Quant Institutional SMC

Quant Institutional SMC is a Smart Money Concepts visualizer for MetaTrader 5. It reads price action through twelve institutional-style modules and renders the result as a layered chart overlay plus a cockpit dashboard.

The indicator is purely visual. It places no orders. It triggers no trades. It reads price history and surfaces what matters at a glance.

WHAT THE INDICATOR DETECTS:

- Market Structure events (BOS and CHoCH)

- Order Blocks (bullish and bearish, max five per side)

- Fair Value Gaps (three-bar gap detection, ATR-filtered)

- Equal Highs and Equal Lows (liquidity pool clustering)

- Liquidity Sweeps with FRESH / SWEPT / EXPIRED lifecycle

- Premium and Discount zones with equilibrium 50% line

- Optimal Trade Entry bands at 0.618, 0.705, 0.79 retracements

- Inducement patterns (minor pivots before HTF liquidity)

- Breaker Blocks with FORMING / ACTIVE / FAILED states

- Mitigation Blocks (failed Order Blocks, marked with slash)

- Multi-Timeframe Bias (configurable higher timeframe, EMA-based)

- Hour-of-Day opportunity heatmap (24 cells)

WHAT THE DASHBOARD SHOWS:

- Total signals with quality breakdown (Premium, High, Medium, Low)

- Sweeps detected today with directional split

- Active and failed Breaker Block counts

- Average composite signal score

- Hour-of-Day heatmap with three color schemes

- Cockpit theme switcher with six presets

SIGNAL ENGINE:

Each signal is scored from 0 to 100 by combining six confluences: Order Block touch, Fair Value Gap presence, trend alignment, Equal-Highs / Equal-Lows proximity, candle impulsion, and Order Block freshness. The score maps to four quality tiers (Premium, High, Medium, Low) used for alert filtering and visual weighting.

CALCULATION ENGINE:

Pivot detection uses a strict N-bar window (configurable). Order Blocks are extracted from the last opposite-direction candle before each confirmed pivot, with ATR-based dedup tolerance. Fair Value Gaps use a three-bar imbalance test with ATR-filtered noise rejection. Equal Highs and Equal Lows cluster within configurable tolerance (pips, ATR fraction, or price percent).

MULTI-TIMEFRAME BIAS:

The bias on a higher timeframe (default H4) is computed from EMA(20) versus EMA(50) plus the current price location. The result is rendered as a top-left badge with confidence percentage.

THEME AND LAYOUT:

Six theme presets including Midnight Cobalt (the original v1 palette), Void Dark, Aurora Light, Cyberpunk, Minimal, and High Contrast. Three density settings. Four box render styles for zones.

ALERTS:

Four channels (popup, sound, push, email) with cooldown per category and key-based deduplication. Alerts fire on new signals (filtered by minimum quality), liquidity sweeps, structure events, and theme transitions.

CSV LOG:

Optional periodic CSV export of signals and sweeps with timestamp, type, direction, level, score, quality, session, and free-text note.

REQUIREMENTS:

- MetaTrader 5

- Any symbol with a clean intraday history

- Active timeframe between M5 and H4 recommended

A free companion library named ASQ SMC Lite is published in the Code Base under the AlgoSphere Quant profile and provides a simplified subset of the structure and Order Block engine. Visit https://www.mql5.com/en/users/robin2.0 for the full Quant ecosystem.
