All about Smart Money Concepts Strategy: Market struture: internal or swing BOS, CHoCH; Orderblock; Liquity equal; Fair Value Gap with Consequent encroachment, Balanced price range; Level with Previous month, week, day level or in day level (PMH, PWH, PDH, HOD); BuySell Stops Liquidity (BSL, SSL); Liquidity Void Long Wicks; Premium and Discount; Candle pattern ...
"Smart Money Concepts" ( SMC ) is a fairly new yet widely used term amongst price action traders looking to more accurately navigate liquidity & find more optimal points of interest in the market. Trying to determine where institutional market participants have orders placed (buy or sell side liquidity) can be a very reasonable approach to finding more practical entries & exits based on price action. The indicator includes alerts for the presence of swing structures and many other relevant conditions. User can choose notification method include: MT terminal, MT mobile app, Telegram channel.
Update version 4.0 by add more function and perfomace increase.
New version SMC_3 is released with enhanced performance; smart OB scan, add volume of 1st, 2nd candle in OB; Alert when price inside previous OB, swing S/R level or internal S/R level
Dark template here. MT4 version here. Addition intruction here, I recommend new on SMC should read document which I synthetic from many good resource on internet.
*** For customer who already puchased this indicator, I upgrade to version 2.0 because of adding new feature include:
• Add Order block. Setting for display in default is false.
• Add Fair value gap. Setting for display in default is false.
Settings:
//--------Genneral Settings---------
Max bars back for calculate: Bar number should calculate when init indicator. Default is 1000
//--------Internal Structure---------
Internal Break of structure will show as horizontal dotted line from HH (or LL) point to breakout point. There are some config of iBOS as follow:
+Show Internal BOS: Config to show internal BOS (iBOS) or not
+Show Internal BOS text: Config to show text of iBOS or not
+Internal BOS bearish color: Config color of brearish iBOS color
+Internal BOS bullish color: Config color of bullish iBOS color

+Alert when Internal BOS found: Config notificate when iBOS found
Internal Change of character (iCHoCH) will show as horizontal dotted line from HL (or LH) point to breakout point. There are some config of iCHoCH as follow:
+Show Internal CHoCH
+Show Internal CHoCH text
+Internal CHoCH bearish color
+Internal CHoCH bullish color
+Internal CHoCH font size
+Alert when Internal CHoCh found
//--------Swing Structure---------
Swing Break of structure will show as horizontal dotted line from HH (or LL) point to breakout point. Swing mode will longer than Internal mode. It depend on pivot point length (can config at pivot point config section). There are some config of sBOS as follow:
+Show Swing BOS
+Show Swing BOS text
+Swing BOS bearish color
+Swing BOS bullish color
+Swing BOS font size
+Alert when Swing BOS found
Swing Change of character (iCHoCH) will show as horizontal dotted line from HL (or LH) point to breakout point. There are some config of sCHoCH as follow:

+Swing CHoCH bearish color
+Swing CHoCH bullish color
+Swing CHoCH font size
+Alert when Swing CHoCh found
//--------Order block---------
Order block is to composite candle. This indicator support 3 type of OB as follow:
+ Ob should close after BOS, CHoCH (1)
+ Ob should close before BOS, CHoCH (2)
+ Ob should close after Pivot point (3)
+ None above (4)
For (1),(2),(3): The "Distance from pivot BOS, CHoCH to OB" config will determine the maximum distance between OB and confirm condition point
Other config are:
+Show Internal Order block (iOB)
+OB type
+OB buy have to close valley, sell have to close peak: if OB type in (1),(2),(3) and this option = true, valid OB buy have to close to valley, valid OB sell have to close to peak
+Number of iOB to display on chart: limit the number of OBs displayed on the chart
+iOB up color
+iOB down color
+iOB font size
+Alert when Order Blocks appear
+Alert when after price inside ob: when turn on, iOB appear affter price go inside iOB, indicator will notificate.
--------Equal High,Low---------
Equal high or low is 2 close candle have equal high or low. This will display on chart as solid line connect to equal point. There are some config as follow:
+Show EQ or not
+Bar Confirmation Length (min value 1): limit the maximum distance of 2 equal candles
+Equal font size
+Equal high font color
+Equal low font color
+Alert when equal high or low
//--------Fair Value Gap---------
Fair Value Gaps are created within a three-candle sequence and are commonly visualized on the chart as a large candle whose neighboring candles’ upper and lower wicks do not fully overlap the large candle.
The area between neighboring candles’ upper and lower is imbalance area. The indicator will display imbalance area as filled small rectangle close to main candle.
We have a new concept "Balanced price range" - BPR: when FVG created and after that filled, the imbalance area become support or resistance level. This indicator display BPR as rectangle with no fill from imbalance to next 10 bar (config at "Balanced price range length in bar")
Consequent encroachment is when a fair value gap is filled by 50%, this is what is referred to as the mean threshold of fvg. Traders should keep in mind that price might not completely fill the fvg. therefore targeting the mean threshold is ideal not to miss trades.
Some config of FVG are:
+Show Fair value gap
+Color of FairValueGap created due to large buying pressure
+Color of FairValueGap created due to large selling pressure
+Show Consequent encroachment: indicator will show consequent encroachment as small line inside imbalance area at level=50%
+Consequent encroachment line color
+Show Balanced price range
+Max bar BPR should fill gap: max distance imbalance should be filled
+Balanced price range length in bar: BPR rectangle length
+Balanced price range length color
+Alert when Fair Value Gap Detection
+Alert when BPR detection
//--------Swing, internal high, low---------
The swing, internal high or low level should display as rectangle with no fill and extend to right edge of chart. For ease of viewing, the chart should be set to mode "Shift end of chart from right border". Inside the rectangle have some note about time, and price.
The config are:
+Swing Maxbar: this is number of bar from current that find highest or lowest level for swing period.
+Internal Maxbar: this is number of bar from current that find highest or lowest level for internal period.
+Show Previous Highs & Lows
+Alert if Highs & Lows appear
+Alert if price inside Previous Highs & Lows: when turn on, Level appear affter price go inside level, indicator will notificate.
+Swing support color
+Swing resistance color
+Internal support color

//--
+SSL by pivot point
+SSL Equal level threshold
+SSL by pivot point line color
+SSL by pivot point font size
//--------Liquidity Void--------
Liquidity voids occur when price moves sharply in one direction. This is portrayed by large candles that have little trading activity as price moves in one direction. Eventually, the price will return to close the liquidity void later.
Liquidity voids will display as small filled rectangle

+Liquidity Voids color
+Liquidity Void when filled
+Alert when Liquidity Void filled
//--------Long Wicks--------
Long wick candles are type of candlestick that have a long wick attached to the candle body. The candle body can be positive or negative, making the long wick appropriate for any type of candlestick.

+Alert when long wicks found
+Wick/Body rate
+Long wick buy color
+Long wick sell color
+Long wick font size
//--------Premium and Discount--------
Premium and Discount is best used in trading ranges where price is consolidating because this helps us avoid taking low probability trades in the middle of the range where price is likely to take us out as liquidity
Indicator show Premium and Discount as Equilibrium at 50% level of swing or internal range. A small line will display at right border of chart with note.
