Zonecraft Structure

- Versione: 1.0
Clear structure. Clean gaps. No repaint.
Zonecraft Structure is the free edition of Zonecraft SMC Suite. It draws market structure (BOS and CHoCH on swing and internal level) and fair value gaps on your MetaTrader 5 chart and adds a small dashboard with the trend on four timeframes. Everything is calculated from closed candles only and drawn as soft, semi-transparent zones with small labels that do not cover each other.
It is an analysis tool. It does not open trades and it does not give buy or sell signals.
What you see
- Swing structure (strength 10) and internal structure (strength 3) with BOS and CHoCH labels. CHoCH is drawn as a filled label, BOS as an outlined label, internal breaks smaller and dashed.
- Optional swing point labels HH / HL / LH / LL.
- Fair value gaps with a minimum size in points or as a fraction of ATR. Partly filled gaps shrink to the open part and show the filled share, for example "FVG 45%". Filled gaps are removed or kept faded.
- Dashboard: trend of the swing structure on M15, H1, H4 and D1, the last swing and internal break with price and candles ago, the nearest open gap above and below price with the distance in points. Drag it, collapse it, choose 90 to 150 % size. Light or dark colours follow your chart.
How it is defined
Swing point: a candle whose high (low) is higher (lower) than the N candles before it and not exceeded by the N candles after it (N = strength). It is confirmed when those N candles have closed.
BOS / CHoCH: a candle closes beyond the last unbroken swing high or low. In the direction of the current structure it is a Break of Structure, against it a Change of Character. "Wick" can be chosen instead of "close".
Fair value gap: three candles where the third candle's low is above the first candle's high (bullish) or its high is below the first candle's low (bearish), the middle candle closes beyond the first candle and the gap reaches the minimum size.
No repaint
Each closed candle is processed once, in time order. Labels and gaps are never moved to another candle later. Only the state of a gap changes (partly or fully filled) when later candles close. Swing points are confirmed N candles after the swing. The live candle is only used for the distances in the dashboard.
Quick start
Attach it to any chart. The defaults work on forex, metals, indices and crypto from M1 to D1. Fewer gaps: raise the minimum size or lower "Max. open FVGs per side". More structure detail: lower the swing strength.
Pro edition
Zonecraft SMC Suite adds order blocks with fresh / touched / broken state, equal highs and lows, liquidity sweeps, previous day and week levels, premium / discount zones, higher timeframe zones, a 12-symbol scanner with click-to-open and alerts (popup, sound, push, e-mail).
FAQ
Why does a swing label appear a few candles late? A swing is only confirmed when the next N candles have closed. Lower the strength for faster swings.
Does it work in the Strategy Tester? Yes, in visual mode.
Resources: only new closed candles are calculated, 1,000 candles by default. No DLL, no web requests, no files.
Important
An analysis tool, not a signal service. Gaps and structure describe past price movement and do not predict it. No result is promised. Trading leveraged products carries a high risk of loss.
