SMC Structure Map Order Blocks FVG

SMC Structure Map draws market structure, order blocks, fair value gaps and liquidity sweeps the same way every time: only from closed candles, with fixed rules you can read. What you see on history is exactly what you would have seen live — nothing is redrawn later.

Market structure

• Confirmed swing highs and lows labelled HH / HL / LH / LL (equal highs / lows as EQH / EQL).
• BOS (continuation) and CHoCH (change of character) when a candle closes beyond the active swing level.
• Optional internal structure with its own swing length.

Order blocks and fair value gaps

• Order block: the last opposite candle before a structure break.
• FVG: three-candle gap, with its 50% line and fill percentage.
• States update as price returns: OB tested / invalidated, FVG touched / 50% / filled / gapped. Invalidated zones can be shown in grey.
• By default the zones nearest to price are drawn; the panel tells you how many are not shown.

Liquidity sweeps

• A candle runs beyond a confirmed swing high / low, or the previous day's high / low, and closes back inside.

Multi-timeframe summary on the panel

• Direction of up to 4 higher timeframes (for example H1 · H4 · D1 · W1 on an M15 chart).
• One higher timeframe can also be drawn on the chart (its structure, OB and FVG), using closed higher-timeframe candles only.
• Confluence score 0–100%: six confirmed conditions with fixed, published weights (main structure 25, higher timeframes 20, internal structure 15, discount / premium or OTE 15, inside an OB / FVG 15, recent sweep 10). Hover it to see every point. It is not a win rate and not a trade signal.
• Plain-language notes: structure, where price sits in the range, the nearest zones and a recent sweep — facts only.

Premium, discount and OTE (optional)

• Range from the latest swing high and low, 50% line, and the 61.8–78.6% OTE retracement.

Alerts on candle close

• BOS / CHoCH, first touch of an OB / FVG, and optionally invalidation / fill, sweeps and higher-timeframe breaks.
• Pop-up, sound and MT5 push notifications. No replay of old events after a reload; several charts with the same event alert once; push messages are rate-limited.

For EA developers

• 14 calculation buffers, readable with iCustom + CopyBuffer: 0 direction (−1 / 0 / 1), 1 event (±1 BOS, ±2 CHoCH, ±3 first break), 2 break level, 3 internal event, 4–7 new bullish / bearish OB (low, high), 8–11 new bullish / bearish FVG (low, high), 12–13 sweep levels.
• The first input "Draw on the chart" = false gives a data-only copy that draws nothing: iCustom(_Symbol, _Period, "Market\SMC Structure Map Order Blocks FVG", false) (the Market installs it in Indicators\Market).
• Values are written on the confirming bar and never change afterwards; the current (open) bar is always empty.

Easy to use

• Panel with three presets (Structure / Zones / Full) and one-click toggles; it can be dragged anywhere and remembers its place per chart.
• English and Chinese; follows the terminal language by default.
• Auto colors for dark and light charts; sharp on high-DPI screens.

Good to know

• Confirmation has a delay by design: a swing point needs the set number of candles on its right (5 by default), and a break needs the candle to close. Nothing is shown earlier and nothing is redrawn.
• This is an analysis tool. It does not trade and does not tell you when to buy or sell.
• Works on any symbol and timeframe (forex, gold, indices, crypto CFDs).

Main inputs

• Structure: swing length, internal swing length, bars to analyse, ATR period, equal high / low tolerance.
• Zones: order block lookback, minimum FVG size, zones shown per side, nearest / newest.
• Higher timeframe: on / off and which timeframe.
• Display (first load; then use the panel): preset, inactive zones, language, colors, panel summary, premium / discount range.
• Alerts: master switch, event types, pop-up / sound / push.
