Overview
SMC Structure Engine is a Smart Money Concepts (SMC) indicator designed to automatically identify market structure and institutional-style price levels used in SMC analysis.
The indicator detects key structural events such as Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH), highlights supply and demand zones commonly referred to as order blocks, and maps liquidity levels that often act as price targets.
SMC Structure Engine helps traders quickly understand the current market structure without manually drawing levels.
The indicator works on any timeframe and supports Forex, Gold (XAUUSD), Indices and Crypto markets.

How the Indicator Works
The indicator analyzes market swings using pivot detection and identifies structural changes in price action.
When a significant structure break occurs, the indicator marks:
• Break of Structure (BOS)
• Change of Character (CHoCH)
Order blocks are detected using price action patterns, and liquidity levels are calculated from significant highs and lows.
These elements help traders identify:
• Potential reversal zones
• Liquidity targets
• Institutional trading areas
SMC Structure Engine is ideal for traders using:
• Smart Money Concepts (SMC)
• ICT trading strategies
• Price Action trading
• Supply and Demand trading
The indicator works on all instruments including:
• XAUUSD (Gold)
• EURUSD
• GBPUSD
• USDJPY
• Crypto pairs
• Indices
Works on all timeframes.
Popular choices:
• M5 / M15 for scalping
• M15 / H1 for intraday trading
• H1 / H4 for swing trading
Alerts
The indicator can generate alerts for:
• Break of Structure (BOS)
• Change of Character (CHoCH)
• Liquidity sweeps
• New order block creation
Alerts help traders monitor multiple charts efficiently.
1. Attach the indicator to any chart
The indicator works on all symbols and timeframes.
2. Identify market structure
Watch the structure labels:
-
HH / HL → bullish structure
-
LH / LL → bearish structure
These help determine the current market bias.
3. Watch for BOS and CHoCH
-
BOS (Break of Structure) confirms continuation of the current trend.
-
CHoCH (Change of Character) signals a possible trend reversal.
4. Use Demand and Supply zones
The indicator automatically marks institutional Order Blocks:
-
Demand zones → potential buying areas
-
Supply zones → potential selling areas
Price often reacts when revisiting these zones
5. Monitor liquidity levels
Liquidity levels show areas where stop-loss orders accumulate:
-
BSL (Buy-Side Liquidity) - located above equal highs
-
SSL (Sell-Side Liquidity) - located below equal lows
Markets frequently target these levels before reversing.
6. Watch for liquidity sweeps
A Sweep occurs when price briefly breaks a liquidity level before reversing
