SMT - Malibu SMT Correlation Crack Indicator
This indicator detects Smart Money Technique (SMT) divergences between two correlated assets, helping traders identify potential reversal points when the primary asset and comparison symbol show opposite price movements.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHAT IT DOES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Detects Bearish Divergence: Primary makes Higher High while Compare makes Lower High
• Detects Bullish Divergence: Primary makes Lower Low while Compare makes Higher Low
• Draws divergence lines between swing points automatically
• Optional labels for quick identification
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HOW TO USE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. Set your Comparison Symbol (e.g., NQ1! for Nasdaq when trading ES)
2. Adjust Swing Length for sensitivity (lower = more swings, higher = fewer)
3. Customize colors to match your chart theme
4. Enable/disable labels based on your preference
Recommended Pairs:
• ES1! vs NQ1! (S&P 500 vs Nasdaq)
• GC1! vs SI1! (Gold vs Silver)
• EURUSD vs GBPUSD (Forex pairs)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
TRADING CONCEPT
SMT divergence occurs when correlated assets move in opposite directions at swing points. This often indicates institutional activity and can signal potential reversals.
• Bearish Divergence → Potential Short Setup
• Bullish Divergence → Potential Long Setup
Always use with confluence from other SMT elements (Order Blocks, FVGs, Liquidity).
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SETTINGS
• Compare Symbol: Second asset to compare with current chart
• Timeframe: Leave empty to use current chart timeframe
• Swing Length: Swing detection sensitivity (1-20)
• Colors: Customizable for bearish/bullish divergences
• Show Labels: Display BEAR/BULL tags at divergences

SMT
CandelaCharts - SMT 📝 Overview
The CandelaCharts – SMT indicator is a professional-grade Smart Money Technique (SMT) divergence detector designed to compare price action between correlated markets (intermarket analysis).
It identifies moments where the main chart makes a swing high or low while one or more comparison symbols fail to confirm the move—revealing potential institutional imbalance, distribution, or accumulation .
By automatically detecting pivot-based divergences and drawing clean, contextual lines and labels directly on price, SMT helps traders spot high-probability reversal or continuation zones driven by relative strength and weakness across markets.
📦 Features
Automatic SMT divergence detection – Identifies divergences between the main chart and up to two comparison symbols.
Pivot-based logic – Uses swing highs and swing lows to ensure structurally meaningful SMT signals.
Dual-symbol comparison – Compare the main market against one or two correlated instruments simultaneously.
Bullish & bearish SMT filtering – Show only bullish, bearish, or both divergence types.
Clear visual mapping – Divergence lines are drawn directly between pivots for intuitive price-context reading.
Smart labels – Compact labels display symbol(s), volume, and directional markers.
Detailed tooltips – Hover tooltips include divergence type, symbols involved, prices, volume, timestamps, and pivot settings.
Highly customizable visuals – Control colors, line width, and label styling.
⚙️ Settings
Lookback – Pivot lookback length used to detect swing highs and lows. Higher values produce fewer but more significant SMT signals.
Bias – Control which SMTs are displayed: Both, Bearish or Bullish
Swing High Color – Line and label color for SMT at swing highs.
Swing Low Color – Line and label color for SMT at swing lows.
Line Width – Thickness of SMT divergence lines.
Symbol 1 – Enable and select the first comparison instrument (e.g., NQ vs ES).
Symbol 2 – Enable and select the second comparison instrument (optional).

ICT Confluence EngineICT Confluence Engine
A Complete ICT Confluence & Execution Framework
🔥 Overview:
ICT Confluence Engine is a fully integrated ICT-based trading framework that brings together liquidity, market structure, order flow, and execution confluence into a single, unified system.
This engine synchronizes Liquidity, Market Structure, Order blocks and Fair Value Gaps contextually, ensuring signals only appear when multiple ICT conditions align.
This is not a signal spam tool.
It is a confirmation engine.
🧠 Core Philosophy:
Markets move in a sequence:
Liquidity → Structure Shift → Displacement → Repricing
Unified ICT Engine Pro is built to track that exact sequence in real time.
No single concept is traded in isolation.
🚀 Key Features (At a Glance)
- HTF liquidity levels (Daily & Weekly)
- Automatic liquidity sweep detection
- CHoCH & BOS market structure labeling
- Fair Value Gaps with mitigation logic
- Order Blocks with Mean Thresholds
- Golden Zone confluence detection
- Real-time setup readiness engine
- Professional execution HUD
GBPUSD Daily Chart
🔍 Feature Breakdown (In Depth)
1️⃣ HTF Liquidity Levels (PDH / PDL / PWH / PWL)
Automatically plots:
- Previous Day High / Low
- Previous Week High / Low
- Levels extend forward as liquidity targets
- Used internally to detect liquidity sweeps
Liquidity must be taken before direction is confirmed.
2️⃣ Liquidity Sweep Intelligence
Detects when price:
- Trades beyond daily or weekly liquidity
- Arms the system for potential reversal or continuation logic
- No sweep → no valid structure shift
This prevents premature CHoCH signals.
3️⃣ Market Structure (CHoCH & BOS)
Uses pivot-based structure logic
Labels:
- CHoCH (Change of Character)
- BOS (Break of Structure)
- Automatically tracks bullish vs bearish regime
Structure only matters after liquidity is addressed — this engine enforces that rule.
4️⃣ Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
- Detects displacement-based FVGs
- Bullish & bearish imbalances clearly marked
- Active FVGs extend forward until mitigated
Once mitigated:
- Fades visually
- Stops extending
Only unmitigated inefficiencies remain actionable.
5️⃣ Order Blocks (OBs)
- Automatically identifies valid bullish & bearish OBs
- Draws Mean Threshold (50%) levels for precision
- OBs turn hollow once mitigated
- Keeps only relevant institutional footprints
This avoids historical clutter and false relevance.
6️⃣ Golden Zone Confluence Engine
This is where the indicator becomes a system.
When:
- An active Order Block
- Overlaps with an active Fair Value Gap
- In the same directional bias
- The zone is highlighted as a Golden Zone.
If price trades into this area after CHoCH, the engine flags:
SET-UP READY
- No guessing.
- No early entries.

7️⃣ Execution HUD Dashboard
The HUD displays:
- Current market bias
- Setup status (Scanning / Set-Up Ready)
- Number of active OBs
- Version & system state
This allows traders to execute without scanning the chart manually.

SMC + FVG PRO++Hollow Point]1. INTRODUCTION & INSTALLATION
What is SMC Suite Pro?
SMC Suite Pro is a professional-grade Smart Money Concepts indicator built for serious traders. Unlike basic SMC tools, this suite incorporates institutional-level filtering including displacement validation, volume confirmation, and structure-based detection to eliminate low-probability setups.
What Makes This Different:
Quality Filtering: Order Blocks require displacement (strong move away), not just any swing
Volume Confirmation: Optional volume spike filter for institutional footprint detection
Structure Based: OBs only valid after Break of Structure (BOS)
Smart Mitigation: Tracks partial fills vs full mitigation
Auto Fibonacci: Dynamic fibs from confirmed swing points
Institutional S/R: Based on liquidity zones, not random pivots
Clean Visuals: Minimal, professional, no chart clutter
Installation:
Open TradingView and navigate to your chart
Click 'Indicators' in the top toolbar (or press /)
Select 'Invite-only scripts' or search for 'SMC Suite Pro '
Click to add the indicator to your chart
Access settings by clicking the gear icon next to the indicator name
2. MASTER CONTROLS
The Master Controls section allows you to quickly toggle each major feature on or off. This is useful for decluttering your chart or focusing on specific concepts.

Pro Tip: When learning SMC concepts, enable only one feature at a time to understand how each zone type behaves before combining them.
3. FAIR VALUE GAPS (FVG)
What is a Fair Value Gap?
A Fair Value Gap (also called an imbalance) is a three-candle pattern where price moves so aggressively that it creates a gap between the first and third candle. This gap represents an area where price moved too quickly for proper price discovery, and the market often returns to "fill" this gap.
Bullish FVG: Forms when the low of the current candle is higher than the high of two candles ago. This indicates strong buying pressure and creates a support zone.
Bearish FVG: Forms when the high of the current candle is lower than the low of two candles ago. This indicates strong selling pressure and creates a resistance zone.
FVG Settings:
SettingRangeDescriptionMax FVGs to Track10-200How many FVGs to keep on chart (older ones removed)Min FVG Size (Points)0+Filter out tiny gaps. Set to 0 for no filterMitigation TypeClose/Wick/CEHow price must interact to mitigate the FVGShow Mitigated FVGsON/OFFKeep or remove FVGs after mitigationShow CE Line (50%)ON/OFFDisplay the Consequent Encroachment lineBullish FVG ColorColorDefault: Cyan (#00BCD4)Bearish FVG ColorColorDefault: Orange (#FF6D00)
Understanding Mitigation Types:
Close: FVG is mitigated only when a candle CLOSES inside the zone
Wick: FVG is mitigated when any wick touches the zone (most sensitive)
CE (50%): FVG is mitigated when price reaches the 50% level (Consequent Encroachment)
Pro Tip: The CE (50%) level is where institutional traders often target their entries. Enable 'Show CE Line' to see this key level as a dotted line through each FVG.
4. ORDER BLOCKS (OB)
What is an Order Block?
An Order Block is the last opposing candle before a significant move that breaks market structure. It represents a zone where institutional orders were placed, and price often returns to these zones before continuing in the direction of the break.
Bullish OB: The last bearish (red) candle before price breaks above a swing high. This zone acts as potential support when price returns.
Bearish OB: The last bullish (green) candle before price breaks below a swing low. This zone acts as potential resistance when price returns.
Order Block Settings:
SettingRangeDescriptionOB Detection Lookback10-200How far back to keep OBs visibleSwing Length2-20Bars needed to confirm a swing high/lowRequire DisplacementON/OFFOB must have strong move away (2x ATR)Require Volume SpikeON/OFFOB candle must exceed avg volume by 20%Show Mitigated OBsON/OFFKeep or remove OBs after price trades throughBullish OB ColorColorDefault: Green (#4CAF50)Bearish OB ColorColorDefault: Red (#F44336)
Quality Filtering Explained:
Displacement Requirement: This is what separates high-quality OBs from noise. When enabled, the indicator only marks OBs where price moved at least 2x the Average True Range (ATR) away from the zone. This confirms institutional participation.
Volume Requirement: When enabled, the OB candle must have volume at least 20% above the 20-period average. This helps confirm that the zone had significant trading activity.
Pro Tip: Keep 'Require Displacement' ON for cleaner, higher-probability setups. Only disable it if you want to see all potential OBs for educational purposes.
5. BREAKER BLOCKS (BB)
What is a Breaker Block?
A Breaker Block is a failed Order Block that has been violated and now acts with opposite polarity. When an OB fails to hold, it indicates a shift in market sentiment and becomes a powerful zone for the opposite direction.
Bullish Breaker: Forms when a bearish OB is broken to the upside. The failed resistance zone now acts as support.
Bearish Breaker: Forms when a bullish OB is broken to the downside. The failed support zone now acts as resistance.
Breaker Block Settings:
SettingDefaultDescriptionShow Mitigated BreakersOFFKeep or remove breakers after mitigationBullish Breaker ColorColorDefault: Blue (#2196F3)Bearish Breaker ColorColorDefault: Purple (#9C27B0)
How Breakers Form:
A valid Order Block forms after a Break of Structure
Price returns to the OB zone as expected
Instead of respecting the zone, price breaks through it
The failed OB is now marked as a Breaker with flipped polarity
Price often returns to test the breaker from the opposite side
Pro Tip: Breaker Blocks are particularly powerful when they align with higher timeframe structure. A breaker on the 15m that aligns with a 4H level is a high-probability setup.
6. SUPPORT & RESISTANCE
Dynamic S/R Zones
Unlike traditional S/R that uses arbitrary horizontal lines, this indicator creates dynamic zones based on confirmed swing points. These zones represent areas of genuine liquidity where price has previously reversed.
S/R Settings:
SettingRangeDescriptionS/R Swing Length3-50Bars needed to confirm swing high/lowMax Levels Each Side2-10Maximum support and resistance levels to showZone Width (ATR %)0.1-1.0How wide the S/R zone is (as % of ATR)Support Zone ColorColorDefault: Teal (#26A69A)Resistance Zone ColorColorDefault: Red (#EF5350)
Pro Tip: Use a higher Swing Length (15-20) for cleaner, more significant levels. Lower values (5-10) will show more levels but include more noise.
7. FIBONACCI EXTENSIONS
Auto-Calculated Fibonacci Levels
The indicator automatically calculates Fibonacci extension levels from confirmed swing points. These levels help identify potential profit targets and reversal zones.
Fibonacci Settings:

1.618 (Golden Ratio): The most significant fib level - high probability reversal zone
2.0 (200%): Double the original move - strong target in trending markets

10. TRADING STRATEGIES
Strategy 1: FVG + OB Confluence
The highest probability setups occur when multiple zone types align. Look for an Order Block that contains or overlaps with a Fair Value Gap.
Identify the trend direction on a higher timeframe
Wait for a Break of Structure in your trading timeframe
Look for an OB that forms with an FVG inside or adjacent to it
Enter when price returns to the zone, ideally at the FVG's CE (50%) level
Stop loss below/above the OB; target the next S/R level or fib extension
Strategy 2: Breaker Block Reversal
Breaker Blocks signal potential trend changes. Trade them when they align with higher timeframe structure.
Note when a valid Order Block fails (becomes a Breaker)
Wait for price to move away from the breaker zone
Enter when price returns to test the breaker from the opposite side
Stop loss on the other side of the breaker zone
Target the next significant zone or fib level
Strategy 3: Fibonacci Extension Targets
Use the auto-calculated fib levels to set profit targets and identify potential reversal zones.
Enter a trade using FVG, OB, or Breaker confluence
Set first target at the 1.0 (100%) fib level
Move stop to breakeven after first target is hit
Trail remaining position toward 1.618 level
Watch for reversal signs at each fib level
11. BEST PRACTICES
Timeframe Selection:
Scalping (1m-5m): Use shorter swing lengths (3-5), focus on FVGs
Day Trading (15m-1H): Default settings work well; use OB + FVG confluence
Swing Trading (4H-Daily): Use longer swing lengths (10-20); focus on OBs and Breakers
Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
Identify bias on the Daily/4H chart using S/R zones
Look for OBs and Breakers on the 1H chart in the direction of bias
Time entries on the 15m/5m using FVG + OB confluence
Use fib extensions from the higher timeframe for targets
Risk Management:
Never risk more than 1-2% per trade
Place stops beyond the full zone, not at the edge
Wait for price to enter the zone before executing
Don't chase - if you miss the zone, wait for the next setup
Reduced size when trading against higher timeframe trend
Common Mistakes to Avoid:
Trading every zone without confluence
Ignoring higher timeframe context
Entering before price reaches the zone
Using zones that have already been mitigated
Overcomplicating the chart with all features enabled
"Dull entries miss the mark. Hollow points always expand."

**Step 1:** Agent F scans for ICT patterns (OBs, FVGs, Liquidity, Structure)
**Step 2:** Calculates confluence score (0-25 points) by checking alignment across 25 factors
**Step 3:** If score meets threshold (8/11/14 depending on mode), signal appears
**Step 4:** Panel shows entry, stop, targets, R:R ratio, and active factors
**Step 5:** You execute the high-probability setup with clear risk management
**That's it.** No complex interpretation. No guesswork. Just clear, actionable signals.

SMT Divergence [Kodexius]SMT Divergence is a correlation-based divergence detector built around the Smart Money Technique concept: when two normally correlated instruments should be making similar swing progress, but one prints a new extreme while the other fails to confirm it. This “disagreement” can be a valuable contextual signal around liquidity runs, distribution phases, and potential reversal or continuation points.
The script compares the chart symbol (primary) with a user-selected comparison symbol (for example BTC vs ETH, ES vs NQ, EUR/USD vs GBP/USD) and automatically scans both instruments for confirmed swing highs and swing lows using pivot logic. Once swings are established, it checks for classic SMT conditions:
Primary makes a new swing extreme while the comparison symbol forms a non-confirming swing .
To support a wider range of markets, the indicator includes an Inverse Correlation option for pairs that typically move opposite to each other (for example DXY vs EUR/USD). With this enabled, the divergence rules are logically flipped so that the script still detects “non-confirmation” in a way that is consistent with the pair’s relationship.
The indicator is designed to be readable and actionable. It can draw divergence labels directly on the main chart, connect the relevant swing points with lines, show a compact information table with the last signal and settings, and optionally render the comparison symbol as a mini candle chart in the indicator pane for quick visual validation.
🔹 Features
🔸 Two-Symbol SMT Analysis (Primary vs Compare)
Select any comparison symbol to evaluate correlation structure and divergence. The script fetches the comparison OHLC data using the current chart timeframe to keep both series aligned for analysis.
🔸 Inverse Correlation Mode
For inversely correlated pairs, enable “Inverse Correlation” so the script interprets confirmation appropriately (for example, a higher low on the comparison instrument might be expected to correspond to a lower low on the primary, depending on the relationship). This helps avoid false conclusions when the pair naturally moves opposite.
🔸 Pivot-Based Swing with Adjustable Sensitivity
Swings are detected using confirmed pivots (left bars and right bars). This provides cleaner structural swing points compared with raw candle-to-candle comparisons, and it lets you control sensitivity for different market conditions and timeframes. The script also limits stored swing history to keep performance stable.
🔸 Flexible Detection Mode: Time Matched or Independent Swings
You can choose how swings are paired across instruments:
Time Matched searches for a comparison swing that occurred at the same pivot time as the primary swing.
Independent Swings compares each symbol’s own last two swings without requiring an exact time match.
🔸 Range Control and Noise Filtering
To reduce weak or irrelevant signals:
“Max Bars Between Swings” ensures the two swings being compared are close enough in structure to be meaningful.
“Min Price Diff (%)” can require a minimum percentage change between the primary’s last two swing prices to confirm the move is significant.
🔸 Clear Visual Output with Tooltips
When a divergence is detected, the script can print a label (“SMT”) with bullish or bearish styling and a tooltip that includes the symbol pair and the primary swing price for quick context.
🔸 Divergence Lines for Context
Optional lines connect the relevant swing points, making it easier to see the exact structure that triggered the signal. One line can be drawn on the main chart and another in the indicator pane for the comparison series.
🔸 Info Table (At a Glance)
A compact table can display the active symbols, correlation mode, total divergences stored, and the most recent signal type.
🔸 Alerts Included
Built-in alert conditions are provided for bullish SMT, bearish SMT, and any SMT event so you can automate notifications without editing the code.
🔸 Optional Comparison Candle Panel
If enabled, the indicator can plot the comparison symbol as candles in the indicator pane. This is useful for confirming whether the divergence is happening around major levels, consolidations, or impulsive legs on the secondary instrument.
🔹 Calculations
This section summarizes the core logic used by the script.
1. Data Synchronization (Comparison Symbol)
The comparison instrument is requested on the chart’s current timeframe so swing calculations are performed consistently:
=
request.security(compareSymbolInput, timeframe.period, )
This ensures pivots and swing times are derived from the same bar cadence as the primary chart.
2. Swing Detection via Confirmed Pivots
Swings are detected using pivot logic with user-defined left and right bars:
primaryPivotHigh = ta.pivothigh(high, pivotLeftBars, pivotRightBars)
primaryPivotLow = ta.pivotlow(low, pivotLeftBars, pivotRightBars)
Because pivots are confirmed only after the “right bars” have closed, the script stores each swing using an offset so the swing’s bar index and time reflect where the pivot actually occurred, not where it was confirmed.
3. Swing Storage and Retrieval
Both symbols maintain arrays of SwingPoint objects. Each new swing is pushed into the array, and older swings are dropped once the array exceeds the configured maximum. This makes the divergence engine predictable and prevents uncontrolled memory growth.
The script then retrieves the last and previous swing highs and lows (per symbol) to evaluate structure.
4. Matching Logic (Time Matched vs Independent)
When “Time Matched” is selected, the script searches the comparison swing array for a pivot that occurred at the exact same timestamp as the primary swing. When “Independent Swings” is selected, it simply uses the comparison symbol’s last two swings of the same type.
5. Bullish SMT Condition (LL vs HL)
A bullish SMT event is defined as:
Primary forms a lower low (last low < previous low)
Comparison forms a higher low (last low > previous low)
If inverse correlation is enabled, the comparison condition flips to maintain logical confirmation rules
The two primary swings must be within the configured bar distance window
Optional minimum percentage difference must be satisfied
A simple anti duplication rule prevents repeated triggers on the same structure
These checks are implemented directly in the bullish detection block.
6. Bearish SMT Condition (HH vs LH)
A bearish SMT event is defined as:
Primary forms a higher high (last high > previous high)
Comparison forms a lower high (last high < previous high)
Inverse correlation flips the comparison rule
Range checks, minimum difference filtering, and duplicate protection apply similarly
These checks are implemented in the bearish detection block.
7. Percentage Difference Filter
The optional “Min Price Diff (%)” filter measures the relative distance between the last two primary swing prices. This prevents very small structural changes from being treated as valid SMT signals.
priceDiffPerc = math.abs(lastSwing.price - prevSwing.price) / prevSwing.price * 100.0
The divergence condition is only allowed to trigger if this value exceeds the user defined threshold.
priceOk = priceDiffPerc >= minPriceDiff
This filter is especially useful on higher timeframes or during low volatility conditions, where micro structure noise can otherwise produce misleading signals.
8. Visualization and Output
When a divergence is confirmed, the script:
Stores the event in a divergence array (limited by “Max Divergences to Display”)
Draws a directional SMT label with a tooltip (optional)
Draws connecting lines using time based coordinates for clean alignment (optional)
It also updates an information table on the last bar only, and exposes alertconditions for automation workflows.
QT-Cycles-Clear-View(Theory by DAYE)Quarter Theory – Short Summary
each cycle is segmented into four sequential quarters (Q1–Q4).
Each quarter reflects a distinct phase of liquidity, volatility, and participant behavior.
The theory focuses on when price is likely to move, rather than predicting direction.
Implemented Cycles
W.C (Weekly Cycle) – Day-to-day quarters on the 1H chart
D.C (Daily Cycle) – 6-hour quarters on the 15-minute chart
90M Cycle – Quarters within each 90-minute period
Micro Cycle – Short-term quarters within 23-minute cycles

QTheory [SSMT]QTheory –
This indicator is built on Quarterly Theory (developed by Daye)
🔹 Quarterly Theory
Markets often unfold in repeating quarterly cycles (Q1–Q4) across multiple timeframes — yearly, monthly, weekly, daily, 90-minute, and even micro cycles. By dividing price action into these quarters, traders can better anticipate structural shifts, accumulation/distribution phases, and liquidity runs.
🔹 Sequential SMT (SSMT)
Sequential SMT extends standard SMT (Smart Money Technique) by comparing multiple assets (such as FX majors) to identify divergences across quarters.
🔹 Features of QTheory
Automatic detection of quarterly cycles across multiple timeframes.
Visual cycle boxes & customizable dividers.
Integrated SSMT signals with divergence line visualization.
DFR (Defining Range) with Fibonacci levels.
Support for up to 5 comparison assets, with inversion options.
Auto-cycle selection for seamless multi-timeframe adaptation.
Extensive customization for colors, opacity, and signal display.
🔹 How it works
QTheory divides price data into consistent “quarters” across multiple timeframes. Within each cycle, it tracks highs, lows, and divergences, then overlays this information as boxes, dividers, and optional signals on your chart. Traders can use these visual cues to better align entries and exits with institutional market behavior patterns.
🔹 How to use it
Enable the desired cycle type (e.g., weekly, daily, 90-minute) from the settings.
Toggle boxes, dividers, and signals depending on your trading style.
Use SSMT divergences and DFR Fibs to anticipate a reversal
Compare against other assets (e.g., DXY or correlated pairs) to refine confluence.

Intermarket SSMT Table [Pogiest]General
Intermarket Sequential Smart Money Technique (IMSSMT) is a Quarterly Theory concept that identifies divergences (extreme highs/lows) when comparing different market triads to another market triad in two consecutive quarters.
SSMT involves identifying divergences in a correlated asset triad that occurs consecutively from the previous quarter to the current quarter to predict new phases of price, a shift in market sentiment, and also potential trend reversals. An SSMT divergence occurs when one or two assets makes a new high or low, but the other asset or assets does not, signaling a potential shift in market direction. A Hidden SSMT Divergence occurs when one or two assets’ closing price closes higher or lower than the other one or two assets’ closing price. However, with potential gaps in price, an opening price can also be the extreme when comparing assets for divergences. Hidden SSMT divergence compares the candle bodies while a Standard SSMT divergence compares the highs and lows. Both types of SSMTs are considered to be cracks in correlation and can be used to identify potential new phases of price whether it be a reversal, retracement, consolidation, and continuation.

What Makes This Indicator Unique
The indicator table is designed to be used on any symbol the trader is viewing. For example, the indicator is shown on an NQ chart while selecting three symbols in the Forex triad in settings. The indicator will request the separate data from the symbols selected and display the data within the table. The table does not rely on data on the chart being viewed. Instead of switching charts, the table is used to track other market triads for SSMTs (standard & hidden) while viewing other markets simultaneously.
The indicator has the ability to display Standard SSMTs, Hidden SSMTs, or both simultaneously in real-time, tick by tick in the time period selected in a correlated asset triad within the table. Toggle modes for each type of SSMT will run independently (runs when enabled) and therefore, optimizes performance. The user is able to select three different tickers in settings instead of limiting to pairs. In addition, the indicator has “Invert” toggle options to track both Standard and Hidden SSMTs for assets with negative correlations.
How the Indicator Table Works
The indicator functions to track any divergences from the previous quarter to the current quarter. In addition, the indicator tracks the current status even when there are no divergences (see phase column below).
Timeframe Column:
1. Displays up to two different timeframes to monitor.
Asset Columns:
1. Display up to three different assets to monitor.
2. Cells display “Bull” in green background color or “Bear” in red background color showing the current state of each candle and updates in real-time tick by tick.
Phase Column:
Displays the current status from the previous quarter to the current quarter. The status updates in real-time tick by tick.
1. “F/S” indicates there are no current SSMT divergences between the previous quarter to the current quarter and all assets have not swept the previous quarter, a “failure swing”.
2. “HH” is displayed when all assets have swept the previous quarter’s extreme high. (Higher High)
3. “LL” is displayed when all assets have swept the previous quarter’s extreme low. (Lower Low) See screenshot with drawings below.
4. SSMT indicates there is an SSMT from the previous quarter to the current quarter. Red background is a bearish SSMT (divergence at the highs) or green background is a bullish SSMT (divergence at the lows). If the SSMT becomes invalid (i.e. the last asset sweeps the extreme high/low), then the table will update to display either “HH” or “LL” depending on the extreme it swept. See screenshot with drawings below.
5. “Both” indicates there are SSMT divergences at both the extremes highs and lows. If an SSMT on one side gets deleted, then the cell will automatically update to display the SSMT that is still intact. See screenshot with drawings below.
Invert Toggle Option:
When this setting is turned on, the asset column cells will display the inverted color of the live chart to show assets are in-sync. It will track the inverted swing points for SSMTs, higher highs, lower lows, etc. For example, if EUR and GBP are making lower highs, while DXY (Inverted toggle on), makes a lower low on the actual live chart, it will display “SSMT”.
NOTE:
Scanning function per timeframe to detect SSMTs:
Weekly HTF: Scans 4HR bars
Daily HTF: Scans 1HR bars
6HR/4HR HTF: Scans 15m bars
1HR HTF: Scans 5m bars
5m HTF: Scans 1m bars
The script has fixed lookback periods for bars to ensure the appropriate data is being captured. The higher the timeframe the user selects in settings while viewing on an extremely lower timeframe, the indicator may give inaccurate readings:
Recommended Chart Timeframes:
For best performance and accuracy, view your chart on a timeframe close to or lower than the scan timeframe:
Weekly HTF → View on 1H-4H chart
Daily HTF → View on 1H-4H chart
6HR/4HR HTF → View on 5m-15m chart
90M HTF → View on 3m-15m chart
1H HTF → View on 1m-15m chart
The indicator will attempt to scan further back if needed, but extremely low chart timeframes (e.g., 1m) with high HTF (e.g., Weekly) may still have limitations.
In addition, the indicator bases the SSMT off the previous quarter’s time range to the current quarter’s time range. If there are discrepancies in the time ranges (start to end of higher timeframe period selected), the SSMTs may display differently than what is viewed on the chart. For example, indices open at 18:00 est on a new trading day, so the time ranges matches throughout the day. However, in Forex, EUR and GBP opens at 17:00 est while DXY opens later, so the time ranges may be off (i.e. 6 hour timeframe). For best use, select time periods that matches throughout the day.
Usage
Traders can use both types of SSMT divergences to anticipate potential reversals in points of interest such as higher timeframe swing points, supply/demand zones, higher timeframe imbalances, key levels, etc. This indicator can also be beneficial in identifying cracks in correlation via Hidden SSMT when there are no divergences off the highs and lows. Divergences can come in different forms relating to Intermarket SSMT. For example, if one market triad is all making lower lows while the other market triad is making higher highs, this can be deemed a divergence between the two markets. Another example would be one market triad all makes lower lows while another market triad makes a bullish SSMT. This can potentially signal a bullish move up. SSMT divergences (standard and hidden) can be used as a confirmation tool with other confluences to identify trend direction with respect to points of interest, higher timeframe order-flow, lower timeframe order-flow, etc. In addition, having both a Standard SSMT and Hidden SSMT divergence display could potentially signal a reversal. It is up to the trader to gauge the price action at the time.
Settings
1. Choose up to three different assets to monitor.
Note: If only two are selected, the indicator will only display the two selected and compare the two assets for divergences. If one is selected, a warning sign will be displayed to select at least two assets.
2. Choose up to two different timeframes. Option to deselect timeframes.
3. Enable/disable standard or hidden SSMT.
4. Option to enable alerts. Alerts include the different phases in the table (i.e. SSMT, HH, LL, and Dual SSMT [both standard & hidden) for each timeframe.
5. Toggle option to show/hide the table. Toggle option to show/hide the “Title Row” which is the first row at the top of the table.
6. Adjust the table positioning to be displayed on the chart.
7. Option to change text size in the table cells. This will also increase/decrease the size of the table.

SMT (ICT Concepts)Overview
Smart Money Technique (SMT) Divergence is a price action analysis method derived from Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology. This indicator automatically detects SMT divergences by comparing price movements across correlated financial instruments, identifying moments when assets that typically move together begin to diverge - a phenomenon often associated with potential price reversals.
An SMT divergence occurs when one instrument makes a new swing high or low while a correlated instrument fails to confirm that move. This failure to confirm suggests that the instrument may be positioning for a reversal, as the divergence indicates a lack of conviction in the current price direction across related markets.
Theoretical Foundation
What is SMT Divergence?
In correlated markets, instruments tend to move in tandem. For example, the E-mini S&P 500 (ES) and E-mini Nasdaq 100 (NQ) futures typically make swing highs and lows together due to their shared exposure to U.S. equity markets. When this correlation breaks down at key swing points, it creates an SMT divergence.
Bullish SMT Divergence:
The chart instrument creates a lower low compared to a previous swing low, while the correlated comparison instrument creates a higher low (or fails to make a lower low). This divergence at the lows suggests potential buying pressure and a possible bullish reversal.
Bearish SMT Divergence:
The chart instrument creates a higher high compared to a previous swing high, while the correlated comparison instrument creates a lower high (or fails to make a higher high). This divergence at the highs suggests potential selling pressure and a possible bearish reversal.
Why SMT Divergences Matter
SMT divergences are considered significant because they may indicate:
Accumulation or distribution occurring in one instrument but not the other
Relative strength or weakness between correlated assets
Potential exhaustion of the current trend
Early warning signs before major reversals
Indicator Features
Multi-Timeframe SMT Detection
This indicator provides simultaneous SMT detection on two timeframes:
Current Timeframe (CTF) Detection:
The indicator scans for SMT divergences on the chart's active timeframe using multiple pivot lookback periods (3, 5, 8, 13, 21, and 34 bars). This multi-period approach ensures detection of both short-term and intermediate swing points, reducing the likelihood of missing valid divergences while filtering out noise.
Higher Timeframe (HTF) Detection:
Simultaneously, the indicator monitors a higher timeframe for SMT divergences using pivot periods of 3, 5, 8, 13, and 21 HTF candles. Higher timeframe signals generally carry more significance as they represent larger market structure.
Automatic Timeframe Pairing:
When enabled, the indicator automatically selects an appropriate higher timeframe based on your chart's current timeframe:
Sub-1 minute charts pair with 5-minute
1-2 minute charts pair with 15-minute
3-4 minute charts pair with 30-minute
5 minute charts pair with 1-hour
6-9 minute charts pair with 1-hour
15 minute charts pair with 4-hour
16-59 minute charts pair with Daily
1-4 hour charts pair with Weekly
Daily charts pair with Monthly
Combined Signal Detection:
When an SMT divergence is detected on both the current timeframe and higher timeframe at the same price pivots, the indicator combines these into a single enhanced signal. Combined signals display both timeframes in the label and use the higher timeframe styling to emphasize their increased significance.
Automatic Symbol Correlation
The indicator includes comprehensive automatic symbol selection based on the instrument you are viewing. When Auto SMT is enabled, the indicator intelligently selects correlated comparison symbols.

Three-Symbol Comparison
The indicator supports comparison against up to three symbols simultaneously. When multiple comparison symbols show divergence at the same pivot point, all diverging symbols are displayed in the label, providing stronger confluence. For example, if NQ shows divergence with both ES and YM at the same swing high, the label will display "ES1! + YM1!" indicating divergence confirmation from multiple correlated instruments.
Invalidation Logic
SMT divergences are not indefinitely valid. The indicator includes automatic invalidation logic based on price action following the divergence signal.
Invalidation Rules:
Bearish SMT: Invalidates when price trades above the high of the confirmation pivot (right side of the divergence)
Bullish SMT: Invalidates when price trades below the low of the confirmation pivot (right side of the divergence)
The invalidation level is set at the confirmation bar (the second pivot that completes the SMT pattern), not the extreme of both pivots. This approach aligns with the concept that once price exceeds the confirmation point, the divergence setup is no longer valid.
Invalidation Display Options:
Users can choose to show or hide invalidated SMT signals separately for current timeframe and higher timeframe divergences. When shown, invalidated signals can be displayed with different line styles and widths to visually distinguish them from active signals. Separate limits prevent excessive invalidated signals from cluttering the chart (maximum 15 invalidated signals per timeframe type).

Visual Representation
Line Display
SMT divergences are displayed as lines connecting the two pivot points that form the divergence:
For bearish SMT: A line connects the previous swing high to the current (higher) swing high
For bullish SMT: A line connects the previous swing low to the current (lower) swing low
The line color indicates the divergence type (bullish or bearish) and whether it was detected on the current timeframe or higher timeframe.
Label Display
Labels are positioned at the midpoint of the SMT line and display:
The timeframe on which the divergence was detected
The symbol(s) that showed divergence with the chart instrument
When using the "+/-" label style, labels show only "+" for bullish or "-" for bearish divergences, with full information accessible via hover tooltip.
All labels use monospace font formatting for consistent visual appearance.
Combined Signals
When the same divergence is detected on both current and higher timeframes, the signals are combined into a single display using higher timeframe styling. The label shows both timeframes (e.g., "M2 + M15") and all diverging symbols, indicating strong multi-timeframe confluence.
Practical Application Guidelines
Signal Interpretation
SMT divergences should be interpreted within the broader market context. Consider the following when evaluating signals:
Market Structure: SMT divergences occurring at key structural levels (previous highs/lows, order blocks, fair value gaps) tend to be more significant.
Timeframe Confluence: Signals appearing on multiple timeframes simultaneously suggest stronger institutional involvement.
Symbol Confluence: Divergences confirmed by multiple comparison symbols indicate broader market disagreement with the current price direction.
Time of Day: SMT divergences during high-volume trading sessions may carry more weight than those during low-liquidity periods.
Limitations and Considerations
Correlation Variability: Correlations between instruments can strengthen or weaken over time. The automatic symbol selection is based on typical correlations but may not always reflect current market conditions.
Pivot Detection Lag: Pivots are only confirmed after subsequent price action, meaning SMT signals appear with some delay after the actual swing point forms.
False Signals: Not all SMT divergences result in reversals. Use additional confirmation methods and proper risk management.
Data Requirements: The indicator requires sufficient historical data and may not function properly on instruments with limited price history.
Technical Notes

SMT Divergence - Time & Calendar CyclesOverview
This indicator is a tool designed to detect SMT Divergences across multiple market structures.
It operates on a Dual-Layer Logic, which filters, ranks, and renders divergences based on specific, adjustable Time Cycles (e.g., 90-minute, or 30-minute rolling windows) and Calendar Cycles (e.g., Daily, or Weekly structure).
1. Core Concept: Automated SMT Detection
SMT Divergences occur when correlated instruments fail to confirm each other's price action at key structural pivots. For example, if the Nasdaq (NQ) makes a higher high while the S&P 500 (ES) fails to do so, that can be considered a SMT Divergence , this discrepancy in correlation could indicate a potential shift in structural momentum and a weakening of the prevailing trend.
This indicator automates this analysis by comparing the Main Chart against up to three user-defined Comparison Symbols. It supports:
Direct Correlation: Identifies standard divergences between positively correlated assets where one fails to confirm the other's new high or low (e.g., NQ vs. ES).
Inverse Correlation: Accounts for negative correlation to detect failures in symmetry, such as when the Main Chart makes a Higher High but the Inverse Symbol fails to make the expected Lower Low (e.g., EURUSD vs. DXY).
Cross Symbol vs. Symbol: Logic that cross-verifies comparison symbols against each other to find internal market weakness, even if the main chart is currently neutral (e.g., Symbol 1 vs. Symbol 2).
2. How It Works: Technical Architecture
To accurately map market structure, the indicator uses a specific technical method to handle data synchronization and structure storage:
A. Data Synchronization
The tool utilizes 'request.security' targeting the current chart's resolution (native timeframe) to retrieve comparison data of the other symbol. This method enforces strict bar-by-bar alignment between the main symbol and the comparison symbol, preventing the access of future data (lookahead bias) and ensuring historical data integrity.
B. Pivot Arrays
The script identifies significant swing points and stores them in custom arrays. It iterates through these arrays to compare the current price structure against historical structures stored in memory.
The array storage and comparison logic operates in two distinct modes depending on the cycle type:
2.1 Time Cycles (Intraday Analysis)
Targeting specific, adjustable time windows like 90-minute or 30-minute cycles.
Session Bound: These cycles are strictly bound to a user-defined trading session (e.g., 09:30 - 16:00).
Continuous Roll: They repeat continuously throughout the window until the session ends.
Session Reset: At the start of every new session, calculation data resets to ensure signals reflect only the current session, while preserving all historical lines on the chart.
2.2 Calendar Cycles (Macro Analysis)
Targeting Higher Timeframe (HTF) structural analysis (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly).
Persistent Data: Unlike Time Cycles, Calendar Cycles utilize persistent data arrays that survive session resets.
Calculation Mode: "Exchange Session" prevents ghost lines on Futures, while "Input Timezone" enforces strict midnight resets for Crypto/CFDs.
3. The Unified SMT Visualization
The indicator provides a Composite Visualization , unifying micro (Intraday) and macro (Calendar) analysis by simultaneously projecting divergence signals onto a single chart view.
Live vs. Historical Logic:
The Live Feed (Dynamic State): This is the only component where repainting occurs. Signals within the current active cycle are temporary and self-correcting:
Updates: If the price pushes to a new extreme within the open cycle, the SMT line automatically redraws to the new High/Low.
Invalidation: If the Comparison Symbol eventually breaks its structure ("catches up") before the cycle closes, the divergence is no longer valid, and the signal is removed.
Example: In a 90-minute Time Cycle, a signal might form at minute 30. If the Comparison Symbol confirms the move at minute 45, the signal is invalidated. If the divergence holds until minute 90, it becomes permanent.
The Historian (Permanent Record):
Once a cycle closes, the final state is locked. Validated signals are transferred to the historical array and will never change (non-repainting).
4. Key Features & Capabilities
4.1 Multi-Symbol & Correlation
Triple-Check Logic: Capable of comparing the Main Chart against Symbol 1, Symbol 2, and Symbol 3 simultaneously.
Cross-Symbol Check: The script can optionally validate Symbol 1 against Symbol 2 (e.g., checking ES vs. YM) and plot the result on your main chart, providing a broader market view.
4.2 Structural Range Validation
The script includes strict validation logic to ensure high-quality data. It automatically verifies that the detected highs and lows are the true extremes of the cycle range.
Lookback Cycles: Users define the exact number of preceding historical cycles the current structure must be compared against (e.g., comparing against the last 9 cycles), allowing for customization of structural depth.
4.3 Professional Drawing & Chart Management
Visual Collision Detection: The script uses Coordinate Tracking to store the start and end points of every rendered divergence. If a lower timeframe cycle attempts to draw over an existing higher-priority structure, the logic compares their coordinates and suppresses the lower-priority signal to prevent visual clutter.
Data Integrity: The script automatically validates cycle duration to ensure signals do not span across abnormal time gaps or missing data.
Memory Optimization: The script actively manages internal memory to prevent execution limits, allowing for deep backtesting history even on lower timeframes.
4.4 Structural Parameters
Furthest / Nearest Mode: Determines which specific pivot to target when multiple candidates exist within the same search window.
Furthest: Targets the extreme point furthest back in time within the cycle range (captures the widest possible structure).
Nearest: Targets the most recent valid pivot (captures the tightest, most immediate structure).
Anchor Mode: Controls exactly where the divergence line connects:
Structural: Always connects to the Main Chart's pivot High/Low.
Snap to Aggressor: The precision method. The line "snaps" to the exact candle where the structure was broken first, whether on the Main Chart or the Comparison Symbol.
Cycle Boundary Overlap: Controls how the transition candle is handled between time cycles (Overlap On vs. Clean Start).
4.5 Full Customization
Adaptive & Custom Coloring: Labels automatically adjust to background brightness for optimal readability. Includes a manual override for user-defined color preferences.
Visual Control: Fully customizable line styles, widths, and colors for every individual cycle.
5. How To Use This Tool
Configuration: Set your Timezone and Session Start/End times in the settings. This ensures "Time Cycles" align with your specific market.
Select Symbols: Input your comparison symbols (e.g., ES, YM, or inversely DXY). Crucial: Ensure the "Inverse" toggle is checked for negatively correlated assets.
Cycle Selection: Enable the specific cycles relevant to your strategy (e.g., Daily + 90-minutes).
Render History: Scroll the chart back to the beginning of your available price history after loading the indicator or changing timeframes to process maximum historical data.
Interpretation:
Bearish SMT: Price makes a Higher High, but the correlated asset makes a Lower High. This divergence could indicate a potential shift in structural momentum and a weakening of the prevailing uptrend.
Bullish SMT: Price makes a Lower Low, but the correlated asset makes a Higher Low. This divergence could indicate a potential shift in structural momentum and a weakening of the prevailing downtrend.

Smart Money Time by TMUSMT-Integrated Institutional Structure
This solution addresses a critical limitation in retail technical analysis: Fractal Blindness. While standard indicators operate linearly on a single timeframe, this script utilizes a Synchronous Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Architecture combined with SMT (Smart Money Time) logic to overlay higher-order market structure directly onto your execution chart.
It is engineered to align your entry triggers with the dominant institutional trend, effectively filtering out counter-trend noise that often leads to liquidity sweeps.
Core Technology: The "Fractal-Sync" Engine
1. Hierarchical Trend Propagation (MTF Logic) The script performs a real-time request.security analysis of user-selected higher timeframes to determine the "True State" of the market.
The Mechanism: Instead of repainting historical data, the algorithm uses a Step-Locked logic. It projects the confirmed Swing Highs and Lows of the Higher Timeframe (e.g., 4H) onto your Lower Timeframe (e.g., 5m or 15m).
Practical Value: You instantly visualize the "Big Picture" bias without switching tabs, ensuring your local trades are aligned with the global flow.
2. SMT-Grade Pivot Detection Integrating concepts from Smart Money analysis, the indicator identifies Key Swing Points that have a high probability of defense by large operators.
Technique: By calculating volatility-adjusted deviations (ATR) across multiple timeframes, the script distinguishes between a standard "pullback" and a genuine Structure Shift (MSS) or Break of Structure (BOS).
Benefit: It visually separates weak internal structure (inducement) from strong external structure (protected levels).
Technical Specifications & Filters
To satisfy strict stability requirements and provide objective signals, the engine incorporates unique validation methods:
Volatility Normalization: Structure breaks are validated against a dynamic ATR threshold. This ensures that low-volume consolidation does not trigger false structural resets.
Candle-Close Validation Protocol: A level is considered breached only if the candle body closes beyond the pivot. This filters out "Wick Fakeouts" and Stop-Hunts often seen during news events.
Conflict Resolution: When the Lower Timeframe trend contradicts the Higher Timeframe structure, the indicator visualizes this as a "Retracement Phase," advising caution.
Operational Workflow
This tool acts as a Market Context Filter, not a simple signal generator:
Trend Alignment: Use the visual cues to instantly recognize the dominant institutional flow.
Zone Identification: The script automatically plots "Strong Lows" (Invalidation Points) and "Weak Highs" (Targets).
Execution: Seek entries on your timeframe only when the higher timeframe structure (shown by this script) confirms the direction.
Note for Professional Use: This script is designed for precision execution. It minimizes chart clutter by displaying only confirmed structural points, providing a clean, logic-driven workspace for objective decision-making.
SMT [Advanced] by TMUThis is a proprietary technical analysis tool designed to detect SMT (Smart Money Time) Divergences with a specific focus on Time-Cycle Theory and advanced Data Visualization.
Originality & Technical Uniqueness Unlike standard open-source SMT indicators that simply compare Highs/Lows and clutter the chart with overlapping text, this script utilizes a custom-built "Label Registry & Stacking Engine". Standard indicators often fail when multiple divergences occur simultaneously on different timeframes. This script solves this problem using a proprietary deferred rendering algorithm:
Registry System: Instead of drawing signals immediately, the script calculates potential divergences across multiple assets/timeframes and pushes them into a dynamic array (registry).
Dynamic Stacking: A background sorting algorithm processes this stack every bar, groups signals by their timestamp and type, and renders them with calculated offsets. This ensures labels never overlap, providing a clean, professional workspace impossible to achieve with basic plotting functions.
Signal Rotation: It implements a "rotation manager" logic for 90-minute cycles. As price action evolves, the script automatically assesses whether to update an existing divergence line or create a new historical reference, keeping the analysis strictly relevant to the current cycle structure.
How it Works (Methodology) The script performs a relative strength analysis between two correlated assets (e.g., ES vs. YM) using request.security to fetch comparative data.
Pivot Analysis: It identifies structural Pivot Highs and Lows based on a configurable length, filtering out minor internal noise.
Divergence Logic:
Bearish SMT: Validated when the primary asset makes a Higher High while the comparison asset makes a Lower High.
Bullish SMT: Validated when the primary asset makes a Lower Low while the comparison asset makes a Higher Low.
Time-Cycle Isolation: The analysis is confined within strictly defined temporal windows (Daily, Weekly, and custom 90-minute intraday blocks). The script detects cracks in correlation specifically within these isolated sessions rather than looking at infinite history.
Features
Smart Filter: Advanced logic to filter out "Internal" structure and focus only on major external pivot breaches.
Multi-Cycle Dashboard: A real-time table monitoring the SMT status of Monthly, Weekly, Daily, and intraday cycles simultaneously.
Auto-Ticker Selection: Automatically detects the current asset class (Indices/Forex) and selects the appropriate comparison symbol (e.g., selects YM when viewing ES).
Settings
Comparisons: Manual or Auto-ticker selection.
Visuals: Custom colors, line styles, and label positioning modes.
Alerts: Customizable alerts for valid SMT formation on any monitored timeframe.
Aurora Reversal Suite: Liquidity & Inversion ModelConcept & Methodology The Aurora Reversal Suite is not a general-purpose indicator; it is a hard-coded algorithmic implementation of a specific institutional reversal model often referred to as the "2022 Mentorship Model" or "Sweep-to-Inversion" setup.
While many scripts display Liquidity Sweeps or Fair Value Gaps individually, this script solves the problem of "confluence fatigue" by algorithmically enforcing a strict order of operations. It does not alert on every sweep; it alerts only when a specific sequence of price action events occurs in a verified order.
The Algorithmic Logic (How it Works) The core value of this script lies in its conditional filtering logic, which automates the following manual verification process:
Event A: Liquidity Sweep
The script first monitors key institutional levels: Previous Day High/Low, Session High/Low (Asia/London/NY), and dynamic Swing Points.
It detects a "Sweep" event when price breaches a level but fails to close beyond it (or closes back inside within a defined lookback period).
Event B: Displacement & Inversion
Unlike standard FVG indicators, this script searches specifically for Inversion FVGs (iFVG) that form immediately following the sweep event.
The script logic requires that the iFVG be created by the displacement leg that reverses the sweep. This binds the "Entry Signal" directly to the "Liquidity Event."
Event C: Algorithmic Filtering (The "Strict" Mode)
To filter out false positives common in choppy markets, the script applies a multi-layer filter before printing a signal:
Volume Qualification: The signal bar's volume must exceed a user-defined multiple of the N-period average volume (default 1.5x) to confirm institutional participation.
SMT Divergence Filter: The script cross-references a correlated asset (e.g., NQ vs. ES or EU vs. DXY). If enabled, a signal is only valid if the correlated asset failed to make a matching high/low at the moment of the sweep (SMT Divergence).
Bias Alignment: The script calculates directional bias using a waterfall logic (Daily > 4H > 1H). Signals counter to this calculated bias are suppressed in "Strict" mode.
Included Features & Components
Automated Market Structure: Real-time labeling of BOS (Break of Structure) and MSS (Market Structure Shift) based on swing point logic.
Session Killzones: Visual boxes for Asia, London, and NY sessions with auto-extending high/low lines to track session liquidity.
Multi-Timeframe Dashboard: A calculated table displaying the trend state of the Daily, 4H, and 1H timeframes to assist with top-down analysis.
Power of 3 (PO3) Overlay: Visualization of higher-timeframe candle geometry on lower-timeframe charts to identify accumulation/distribution phases.
Why This Mashup is Necessary Attempting to trade this specific reversal model using separate indicators results in chart clutter and conflicting signals. By combining the Sweep detection, iFVG creation, and SMT filtering into a single codebase, we can programmatically eliminate "naked" sweeps that have no displacement, providing a cleaner and more objective view of the market structure.
Settings & Customization
Signal Mode: Choose between "Simple" (Price Action only) or "Strict" (Trend + Volume filtered).
SMT Input: Manually define the correlated asset ticker for divergence checks.
Visuals: Fully customizable colors for Bullish/Bearish scenarios to fit light or dark themes.
Disclaimer This script is a tool for market analysis and does not guarantee future results. It is intended to assist traders in identifying high-probability setups based on historical price action concepts.

Liquidity Sweep & FVG StrategyThis strategy combines higher-timeframe liquidity levels, stop-hunt (sweep) logic, Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and structure-based take-profits into a single execution engine.
It is not a simple mash-up of indicators: every module (HTF levels, sweeps, FVGs, ZigZag, sessions) feeds the same entry/exit logic.
1. Core Idea
The script looks for situations where price:
Sweeps a higher-timeframe high/low (takes liquidity around obvious levels),
Then forms a displacement candle with a gap (FVG) in the opposite direction,
Then uses the edge of that FVG as a limit entry,
And manages exits using unswept structural levels (ZigZag swings or HTF levels) as targets.
The intent is to systematically trade failed breakouts / stop hunts with a defined structure and risk model.
It is a backtesting / study tool, not a signal service.
2. How the Logic Works (Conceptual)
a) Higher-Timeframe Liquidity Engine
Daily, Weekly and Monthly highs/lows are pulled via request.security() and stored as HTF liquidity levels.
Each level is drawn as a line with optional label (1D/1W/1M High/Low).
A level is marked as “swept” once price trades through it; swept levels may be removed or shortened depending on settings.
b) Sweep & Manipulation Filter
A low sweep occurs when the current low trades through a stored HTF low.
A high sweep occurs when the current high trades through a stored HTF high.
If both a high and a low are swept in the same bar, the script flags this as “manipulation” and blocks new entries around that noise.
The script also tracks the sweep wick, bar index and HTF timeframe for later use in SL placement and labels.
c) FVG Detection & Management
FVGs are defined using a 3-candle displacement model:
Bullish FVG: high < low
Bearish FVG: low > high
Only gaps larger than a minimum size (ATR-based if no manual value is set) are kept.
FVGs are stored in arrays as boxes with: top, bottom, mid (CE), direction, and state (filled / reclaimed).
Boxes are auto-extended and visually faded when price is far away, or deleted when filled.
d) Entry Conditions (Sweep + FVG)
For each recent sweep window:
After a low sweep, the script searches for the nearest bullish FVG below price and uses its top edge as a long limit entry.
After a high sweep, it searches for the nearest bearish FVG above price and uses its bottom edge as a short limit entry.
A “knife protection” check blocks trades where price is already trading through the proposed stop.
Only one entry per sweep is allowed; entries are only placed inside the configured NY trading sessions and only if no manipulation flag is active and EOD protection allows it.
e) Stop-Loss Placement (“Tick-Free” SL)
The stop is not placed directly on the HTF level; instead, the script scans a window around the sweep bar to find a local extreme:
Longs: lowest low in a configurable bar window around the sweep.
Shorts: highest high in that window.
This produces a structure-based SL that is generally outside the main sweep wick.
f) Take-Profit Logic (ZigZag + HTF Levels)
A lightweight ZigZag engine tracks swing highs/lows and removes levels that have already been broken.
For intraday timeframes (< 1h), TP candidates come from unswept ZigZag swings above/below the entry.
For higher timeframes (≥ 1h), TP candidates fall back to unswept HTF liquidity levels.
The script picks up to two targets:
TP1: nearest valid target in the trade direction (or a 2R fallback if none exists),
TP2: second target (or a 4R fallback if none exists).
A multi-TP model is used: typically 50% at TP1, remainder managed towards TP2 with breakeven plus offset once TP1 is hit.
g) Session & End-of-Day Filters
Three predefined NY sessions (Early, Open, Afternoon) are available; entries are only allowed inside active sessions.
An End-of-Day filter checks a user-defined NY close time and:
Blocks new entries close to the end of the day,
Optionally forces flat before the close.
3. Inputs Overview (Conceptual)
Liquidity settings: which HTF levels to track (1D/1W/1M), how many to show, and sweep priority (highest TF vs nearest vs any).
FVG settings: visibility radius, search window after a sweep, minimum FVG size.
ZigZag settings: swing length used for TP discovery.
Execution & protection: limit order timeout, breakeven offset, EOD protection.
Visuals: labels, sweep markers, manipulation warning, session highlighting, TP lines, etc.
For exact meaning of each input, please refer to the inline comments in the open-source code.
4. Strategy Properties & Backtesting Notes
Default strategy properties in this script:
Initial capital: 100,000
Order size: 10% of equity (strategy.percent_of_equity)
Commission: 0.01% per trade (adjust as needed for your broker/asset)
Slippage: must be set manually in the Strategy Tester (recommended: at least a few ticks on fast markets).
Even though the order size is 10% of equity, actual risk per trade depends on the SL distance and is typically much lower than 10% of the account. You should still adjust these values to keep risk within what you personally consider sustainable (e.g. somewhere in the 1–2% range per trade).
For more meaningful results:
Test on liquid instruments (e.g. major indices, FX, or liquid futures).
Use enough history to reach 100+ closed trades on your market/timeframe.
Always include realistic commission and slippage.
Do not assume that past performance will continue.
5. How to Use
Apply the strategy to your preferred symbol and timeframe.
Set broker-like commission and slippage in the Strategy Tester.
Adjust:
HTF levels (1D/1W/1M),
Sessions (NY windows),
FVG search window and minimum size,
ZigZag length and EOD filter.
Observe how entries only appear:
After a HTF sweep,
In the configured session,
At a FVG edge,
With TP lines anchored at unswept structure / liquidity.
Use this primarily as a research and backtesting tool to study how your own ICT / SMC ideas behave over a large sample of trades.

QT Previous Micro Cycle Range + SSMT [bilal]Previous Micro Cycle Range + SMTs - Indicator Description
📊 Overview
This indicator tracks 22.5-minute micro cycles within ICT's Quarterly Theory framework and automatically detects Smart Money Technique (SMT) divergences across correlated indices (NQ, ES, YM). It visualizes previous cycle ranges and identifies high-probability manipulation completions for precise intraday entries.
🎯 What It Does
Micro Cycle Tracking:
Divides each 90-minute session into four 22.5-minute micro quarters
Plots the previous micro cycle's High, Low, Equilibrium (EQ), and Quarter levels
Updates automatically as new micro cycles form
Works on any timeframe (recommended: 1-5 minute charts)
SMT Detection:
Compares current micro cycle vs previous micro cycle across NQ, ES, and YM
Detects Bearish SMT: Divergence at highs (signals distribution down)
Detects Bullish SMT: Divergence at lows (signals distribution up)
Draws visual SMT lines with directional arrows showing correlation/divergence
Optional SMT table showing all three indices' movements
💡 How To Use It
For Scalpers & Day Traders:
Wait for a new micro cycle to begin (lines will refresh every 22.5 minutes)
Watch for SMT formation in the current cycle
Bullish SMT = Buy signal (previous low is confirmed, expect move to previous high)
Bearish SMT = Sell signal (previous high is confirmed, expect move to previous low)
Key Concepts:
Minimum Target: Opposite extreme of previous cycle
SMT Confirmation: One or two indices sweep a level while the other(s) fail to sweep
Best Results: Trade with higher timeframe bias aligned

Monitor all three indices (NQ, ES, YM) for complete SMT picture
Micro cycles are part of a fractal structure - align with 90-min and Daily Cycle SMTs
🎓 Based On ICT Concepts
This indicator implements concepts from Inner Circle Trader (ICT):
Quarterly Theory (fractal time structure - 22.5 min micro quarters)
Micro cycles (four quarters within each 90-minute session)
Sequential SMT (mechanical divergence confirmation across correlated indices)
Smart Money AMD (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution pattern)
New York session timing (based on ICT's 6-hour daily cycles)
🕐 Micro Cycle Structure
Each 90-minute session divides into four 22.5-minute micro quarters:
Micro Q1: 00:00 - 22:30
Micro Q2: 22:30 - 45:00
Micro Q3: 45:00 - 67:30
Micro Q4: 67:30 - 90:00
This pattern repeats across all 16 daily 90-minute sessions (Q1.1 through Q4.4).
Perfect for: Scalpers and day traders using ICT's Quarterly Theory and SMT concepts for precise micro-level entries on 30-second charts.
Chart Requirement: 30-second timeframe only.
Note: This is a study indicator. It does not generate automatic buy/sell signals - you must interpret SMT formations based on your trading strategy and higher timeframe bias.
SSMT + HSSMT Detector- Q to Q Analysis- (by FINOR V10.1)📘 Description
This indicator detects Same-Side Market Trend (SSMT) and Hidden Same-Side Market Trend (HSSMT) divergences between three correlated symbols, providing multi-timeframe intermarket structure analysis.
It works entirely in a Q-based framework, allowing precise identification of structural inefficiencies between related markets.
🕒 Session Structure and Logic
The script divides price data into four time scopes:
1️⃣ Daily Session
2️⃣ 6-hour Session
3️⃣ 90-minute Session
4️⃣ 22.5-minute Session
Each of these sessions is split into consecutive Q intervals (quarters).
Within each Q, the algorithm detects local highs and lows for each of the three selected symbols.
⚙️ How It Works
Q Analysis:
For each session type, the algorithm evaluates the price structure of each symbol inside every Q.
It identifies swing highs and lows to map short-term market structure boundaries.
Inter-Q Comparison:
The script compares consecutive Q periods to locate structural asymmetries — situations where correlated symbols fail to move in sync.
These asymmetries often reveal intermarket inefficiencies and potential reversals or continuations.
SSMT Detection:
The SSMT logic checks for divergence in highs and lows between the selected symbols.
For example, if Symbol A makes a higher high but Symbol B does not, an SSMT signal is generated.
HSSMT Detection:
The HSSMT logic performs a similar analysis but based solely on closing prices, detecting hidden divergences that may appear within continuation phases rather than reversals.
🧭 Visualization and Alerts
Each detected event is labeled directly on the chart with visual tags showing whether it is an SSMT or HSSMT event.
Color-coded markers distinguish between highs, lows, and closes depending on the detected structure.
Optional smart alerts instantly notify the trader when a new SSMT or HSSMT signal is found.
💡 Use Cases
Confirm institutional SMT setups across correlated indices or assets.
Detect non-synchronous behavior between correlated pairs for early reversal confirmation.
Identify continuation or exhaustion points in multi-symbol price action.
🧠 Summary
This tool provides an advanced, multi-timeframe method to visualize and quantify intermarket divergences using a Q-segmented framework.
It allows traders to observe both explicit (SSMT) and hidden (HSSMT) inefficiencies between correlated symbols in real time — a capability not available in standard open-source SMT detectors.
RTH Previous Day's Range + SMTs [bilal x shpat]Overview
This advanced indicator is designed specifically for futures and equity traders who focus on Regular Trading Hours (RTH) sessions. It automatically plots the previous RTH session's high and low levels and detects Smart Money Theory (SMT) divergences across multiple correlated or inversely correlated instruments.
Key Features
📊 RTH Range Detection
Automatically identifies and tracks Regular Trading Hours (9:30 AM - 4:14 PM New York time)
Plots horizontal lines at the previous RTH session's high and low
Works seamlessly on all timeframes, including ETH (Extended Trading Hours) charts
Lines dynamically extend and update as new bars form
🔄 Smart Money Theory (SMT) Divergence Detection
Compares up to 3 correlated or inversely correlated assets simultaneously
Detects bullish and bearish SMT divergences automatically
Visual divergence lines connect previous session levels to current intraday highs/lows
Customizable SMT labels showing which instruments are diverging
Option to mark assets as "Correlated" or "Inversely Correlated" for accurate divergence detection
SMT detection occurs only during RTH sessions for cleaner signals
🎨 Fully Customizable Styling
3 Label Styles: Choose between "Full" (RTH Previous Day High), "Short" (RTH PDH), or "Lowercase" (rth previous day high)
Adjustable Label Sizes: Tiny, Small, Normal, or Large
Custom Colors: Separate color controls for lines, labels, bullish SMT, and bearish SMT
Line Extension: Control how many bars ahead lines extend
Line Width: Customize line thickness
📈 SMT Visual Indicators

Color-coded divergence lines (white by default, fully customizable)
Optional SMT labels showing ticker symbols with directional indicators
Optional comparison table displaying current divergence status
⚙️ Comparison Settings
Add up to 2 comparison symbols (e.g., ES1!, YM1!, NQ1!)
Toggle each comparison asset on/off independently
Set correlation type (Correlated or Inversely Correlated) for each asset
Popular comparisons: ES vs NQ, YM vs ES, Equity vs Futures
🧹 Clean Chart Management
Option to delete previous RTH SMTs when new session starts
Automatic cleanup of outdated lines and labels
Transparent label backgrounds for minimal chart clutter
Lines track exact bar where high/low occurred
How It Works
Session Detection: The indicator identifies when RTH begins (9:30 AM ET) and tracks all price action during the session until close (4:14 PM ET)
Level Capture: At the start of each new RTH session, it captures the previous session's high and low and plots them as reference levels
SMT Analysis: During the current RTH session, it continuously compares the current session's high/low with the previous session's high/low across all selected instruments
Divergence Identification: When one instrument makes a higher high while another makes a lower high (or vice versa), an SMT divergence is detected and visualized
Use Cases
Liquidity Analysis: Identify when markets are taking liquidity at different rates
Reversal Signals: SMT divergences often precede significant reversals
Correlation Trading: Monitor when traditionally correlated markets begin to diverge
Key Level Trading: Use previous RTH high/low as support/resistance levels
Multi-Market Analysis: Compare ES, NQ, and YM simultaneously for institutional flow
Best Practices
Most effective on intraday timeframes (1m - 15m charts)
Works on both RTH and ETH chart sessions - meant to be used on a RTH chart
Compare highly correlated instruments (e.g., ES1! vs NQ1!)
Use in combination with volume analysis and market structure
