Market Structure Event Trend
This indicator identifies and visualizes advanced market structure
concepts (SMC) alongside classic price action analysis. It combines
robust, non-repainting pivot detection with a sophisticated engine
that tracks dual-layer trend states, structural breaks (BOS/CHoCH),
and supply/demand zones (Order Blocks).
Key Features:
1. **Non-Repainting Pivot Detection:**
- Uses a standard lookback method (`left` and `right` bars) to
identify historical pivot points.
- **Note on Confirmation:** Pivots are only confirmed *after*
the `Pivot Right Bars` input has passed. This is essential
for ensuring the signal is non-repainting, but it
introduces an inherent lag.
- Automatically classifies the sequence of pivots according to
Dow Theory: Higher Highs (HH), Higher Lows (HL), Lower Highs (LH),
and Lower Lows (LL).
- **Flexible Pivot Algorithms:** Supports various underlying
mathematical models for pivot detection provided by the
core library
2. **Smart Money Concepts (SMC) Engine:**
- **Dual-Layer Structure:** The engine distinguishes between significant
**Major Structure** (Swing Points) and internal **Minor Structure**
(Sub-Structure). This allows traders to separate the overarching trend
from immediate order flow.
- **Event Detection:** Automatically identifies and visualizes key events:
- **BOS (Break of Structure):** Signals trend continuation when a
validated High/Low is broken in the direction of the trend.
- **CHoCH (Change of Character):** Signals a potential trend reversal
when a significant structural level is breached against the trend.
- **Pivot Classification:** Applies classic labels (HH, HL, LH, LL)
while also detecting Equal Highs (EH) and Equal Lows (EL) based on
a user-defined price tolerance.
3. **Automated Order Blocks:**
- Identifies potential Supply and Demand zones (Order Blocks) formed
at the precise origin of a structural break.
- **Mitigation Tracking:** The indicator monitors price action in real-time
and automatically removes or updates Order Blocks once they have been
mitigated (tested/broken) by the price.
- **Scope Awareness:** Distinguishes between Major Order Blocks (Swing origin)
and Minor Order Blocks (Internal flow origin).
4. **Trend State Visualization & Dynamic S/R:**
- A robust state machine analyzes the sequence of events to determine
the current market trend (Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral) for both
Major and Minor scopes.
- **Dynamic Step-Lines:** Visualizes the trend structure directly on the
chart, creating a "staircase" effect that highlights trailing stop levels.
- **Extended Pivot Lines:** Extends dynamic horizontal lines from confirmed
pivots that act as Support/Resistance and automatically terminate
upon a structural break.
5. **Full Customization & Alerts:**
- **Display Options:** Granular control over the visibility of Events,
Labels, Symbols, and Lines. Supports "Relative" vs "Absolute" price
change display.
- **Visual Styling:** Extensive color customization for Bullish/Bearish
scenarios and Major/Minor hierarchy.
- **Comprehensive Alerts:** Set up precise alerts for:
- New Pivot formations (e.g., "Pivot Higher High").
- Structural Events (e.g., "Major Bullish BOS detected").
- Trend State Changes (e.g., "Major Trend changed to Bullish",
"Minor Trend no longer Bearish").
