため、視覚的に相場の構造を判断できることがこのインジケータのユニークな点であり、他のインジケーターと異なる点です。
ユーザーのトレードスタイルに応じて、以下の二つの設定を行うことができます。
1.上位足の決定方法
ユーザーは上位足のタイムフレームを決定するにあたり、AutoモードとManualモードを選択することができます。
Autoモードを選択した場合、上位足はチャートのタイムフレームに応じて以下のように決定されます。
チャートタイムフレーム => 上位足タイムフレーム
1M=>15M
5M/15M=>1H
30M/1H=>4H
4H=>D
D=>W
W=>M
Manualモードを選択すると上位足のタイムフレームを固定することができます。
2.High/low(高値/安値) 設定
当設定はインジケーターの他の全ての機能に影響し、また最も重要である相場構造の定義に影響します。
当設定はユーザーがマーケットをどのように見るか(=どの程度の粒度)を決定する重要な設定です。なぜならプライスアクショントレードは、高値、安値とそれらが相場構造をどのように構築してきたかの一連の流れを分析することが全てだからです。
ユーザーは相場構造を決定付けるスイングハイ·スイングローを特定するためのバーの本数を設定することができます。ここで設定した内容が、相場構造を定義し、以下で説明するSMCの要素の表示を決定することになります。
例:
Left bar&right bar(左右のバーの数): 10
この場合、ステップラインで示した相場構造の中に大きな波(マゼンタの波)を見ることができます。
(マゼンタのラインは手動で描いたオブジェクト)
Left bar&right bar: 4
この設定では、上記に比べて小さい波を描いていることが確認できます。
相場理論の中にエリオット波動理論やウォルフ波動といった数多くの波動理論があることからわかるように、相場は波として動きます。どの粒度の波を狙うかというトレーダーのスタイルに応じて、設定を変更することができます。
機能
MTFオーダーブロック
コンセプト
オーダーブロックとは買い注文と売り注文が一連となって蓄積されたオーダー(注文)のブロックのことです。
オーダーブロックは機関投資家が相場を動かす際に、本来意図する方向とは一時的に逆に動かすことで、彼ら自身の注文をマッチングさせるための反対注文を発生させることで形成されます。
インジケーターによる表示
インジケーターはチャートタイムフレームのオーダーブロックと上位足のオーダーブロックの両方を表示することができます。
また、オーダーブロックの表示オプションとして、
1.全てのオーダーブロックを表示
2.Strong(ストロング)オーダーブロックのみを表示
を選択することが可能です。
注: StrongオーダーブロックはStrong High/Lowで形成されるオーダーブロックを指します。(下記参照)
また、オーダーブロック到達でのアラート設定も可能です。
MTFフェアーバリューギャップ(FVG)/インバランス
コンセプト
フェアーバリューギャップ(FVG)/インバランスとは連続する3つのローソク足の間に形成される溝(Gap)のことです。
フェアーバリューギャップはマーケットが非常に早く動いたことにより、買いオーダーと売りオーダーの需給バランスが崩れることによって発生します。
フェアーバリューギャップには、価格がフェアーバリューギャップが発生したエリアまで戻ってくる傾向があるという特徴が存在します。
インジケーターによる表示
インジケーターはチャートタイムフレームのフェアーバリューギャップと上位足のフェアーバリューギャップの両方を表示することができます。
MTF Liquidity Grab(リクイディティ·グラブ)
コンセプト
Liquidity(リクイディティ)とはマネー、つまり注文です。
Liquidity Grab(リクイディティ·グラブ)とは、機関投資家がマーケットを動かす際にLiquidityを取得するプライスアクションのことを指します。
このプライスアクションは、機関投資家が処理する注文サイズが非常に大きいため、自身の注文を出す際に大量の反対注文を必要とすることからしばしば発生します。
これが、価格がLiquidity(注文)の集まっているエリアに接近し、それら注文をスワイプ(狩り取る)した後に上昇·下落する理由です。
Liquidityの可視化
一般的にLiquidityは高値の上(buy side liquidity)、安値の下(sell side liquidity)に存在します。
全ての高値·安値の中で、スイングハイ·ローがliquidityが最も蓄積されているエリアということができます。なぜならスイングハイ·ローは機関投資家の注文によってのみ形成されるからです。
インジケーターによる表示
ユーザーがLiquidityポイントを簡単に識別できるようにLiquidityをドット表示することが可能です。またチャートタイムフレームと上位足の両方のLiquidity Grabを表示することができます。
Liquidity Grab発生時にアラートも設定可能です。
MTF Strong High/Low(ストロングハイ·ロー)
コンセプト
Strong high/lowは文字通り、強い高値·安値のことを指します。

SMT - Smart Money Thursday Boxes
The Smart Money Trading Thursday - is a very specific trading system. You only trade it on a Thursday.
The script/indicator will color Thursdays as two boxes. If you just want one color, use same color for
both boxes. The boxes is there to indicate London/New York sessions.
SETTINGS
In the setting you find a numeric value as 1700-0400:5
The "5" indicate Thursday. You can change that if you prefer to color another specific day.
For example "4" would indicate Wednesday. And you can change the hours to fit your
sessions and trading style.
You can also use the 2 boxes on different days. If you for example would like to color up
London for Wednesday and Thursday. Then set hours to fit London session and adjust the
:5 to 4 on the 1st box and 5 on the 2nd.
HOW TO USE IT?
The Smart Money works in a way retail trading does not. Smart Money has an objective
to locate retail patterns, where there will be a lot of stop loss volume to be grabbed.
So when a retail trader see a setup like a "Double Top / Bottom". The Institutional
will see $$$ of dumb money, ready to be taken. The best moves happen on a Thursday
but if you are a skilled trader, you can see the move also occur on Wednesday or Friday.
The first thing that will happen, is that the Smart Money Breaks out of session. Meaning
they will leave the current weeks high/low range. To start collect negative contracts
of the retail volume.
When you see that happen. And you see a breakout that consist of 4 in a row 1 hour
chart candles. Then you have your first rule meet.
#1 Thursday breakout of current weeks high/low. And the move is a clean 4 hour move
as 4x H1 candles. The move can start within range. But must end clearly outside.
Visual Example:
#2 Next, we await an engulf at peak or near peak. That is where Institutional
may have problem to match any more contracts, and since they used their own
money to make this move. They must now mitigate orders, and return back to
the original retail pattern as most retail traders are now stopped out.
(Normally this is a long/clear candle out of range. they rarely go lower
then retail traders entry in the 1st push. This to not save any souls :)
#3 Price returns back to where the breakout from the retail happens.
You can now take your profit as a Smart Money Trader. Trading with less risk,
you can take profit of the return of that latest 4x H1 candle move. (Order
Block)
CONCLUSION
The best trade is when you can combine a retail pattern, followed by a
breakout which holds 4x 1 hour candles in the outbreak direction.
2nd best is when you have the 4x H1 breakout and really no clear retail
pattern. Still is the same game. Just not as clear as the one above.
Study the steps in this image and you see what to look after:
Good Luck with your trading!

Wyckoff Smart Money Pro [MTF]Wyckoff Smart Money Pro detects trading ranges, phases, and events from the Wyckoff method and confirms them with VSA (Volume Spread Analysis), divergence checks, and a composite “smart money” strength index. It generates optional buy/sell signals only when multiple conditions align (phase, VSA, CO strength, effort vs. result, time/volume filters). The dashboard, POC/Value Area, and MTF backdrop help you manage context and risk in real time.
What this indicator does
Wyckoff Smart Money Pro is a multi-timeframe Wyckoff tool that:
⦁ Finds accumulation/distribution ranges and tracks Phases A–E.
⦁ Labels Wyckoff events (PS, SC, AR, ST, Spring/Test, SOS, LPS, UTAD, SOW, LPSY, TS…) and VSA patterns (No Demand/Supply, Stopping Volume, Upthrust, etc.).
⦁ Computes a Composite Operator (CO) Strength score from price/volume behavior to approximate “smart money” bias.
⦁ Adds divergence, effort vs. result, and a volume profile (POC & 70% value area) inside the detected range.
⦁ Provides buy/sell signals only when a configurable confluence is present (events + VSA + CO + EVR + phase + filters).
⦁ Supports MTF context (with a safe HTF resolver and fallbacks) and an Info Dashboard to summarize the current state.
It is designed to make the Wyckoff workflow visual and rules-based without promising results or automating decisions.
How it works (methods & calculations)
1) Range & Phase model
⦁ A sliding lookback searches for a valid range (recent highest high/lowest low), requiring width within 2–10× ATR(14) and a minimum bar count inside the bounds.
⦁ Once a range is active, the script derives Creek/Ice/Mid/Quartiles and classifies bars into Wyckoff Phases A–E using event recency (barssince) and where price sits relative to the range.
⦁ The background color reflects the current Phase; optional MTF events (from the chosen HTF) tint the background lightly for higher-timeframe context.
2) Wyckoff & VSA event engine
⦁ Events include PS, SC, AR, ST, Spring, Test, SOS, LPS, PSY, BC, UTAD, SOW, LPSY, TS, plus minor/multiple variants and Creek/Ice jumps.
⦁ VSA patterns detect No Demand/No Supply, Stopping Volume, Buying/Selling Climax, Upthrust/Pseudo Upthrust, Bag Holding, Shake-Out, Volume Dry-Up, etc., from spread vs. average spread and volume vs. average volume with tunable thresholds.
3) Smart-money (CO) Strength
⦁ CO Strength (0–100) blends: relative volume on up/down bars, professional accumulation/distribution, no-supply/no-demand, stopping volume, Springs/UTADs and Tests, SOS/SOW, price’s position inside the range, and volume-delta vs. its MA.
⦁ Persistent accumCount / distCount counters smooth temporary noise.
4) Divergence & Effort-vs-Result
⦁ Price vs. cum volume-delta divergence highlights weakening pushes.
⦁ EVR flags “High effort / no result” and potential Bullish/Bearish reversals, or “Low effort / high result” moves that are often unsustainable.
5) Volume Profile (inside range)
⦁ A 50-bin profile accumulates volume across the detected range to derive POC, VAH/VAL (70% value area). Lines update as the active range evolves.
6) Multi-Timeframe (MTF) safety
⦁ getHTF() converts your multiplier to a valid Pine timeframe string (e.g., 60, 240, 2D, 1W), and the script falls back to current timeframe values if an HTF request returns na.
⦁ If you enter a Custom HTF, it must be strictly higher than the chart’s timeframe (validated at runtime).
7) Signals & risk model
⦁ Signals are not tied to any single pattern. A buy may require Spring/Test/Shake-out/Creek Jump or SOS plus confirmation (VSA, CO>60, Phase C/D, divergence/EVR context).
⦁ Sell is symmetrical (UTAD/Failed Spring/SOW/Ice Jump + VSA + CO<40 + Phase C/D).
⦁ Minimum confidence is configurable; SL/TP and R:R lines are drawn from range edges or recent bar extremes.
⦁ Filters: trading hours, weekend avoidance, and a minimum volume threshold (relative to average) are available to suppress low-quality contexts.
⦁ Alerts include all major events, divergences, structure/phase changes, and the gated Buy/Sell signals (with a cooldown to reduce alert spam).
Inputs (key ones you’ll actually use)
⦁ Display Settings: toggle ranges, phases, events, VSA, signals, dashboard.
⦁ MTF: Enable HTF, set Multiplier or a Custom HTF (must be higher than current).
⦁ Range Detection: period / min bars / pivot strength.
⦁ VSA: volume sensitivity & climax multiplier.
⦁ Signal Settings: minimum confidence, risk/reward labels.
⦁ Advanced Filters: trading hours, weekend avoidance, and Min Volume Filter (× avg).
⦁ Colors: phase backgrounds, structure colors, and line styling.
How to use (practical flow)
1. Choose a symbol & timeframe you normally analyze (e.g., 5–60m for entries, 4H/D for context).
2. If using MTF, pick a multiplier (e.g., 5×) or a Custom HTF (e.g., 240/4H).
3. Wait for a range to form; watch Phase and CO Strength on the Dashboard.
4. When events (e.g., Spring/Test in Phase C or UTAD in distribution) appear with favorable VSA, CO, EVR, and volume/time filters, consider the signal and review R:R lines.
5. Use POC/VA and Creek/Ice/Mid as structure references; manage risk around the range edge that generated the setup.

Notes, limits & best practices
⦁ This is not a buy/sell system; it’s a context & confirmation tool. Combine with your plan, risk limits, and execution criteria.
⦁ Long, illiquid, or news-driven bars can distort volume/spread logic; filters help but cannot eliminate this.
⦁ For MTF, if an exchange doesn’t support a specific HTF, the script falls back safely to current TF values to avoid na-propagation.
⦁ Dashboard rows/size/position are user-configurable to keep charts uncluttered.
Changelog (what’s new in this version)
⦁ MTF safety & validation (Custom HTF must be above current; graceful fallbacks for request.security() na results).
⦁ Performance caching for close position & up/down bar flags; drawing cleanup to stay under label/line limits.
⦁ Volume Profile upgraded to 50 bins; VA algorithm adjusted accordingly.
⦁ Signal gating with time/day/volume filters and alert cooldown to reduce noise.
⦁ Bug guards for parameter conflicts (e.g., rangeMinBars cannot exceed rangePeriod).

* **Volume-Weighted Confirmation**
Confirms level-breaks and bounces with volume delta analysis, ensuring you’re following genuine institutional commitment rather than retail noise.
* **Adaptive Timeframes**
From 5-minute scalps to daily swing setups, GIFI adjusts its sensitivity so you capture the most meaningful levels on any timeframe.
**Why It Works:**
Foreign institutions often leave telltale footprints when they build or unwind positions at scale. GIFI decodes those footprints into actionable levels—revealing where the “smart money” is most willing to buy or sell. When price approaches one of these institutional zones, you gain:
* **Higher Probability Entries**
Enter trades alongside large-ticket players rather than against them.
* **Optimized Risk Management**
Place stops just beyond genuine institutional commitment zones, reducing the odds of false breakouts.
* **Clearer Exit Strategies**
Target profit levels where institutions are likely to take profits or enter fresh positions.
Whether you’re scalping Nifty futures, swing-trading mid-cap stocks, riding crypto trends, or trading EUR/USD, the Global Institutional Flow Indicator equips you with the insights you need to trade confidently—knowing you’re aligning with the forces that really move the markets.
SMT Divergence ICT 02 [TradingFinder] Smart Money Technique SMC🔵 Introduction
SMT Divergence (Smart Money Technique Divergence) is a price action-based trading concept that detects discrepancies in market behavior between two assets that are generally expected to move in the same direction. Rooted in ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology, this approach helps traders recognize subtle signs of market manipulation or imbalance, often ahead of traditional indicators.
The core idea behind SMT divergence is simple: when two correlated instruments—such as currency pairs, indices, or assets from the same sector—start forming different swing points (highs or lows), this can reveal a lack of confirmation in the trend. Such divergence is often a precursor to a price reversal or pause in momentum.
This technique works effectively across various markets including Forex, stocks, and cryptocurrencies. It’s particularly valuable when used alongside concepts like liquidity sweeps, market structure breaks (MSBs), or order block identification.
In advanced use cases, Sequential SMT helps uncover patterns of alternating divergences across sessions, often signaling engineered liquidity traps before price reacts.
When combined with the Quarterly Theory—which segments market behavior into Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal phases—traders gain insight not only into where divergence happens, but when it's most likely to be significant within the market cycle.
Bullish SMT :
Bullish SMT Divergence occurs when one asset prints a higher low while the correlated asset forms a lower low. This asymmetry often suggests that the downside move is losing strength, hinting at a potential bullish shift.
Bearish SMT :
Bearish SMT Divergence is formed when one asset creates a higher high, while the second asset fails to confirm by printing a lower high. This typically signals weakening bullish pressure and the possibility of a reversal to the downside.
🔵 How to Use
The SMT Divergence indicator is designed to detect imbalances between two positively correlated assets—such as major currency pairs, indices, or commodities. These divergences often indicate early signs of market inefficiency or smart money manipulation and can help traders anticipate trend shifts with higher precision.
Unlike traditional divergence indicators or earlier versions of this script, this upgraded version does not rely solely on consecutive pivot comparisons. Instead, it dynamically scans all available pivots within the chart to identify divergences at any structural level—major or minor—across the price action. This broader detection method increases the reliability and frequency of meaningful SMT signals.
Moreover, when integrated with Sequential SMT logic, the indicator is capable of identifying multiple divergence sequences across sessions. These sequences often signal engineered liquidity traps and can be mapped within the Quarterly Theory framework, allowing traders to pinpoint not just the presence of divergence but also the phase of the market cycle it appears in (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, or Continuation).
🟣 Bullish SMT Divergence
This signal occurs when the primary asset forms a higher low, while the correlated asset forms a lower low. This pattern implies weakening bearish momentum and a potential shift to the upside.
If the correlated asset breaks its previous low but the primary asset does not, this divergence suggests absorption of selling pressure and possible accumulation by smart money—making it a strong bullish signal, especially when aligned with a favorable market phase (e.g., the end of a manipulation phase in Q2).
🟣 Bearish SMT Divergence
This signal occurs when the primary asset creates a higher high, while the correlated asset forms a lower high. This mismatch indicates fading bullish momentum and a potential reversal to the downside.
If the correlated asset fails to confirm a breakout made by the main asset, the divergence may point to distribution or exhaustion. When seen within Q3 or Q4 phases of the Quarterly Theory, this pattern often precedes sharp declines or fake-outs engineered by smart money
