RunRox - Advanced SMCIntroducing Our Advanced SMC Indicator: Elevate Your Smart Money Concept Trading
We are excited to present our innovative indicator designed specifically for the Smart Money Concept (SMC) strategy. Our approach goes beyond the traditional SMC strategy, bringing significant enhancements to help you achieve better trading results.
We employ a more sophisticated SMC structure incorporating IDM, precise retracements, extreme and local order blocks. This allows for a deeper understanding of market trends and insights into the manipulations of major market players.
What is IDM?
IDM, or Institutional Distribution Model, is a refined concept within SMC that focuses on understanding how institutional players distribute their positions within the market. By analyzing IDM, traders can better predict market movements and potential points of reversal, giving them a significant edge.
What is a Precise Retracement?
A precise retracement, according to our methodology, involves a proper candlestick pattern. If candles do not exceed the highs and lows of the previous candle, they are considered internal and are not counted in the market structure. A correct retracement occurs when candles break beyond the boundaries of the preceding candle
4 Types of Order Blocks
Our concept now includes four types of order blocks: CHoCH, IDM, Local, and BOS order blocks. Below, we will discuss the differences:
CHoCH OB - These are order blocks located closest to the Change of Character (CHoCH).
IDM OB - These order blocks are positioned next after the Institutional Distribution Model (IDM).
Local OB - These blocks are either within the IDM range or in areas that do not fit any specific criteria. We refer to these as local order blocks.
BOS OB - These blocks are located closest to the Break of Structure (BOS) line.
Understanding the distinctions between these order blocks and the market context is key to effectively utilizing them for successful trading.
By incorporating these advanced features, our SMC indicator provides a powerful tool for traders looking to enhance their trading strategies and achieve more consistent results.
Here are the main principles and differences in our strategy. We will discuss all the features and capabilities of our indicator in more detail below.
🟠 Example of Our Structure
Now we will demonstrate several examples of our structure to give you a better understanding of how our indicator works
As you can see in the screenshot above, we have three main components of our structure
CHoCH (Change of Character): Price breaks a higher low (in an uptrend) or lower low (in a downtrend) directly after sweeping the recent pivot high or low.
BOS (Break of Structure): Price breaks a higher high (in an uptrend) or a lower low (in a downtrend).
IDM (Institutional Distribution Model): This represents liquidity that the market seeks to capture. The market moves to take out liquidity pockets before reversing in the intended direction.
This example demonstrates our entire structure, how it is built, and the core principles embedded within it. We have also highlighted the points used to form our structure. It's important to note that in the structure with IDM, the CHoCH is dynamic and moves closer to the IDM each time we break the BOS. This makes our structure more dynamic and sets us apart from the classic Smart Money strategy.
Additionally, I would like to show an example of how to work with order blocks in the Smart Money concept with IDM.
As you can see, some order blocks are considered traps for traders in this concept and are a constant problem in the classic structure.
The real market structure is much more complex than beginner traders perceive in the Smart Money concept. If a structural low is broken, the price can still continue its upward movement, updating the structural high because the nearest valid retracement update is merely a liquidity grab, which we refer to as IDM.
Therefore, it is common to observe in a downtrend that the price may break a high, leading Smart Money traders to believe that the price has reversed and the structure has changed (CHoCH), while in reality, the price continues its downward movement.
Inducement in trading is related to the collection of liquidity. Essentially, it is the liquidity created to make retail traders commit errors. IDM is often associated with the crowd's money, waiting for positions to be closed, such as stop-losses, limit orders, stop orders, and so on.
Now that I have explained the basics of our concept, let's move on to the functions of our indicator and trading examples.

Let me describe some of the indicator's features
You can set the candles to be colored according to the trend. In some situations, this is very convenient. For example, when the structure becomes quite large, it helps to easily see the current trend without having to refer back to the beginning of the structure.
You can select any date and time as the starting point for the analysis. This unique feature allows you to test any of your market hypotheses at any given moment. I believe this will be beneficial for every trader using the Smart Money Concept.
Sometimes larger structures emerge, and in such cases, it will be convenient to trade based on the internal structure. All dotted lines represent the internal structure, which differs from the external one. This feature is particularly helpful when trading in volatile markets.
In the image, you can see all the types of order blocks we identify:
CHoCH OB - Order blocks located closest to the Change of Character (CHoCH).
IDM OB - Order blocks that follow the Institutional Distribution Model (IDM).
Local OB - These blocks are either within the IDM range or in areas that do not fit any specific criteria. We refer to these as local order blocks.
BOS OB - Order blocks located closest to the Break of Structure (BOS) line.
Additionally, you may encounter mixed order blocks on the chart. In situations where IDM and CHoCH are close to each other, you will see IDM + CHoCH blocks.
Outside the main structure, we mark previous blocks with the label Old , such as Old CHoCH OB and other variations.
We also annotate the volume in all order blocks, showing the traded volume within the candle range near the formation of the order block. This can help you assess the strength of the order block on the chart.
It's important to note that an order block does not necessarily have to be at the peak of a price retracement. For a valid order block to form, several criteria must be met simultaneously. One criterion, for example, is the presence of an FVG along with the order block, among other parameters. Therefore, our order blocks may not always be at the highest points on the chart, but prices often react to our order blocks before reaching the previous high. This is a crucial point to understand.
🟠 Usage Examples
As seen in the example, we broke the structure (CHoCH), transitioning into a downtrend. Now, our points of interest are in the upper blocks. As you remember, IDM acts as a trap for traders, so we focus on the order blocks beyond the IDM. In our case, these are the IDM OB and CHoCH OB. These two order blocks will be our points of interest, depending on the reaction to each of them
As you can see, we broke through the IDM OB rapidly without any significant reaction and reached our second point of interest. This becomes our entry point as we got a reaction from this block. In this scenario, our target will be to break the BOS structure and confirm the downtrend.
Let me provide another example of using the indicator for trend trading.
In this case, we observe a CHoCH break and a trend shift to bullish. Following this, we see an upward movement until the formation of our IDM and a liquidity grab from the high. After this, we can look for our point of interest at the lower boundary.
Additionally, our zone of interest can be an order block from a higher timeframe. In this example, it is a 4-hour order block. Remember, we are currently on the 1-hour timeframe and using the indicator to display order blocks from the higher timeframe.
After descending into our zone of interest, we could consider buying in this zone. Our target could either be breaking the BOS as confirmation of the bullish structure or a reaction to the order block from a higher timeframe.
We've provided two examples of using the indicator, but in reality, there are countless variations, and each trader will find a way to incorporate the indicator into their strategy. While our indicator can be a standalone tool for forming a trading strategy, it offers immense flexibility and adaptability to suit individual trading styles.

Runrox
Turbo Oscillator [RunRox]Introducing Turbo Oscillator by RunRox, our new indicator that combines a multitude of useful and unique features, which we will detail in this post.
List of Advanced Technologies:
Real-Time Divergences: Detects discrepancies between price movements and oscillator indicators to forecast potential price reversals.
Real-Time Hidden Divergences: We identify hidden divergences in real-time. These are not the standard type of divergences; they are opposite to regular divergences, providing unique insights into potential market movements.
Overbought and Oversold Zones: Identifies areas where the market is potentially overextended, suggesting possible entry and exit points.
Signal Line: Indicates the market direction, helping traders to quickly understand current trends.
Money Flow Histogram: Shows the flow of money into and out of the market, providing insights into buying and selling pressure.
Predicted Reversal Zones: Pinpoints areas where the market might experience reversals, aiding in strategic planning and risk management. These zones also serve as potential areas for taking profits, enhancing their utility for exit strategy planning.
Customizable Alerts: You can flexibly set up alerts for any events detected by our indicator, ensuring you stay informed about critical market movements.
To begin with, I would like to describe the difference between classic divergences and hidden divergences.
As you can see, these are opposite situations. Our oscillator identifies both types of divergences and displays them in real-time.
Divergences can serve as points where the price might reverse in the opposite direction, making both classic and hidden divergences powerful tools for spotting reversal points. I'll show a few examples of how divergences are used in our oscillator.
Classic Divergences - which we identify in real-time. As you can see, the price often reacts strongly to the formation of these divergences, frequently changing its direction.
Hidden Divergences - we also observe frequent movement in the opposite direction on the chart. The advantage of our indicator is that we show divergences in real-time without delays, allowing you to react immediately to trend changes.
Overbought and Oversold Zones - These zones allow you to see trend changes when the price is clearly overbought or oversold. When the color changes from a contrasting shade to a neutral one, you can observe the trend shift. The lines work by combining the positivity/negativity of the histogram, the positivity/negativity of the signal line, and the direction of the signal line (red/green). This sophisticated interaction provides precise insights into market conditions, making it an invaluable tool for traders.
Signal Line - This provides insights into trend changes and price reversals. The points on the line better indicate the beginning of a trend shift. These points can vary in size, offering a clearer understanding of the strength of the emerging trend. This feature works in combination with RSI, Stochastic, and MFI. RSI and MFI are top-tier indicators, while Stochastic adds responsiveness and sensitivity to trend changes, ensuring you capture every market movement accurately and promptly.
Money Flow Histogram - As shown in the example, our histogram displays the divergence between money flow and the actual price. You can see that while the price is rising, the money flow is decreasing, indicating insufficient demand for the asset and an imminent trend change. This feature uses MFI with an extended period, providing a more comprehensive and accurate analysis of market conditions. The extended period enhances the reliability of the Money Flow Index, making it an essential tool for identifying subtle shifts in market dynamics.
Predicted Reversal Zones - We automatically identify potential price reversal zones and display them above our overbought and oversold zones. In cases of strong overbought or oversold conditions, we detect potential price pullbacks and mark the beginning of a trend change. This helps you better identify trend shifts. We recommend considering these zones as potential take profit points for your trades.
Customizable Alerts - Our flexible alert system allows you to receive notifications only for the events you are interested in. These can include:
1. Classic Divergences
2. Hidden Divergences
3. Overbought or Oversold conditions on the status line
4. Strong Overbought or Oversold conditions on the status line
5. Signals from the signal line
6. Reversal zones in any direction
Our oscillator is a unique indicator that provides a comprehensive understanding of price movements. It can be used as a standalone tool for analyzing price action.
Here are a few examples of using our Oscillator in practice:
In the example above, you can see three conditions that have formed for a potential trade:
1. Clear overbought condition with a formed reversal point.
2. Decreasing Money Flow Index diverging from the rising price.
3. Formed classic divergence.
The entry point could be the formed divergence, while the exit point could be the overbought condition at the bottom of the oscillator along with the reversal points.
Here's another example of using hidden divergence, where you can see three conditions for a potential trade:
1. Overbought zone
2. Formed hidden divergence
3. Start of bearish movement indicated by the signal line
You can enter the trade either when the hidden divergence forms or wait for confirmation of the trend change by the signal line and enter the trade when the corresponding signal forms on the signal line. The exit point could be the opposite reversal point or the formation of a new hidden divergence.
We have demonstrated a few examples of how you can use our indicator, but we are confident that you will find many more applications in your own strategies.
