Advance Smc Ict V4

The Advance SMC ICT Indicator is designed to assist traders in mapping market structure and identifying key price zones based on Smart Money Concepts (SMC) such as dz idm , dz ext , hist idm , hist dz ext & tracks major and minor order flow, and marks potential areas of interest, such as the Golden Zone. The indicator aims to simplify complex chart analysis, providing a structured approach to observing market movements across different timeframes.

✦Understanding the Concept of Order Blocks
DZ IDM

Dz idm is the zone just below inducement . it is also know as decisional order block .
This decisional order block plays a crucial role in identifying potential trade entries and is especially effective at highlighting key reversal zones.
This order block contains inducement liquidity above it, which enhances its significance compared to other order blocks.

This diagram illustrates the IDM Order Block (OB-IDM), which is the first order block that appears just below the current IDM level.

SETTING
1. Customizable IDM OB BG Color – Demand
Define the fill color for demand-side IDM OBs to highlight buy zones clearly.

2. Customizable IDM OB BG Color – Supply
Define the fill color for supply-side IDM OBs to mark sell zones distinctly.

3. Customizable IDM OB Text Color – Demand
Choose the label color for “Demand” text so it remains legible over the demand zone.

4. *Customizable IDM OB Text Color – Supply
Choose the label color for “Supply” text so it stands out over the supply zone.





DZ EXT
Extreme Order Block (OB-EXT):
The OB-EXT refers to the extreme order block identified between a Major Low and a Major High. Positioned at the edge of a swing range, this zone often reflects the initial point of strong price movement and can serve as a key area where institutional activity may have occurred.

Usage:
The OB-EXT is used to highlight potential high-probability reversal zones. Its location at structural extremes makes it useful for identifying trade entries during deep pullbacks or at the beginning of trend shifts. Traders often monitor this level for reaction when price revisits it, as it can signal renewed interest and possible directional continuation.

✦HIST IDM OB AND HIST EXT OB
This indicator automatically identifies and highlights key swing zones to enhance market structure analysis.This features help traders to focus on current swing ,

It dynamically marks the current active swing zones as:

DZ IDM: The most recent Inverse Demand Momentum zone, based on current price structure.
DZ EXT: The latest extreme zone between a major swing low and high.

It also tracks unmitigated historical zones as:

Hist DZ IDM: Previous IDM zones that have not yet been mitigated.
Hist DZ EXT: Past extreme zones that remain untested.

✦Minor Order flow
This tool is designed to help traders visualize both Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Minor Order Flow in a structured and effective way. In a bullish market, a Minor Order Flow zone is defined as the last unmitigated selling move before price continues upward after a short pullback. In a bearish market, it marks the last unmitigated buying move before price resumes its downward trend.

The indicator tracks these zones in real-time,

dynamically labeling unmitigated zones in pink for visibility. Once price revisits and mitigates a zone, its color changes to a bluish tone, clearly showing which areas are active versus completed. This visual shift allows traders to focus on relevant swing levels, filtering out old or already-reacted zones.

Minor Order Flow Settings
-Control how Minor Order Flow levels appear on your chart:
-Toggle ON/OFF to enable or disable Minor Order Flow for a cleaner chart when needed.
-Max Count limits the number of Minor Order Flow levels shown (default: 10).
-Separate Bullish and Bearish Colors for easy identification of market direction.
-Custom Colors let you choose distinct visual styles for bullish and bearish flows.


✦Major Order flow

Major Order Flow
The Major Order Flow highlights the last unmitigated selling move in a bullish market and the last unmitigated buying move in a bearish market. These levels represent key institutional order blocks where price is likely to react.

Unmitigated Zones are displayed in blue on the chart, indicating potential areas of interest where price may return.

Once the zone is mitigated (touched by price), the color changes to greyish blue, signaling the zone has been tested.

Chart Illustration


MAJOR ORDER FLOW VS MINOR ORDER FLOW
Major Order Flow identifies the last unmitigated selling move in a bullish market (or buying move in a bearish market). These zones are shown in blue and change to greyish blue once mitigated. Minor Order Flow tracks the last unmitigated move within a larger structure, helping refine entries.

Breaker Block Indicator Overview
This indicator automatically identifies and confirms two special order block levels (breaker blocks) to highlight key supply and demand zones. It pre-marks these zones and then confirms them when price breaks through with a single candle. By focusing solely on these validated zones, the indicator helps traders concentrate on only the most significant supply and demand zones.

OB IDM Breaker Block
An OB IDM Breaker Block is an order block located just below an Inducement (IDM) level, which is a liquidity trap designed to lure traders. The indicator flags this block in advance. When price breaks the block with a single candle, it becomes a confirmed breaker block. This break indicates the inducement has failed and highlights a strong supply or demand zone.
OB EXT Breaker Block
An OB EXT Breaker Block is the extreme order block that lies between a Break of Structure (BOS) and a Change of Character (CHoCH). A BOS occurs when price clears a prior swing high or low, and a CHoCH is an early sign of reversal. The OB EXT is the first (outermost) order block in that swing, and it is marked by the indicator ahead of time. When price breaks this block with a single candle, it becomes a confirmed breaker block, signaling a major shift and highlighting a key supply or demand zone.

Breaker Block identifies a former order block that was invalidated by a break of structure and later retested. These levels often act as support or resistance zones, reflecting a potential shift in market sentiment. Traders may use Breaker Blocks to spot areas where price could react, helping with trade entries or exits.

✦Golden zone

The Golden Zone is the critical retracement band between the 61.8% and 78.6% Fibonacci levels of a significant market swing. This indicator automatically recognizes when price breaks a prior swing (Break of Structure, or BOS) and then shifts momentum (Change of Character, or CHoCH). As soon as these two events occur, it anchors a Fibonacci retracement between the BOS high/low and the CHoCH point, shading the area between the 0.618 and 0.786 levels (default: yellow fill).

Although TradingView’s built-in Fibonacci tool is free, it requires you to click two swing points every time—leaving you to guess whether those swings truly represent a valid BOS or CHoCH. In contrast, this indicator’s built-in logic ensures that the 61.8%–78.6% band is always drawn on the most relevant portion of price action without any extra effort. Whenever price completes a new BOS → CHoCH sequence, the Golden Zone instantly redraws, so you never have delayed or outdated retracements.

All aspects of the Golden Zone are fully customizable. You can replace the default 0.618/0.786 boundaries with any retracement values—such as 0.65/0.85 or 0.50/0.75—by entering your preferred ratios in the settings. Once set, those custom levels apply to every future swing, eliminating manual redraws. Likewise, the fill color, opacity, and boundary-line colors can be changed to match your chart’s theme. Select your color choices once, and each new Golden Zone appears consistently across multiple charts and timeframes.

By combining automatic structure alignment with one-click strategy adaptation (custom Fibonacci levels) and flexible styling (color, opacity, line thickness), this indicator saves you countless clicks and removes human error from swing selection. It provides a reliable, always-on highlight of where institutional orders commonly accumulate or distribute, making it easier to spot high-probability pullback entries or reversal areas.

This image shows our indicator automatically detecting major SMC swings and shading the Fibonacci 0.618–0.786 “Golden Zone” between each Break of Structure (BOS) and its subsequent Change of Character (CHoCH). By instantly plotting this band, you trade at a discounted price within the swing without manually identifying or drawing Fib lines. All retracement levels (e.g., 0.65/0.85, 0.50/0.75) and zone colors (fill, opacity, and boundary lines) are fully customizable—set your preferred ratios and styling once, and the indicator applies them on every new swing. This automation removes guesswork, saves clicks, and ensures you always see the most relevant pullback area in real time.


Minor Pullback
A minor pullback appears as a shallow retracement within an ongoing trend, without breaking the larger market structure. It represents a brief pause before price resumes its primary direction.

Traders can view minor pullbacks as opportunities to enter at slightly improved prices while the trend remains intact.

Observing how price recovers from a minor pullback helps confirm whether momentum continues in the same direction.

These pullbacks allow users to assess existing positions, consider small adjustments, and check nearby support or resistance levels.

Settings: Enabling “Show Internal Structure” highlights all minor pullbacks on the chart.

Example:

Major Pullback
A major pullback occurs when price retraces more deeply, often testing significant swing points or support/resistance zones. It can temporarily approach or break a key structure level before resuming the trend.

Traders might view a major pullback as a deeper buying opportunity in an uptrend or a validation of support.

Major pullbacks sometimes act as liquidity pools where stop-hunters target orders before a reversal.

The indicator flags major pullbacks distinctly, helping users recognize when caution is advised and when to adjust risk management.

Settings: Enabling “Mark High/Low” automatically labels major swing highs and lows.

Example:

SMC Market Structure
Smart Money Concepts focus on how institutions move price. This indicator highlights core structure components:

Break of Structure (BOS)

Indicates trend continuation when price breaks a previous swing high in an uptrend or swing low in a downtrend.

The indicator marks BOS events so users can verify that the prevailing direction remains intact.
Change of Character (CHOCH)

Signals a possible trend shift when price fails to make a new high in an uptrend and instead breaks the previous low, or vice versa.
CHOCH events are labeled to warn that momentum may be shifting.

Inducement (Trap Zones)

Marks areas where price briefly fakes a breakout to capture liquidity (stop-hunts) before reversing.

Identifying inducement moves helps avoid entries during false breakouts and encourages waiting for clearer confirmation.

The indicator labels induced swings, assisting in recognizing when a breakout may be a trap rather than a sustained move.

Example:

Order Blocks & Point of Interest (POI)
Order blocks represent price areas where institutional buying or selling created a significant move. This indicator distinguishes several types:

Point of Interest (POI)

A collective name for zones where price reactions often occur: Order Block, Breaker Block, and Mitigation Block.

Demand Zone (Bullish Order Block)

A price region where buy orders have overwhelmed sell orders, often forming a base before an upward move.
Traders may consider these zones when seeking long entries.

Supply Zone (Bearish Order Block)
Where sell orders exceed buy orders, frequently causing a downward reversal.
Traders might watch these zones for short entries or to set profit targets.
Breaker Block & Mitigation Block

Breaker Block appears after price breaks through a prior order block and then returns to test it from the opposite side, acting as flipped support or resistance.
Mitigation Block represents areas where institutions address unfilled orders created by previous moves, helping identify unbalanced liquidity.

Single Candle Order Block (SCOB)

A specific order block defined by one candlestick that initiates a notable price imbalance.
SCOBs often signal precise institutional interest and are flagged to show potential reversal or continuation levels.

Settings:

Enabling “Show POI” displays all Order Blocks, Breaker Blocks, and Mitigation Blocks.
Enabling “Institutional Order Block” toggles Demand/Supply Zones.


CONCLUSION
The Advance SMC ICT Indicator stands out by translating Smart Money Concepts into clear, actionable visuals—mapping inducement zones alongside four specialized order block types, including IDM and Extreme Order Blocks, to highlight where institutional activity is most likely concentrated. By combining precise structure analysis (BOS, CHOCH, inducements) with liquidity and fair value gap identification, it gives traders a nuanced view of where supply and demand pressures intersect. In practice, this means users can more easily spot where stop-runs may occur, recognize high-probability entry areas, and avoid common traps created by large-scale order flows.

While the Advance SMC ICT Indicator provides valuable insights into how professional participants interact with price, it is not a standalone trading system. Traders should always confirm its signals with their own analysis, apply sound risk management techniques, and consider broader market context before executing any trade.
