Specification

1. Market Structure Logic (The Foundation)
The bot must distinguish between trend continuation and trend reversal.
BOS (Break of Structure): Requirement for the bot to identify a "Body Close" (not just a wick) above a previous swing high/low to confirm trend continuation.
CHoCH (Change of Character): The first sign of a trend shift. Define this as the price breaking the last swing low in an uptrend (or high in a downtrend).
HTF Alignment: The bot must check a Higher Time Frame (e.g., H4) for bias before taking a trade on a Lower Time Frame (e.g., M5 or M15).
2. Supply & Demand / Order Blocks (The Entry Zone)
Order Block (OB) Identification: Define an OB as the "last opposite candle" before a strong displacement move.
FVG (Fair Value Gap) Requirement: The bot should only consider an Order Block valid if it is accompanied by an Imbalance/FVG. This proves "Smart Money" strength.
Mitigation Check: The EA must track if an OB has already been "tapped." It should ignore "Mitigated" zones and only trade "Fresh/Unmitigated" ones.
3. Liquidity & Inducement (The "Trap" Detection)
Liquidity Sweeps: The bot should look for price to take out "Equal Highs/Lows" or "Trendline Liquidity" before entering at an Order Block.
Inducement (IDM): Requirement to identify a "fake" breakout that lures retail traders in before the real move happens.
4. Risk & Trade Management (The "Survival" Rules)
Since SMC often involves tight stop losses, your management must be surgical:
Breakeven Trigger: Move SL to Entry once the price reaches 1:1 or 1:2 Risk-to-Reward (RR).
Partial Take Profits: Automatically close 50% of the position at the first liquidity target.
Spread Filter: Since SMC entries (like M1/M5) are precise, the bot must abort the trade if the spread is too high (common in gold or volatile pairs).
The "SMC Checklist" for the Bot
Before the EA opens a trade, it must pass this internal logic check:
| Step | Action | Logic |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| 1 | Check Bias | Is the H4 market structure Bullish or Bearish? |
| 2 | Find Zone | Has a fresh (unmitigated) OB with an FVG been identified? |
| 3 | Check Liquidity | Has price swept a recent high/low (Liquidity Grab)? |
| 4 | Confirm Entry | Has a CHoCH occurred on the Lower Time Frame? |
| 5 | Calculate Risk | Is the Lot Size set to exactly 0.5% or 1% of balance? |
