Smart Moving AveragesSmart Moving Averages analyzes the dynamic interplay between price action and multiple moving averages to identify high-probability support and resistance zones.
The script's distinguishing features include:
Bounce detection that filters out noise by requiring specific penetration thresholds (0.1-1.5%), helping traders identify genuine support tests versus false signals
Real-time MA clustering analysis that reveals zones where multiple moving averages converge, indicating potentially stronger support/resistance levels
Statistical tracking of bounce success rates for each MA, allowing traders to identify which moving averages are most reliable for the current market conditions
Power bounce detection that combines EMA spread analysis with trend confirmation, highlighting especially strong bullish setups
Visual stack status system that instantly communicates market health through an intuitive color-coded display showing how many MAs are below price
The script helps traders make more informed decisions by quantifying the historical reliability of different moving averages while providing real-time analysis of MA interactions with price. This systematic approach moves beyond simple MA crossovers to identify higher probability trading opportunities.

Smart Bullish Pennant PatternDescription:
This script is designed to identify and visualize the Bullish Pennant pattern, a popular continuation pattern used by traders. The script follows a structured approach to identify the underlying bullish trend, the consolidation phase, and finally, the breakout from the pennant, which could signify a potential continuation of the bullish trend.
Here's how the script operates:
Bullish Trend Identification:
The script first identifies a bullish trend based on a user-defined length and a specified Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
A bullish trend is considered to be in place if the closing price is above the trend EMA, and the EMA is rising over the specified length of bars.
Consolidation Phase Detection:
During the bullish trend, the script looks for a consolidation phase, which is identified by comparing the range of the recent bars against the range of the bullish trend.
The consolidation phase is characterized by a narrowing price range, forming the pennant.
Breakout Confirmation:
A breakout from the consolidation is considered confirmed if the closing price breaks above the consolidation high, accompanied by an increase in volume.
The script allows for a one-bar delay in confirmation to avoid false breakout signals.
Price Target Calculation:
Upon a confirmed breakout, the script calculates the price target based on the height of the preceding bullish trend, added to the breakout point.
Visual Aids:
The script plots the consolidation range during the consolidation phase.
A breakout is visually indicated with a triangle above the breakout bar.
The price target is displayed on the chart with a step line.
Alerts:
An alert is triggered upon a confirmed breakout, notifying the trader of the potential bullish continuation.
Labels:
Labels are plotted to indicate the start of the bullish trend and the breakout point.
By employing this script, traders can automate the process of identifying the Bullish Pennant pattern, aiding in timely decision making for potential trade entries and exits.
This script is protected, ensuring its proprietary nature while sharing its utility with the TradingView community.
smart candlesSmart Candles is an indicator which uses several Volume / Price / Trend based Indicators to colour the possible local top & bottom zones on the chart .
used indicators are : DPO / RSI / CMO / Helers DMI / Flower Indicator / Wave Trend
the more red the candle becomes , the more the market is considered as in a possible top
and the more green the candle becomes , the more the market is considered as a possible bottom
this script is an upgrade of this :
Smart On Balance Volume MTFSmart On Balance Volume
And constructed this indicator to have a variation of the conventional volume, the on balance volume is an indicator that is not given much value when I think that it is a formidable underlying basis of what is happening more when some etf cannot be measured with the PVI or NVI.
The Stochastico is built with the OBV signal of 3 different time frames, as it is for daily work
Has multiple settings and signals =
Color in overbought and oversold zones
visual alerts of crossovers in overbought and oversold zones
Alerts in for TDW on overbought and oversold
Signal length for% K

Smart Money Setup 04 [TradingFinder] Three Drive (Harmonic) + OB🔵 Introduction
The "Three Drive" pattern is a well-known formation in technical analysis, recognized for its ability to signal potential trend reversals in price action. Within the realm of trading, particularly in the context of "Reversal Patterns," the Three Drive pattern holds significance as a reliable indicator of shifts in market sentiment.
🟣 Bullish 3 Drive
This pattern typically manifests at a price bottom, where a sequence of lower lows suggests a prevailing negative trend. However, within the structure of the Three Drive pattern, a notable occurrence unfolds.
The second low breaches the range of the first low, followed by the third low surpassing the range of the second low. These penetrations signify a diminishing selling pressure and an emerging buying interest.
Traders often await the confirmation of the third low surpassing the second low as an entry point, with price targets set at the highs formed within the Three Drive pattern.
🟣 Bearish 3 Drive
Conversely, the Bearish Three Drive pattern emerges at a price top, characterized by a sequence of higher highs indicating an upward trend. Yet, amidst this apparent bullish momentum, a shift occurs.
The second high breaks beyond the range of the first high, succeeded by the third high exceeding the range of the second high. These breaches signify a waning buying strength and a resurgence in selling pressure.
Entry into a trade is often executed after the confirmation of the third high surpassing the second high, with targets set at the lows formed within the Three Drive pattern.
Importance :
Understanding the Three Drive pattern's significance extends beyond mere technical analysis. It bears resemblance to other established patterns, such as the Harmonic Pattern and Ending Diagonal within the Elliott Wave Theory.
Recognizing these parallels aids traders in comprehending broader market dynamics and potential price movements.
🔵 Formation of 3 Drive in Order Block Zone
The convergence of the Three Drive pattern with the concept of the Order Block Zone introduces a nuanced layer to traders' analytical approach.
In "Price Action" methodology, Order Blocks represent areas on the price chart where significant market players, such as institutional traders, have executed notable orders.
These zones often act as barriers, with price encountering resistance or support upon reaching them.
When the Three Drive pattern forms within an Order Block Zone, it signifies a confluence of market dynamics.
The completion of the pattern within this zone suggests a potential reversal in the prevailing trend, augmented by the presence of significant institutional orders.
Traders incorporate these Order Blocks into their analysis to identify probable levels where price may change direction, enhancing the reliability of their trading decisions.
🔵 How to Use :
To effectively utilize the Three Drive pattern within the Order Block Zone, traders seek alignment between the completion of the pattern and the presence of significant Order Blocks.
This convergence enhances the reliability of the pattern's signals, increasing the likelihood of successful trade outcomes.

SMT @joshuuuSmart Money Tool / Smart Money Technique is a concept taught by ICT (The InnerCircleTrader).
It compares correlated assets and if the correlation gets disrupted, we call it a smt divergence.
Correlated assets are for example the nasdaq, the sp500 and the dow.
A bullish scenario would be if one of those three makes a lower low and the other two make a higher low. In this case, that would form a divergence.
Another example would be the dxy (dollar-index), the eurusd and gbpusd. what's special about dxy compared to eurusd or gbpusd, is that dxy is inversely correlated to eurusd and gbpusd.
For inversely correlated assets the script has the option to inverse symbols.
Besides the option to inverse symbols, the script is also able to track smts between the two other symbols, that are not on the current chart and it's possible to filter smts only for certain time periods.
Options for those time periods are
ICT Killzones (all mentioned times are in ny time)
London Killzone : 0200-0500
forex:
NewYork Killzone : 0700-1000
indices:
NYAM Killzone : 0830-1100
NYPM Killzone : 1330-1600
ICTs Index SMT Times
AM - 0500-0930
PM - 1200-1500
To detect smts, the script compares swing highs with previous swing highs and swing lows with previous swing lows on all three symbols. To determine swing points, the user is able to input the amount of
candles to detect swing points, usually 1-3 is enough.

Smart Buy/Sell Signal IndicatorOverview
The Smart Buy/Sell Signal Indicator is a multi-factor trading tool that i ntegrates Supertrend, Bollinger Bands, RSI, ADX, and Moving Averages to generate high-probability buy and sell signals. Unlike simple crossover-based strategies, this indicator leverages multiple layers of confirmation to reduce false signals and improve trade execution accuracy.
This indicator is designed for trend-following traders, scalpers, and swing traders, helping them identify key reversal points and momentum shifts with precise breakout conditions.
How It Works
The Smart Buy/Sell Signal Indicator filters out weak trade signals by combining trend, volatility, momentum, and strength indicators in the following manner:
✅ Supertrend-Based Trend Filtering:
• The script checks if the price is above or below the Supertrend level before confirming a buy or sell signal.
• Buy signals occur below the Supertrend Down level, confirming support.
• Sell signals occur above the Supertrend Up level, confirming resistance.
✅ Bollinger Bands for Overbought & Oversold Conditions:
• Buy signals are confirmed when price touches the Bollinger Lower Band (suggesting oversold conditions).
• Sell signals are confirmed when price touches the Bollinger Upper Band (suggesting overbought conditions).
• This ensures that trades occur at high-probability reversal zones, rather than random price action.
✅ RSI Momentum Confirmation:
• Buy trades trigger when RSI is below 50 (indicating strength building from an oversold region).
• Sell trades trigger when RSI is above 50 (indicating weakness forming in an overbought region).
• This ensures signals are momentum-backed and not counter-trend moves.
✅ ADX Strength Confirmation:
• The script filters signals using the ADX (Average Directional Index) to ensure that only trades with sufficient market strength are executed.
• If the ADX value is below a threshold (default: 15), the signal is ignored to prevent false breakouts in choppy markets.
✅ Confirmation Moving Average (MA) for Trend Validation:
• The script applies an additional confirmation filter using a Moving Average (SMA/EMA).
• Buy signals trigger only when the price is above the MA, aligning with trend direction.
• Sell signals trigger only when the price is below the MA, ensuring alignment with the broader market structure.
✅ Trade Cooldown Mechanism (Minimum Bars Between Signals):
• To avoid frequent signals in sideways markets, a cooldown period is implemented.
• Default: 5 bars between signals (adjustable).
• Prevents rapid consecutive trades, reducing false entries.
Key Features
✔️ Supertrend & Moving Average Confirmation – Ensures trades are taken only in the correct trend direction.
✔️ Bollinger Bands Integration – Helps identify high-probability reversal zones.
✔️ ADX Strength Filtering – Ensures trades are only executed when the market has enough strength.
✔️ Momentum-Based RSI Filtering – Avoids counter-trend trades and confirms directional strength.
✔️ Trade Cooldown Mechanism – Reduces overtrading and noise in sideways markets.
✔️ Webhook Alerts for Automation – Auto-execute trades or receive real-time notifications.
✔️ Customizable Inputs – Adjustable thresholds, EMA/SMA length, ADX filter, cooldown period for flexibility.
✔️ Works Across Multiple Timeframes – Suitable for scalping (5m, 15m), swing trading (1H, 4H), and position trading (Daily).
How to Use
📌 Scalping & Intraday Trading:
• Use on 5m, 15m, or 30m timeframes.
• Look for Bollinger Band touch + RSI confirmation + Supertrend support/resistance validation before entering trades.
📌 Swing Trading:
• Use on 1H or 4H timeframes.
• Enter only when ADX is strong and price aligns with Supertrend direction.
📌 Webhook Automation:
• Set up TradingView Alerts to auto-execute trades via Webhook-compatible platforms.
Why This Combination?
This indicator is not just a simple moving average crossover tool.
It is designed to filter out weak breakouts and only execute trades that have:
✅ Trend confirmation (Supertrend + Moving Average)
✅ Volatility filtering (Bollinger Bands for overbought/oversold confirmation)
✅ Momentum validation (RSI threshold filtering)
✅ Market strength requirement (ADX ensures sufficient momentum)
This multi-layered approach ensures that only the highest-quality setups are executed, improving both win rate and reliability.
Why It’s Worth Using?
🚀 Reduces False Breakouts – Avoids weak breakouts by requiring ADX confirmation.
🚀 Works in All Market Conditions – Trend-following logic for trending markets, volatility-based entries for reversals.
🚀 Customizable to Any Trading Style – Adjustable parameters for trend, momentum, and strength filtering.
🚀 Seamless Webhook Automation – Execute trades automatically with TradingView alerts.

Zeta BreakoutIf I ask you what moves the price, most of you will say the same old answer: Demand & Supply
But who creates Demand & Supply? You or Me, the retailers? No. It is Big Institutions and Mutual Funds and Big Banks which create this demand and supply because the
share of retailers in Stock Market is so little it does not affect the price in a big way.
The Big Institutions, Mutual Funds, Big Banks or in some cases Governments, are collectively called Smart Money.
When Smart Money steps in, the previous levels of Support or Resistance are broken and then the up or down move starts which most probably goes a certain distance.
Now the Support or Resistance levels are not static, they are dynamic in nature and keep changing with the time.
How does this indicator work?
Zeta Breakout dynamically and automatically detects and marks these levels and when the price break-outs or break-downs or bounces up or down from these levels, the Buy or Sell Signals are generated for you to follow.
The indicator keeps watching previous or newly created levels of Support or Resistance and as soon as price crosses these levels or bounces from these levels, the user is alerted in the form of 'Buy' or 'Sell' Signals.
How to use this indicator?
1. When you see a Buy Signal, take Buy Position and hold it till either (a) You see opposite signal or (b) Your Stop Loss is hit which is ideally the low of candle preceding the signal candle or any other user defined SL. If your stop loss is hit and then price again starts moving in the same direction as indicated by the last Buy signal, take a fresh position as soon as the price crosses the level where previous signal is sitting.
2. When you see a Sell Signal, close your Buy Position, take a Sell position and hold it till either (a) You see opposite signal or (b) Your Stop Loss is hit which is ideally the high of candle preceding the signal candle or any user defined SL. If your stop loss is hit and then price again starts moving in the same direction as indicated by the last Sell signal, take a fresh position as soon as the price crosses the level where previous signal is sitting.
What are the target instruments/markets for this indicator?
This indicator can be used on Stocks, Indices, Gold , Silver , Currency Pairs, Crude Oil or anything being trades on any exchange in the world.
This indicator is not limited to any specific time-frame. You may select any time-frame which suits your trading style.

STIC bullish and bearish hunter with FVGSmart Trading and Investment Companion (STIC) is a sophisticated tool designed to identify and visualize inducement, market structure, market trends, track liquidity, and project and forecast price action for all applicable assets. it has been tested to work on all timeframes and has been traded on stock, forex, and crypto assets.
This script is an upgraded version of previous STIC indicator, which you can use in addition to it or separately as you deem fit
Traders/ investor that are familiar with market structure, inducement, candlestick psychology, trend-following indicatorsand Fair Value Gap FVG will find it easy to adopt this trading and investment companion. As stated below, this is how it works.
Features and how to use
1st of all, after adding the indicator to yoursuperchart, you want to endusre to set your to so as to enable you see the text labeling clearly. to do that, after adding the indicator to your chart, right click it on the list, you will se the Visual order option.
Special Extreme Alert!
By analyzing the trends and dimensions, we are able to predict market extremes conditions, especially in pump and dump scenarios. (the bullish or bearish P/D extreme alerts).
Market flip arrow
The arrows trigger to indicate when the market flips to bullish (green) or bearish (red) conditions. note that this arrow is just a market flip confirmation and it it triggered by market trends, it does not come one time and sometimes later after market trigger conditions had been met.
circled in white.
Buy or sell potential {The tiny yelow(sell) and blue(buy) triangle}
By analyzing market extreme conditions, market sentiment, and liquidity, the buy/sell potential alert trigger is able to determine the state of the market, This can and should be used in combination with the market flip line (MFL) [the yellow line from , market flip trigger (MFT) (purple line), and market support/resistance line (MSR)(blue line) .
Market flip Line (Blue line) (MFL): the MFL is useful to also understand the market phase; a candle close above the MFL is bullish, while a candle close Below, the MFL is bearish. You are, however, expected to experience market retests and rejections coupled with support and resistance to follow through with the predicted direction. Patience is a valuable virtue in trading.
Extended sell or buy hunt (Red and Green Triangle)
this is real-time triangles indicator just like every other indicator on theis chart that indicates the market direction labeled with buy and sell. Note that the market-extended extreme can occur multiple times in the same direction. Hence, we'll advise having multiple trade entries.
The flip support line
Market Flip Trigger Line (MFTL) (Magenta): When the market crosses and closes below or above the Market Flip Trigger Line, you should wait for a confirmation. a confirmation is usually a retest or rejection of the line. A candle close and reject indicates the market as flip direction and it is going for a correction or major reversal. it is applicable on all timeframe.
As mentioned earlier, if you understand market structure and sentiment, using the uFVG, iFVG, upLQTY, downLQTY and BOS will be easy. however, this is how it works, you may need tohave and expanded readbout market structure for additional knowledge.
upLQTY (Bullish liquidity inducement)
The indicator appear at the close and confirmation on the 3rd candle and it is extended to only appear on 200 bars applicable on all timeframes.
This is a bullish sentiment and liquidty inducement order block that occurs, leading to the break of trend structure and change of character. Meaning the market sentiment as change which is backed up by liquidity in that region, which mostly gets filled, especially on lower timeframes before the price action continues. If price revese breaks and hold above this region, it invalidates the order block. This will always appear when there is a confirmed change of character CHoCH to the bullish side.
downLQTY (Bearish liquidity inducement) The indicator appear at the close and confirmation on the 3rd candle and it is extended to only appear on 200 bars applicable on all timeframes. It is and inverse of the upLQTY.
like order block, these are supply and demand zones that has the potential to change the direction of a trade. This is a bearish order block that occurs, leading to the break of structure and change of character. Meaning there is bearish liquidity yet to be accounted for in the region, which mostly gets filled, especially on lower timeframes before the price action continues. If broken, it invalidates the order block. This will always appear when there is a confirmed change of character from CHoCH to the bearish side.
Fair Value Gap
From general knowledge, FVG also know as Fair value gaps are inbalnace created by a 3 candlestick pattern where the top of the bottom candles doesn't cross the bottom of the top candle. like order block, these are supply and demand zones that has the potential to change the direction of a trade. This mostly indicate the presense of big plays in the market. for STIC indicator, FVG are labeled as listed below;
UFVG, also FVGup, {Colour green box} = bullish imbalance fair value gap
IFVG, aka FVGdown, {Red box} = bearish imbalance fair value gap
OIFVG, {Yellow box, no label} = other imbalances fair value gab
You should not that FG has upper, lower and middle band, any of the this area can be induced and filled by price.
Alert Conditions!
Buy alert conditions
- Any bullish buy alert
- Bullish hunt
- Re-entry Buy
- Sharp Market Sell rejection
- Buy potential
- upLQTY
Long position Exit conditions
- ExtremeB
- Profit
- Sell hunt
The Entry, exit and trail profit alert trigger should be used as position exit conditions either for a Long (Buy) or Short (Sell) situation and should be set as OPB (Once Per Bar). Using it as entry for exit or vice versa as shown not to be very profitable. hence the need to combine with other order entry alerts like the Any bullish or Bearish alerts
Sell alert conditions ( NOTE: All Sell alert are not yet included in this current version as this is targeted towards bullrun.)
- Sell potential
- Sell triangle (Sell hunt)
- downLQTY
and any trail profit alert, this alert put into consideration all the conditions required to trail profit.
Risk management advice
Patience and a good risk management strategy are required to be profitable trader using this tool. You need to ensure not to overleverage, and you should have multiple entries in case the buy coditions/alert shows again below the previous buy alert before a sell condition/alert occurs.
Smart DCA StrategyINSPIRATION
While Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) is a popular and stress-free investment approach, I noticed an opportunity for enhancement. Standard DCA involves buying consistently, regardless of market conditions, which can sometimes mean missing out on optimal investment opportunities. This led me to develop the Smart DCA Strategy – a 'set and forget' method like traditional DCA, but with an intelligent twist to boost its effectiveness.
The goal was to build something more profitable than a standard DCA strategy so it was equally important that this indicator could backtest its own results in an A/B test manner against the regular DCA strategy.
WHY IS IT SMART?
The key to this strategy is its dynamic approach: buying aggressively when the market shows signs of being oversold, and sitting on the sidelines when it's not. This approach aims to optimize entry points, enhancing the potential for better returns while maintaining the simplicity and low stress of DCA.
WHAT THIS STRATEGY IS, AND IS NOT
This is an investment style strategy. It is designed to improve upon the common standard DCA investment strategy. It is therefore NOT a day trading strategy. Feel free to experiment with various timeframes, but it was designed to be used on a daily timeframe and that's how I recommend it to be used.
You may also go months without any buy signals during bull markets, but remember that is exactly the point of the strategy - to keep your buying power on the sidelines until the markets have significantly pulled back. You need to be patient and trust in the historical backtesting you have performed.
HOW IT WORKS
The Smart DCA Strategy leverages a creative approach to using Moving Averages to identify the most opportune moments to buy. A trigger occurs when a daily candle, in its entirety including the high wick, closes below the threshold line or box plotted on the chart. The indicator is designed to facilitate both backtesting and live trading.
HOW TO USE
Settings:
The input parameters for tuning have been intentionally simplified in an effort to prevent users falling into the overfitting trap.
The main control is the Buying strictness scale setting. Setting this to a lower value will provide more buying days (less strict) while higher values mean less buying days (more strict). In my testing I've found level 9 to provide good all round results.
Validation days is a setting to prevent triggering entries until the asset has spent a given number of days (candles) in the overbought state. Increasing this makes entries stricter. I've found 0 to give the best results across most assets.
In the backtest settings you can also configure how much to buy for each day an entry triggers. Blind buy size is the amount you would buy every day in a standard DCA strategy. Smart buy size is the amount you would buy each day a Smart DCA entry is triggered.
You can also experiment with backtesting your strategy over different historical datasets by using the Start date and End date settings. The results table will not calculate for any trades outside what you've set in the date range settings.
Backtesting:
When backtesting you should use the results table on the top right to tune and optimise the results of your strategy. As with all backtests, be careful to avoid overfitting the parameters. It's better to have a setup which works well across many currencies and historical periods than a setup which is excellent on one dataset but bad on most others. This gives a much higher probability that it will be effective when you move to live trading.
The results table provides a clear visual representation as to which strategy, standard or smart, is more profitable for the given dataset. You will notice the columns are dynamically coloured red and green. Their colour changes based on which strategy is more profitable in the A/B style backtest - green wins, red loses. The key metrics to focus on are GOA (Gain on Account) and Avg Cost .
Live Trading:
After you've finished backtesting you can proceed with configuring your alerts for live trading.
But first, you need to estimate the amount you should buy on each Smart DCA entry. We can use the Total invested row in the results table to calculate this. Assuming we're looking to trade on BITSTAMP:BTCUSD
Decide how much USD you would spend each day to buy BTC if you were using a standard DCA strategy. Lets say that is $5 per day
Enter that USD amount in the Blind buy size settings box
Check the Blind Buy column in the results table. If we set the backtest date range to the last 10 years, we would expect the amount spent on blind buys over 10 years to be $18,250 given $5 each day
Next we need to tweak the value of the Smart buy size parameter in setting to get it as close as we can to the Total Invested amount for Blind Buy
By following this approach it means we will invest roughly the same amount into our Smart DCA strategy as we would have into a standard DCA strategy over any given time period.
After you have calculated the Smart buy size , you can go ahead and set up alerts on Smart DCA buy triggers.
BOT AUTOMATION
In an effort to maintain the 'set and forget' stress-free benefits of a standard DCA strategy, I have set my personal Smart DCA Strategy up to be automated. The bot runs on AWS and I have a fully functional project for the bot on my GitHub account. Just reach out if you would like me to point you towards it. You can also hook this into any other 3rd party trade automation system of your choice using the pre-configured alerts within the indicator.
PLANNED FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
Currently this is purely an accumulation strategy. It does not have any sell signals right now but I have ideas on how I will build upon it to incorporate an algorithm for selling. The strategy should gradually offload profits in bull markets which generates more USD which gives more buying power to rinse and repeat the same process in the next cycle only with a bigger starting capital. Watch this space!
MARKETS
Crypto:
This strategy has been specifically built to work on the crypto markets. It has been developed, backtested and tuned against crypto markets and I personally only run it on crypto markets to accumulate more of the coins I believe in for the long term. In the section below I will provide some backtest results from some of the top crypto assets.
Stocks:
I've found it is generally more profitable than a standard DCA strategy on the majority of stocks, however the results proved to be a lot more impressive on crypto. This is mainly due to the volatility and cycles found in crypto markets. The strategy makes its profits from capitalising on pullbacks in price. Good stocks on the other hand tend to move up and to the right with less significant pullbacks, therefore giving this strategy less opportunity to flourish.
Forex:
As this is an accumulation style investment strategy, I do not recommend that you use it to trade Forex.
STRATEGY IN ACTION
Here you see the indicator running on the BITSTAMP:BTCUSD pair. You can read the indicator as follows:
Vertical green bands on historical candles represents where buy signals triggered in the past
Table on the top right represents the results of the A/B backtest against a standard DCA strategy
Green Smart Buy column shows that Smart DCA was more profitable than standard DCA on this backtest. That is shown by the percentage GOA (Gain on Account) and the Avg Cost
Smart Buy Zone label marks the threshold which the entire candle must be below to trigger a buy signal (line can be changed to a box under plotting settings)
Green color of Smart Buy Zone label represents that the open candle is still valid for a buy signal. A signal will only be generated if the candle closes while this label is still green
Below is the same BITSTAMP:BTCUSD chart a couple of days later. Notice how the threshold has been broken and the Smart Buy Zone label has turned from green to red. No buy signal can be triggered for this day - even if the candle retraced and closed below the threshold before daily candle close.
Notice how the green vertical bands tend to be present after significant pullbacks in price. This is the reason the strategy works! Below is the same BITSTAMP:BTCUSD chart, but this time zoomed out to present a clearer picture of the times it would invest vs times it would sit out of the market. You will notice it invests heavily in bear markets and significant pullbacks, and does not buy anything during bull markets.
Finally, to visually demonstrate the indicator on an asset other than BTC, here is an example on CRYPTO:ETHUSD . In this case the current daily high has not touched the threshold so it is still possible for this to be a valid buy trigger on daily candle close. The vertical green band will not print until the buy trigger is confirmed.
BACKTEST RESULTS
Now for some backtest results to demonstrate the improved performance over a standard DCA strategy using all non-stablecoin assets in the top 30 cryptos by marketcap.
I've used the TradingView ticker (exchange name denoted as CRYPTO in the symbol search) for every symbol tested with the exception of BTCUSD because there was some dodgy data at the beginning of the TradingView BTCUSD chart which overinflated the effectiveness of the Smart DCA strategy on that ticker. For BTCUSD I've used the BITSTAMP exchange data. The symbol links below will take you to the correct chart and exchange used for the test.
I'm using the GOA (Gain on Account) values to present how each strategy performed.
The value on the left side is the standard DCA result and the right is the Smart DCA result.
✅ means Smart DCA strategy outperformed the standard DCA strategy
❌ means standard DCA strategy outperformed the Smart DCA strategy
To avoid overfitting, and to prove that this strategy does not suffer from overfitting, I've used the exact same input parameters for every symbol tested below. The settings used in these backtests are:
Buying strictness scale: 9
Validation days: 0
You can absolutely tweak the values per symbol to further improve the results of each, however I think using identical settings on every pair tested demonstrates a higher likelihood that the results will be similar in the live markets.
I'm presenting results for two time periods:
First price data available for trading pair -> closing candle on Friday 26th Jan 2024 (ALL TIME)
Opening candle on Sunday 1st Jan 2023 -> closing candle on Friday 26th Jan 2024 (JAN 2023 -> JAN 2024)

Smart Money Concepts Mastering Smart Money Concepts: An Exhaustive Guide to the Indicator
As a trader who lives and breathes the markets, I know that understanding the true dynamics behind price movements is what gives us an edge. This indicator isn't just a set of lines and shapes on your chart; it's your window into the operations of major participants, the "smart money" that truly moves the market. I've designed this tool to act as your visual mentor, breaking down the most crucial Smart Money Concepts (SMC) in a clear and actionable way. Get ready to view the market with a fresh perspective.
Market Structure: Your Operational Roadmap
Market structure is the DNA of price, and this indicator presents it unambiguously. Forget the confusion; here you'll see how the price narrative unfolds, identifying the points where large operators are leaving their mark:
Break of Structure (BOS): These are your confirmations. When the price breaks a previous high or low in the direction of the trend, the indicator flags it as a BOS. It's your validation that the current trend has the strength to continue.
Internal BOS: Think of these as the small "steps" within a larger move. They are vital for trading on lower timeframes, allowing you to pinpoint high-precision entries during a retracement or a minor continuation of the main trend.
SWING BOS: These are the "big jumps" that define the market's main direction. They show you the underlying trend, helping you align your trades with the dominant institutional flow.
Change of Character (CHoCH): This is where the price story begins to shift. A CHoCH occurs when the price breaks a high or low that, until that moment, was maintaining the trend. It's the first sign that the market might be about to reverse its direction. Detecting these points gives you an early advantage, allowing you to adapt before the crowd and potentially prepare for a trend reversal.
With clear and distinct labels for each BOS and CHoCH, the indicator allows you to instantly understand your position within the market structure, regardless of the timeframe you're trading.
Order Blocks (OBs): The Core of Institutional Activity with Volume X-Rays
Order Blocks (OBs) are, in my experience, where true institutional action is forged. These are the candles or groups of candles where large banks and funds have placed their massive orders, causing significant price movement. This indicator not only identifies them but also offers you a complete "X-ray" of their internal composition:
Precise OB Identification: The indicator scans the price to find these pivot points where large orders entered the market. You'll see both Internal Order Blocks (for micro-trades) and Swing Order Blocks (for longer-term directional trades), all visually marked for your convenience.
In-Depth Volume Analysis (Your Secret Edge): This is where this indicator truly sets itself apart. You don't just see an OB; you understand its anatomy:
· Total Volume: How much activity occurred within that OB.
·Buy Volume: How much buying pressure existed.
·Sell Volume: How much selling pressure was exerted.
·Delta: The crucial difference between buy and sell volume. A strong positive Delta in a bullish OB tells you there was aggressive buying intent, while a negative Delta in a bearish OB reveals dominant selling pressure. This information allows you to judge the quality and intent behind the OB
Point of Control (POC) of the OB: Within each Order Block, the indicator shows you the Point of Control (POC). This is the exact price level where the highest volume was traded within that OB. Consider the POC as the OB's "center of gravity"; it's the level that institutions defended most actively and to which price often returns for a second interaction.
Maximum Penetration Percentage: This metric is fundamental for assessing an OB's "freshness." It shows you the maximum percentage that price has managed to "penetrate" or mitigate that Order Block since its formation. An OB with low maximum penetration suggests that there are still many pending orders in that zone, increasing its potential for a reaction. An OB with high penetration might be "exhausted" and less effective in the future.
Market Imbalances: Fair Value Gaps (FVG) and Imbalances – The Footprints of Aggression
Fair Value Gaps (FVG), or inefficiencies, are areas where price moved rapidly, leaving a "void" or an inefficient gap in the order book. These are zones that Smart Money often seeks to fill. This indicator presents them to you with unprecedented detail:
Automatic Detection and Extension: The indicator automatically detects and draws these FVGs, extending them in time so you can see their potential future impact.
Intelligent Classification (FVG vs. Imbalance): Not all imbalances are created equal. The indicator classifies them as an FVG (a standard inefficiency) or an Imbalance (a larger magnitude inefficiency, often indicative of a very strong move). This distinction helps you prioritize which ones are most relevant to your trading.
Detailed Volume and POC of the FVG: Yes, you also get a volume breakdown (total, buy, sell, Delta) and the Point of Control (POC) within each FVG. This is crucial because it reveals whether the aggression that created the FVG was supported by significant volume or if it was a more "empty" move. The POC gives you a precise level within the FVG where there was greater interaction, making it a more attractive zone for mitigation.
Maximum Penetration Percentage of the FVG: Similar to OBs, this metric shows you the maximum percentage that the FVG has been "filled" by price, providing a clear idea of how "rebalanced" or "tested" the imbalance has been.
Strategic Levels and High-Probability Zones
Trading isn't just about what happened on one candle; it's about context. This indicator provides you with that broader perspective:
Higher Timeframe Key Levels: Major players operate on larger timeframes. The indicator marks the past daily, weekly, and monthly highs and lows. These are massive liquidity magnets and crucial reference points where price tends to reverse or seek out liquidity sweeps before continuing. Having them on your chart is like having a map of liquidity pools.
Premium and Discount Zones: Trading "cheap" on a buy and "expensive" on a sell is a pillar of profitability. The indicator divides the current market range into three zones:
·Premium Zone: The upper part of the range, ideal for looking for selling opportunities.
·Equilibrium Zone: The midpoint, where the market often consolidates.
·Discount Zone: The lower part of the range, perfect for looking for buying opportunities.
Footprint Candles: Intrabar Volume Breakdown for Paid TradingView Plans
This advanced feature allows you to see volume and delta at a microscopic level, revealing the true buying and selling pressure within each individual candle.
Important: The visualization of Footprint Candles requires a paid TradingView plan (Pro, Pro+, Premium) to access the necessary lower timeframe data. If you don't have a paid plan, this functionality will not be displayed.
Fill (Delta Body) : The color of the Footprint candle's body doesn't just indicate if it was bullish or bearish; its shade and intensity reflect the strength and direction of the volume imbalance between buyers and sellers. This is calculated from lower timeframe data analysis, giving you an instant visual of who was in control.
Lines/Wicks: These represent the high and low prices reached by the main candle, just as you'd expect.
Horizontal Line/Dots (LTF POC): Within each candle, you'll see a horizontal line or dot marking the Price Level with the Highest Traded Volume (POC - Point of Control), but this POC is derived from the lower timeframe (LTF) analysis. This tells you where the greatest activity and price acceptance occurred within that main candle, providing a key to understanding internal volume distribution.
Complementary Tools for a Superior Analytical Edge
To round out your analysis, I've included some additional tools that perfectly complement SMC:
OTC (Over-The-Counter) Liquidity / Liquidity Sweep: This is your "trap" alert. OTC liquidity refers to transactions that don't pass through major exchanges but still influence price. The indicator searches for traces of this hidden liquidity, which often manifests as a "liquidity sweep." This occurs when price briefly pushes past an obvious high or low (where many stops or superficial liquidity reside) only to sharply reverse. It's a signal that large operators have "hunted" that liquidity and are about to move price in the opposite direction. Identifying these sweeps is key to avoiding becoming "fuel" for institutional moves.
Dynamic Fibonacci: A Fibonacci that doesn't stay static. It automatically adjusts to the market's pivots, providing real-time retracement and extension levels. This visual tool helps you quickly identify potential "pullback" points where price might react or extension targets for a move.
Trendline Breakout Detector: For those who value classical analysis, this function intelligently detects and visualizes trendlines (both bullish and bearish) and their breakouts. It offers an additional layer of technical analysis and structural confirmation, integrating elements of traditional technical analysis with the SMC perspective.
A Final Thought (From Trader to Trader):
Remember, no tool is a crystal ball. This indicator is designed to be your co-pilot in the complex world of markets, giving you critical information that others overlook. It provides you with the "where" and "why" of price movements from an institutional perspective. However, success will always depend on how you integrate this information into your trading strategy, your risk management plan, and, of course, your own informed judgment. Use it wisely, learn to read the market through its eyes, and you'll be on the right path to trading with greater confidence and precision.

⚙️ How It Works
1. Structure Recognition:
• The script checks for Higher Highs / Lower Lows to determine trend context.
• A BOS/CHoCH label appears when structure shifts.
2. Order Blocks:
• A bullish OB is detected when the previous candle is bearish and the current one closes above its high.
• A bearish OB is vice versa.
3. OTE Levels:
• Based on daily range from high to low.
• Highlights 0.705–0.79 as a potential retracement entry zone (optimal sniper entry).
4. FVG Detection:
• If there is a gap between candle 3 and candle 1 (current candle), it is marked as an imbalance zone.
🎯 Best Use Cases
• Entry confirmations using CHoCH + OB + OTE confluence
• Liquidity grabs + FVG retest setups
• Institutional trend reversals (AMD cycles)
• Smart retracement entries using OTE zones
⸻
💡 Tips for Traders
