Market Structure Patterns is an indicator based on smart money concepts that displays SMC/ICT elements that can take your trading decisions to the next level. Take advantage of the alerts, push notifications and email messages to keep informed from when an element is formed on the chart, the price crosses a level and/or enters in a box/zone. Developers can access the values of the elements of the indicator using the global variables what allows the automation of trading decisions based on SMC/ICT strategies.
Thinking on high level of customization, the indicator allows to customaze the color and transparency of the element, display the labels using bubble style, display the sessions/trading windows in the bottom of the chart or over the price chart, has an exclusive algorithm to avoid labels/text overlapping, paints the candlesticks depending on the trend and/or internal and swing trend alignment. This feature can be enabled in the parameter "Color Candles". By default the trend is show as green for bullish trend and red for bearish trend. Among with the trend the candlesticks can be filled or not giving the hability to recognize bullish and bearish candlesticks.

Global Variables:
The access to order blocks and structure breaks values through global variables can be made using the names conventions as follow:
// The timeframe to get the data string timeframe = StringSubstr(EnumToString(_Period), StringLen("PERIOD_")); string prefix = "SMP-"+_Symbol+"("+timeframe+")", for example "SMP-EURUSD(H4)"; // For bullish order blocks (for bearish just replace 'Bullish' by 'Bearish') // Add "Bullish-IOB" for internal nullish order blocks or "Bullish-OB" for swing bullish order blocks; // Add "-Total to get the amount of order blocks on the charts;" int bullish_iob_total = GlobalVariableGet(prefix+"Bullish-IOB-Total") // use for loop to get all the values for(int i=0;i<bullish_iob_total;i++) { // Add "[index]-Top" and/or "[index]-Bot" to get the order blocks values. double iob_top = GlobalVariableGet(prefix+"Bullish-IOB["+(string)i+"]-Top"); double iob_top = GlobalVariableGet(prefix+"Bullish-IOB["+(string)i+"]-Bot"); } // For structure breaks: // Add the pattern name as displayed on the chart. For example, +iCHoCH can be accessed by "SMP-EURUSD(H4)-+iCHoCH" // For Premium/Equilibrium/Discount: // Add the pattern name followed by the desired level. For example, Premium-Top and Premium-Bot can be accessed respectively by "SMP-EURUSD(H4)-Premium-Top" and "SMP-EURUSD(H4)-Premium-Bot"
