Smc Trend Heatmap

Smc Trend Heatmap

The Smc Trend Heatmap is a free multi-timeframe bias dashboard for MetaTrader 5. It scans five timeframes simultaneously - M5, M15, M30, H1, and H4 - and shows the current trend direction on each using a three-condition EMA logic. The dashboard updates continuously in a corner panel and provides an overall bias summary across all active timeframes.

The indicator does not draw lines or arrows on the price chart. It operates entirely as a panel and can be placed on any chart regardless of timeframe, since it independently fetches data for all five timeframes internally.

COMPREHENSIVE INSTALLATION & USER GUIDE 

How the bias rules work

For a timeframe to read as bullish, three conditions must all be true at the same time: the fast EMA must be above the slow EMA, the current price must be above the trend EMA, and the fast EMA must be rising compared to its previous value. A bearish reading requires the reverse of all three conditions. Any other state, such as a crossover in progress or price caught between the EMAs, produces a neutral reading. This three-condition approach avoids the false readings that single EMA crossovers produce during sideways markets.

Key settings

What appears on the chart

The dashboard shows one row per active timeframe. Each row displays the timeframe label, the current bias reading (bullish, bearish, or neutral), and a directional symbol. A summary row at the bottom shows the overall bias based on which direction holds the majority of active timeframes. The dashboard background colour adapts to the individual row bias for quick visual identification.
