SMC Pattern Detector
- Indicators
- Version: 1.0
- Activations: 5
SMC Pattern Detector is a technical analysis tool based on Smart Money Concepts (SMC). This indicator automates the identification of market structure, supply/demand zones, and SMC patterns. Built on a No-Repaint architecture, all signals are confirmed on closed bars.
We believe in 100% transparency. Don't just rely on screenshots; watch how the indicator reacts to real-time market conditions. Check out our recorded live streams to see the scalping setups and signals as they happen.

CORE SMC FOUNDATIONS
- BOS / CHoCH Detection: Tracking of Break of Structure and Change of Character to identify trend transitions.
- Order Blocks (OB): Identifies supply and demand zones with mitigation tracking.
- Fair Value Gaps (FVG) & IFVG: Detects liquidity imbalances and their inversions (Inversion FVG).
- Liquidity Mapping: Marks Buy-Side (BSL) and Sell-Side (SSL) liquidity pools (Equal Highs/Lows).
- Breaker Blocks: Visualizes failed Order Blocks that have flipped into support/resistance.
PATTERN LIBRARY
Beyond basic structure, the indicator detects 7+ setups :
- Silver Bullet: Automated detection of the ICT Silver Bullet time windows and FVG retests.
- Judas Swing: Identifies session-open manipulation sweeps.
- Optimal Trade Entry (OTE): Projects Fibonacci-based retracement levels (62% - 79%).
- Power of 3 (PO3): Maps Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution phases.
- Displacement Entry: Detects strong impulsive moves creating simultaneous CHoCH and FVG.
- Wyckoff + SMC Confluence: Detection of Springs and UTADs aligned with SMC zones.
- Breaker & IFVG Taps: Signals the first touch of those levels.
- Sweep Reversals: Signals following liquidity grabs at BSL/SSL.
1. Silver Bullet (Time-Based FVG)
Detects Fair Value Gaps formed during specific UTC session windows.
- Mechanic: Logic searches for FVG formations and subsequent retests during the London (02:00-05:00 UTC) and New York (07:00-08:00 / 10:00-11:00 UTC) windows.
- Configuration: Requires setting the Broker UTC Offset to match your broker's server time (e.g., if your broker is GMT+2, set to 2).
2. Judas Swing (Session Manipulation)
Identifies expansion moves that sweep liquidity at the start of a trading session before reversing.
- Mechanic: Detects a sweep of a previous swing high or low near session opens, followed by a rejection candle closing back inside the structure.
3. Wyckoff + SMC Confluence
A hybrid approach that looks for Wyckoff Phase C (Spring/UTAD) signatures aligned with SMC zones.
- Spring/UTAD: Logic identifies a trading range over a set period. It signals when price sweeps outside the range (Spring/UTAD) and reverses into an unmitigated Order Block or FVG.
- SOS/SOW: Signals "Sign of Strength" or "Sign of Weakness" when price breaks out of the range with a displacement candle and a BOS.
TOOLS
- Dashboard: Real-time display of current Trend Bias, Active Zone counts (OB/FVG/BRK), and a historical log of the most recent confirmed signals with "bars ago" tracking.
- No-Repaint Marker: For every signal, a small "x" is drawn at the Open price of the entry candle (bar+1), providing a reference for analysis.
CONFIGURATION
To ensure time-based patterns (Silver Bullet and Judas Swing) function correctly, configure the Broker UTC Offset parameter.
- Check your broker's server time relative to UTC (GMT+2, GMT+3, etc.).
- Correct configuration allows the indicator to map the London and New York session windows.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS
To assist with the understanding of the indicator, here are the definitions of the terms used:
- SMC (Smart Money Concepts): A methodology that analyzes price action based on supply and demand dynamics.
- BOS (Break of Structure): A price movement that exceeds a previous peak or trough in the direction of the current trend.
- CHoCH (Change of Character): An indication of a potential trend reversal when price breaks a structural level in the opposite direction.
- FVG (Fair Value Gap): A price gap created within a sequence of three candles, where a gap is left between the wick of the first candle and the wick of the third candle.
- IFVG (Inversion Fair Value Gap): A previously identified FVG that has been crossed and may now act as a support or resistance level.
- BSL (Buy-Side Liquidity): Price areas above previous highs.
- SSL (Sell-Side Liquidity): Price areas below previous lows.
- OTE (Optimal Trade Entry): A Fibonacci retracement range between 62% and 79%.
- PO3 (Power of 3): A market cycle with three stages: price moves sideways, makes a fake move, and then expands in the true direction.
- SOS (Sign of Strength): A bullish movement out of a range.
- SOW (Sign of Weakness): A bearish movement out of a range.
- Spring: A temporary price movement below a support level that quickly reverses.
- UTAD (Upthrust After Distribution): A bearish reversal pattern where price moves above a resistance level before falling.
