SSMT [TakingProphets]

SSMT (Sequential SMT) — Multi-Cycle Intermarket Divergence with Quarterly Theory Timing

**OVERVIEW**

SSMT detects intermarket divergences (SMT) between your chart’s instrument and a correlated symbol (default: `CME_MINI:ES1!`). It compares current vs. previous highs/lows inside time-based “quarters” and plots lines + labels when the instruments disagree. The same logic runs across five cycles:

- Micro (granular intraday windows)
- 90-Minute (Asia, London, NY AM, NY PM)
- Daily (Q1…Q4)
- Weekly (calendar week)
- Monthly (calendar month)

Lines and labels persist beyond the period that created them so you can use historical SMTs for confluence.

**HOW IT WORKS**

- Time Partitioning (America/New_York)
- Daily quarters
- Q1 = 18:00–00:00
- Q2 = 00:00–06:00
- Q3 = 06:00–12:00
- Q4 = 12:00–18:00
- 90-Minute quarters: four 90m blocks inside each session
- Micro quarters: finer 20–22 minute blocks within each session
- Weekly/Monthly: tracked by calendar (Mon–Fri and 1st–4th full weeks)
- CME daily pause guard: 17:00–18:00 ET (prevents false transitions)

- High/Low State Tracking (per cycle)
- Tracks previous and current highs/lows
- Mirrors tracking for the correlated symbol using `request.security()`

- Divergence Condition (SMT)
- High-side: one instrument makes a higher high while the other does not → bearish divergence
- Low-side: one instrument makes a lower low while the other does not → bullish divergence
- Plots anchored lines + labels (e.g., `SSMT [90m] w/ES`)

- Persistence & Styling
- SMT drawings remain on chart after period ends
- Style inputs apply to historical drawings

- Weekly & Monthly Specifics
- Weekly IDs: `(year * 100 + weekofyear)`
- Monthly IDs: `(year * 12 + month)`
- Handles partial weeks & month transitions

- Alerts
- Two per cycle (High-side & Low-side)
- Fire on the bar where divergence first forms

**WHY IT’S ORIGINAL (INVITE-ONLY JUSTIFICATION)**

- Multi-cycle SMT engine (Micro, 90m, Daily, Weekly, Monthly)
- Quarter-aware persistence for SMT drawings
- CME pause handling and stable calendar IDs
- ICT-aligned timing for precise liquidity windows
- Not a wrapper of standard indicators; built on extremum sequencing and cross-instrument comparison
-There is nothing else like this on tradingview

---

**HOW TO USE**

- Add indicator to chart (e.g., NQ, ES,)
- Select a correlated symbol (default: `CME_MINI:ES1!`)
- Enable desired cycles
- Optional: enable quarter/session boxes for context
- Interpret SMTs:
- High-side (bearish): your chart makes HH while correlated does not
- Low-side (bullish): your chart makes LL while correlated does not
- Set alerts for SMT divergences
- Combine with your own HTF narrative

**INPUTS AND CUSTOMIZATION**

- Correlated Symbol
- Toggle cycles (Micro, 90m, Daily, Weekly, Monthly)
- Line/label styling (color, width, size, text)
- Session/quarter box toggles
- Alerts for divergence events

---

**REPAINTING & LIMITATIONS**

- No look-ahead (`request.security()` with `lookahead_off`)
- Intra-bar updates can form/resolve SMTs before close
- New York session timing assumed; thin markets may reduce signals
- Divergence quality depends on chosen benchmark

**ATTRIBUTION & NOTES**

- Inspired by ICT SMT + Quarterly Theory
- Closed-source & invite-only due to multi-cycle architecture, persistence engine, and calendar handling
- For educational use only. Not financial advice.

**RELEASE NOTES (v1.7)**

- Added Weekly & Monthly SMT cycles
- Added High/Low alerts per cycle
- Labels now include cycle ID (`[Micro]`, `[90m]`, `[Daily]`, `[Weekly]`, `[Monthly]`)
- Style changes propagate to historical drawings
- Fixed quarter transition & CME pause edge cases
