Smart Money Concepts give you a vocabulary — BOS, CHoCH, order blocks, FVGs, liquidity — but applying it by hand means re-drawing the same structure on every chart, every day. Flat SMC Structure Map draws that map for you on MetaTrader 5, judging everything on closed bars only, so a confirmed drawing never repaints.

What is on the map

  • Structure in two layers: major swings for the main flow and internal swings for the short-term flow, labelled HH / HL / LH / LL. A close break with the trend is a BOS; the first close break against it is a CHoCH.
  • Order blocks: the last opposite candle before a major break, kept only when the break shows real displacement. Zones are mitigated on touch and invalidated on a close through the far side.
  • FVGs: three-bar gaps with an optional CE (50%) line, removed when fully filled.
  • Liquidity: swing highs and lows that line up form EQH / EQL lines. A wick through with a close back inside is recorded as a sweep; a close through ends the line as a break.
  • Premium / discount: the latest major range split into four bands plus the 50% equilibrium — relative position, no Fibonacci ratios.

The dashboard panel gathers both trend layers, the latest event, the range and your position % inside it, and the distance in pips to the nearest order block, FVG and liquidity line. The panel is draggable and remembers its place per symbol and timeframe. Drawn zones have an age limit (400 bars by default) so old zones do not bury the chart, while detection always uses the full lookback.

Confluence signals

The indicator also records a signal when the pieces line up: for a Buy, discount positioning, a recent bullish CHoCH (or a BOS preceded by an internal CHoCH), and a touch of a bullish order block or FVG — the Sell is the mirror image. One signal per event, with a same-direction cooldown. The signals are output through buffers (buffer 0 = Buy, buffer 1 = Sell, 1.0 on the signal bar only), so they can be read at shift 1 by external tools such as Flat Manual Trader (sold separately). Optional alerts cover BOS/CHoCH, sweeps and signals, and are off by default.

It works on any symbol and any timeframe, and it places no orders.

A free demo version runs in the MetaTrader Strategy Tester, so you can check the drawings on your own broker's data before buying. Please test thoroughly on a demo account first.
