Smart Money Gap [Algo Seeker]Introduction – Originality and usefulness
It is important for traders to diversify their strategies, and having a few approaches for different situations is key to increasing their odds of success.
These days, substantial information and important events happen so fast and so often that all the noise created afterward makes people forget the events that were actually worth remembering.
The same can be said about trading and investing. Every day, there seems to be something new happening and new price action unfolding, which can make it difficult for traders to filter out the noise and stay focused on relevant events. But for every problem, a solution can be born.
🟠 Unique Features & Trading Benefits
The SMG aims to be a system that helps traders filter out what it deems to be irrelevant noise and stay focused on what matters most. In addition, SMG provides multiple plans and ways to act on that information.
The reason it’s called “Smart Money Gap” is because this algorithm is designed to identify the most relevant price action—whether it's earnings, an economic calendar event, a stock-specific development, major news, or institutional activity. It determines which of these situations is the most current and relevant, and it keeps the focus on that. This means that day in and day out, traders and investors can rely on a consistent plan and framework that is automatically drawn up for them, helping them trade with confidence that they’re acting on meaningful price levels. When the algorithm identifies a new event as more important, it will switch focus and build a new system around that.
SMG also goes a step further—it understands that different types of traders, such as scalpers, swing traders, or investors, have different time horizons and risk tolerance regarding how long they plan to hold a position and how much space and time they are willing to give a move. With that in mind, SMG provides different trading modes for these personas, selecting events that match the criteria needed for that specific trader.
For instance, a scalper may benefit from a smaller, more recent event that provides quick entry and exit opportunities—whereas an investor might focus on something more significant and long-term. SMG takes this into consideration and builds its entire framework accordingly.
🟠 Description of the Unique SMG (Continued) – How It Works Together as One System
The true power of SMG begins once a relevant event is identified, and the entire system is automatically displayed on the user’s chart. From that single event, SMG generates a structured framework that produces three distinct strategies. Each of these strategies takes inspiration from fundamentals within trading but gives it our own unique twist inside the SMG system. These strategies can be used individually or in combination, depending on the trader’s style and market context.
🟢 1. Filling the Smart Money Gap
One of the key opportunities is to trade the SMG itself—the “gap” created by the specific event. Gap fills are a strategy that traders and investors like to use. SMG continuously tracks how much of this unique gap has been filled, so users are never confused about how much remains. They can reference the shaded region or the percentage-left box for clarity.
🟢 2. Targeting SMG-Based Extensions and Retracements
When the SMG zone is created, the algorithm simultaneously generates extension and retracement levels tied to that event. These levels remain anchored to the original structure, providing consistent, event-driven targets. Unlike the constantly redrawn lines many traders adjust throughout the day, these levels stay fixed and reflect meaningful price action—not noise.
🟢 3. Executing Trades Based on SMG Volume
Because SMGs are tied to meaningful events, they often remain valid for an extended time. This is where Anchored VWAP becomes critical. From the moment the event occurs, SMG begins calculating volume-based data. The longer the event goes unchanged, the more powerful and influential the Anchored VWAP and its deviation bands become—due to the increasing accumulation of volume over time. These volume layers not only help refine entries and exits—they also serve as additional points of confluence where traders can place stops, take profits, or re-enter trades with greater context and confidence.
In conclusion:
SMG is designed to help traders diversify their portfolio of strategies even further. It creates an entire system that filters out noise and builds a strategy around a key event—and it will stay focused on that event until another becomes more relevant. SMG gives traders the ability to react calmly, with a plan that is automatically laid out for them. This is a special algorithm that we’ve incorporated into our approach for over three years, and we hope users will find it to be a valuable aid in their trading journey.
🟠 How to Use
Initial Setup
🟢 1. Select Trading Mode:
Choose from six built-in personas—Scalp 1, Scalp 2, Swing 1, Swing 2, Invest 1, and Invest 2—based on your trading style. Each persona adjusts the SMG logic to fit the risk profile and time horizon of that specific persona.
1. Scalp: For intraday movements (minutes to hours)
• Best used on faster charts (1-minute to 30-minute)
2. Swing: For medium-term positions (days to weeks)
• Best used on 1-hour to daily charts
3. Investor: For longer-term positions (weeks to months)
• Best used on 1-hour to daily charts
🟢 2. Choose SMG Update Behavior: Bar Close vs Live Update:
By default, SMG waits until all conditions are met and the bar closes before updating. This ensures confirmed structure and helps avoid noise or repainting.
If “Update Before Bar Closes?” is selected, the algorithm updates as soon as all conditions are met — even if the bar hasn’t closed yet. This allows earlier updates but may result in elements that repaint if the conditions don’t hold through the close.
Keep this setting unchecked if you prefer confirmed, non-repainting elements.
🟢 3. Visual Customization:
Customize the appearance of SMG zones, extension labels, and volume-derived levels via the “SMG Zone” and “Anchored VWAP” settings groups. This includes:
1. Zone colors and opacity
2. Label positions
3. Retracement display toggle
4. Anchored VWAP and ±1, ±2, ±3 deviation bands
Extra Notes on User Customization:
• Bull Box Color – the color used when SMG retracement is active
• Final Bull Box Color – the color used when SMG retracement is finished
• Same logic applies to Bear Box Color and Final Bear Box Color
• Retracement % Label – If the label is hard to see, it may be overlapping with the Fib labels depending on your chart zoom. To adjust, bring the Retracement % Label Indent closer to 1 to shift it left. Then increase the Fib Label Indent value to move those labels further right.
🟠 Strategic Execution
Strategy Usage Example
🟢 1. Entry & Exit Tactics Within the SMG
Use the shaded Smart Money Gap as a decision-making framework. Traders may choose to:
1. Fade a retracement (shorting or exiting as price retraces into the SMG)
2. Enter on signs of continuation (rejoining the move after a partial retrace)
3. Wait for the gap to fill completely and reverse
Volume-weighted Anchored VWAP levels add an additional layer—helping assess whether price is entering or rejecting volume consensus zones.
🟢 2. Extension Targeting:
When price resumes in the original direction, SMG plots potential extension levels. These can be used to:
1 Set take-profit or stop-loss targets
2. Spot exhaustion areas
3 Evaluate whether to scale in, take partial profits, or re-enter a position
🟢 3. Volume-Based Execution via Anchored VWAP:
For traders looking to incorporate volume into execution—especially when an SMG has remained active for an extended period—Anchored VWAP and its deviation bands can be used to:
1. Confirm direction or momentum via VWAP slope and interaction
2. Enter or fade positions at volume-backed levels
3. Set dynamic entries or exits as volume builds or thins across deviations
⚠️Optional Update Behavior: Bar Close vs Live Update
By default, SMG waits until all conditions are met and the bar closes before updating. This ensures confirmed structure and helps avoid noise or repainting.
If “Update Before Bar Closes?” is selected, the algorithm updates as soon as all conditions are met — even if the bar hasn’t closed yet. This allows earlier updates but may result in elements that repaint if the conditions don’t hold through the close.
Keep this setting unchecked if you prefer confirmed, non-repainting elements.
⚠️ Interpreting Anchored VWAP Behavior
Anchored VWAP and its deviation bands become more relevant with time as they widen and separate. While tight and accumulating near price, it may be worth holding off on using VWAP for entries or exits until expansion begins.
🟠 Additional Description – SMG Table Overview
The SMG table presents four key pieces of information to help traders quickly understand the current setup at a glance:
1) If the Algo is set for dynamic or bar close
2) Which trading mode they currently have selected
3) What type of SMG gap is displayed
4) how much of the Retracement is done
🟠 Additional Benefits:
🟢 1. Risk Profile Options
Trading personas allow users to instantly switch between different risk profiles—Scalp, Swing, or Investor—at the click of a button. This helps traders quickly align the system to their preferred holding period and risk tolerance without reconfiguring inputs.
🟢 2. Time Efficiency
SMG saves traders time by creating a complete system around each Smart Money Gap. From gap logic to retracement tracking, extension targets, and volume levels—everything needed to trade the SMG is generated at once, eliminating the need for manual setup or separate tools.
The Smart Money Gap represents years of development and refinement aimed at creating a unified, event-driven trading system. It was designed to help traders manage through the constant noise of the market, and we hope that traders benefit from having an additional tool to support and diversify their trading strategy.

Smart DCA Strategy (Public)INSPIRATION
While Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) is a popular and stress-free investment approach, I noticed an opportunity for enhancement. Standard DCA involves buying consistently, regardless of market conditions, which can sometimes mean missing out on optimal investment opportunities. This led me to develop the Smart DCA Strategy – a 'set and forget' method like traditional DCA, but with an intelligent twist to boost its effectiveness.
The goal was to build something more profitable than a standard DCA strategy so it was equally important that this indicator could backtest its own results in an A/B test manner against the regular DCA strategy.
WHY IS IT SMART?
The key to this strategy is its dynamic approach: buying aggressively when the market shows signs of being oversold, and sitting on the sidelines when it's not. This approach aims to optimize entry points, enhancing the potential for better returns while maintaining the simplicity and low stress of DCA.
WHAT THIS STRATEGY IS, AND IS NOT
This is an investment style strategy. It is designed to improve upon the common standard DCA investment strategy. It is therefore NOT a day trading strategy. Feel free to experiment with various timeframes, but it was designed to be used on a daily timeframe and that's how I recommend it to be used.
You may also go months without any buy signals during bull markets, but remember that is exactly the point of the strategy - to keep your buying power on the sidelines until the markets have significantly pulled back. You need to be patient and trust in the historical backtesting you have performed.
HOW IT WORKS
The Smart DCA Strategy leverages a creative approach to using Moving Averages to identify the most opportune moments to buy. A trigger occurs when a daily candle, in its entirety including the high wick, closes below the threshold line or box plotted on the chart. The indicator is designed to facilitate both backtesting and live trading.
HOW TO USE
Settings:
The input parameters for tuning have been intentionally simplified in an effort to prevent users falling into the overfitting trap.
The main control is the Buying strictness scale setting. Setting this to a lower value will provide more buying days (less strict) while higher values mean less buying days (more strict). In my testing I've found level 9 to provide good all round results.
Validation days is a setting to prevent triggering entries until the asset has spent a given number of days (candles) in the overbought state. Increasing this makes entries stricter. I've found 0 to give the best results across most assets.
In the backtest settings you can also configure how much to buy for each day an entry triggers. Blind buy size is the amount you would buy every day in a standard DCA strategy. Smart buy size is the amount you would buy each day a Smart DCA entry is triggered.
You can also experiment with backtesting your strategy over different historical datasets by using the Start date and End date settings. The results table will not calculate for any trades outside what you've set in the date range settings.
Backtesting:
When backtesting you should use the results table on the top right to tune and optimise the results of your strategy. As with all backtests, be careful to avoid overfitting the parameters. It's better to have a setup which works well across many currencies and historical periods than a setup which is excellent on one dataset but bad on most others. This gives a much higher probability that it will be effective when you move to live trading.
The results table provides a clear visual representation as to which strategy, standard or smart, is more profitable for the given dataset. You will notice the columns are dynamically coloured red and green. Their colour changes based on which strategy is more profitable in the A/B style backtest - green wins, red loses. The key metrics to focus on are GOA (Gain on Account) and Avg Cost.
Live Trading:
After you've finished backtesting you can proceed with configuring your alerts for live trading.
But first, you need to estimate the amount you should buy on each Smart DCA entry. We can use the Total invested row in the results table to calculate this. Assuming we're looking to trade on
BTCUSD
Decide how much USD you would spend each day to buy BTC if you were using a standard DCA strategy. Lets say that is $5 per day
Enter that USD amount in the Blind buy size settings box
Check the Blind Buy column in the results table. If we set the backtest date range to the last 10 years, we would expect the amount spent on blind buys over 10 years to be $18,250 given $5 each day
Next we need to tweak the value of the Smart buy size parameter in setting to get it as close as we can to the Total Invested amount for Blind Buy
By following this approach it means we will invest roughly the same amount into our Smart DCA strategy as we would have into a standard DCA strategy over any given time period.
After you have calculated the Smart buy size, you can go ahead and set up alerts on Smart DCA buy triggers.
BOT AUTOMATION
In an effort to maintain the 'set and forget' stress-free benefits of a standard DCA strategy, I have set my personal Smart DCA Strategy up to be automated. The bot runs on AWS and I have a fully functional project for the bot on my GitHub account. Just reach out if you would like me to point you towards it. You can also hook this into any other 3rd party trade automation system of your choice using the pre-configured alerts within the indicator.
PLANNED FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
Currently this is purely an accumulation strategy. It does not have any sell signals right now but I have ideas on how I will build upon it to incorporate an algorithm for selling. The strategy should gradually offload profits in bull markets which generates more USD which gives more buying power to rinse and repeat the same process in the next cycle only with a bigger starting capital. Watch this space!
MARKETS
Crypto:
This strategy has been specifically built to work on the crypto markets. It has been developed, backtested and tuned against crypto markets and I personally only run it on crypto markets to accumulate more of the coins I believe in for the long term. In the section below I will provide some backtest results from some of the top crypto assets.
Stocks:
I've found it is generally more profitable than a standard DCA strategy on the majority of stocks, however the results proved to be a lot more impressive on crypto. This is mainly due to the volatility and cycles found in crypto markets. The strategy makes its profits from capitalising on pullbacks in price. Good stocks on the other hand tend to move up and to the right with less significant pullbacks, therefore giving this strategy less opportunity to flourish.
Forex:
As this is an accumulation style investment strategy, I do not recommend that you use it to trade Forex.

Smart Signals Assistant [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
The Smart Signals Assistant is a comprehensive, all-in-one trading toolkit designed to provide a complete analytical framework on your chart. It is built around a primary signal engine that generates trend and reversal signals, enhanced by a suite of five optional "confluence" indicators that provide deeper market context.
This script is highly modular, allowing you to build a personalized dashboard. You can use the main signals for entries, add a machine-learning classifier to check if the market is trending, overlay dynamic support/resistance clouds, and manage your trades with on-chart take-profit and stop-loss levels. The system is tied together with a powerful, multi-step alert builder that lets you create custom alert conditions from any combination of the script's components.
🟠 CONCEPTS
This indicator is a collection of several distinct systems working together. The combination is designed to allow traders to build a complete strategy—from signal generation to confirmation and trade management—within a single tool. Here are the core concepts behind them:
Smart Signals Engine: This is the heart of the indicator and operates as a hybrid with two distinct modes. The "Swing" mode uses a proprietary model that analyzes price stability and volatility to identify stable, longer-term trends. The "Scalping" mode uses a more responsive machine-laerning trend system that dynamically adapts its parameters based on learned market 'states' to real-time changes in market conditions, making it better suited for faster, lower-timeframe movements.
Fair Value Trail (FVT): This is not a simple moving average. It's a volatility-based trail that helps identify dynamic zones of support and resistance. The concept is to track a "fair value" price, derived by analyzing price levels with significant volume activity, providing logical areas for entries or trailing stop-loss adjustments.
Trend Spine: This component calculates a core trend backbone. Its purpose is to cut through short-term noise and provide a clearer, more stable view of the underlying primary trend direction by filtering out price action during periods of low directional momentum.
Trend Bias: This is a band that measures the strength and weakness of the current price momentum. It visualizes whether bullish or bearish pressure is accelerating or decelerating by comparing recent momentum to its historical average, which is useful for confirming the conviction behind a move.
Firmament Clouds: These are dynamic zones plotted on the chart that act as potential areas of support and resistance. Unlike static lines, these clouds expand and contract based on market volatility, providing an adaptive view of key price zones where the market may be overextended.
Trend-Range Classifier (TRC): This is a machine learning model that analyzes multiple market characteristics (like volatility and momentum patterns) in real-time. It classifies the current market environment as either "trending" or "ranging," helping you decide which strategy to apply and filter signals that are inappropriate for the current conditions.
🟠 FEATURES
Trend & Reversal Signals: Configure the main engine to provide either trend-following signals or potential counter-trend reversal signals. Signals are categorized as "Normal" or "Strong" to indicate conviction.
Advanced Candle Coloring: Choose from multiple candle coloring modes, including static trend colors, a color gradient based on momentum, or a gradient based on volume. Also includes an option to highlight ranging markets with gray candles.
Automated Trade Management: Enable on-chart Take-Profit and Stop-Loss levels that are automatically calculated when a signal appears. These are visualized with colored risk/reward zones.
Component Status Table: A customizable on-chart dashboard that shows the live status, direction, and signal duration for every active component, giving you a complete overview at a glance.
Powerful Multi-Step Alert System: Build highly specific, custom alerts. You can combine dozens of built-in conditions from all components using AND/OR logic across a sequence of up to 7 steps.
External Alert Integration: The alert system can incorporate up to five external sources, allowing you to mix conditions from this script with your other favorite indicators.
🟠 USAGE
This script is designed to be adapted to your personal trading style by combining components to build a complete strategy. The synergy between the components is key to its usefulness. Here is a general workflow:
Initial Configuration: Start by enabling the core "Smart Signals" in the settings. Choose your preferred "Smart Signals Mode" (Swing or Scalping) and "Signal Mode" (Trend or Reversal) based on your strategy and timeframe.
Adding Confluence for Reliability: To increase the reliability of signals, enable one or more confluence tools. For example, a trend trader can enable the "Trend-Range Classifier" and decide to only consider signals that appear when the market is classified as "Trending." You could further enhance this by also enabling the "Fair Value Trail" and only taking buy signals that occur near or above the trail. This demonstrates how combining components filters for higher-quality setups.
Reading the Visuals: A standard "▲" or "▼" represents a normal signal, while a "+▲" or "+▼" indicates a strong signal with higher conviction. Use the candle colors to gauge the momentum within the trend.
Managing Trades: If you enable "Take-Profit Levels" and "Stop-Loss Level," the script will automatically plot these on your chart when a signal appears. This can help you pre-plan your risk and potential targets. The exit signals ("x") can be used as a suggestion for taking partial or full profits.
Setting Up Custom Alerts for High-Probability Setups: For a high-probability setup, navigate to the "Alerts" tab. You can create a sequence that combines multiple components to fire only on your ideal conditions. For instance:
Step 1: "Smart Signals Strong Bullish Signal "
Step 2: "Market Is Trending " AND "FVT In Bullish Trend "
This alert would only trigger when a strong buy signal occurs while the TRC confirms a trend and the price is in a favorable position relative to the Fair Value Trail, effectively filtering out lower-quality signals by demanding agreement between multiple, conceptually different components.

Smart Money Concepts (SMC)Introductions:
Before explaining the functions of this indicator to you, we need to talk about what theoretical knowledge we need to have. Many different price approaches have been developed over the decades with different analysis methods and are still evolving. Some theories used in classical trend analysis methods are interpreted or blended with different perspectives over time and we try to make more successful analyses by having a consistent market reading strategy. While analyzing the classical market structure with the price action method, some issues that are missing and do not fit into place are brought to light with a higher level analysis method known as the smart money concept.
As a result of the research and developments we have done on this subject from many different sources for a long time, I personally think that the most efficient and logical concept is the smart money concept. Of course, no matter which method we use, acting within a risk management and remaining strictly loyal to our conditions should be our first priority so that we can talk about sustainable success in the market. In light of all this, we decided to make an indicator of this concept, which we believe is consistent.
In order to analyze the market structure correctly, we must first draw fractal structures and interpret them correctly. Because the market consists of fractal structures. Regardless of the technique, if we cannot draw fractals correctly or if we make an incorrect interpretation while determining them, our market structure analysis may also be incorrect.
Instead of manually identifying fractal structures, script writers often choose the following method for ease of use; They leave the number of candles to the user's choice, detect the highest and lowest points among x number of candles, and draw fractal structures accordingly, but in fact this is not an accurate detection method. In the visual I have prepared below, you can see how the correct fractal structures should be drawn. Fractal structures should be made based on the previous and next candle levels, not from a certain group of candles.
To identify market structures, we make an interpretation based on these fractal movements.
While classic market structure analysis with traditional price action follows a relatively simpler path as shown in the example below, this situation is a bit more detailed in the smart money concepts.
To explain the situation in the smart money concept in an easily understandable way, it is as follows; imagine an uptrend that progresses by creating levels HH and HL, when the price creates a new HL, we call this point as inducement and we move this level up as each new HL is formed. When drawing structures in this way, when the price falls below the inducement level, the peak is confirmed. To explain it with a different approach, the price must first get liquidity from these last rising bottoms in order to make a break of structure (BOS). The break of structure occurs when the price passes the approved peak. When BOS occurs, the lowest point between this point and the previous peak is defined as the Swing Low and this is the level that needs to be protected in uptrend. When BOS occurs, the last HL point that made this BOS is also defined as inducement and it continues to move as new HL is formed until the new peak is confirmed. If the price somehow "closes" below the Swing Low point that needs to be protected, CHOCH (change of character) has occurred and the trend direction has changed. After CHOCH, we start applying the same logic for the downtrend, the last LH peak formed after is defined as inducement and as the fractal structure continues downward, this level is also carried as the inducement level until the Swing Low level is determined. An important note is; In order for BOS and CHOCH to be valid, "a closing must definitely occur". If it remains in the form of a wick, we call it a liquidity sweep and the end point of this wick is updated as the point where we need to look for a closing in order to be able to say that the BOS or CHOCH level is determined. By the way, We call these liquidity sweep points as "x" in the indicator.
It may be easier to explain this topic with a few sample images that I have shared below.
The thing to consider in the smart money concept is that if you are going to take a long trade in an uptrend, you should wait for the price to fall below the inducement level or if you are going to take a short trade in a downtrend, you should wait for the price to rise above the inducement level and only then look for suitable structures, order flows, order blocks, price gaps and other structures before this are considered traps in this concept. I have some strategies that I personally apply, but since these are my personal preferences, I do not find it right to share them here in order not to affect your opinions, but I am basically careful to act as I stated above.
While preparing this script, we paid attention to the fact that it can be interpreted with a real human eye, provides ease at the speed of machine language and can work extremely flawlessly.
From the first moment we started preparing the script, we went through a long and seriously laborious preparation process that lasted months until now, which we happily share.
We brought this code to life by putting on the table almost everything the user may want in terms of both flawlessly fulfilling the conditions specified by the concept and convenience.
If we touch on the function of the code in order, our code finds the following;
It perfectly identifies the fractals that form the basis of the market structure, within the framework of the rules that I mentioned above, we taught to the script.
According to smart money concepts, as I explained in detail above, it provides great convenience in this regard by skillfully identifying the direction of the market in the time period you are in, rather than traditional methods.
In addition to identifying the direction of the market, it also detects the direction changes taking place in the internal structure. Indicator tries to detect even the slightest direction changes by making a stricter interpretation while determining the trend and bottom-top points in the internal structure. Theoretically, it determines the top point in a downward fractal breakout, and marks the bottom point in an upward fractal breakout.
In this context, it also uniquely identifies the candle flow direction and we can observe it on the table. I explained this issue in the first image about fractal determination, you can read that part again.
When you identify swing structures correctly, you will also determine the area you need to focus on, and we have also included this in the script.
Another one of our favorite features on the chart is that it can show active swing areas live by following the BOS, CHOCH and Inducement lines. So, I believe that this gives it a more professional appearance.
In the light of all these functions, it provides great ease of use while presenting data on the direction of the market in a table not only in the current time frame but also in 6 different time frames that the user can choose according to his/her preference, including seconds timeframes (1 sec., 5 sec., 15 sec., 30 sec. etc.)
In order to speed up the user, it instantly informs the selected parity and all structural changes (Bos, Choch, Inducement, Liquidity Sweeps etc.) that occur on the market structure of this timeframe by setting a single alarm.
In the settings window, you will find the following settings that we have personalized for you:
Main Options;
Fractal Lines box: You can check this box to see whether the fractals that form the basic interpretation structure of the indicator are visible or not.
Swing Lines box: You can use this box to turn on or off the Bos, Choch, Inducement and Liquidity Sweeps lines, which are the main elements of the market structure.

In addition to these, you will also be able to choose the background color of the table and the color of the text used to express the directions in the table.
We hope that this script will reach a wide audience by becoming a tool that will be used with pleasure and indispensable, while providing convenience to all users, as we have dreamed of and expected from the first moment we started writing it.

HOW IT WORKS
The Smart DCA Strategy leverages a creative approach to using Moving Averages to identify the most opportune moments to buy. A trigger occurs when a daily candle, in its entirety including the high wick, closes below the threshold line or box plotted on the chart. The indicator is designed to facilitate both backtesting and live trading.
HOW TO USE
Settings:
The input parameters for tuning have been intentionally simplified in an effort to prevent users falling into the overfitting trap.
The main control is the Buying strictness scale setting. Setting this to a lower value will provide more buying days (less strict) while higher values mean less buying days (more strict). In my testing I've found level 9 to provide good all round results.
Validation days is a setting to prevent triggering entries until the asset has spent a given number of days (candles) in the overbought state. Increasing this makes entries stricter. I've found 0 to give the best results across most assets.
In the backtest settings you can also configure how much to buy for each day an entry triggers. Blind buy size is the amount you would buy every day in a standard DCA strategy. Smart buy size is the amount you would buy each day a Smart DCA entry is triggered.
You can also experiment with backtesting your strategy over different historical datasets by using the Start date and End date settings. The results table will not calculate for any trades outside what you've set in the date range settings.
Backtesting:
When backtesting you should use the results table on the top right to tune and optimise the results of your strategy. As with all backtests, be careful to avoid overfitting the parameters. It's better to have a setup which works well across many currencies and historical periods than a setup which is excellent on one dataset but bad on most others. This gives a much higher probability that it will be effective when you move to live trading.
The results table provides a clear visual representation as to which strategy, standard or smart, is more profitable for the given dataset. You will notice the columns are dynamically coloured red and green. Their colour changes based on which strategy is more profitable in the A/B style backtest - green wins, red loses. The key metrics to focus on are GOA (Gain on Account) and Avg Cost .
Live Trading:
After you've finished backtesting you can proceed with configuring your alerts for live trading.
But first, you need to estimate the amount you should buy on each Smart DCA entry. We can use the Total invested row in the results table to calculate this. Assuming we're looking to trade on BITSTAMP:BTCUSD
Decide how much USD you would spend each day to buy BTC if you were using a standard DCA strategy. Lets say that is $5 per day
Enter that USD amount in the Blind buy size settings box
Check the Blind Buy column in the results table. If we set the backtest date range to the last 10 years, we would expect the amount spent on blind buys over 10 years to be $18,250 given $5 each day
Next we need to tweak the value of the Smart buy size parameter in setting to get it as close as we can to the Total Invested amount for Blind Buy
By following this approach it means we will invest roughly the same amount into our Smart DCA strategy as we would have into a standard DCA strategy over any given time period.
After you have calculated the Smart buy size , you can go ahead and set up alerts on Smart DCA buy triggers.
BOT AUTOMATION
In an effort to maintain the 'set and forget' stress-free benefits of a standard DCA strategy, I have set my personal Smart DCA Strategy up to be automated. The bot runs on AWS and I have a fully functional project for the bot on my GitHub account. Just reach out if you would like me to point you towards it. You can also hook this into any other 3rd party trade automation system of your choice using the pre-configured alerts within the indicator.
PLANNED FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
Currently this is purely an accumulation strategy. It does not have any sell signals right now but I have ideas on how I will build upon it to incorporate an algorithm for selling. The strategy should gradually offload profits in bull markets which generates more USD which gives more buying power to rinse and repeat the same process in the next cycle only with a bigger starting capital. Watch this space!
MARKETS
Crypto:
This strategy has been specifically built to work on the crypto markets. It has been developed, backtested and tuned against crypto markets and I personally only run it on crypto markets to accumulate more of the coins I believe in for the long term. In the section below I will provide some backtest results from some of the top crypto assets.
Stocks:
I've found it is generally more profitable than a standard DCA strategy on the majority of stocks, however the results proved to be a lot more impressive on crypto. This is mainly due to the volatility and cycles found in crypto markets. The strategy makes its profits from capitalising on pullbacks in price. Good stocks on the other hand tend to move up and to the right with less significant pullbacks, therefore giving this strategy less opportunity to flourish.
Forex:
As this is an accumulation style investment strategy, I do not recommend that you use it to trade Forex.
STRATEGY IN ACTION
Here you see the indicator running on the BITSTAMP:BTCUSD pair. You can read the indicator as follows:
Vertical green bands on historical candles represents where buy signals triggered in the past
Table on the top right represents the results of the A/B backtest against a standard DCA strategy
Green Smart Buy column shows that Smart DCA was more profitable than standard DCA on this backtest. That is shown by the percentage GOA (Gain on Account) and the Avg Cost
Smart Buy Zone label marks the threshold which the entire candle must be below to trigger a buy signal (line can be changed to a box under plotting settings)
Green color of Smart Buy Zone label represents that the open candle is still valid for a buy signal. A signal will only be generated if the candle closes while this label is still green
Below is the same BITSTAMP:BTCUSD chart a couple of days later. Notice how the threshold has been broken and the Smart Buy Zone label has turned from green to red. No buy signal can be triggered for this day - even if the candle retraced and closed below the threshold before daily candle close.
Notice how the green vertical bands tend to be present after significant pullbacks in price. This is the reason the strategy works! Below is the same BITSTAMP:BTCUSD chart, but this time zoomed out to present a clearer picture of the times it would invest vs times it would sit out of the market. You will notice it invests heavily in bear markets and significant pullbacks, and does not buy anything during bull markets.
Finally, to visually demonstrate the indicator on an asset other than BTC, here is an example on CRYPTO:ETHUSD . In this case the current daily high has not touched the threshold so it is still possible for this to be a valid buy trigger on daily candle close. The vertical green band will not print until the buy trigger is confirmed.
BACKTEST RESULTS
Now for some backtest results to demonstrate the improved performance over a standard DCA strategy using all non-stablecoin assets in the top 30 cryptos by marketcap.
I've used the TradingView ticker (exchange name denoted as CRYPTO in the symbol search) for every symbol tested with the exception of BTCUSD because there was some dodgy data at the beginning of the TradingView BTCUSD chart which overinflated the effectiveness of the Smart DCA strategy on that ticker. For BTCUSD I've used the BITSTAMP exchange data. The symbol links below will take you to the correct chart and exchange used for the test.
I'm using the GOA (Gain on Account) values to present how each strategy performed.
The value on the left side is the standard DCA result and the right is the Smart DCA result.
✅ means Smart DCA strategy outperformed the standard DCA strategy
❌ means standard DCA strategy outperformed the Smart DCA strategy
To avoid overfitting, and to prove that this strategy does not suffer from overfitting, I've used the exact same input parameters for every symbol tested below. The settings used in these backtests are:
Buying strictness scale: 9
Validation days: 0
You can absolutely tweak the values per symbol to further improve the results of each, however I think using identical settings on every pair tested demonstrates a higher likelihood that the results will be similar in the live markets.
I'm presenting results for two time periods:
First price data available for trading pair -> closing candle on Friday 26th Jan 2024 (ALL TIME)
Opening candle on Sunday 1st Jan 2023 -> closing candle on Friday 26th Jan 2024 (JAN 2023 -> JAN 2024)

Smart Trend EnvelopeThe "Smart Trend Envelope" indicator is a powerful tool that combines the "Nadaraya-Watson Envelope " indicator by LuxAlgo and the "Strongest Trendline" indicator by Julien_Eche.
This indicator provides valuable insights into price trends and projection confidence levels in financial markets. However, it's important to note that the indicator may repaint, meaning that the displayed results can change after the fact.
The "Strongest Trendline" indicator by Julien_Eche focuses on identifying the strongest trendlines using logarithmic transformations of price data. It calculates the slope, average, and intercept of each trendline over user-defined lengths. The indicator also provides standard deviation, Pearson's R correlation coefficient, and upper/lower deviation values to assess the strength and reliability of the trendlines.
In addition, the "Nadaraya-Watson Envelope " indicator developed by LuxAlgo utilizes the Nadaraya-Watson kernel regression technique. It applies a kernel function to smooth the price data and estimate future price movements. The indicator allows adjustment of the bandwidth parameter and multiplier to control the width of the envelope lines around the smoothed line.
Combining these two indicators, the "Smart Trend Envelope" indicator offers traders and investors a comprehensive analysis of price trends and projection confidence levels. It automatically selects the strongest trendline length based on the highest Pearson's R correlation coefficient. Traders can observe the trendlines on the price chart, along with upper and lower envelope lines generated by the Nadaraya-Watson smoothing technique.
The "Smart Trend Envelope" indicator has several qualities that make it a valuable tool for technical analysis:
1. Automatic Length Selection: The indicator dynamically selects the optimal trendline length based on the highest Pearson's R correlation coefficient, ensuring accurate trend analysis.
2. Projection Confidence Level: The indicator provides a projection confidence level ranging from "Ultra Weak" to "Ultra Strong." This allows traders to assess the reliability of the projected trend and make informed trading decisions.
3. Color-Coded Visualization: The indicator uses color schemes, such as teal and red, to highlight the direction of the trend and the corresponding envelope lines. This visual representation makes it easier to interpret the market trends at a glance.
4. Customizable Settings: Traders can adjust parameters such as bandwidth, multiplier, line color, and line width to tailor the indicator to their specific trading strategies and preferences.
The "Smart Trend Envelope" indicator has been specifically designed and coded to be used in logarithmic scale. It takes advantage of the logarithmic scale's ability to represent exponential price movements accurately. Therefore, it is highly recommended to use this indicator with the chart set to logarithmic scale for optimal performance and reliable trend analysis, especially on higher timeframes.
It's important to remember that the "Smart Trend Envelope" indicator may repaint, meaning that the displayed results can change after the fact. Traders should use this indicator as a tool for generating trade ideas and confirmation, rather than relying solely on its historical values. Combining the indicator with other technical analysis tools and considering fundamental factors can lead to more robust trading strategies.
Smart Money Concepts(v0.01) - SoldiSmart Money Concepts
We are very pleased to be releasing our latest addition to the Soldi tools, called Smart Money Concepts. What this indicator was built to be is a guideline and tool to help a trader develop the mental mind state of a Smart Money Trader. Picking up on the digital footprints that they might have missed! This is our first iteration of this tool but we have so so much more coming to bring to this tool! So much that we might need to release 2 scripts to be able to efficiently fit it all in. As always Soldi/MMCFX always try to raise the bar on what is possible with PineScript and what advanced concepts we can bring to the retail market with ease, this project was insanely fun trying to get together and we spent a lot of months talking with and doing sessions with very well versed traders who only specialize and solely trade live with Smart Money/ICT Concepts. After many months of talking with and working with these traders we believe we have put together a very unique tool that any SMC trader would love to have in their tool belt.
What is Smart Money Concepts?
Smart Money Concepts (SMC) is the practice of trying to track the digital footprints left by Market Makers and large money traders like Institutional bodies and brokers. I believe this concept was originally developed by Inner Circle Trading (ICT), who has some great great content for free on YouTube. To my knowledge he was the father of the concepts being taken mainstream to retail individuals. Since then, there has been many other who have released content on these theories. For the sake of congruency we have only developed these tools based off the knowledge and practices taught by ICT.
What is Included within this tool?
What is currently Included with this tool are the following.
Market Structure - This includes Break of Structures (BOS) and Change of Characters (CHoCH), It was really important for us to define the different shifts that SMC traders track and follow so we built a unique customizable system that allows the traders to track these Market Structure shifts in real-time. Part of this module includes the option to plot the High/Low labels, by putting this settings on you will mark out the swing points as their respective Higher High(HH), High Low(HL), Lower Low(LL) and Lower High(LH) . This feature is a great way to help familiarize yourself with spotting these instances, there is a slight lag due to the nature of the calculations for tracking the Swing Points. By default we track 4 left bars and 4 right bars, on the 5th bar if the swing point returns true you will see the label plot itself. If you have a higher bar count you will need to wait till x+1 to see the label be plotted. eg. 7 bar count on the left and right, you will need to wait till the 8th bar to see the label be plotted.
By changing the bar counts you also change how the Market Structure module picks up the Market shifts (BOS/CHoCH)
4 bar left, 4 bar right example:
7 bar left, 7 bar right example:
Liquidity Sweep - This part of the Market Structure module is still being worked on and built out, this feature is meant to help a trader identify potential liquidity sweeps that have taken place past or present by switching the bar color to the user defined color (default yellow). There are many different types of liquidity sweeps that can take place and we are still working on the different profiles of these! More profiles will be added to the the updates in the future to help identify these potential trade areas
Liquidity Sweep example:
Trend Bars - This part of the Market Structure module helps traders identify structure trends based on the breaks of existing structure. Again this will shift as you play with the bar count settings, low bar count will identify faster swing points and shifts where as higher bar counts will identify longer term structures. By having this setting on it will change the bar colors to Red(Bearish) or Blue(Bullish) by default, we recommend to change your candles border settings to make this more visible.
7 bar left, 7 bar right. With High Low Labels and Trend Bars
Fair Value Gaps - This module will track the Fair Value Gaps and Imbalances that will take place in real-time. Once the final candle closes it will plot the FVG. Unlike other FVG indicators on TradingView we hold and store ALL the FVG's that take place, other indicators will only hold on to x amount of the FVG's and as new ones enter the list the old ones get bumped out. We didn't like this idea, so what we did was instead store all of the FVG's but create a threshold to where they would be plotted, eg. if you set the threshold to 4% it will only show you the FVG's within a 4% range from the current price. This way you still have access to all the data with out compromising but it helps you focus on the current data at hand.
Fair Value Gap/Imbalance - 3% threshold example
Fair Value Gap/Imbalance - 8% threshold example
Order Blocks - This was an especially interesting module to build, just like the FVG's we found that a lot if not all the authors on TradingView haven't actually been coming close to tracking and plotting true ICT style Order blocks. We set out to change that though, again through a unique approach we have built this Order Block indicator. To also comment on the other scripts out there that claim to track Order Blocks, not a SINGLE script mentions anything about Validated Order Blocks , which was especially important to all the SMC traders I have talked to and had help from building this indicator. Just like the FVG piece this also has a 'threshold' plot, but not only that it gives you the option to look at "No Validation" and "Validated" Order Blocks. With soon another style of Validation to choose from. If you choose the "Validated" option the script will actively seek Order Blocks that have a POI/liquidity sitting above it. I also want to make it clear that based on your bar count settings the order blocks will differ, as they are also based from structure breaks!
Order Blocks with "No Validation" example
Order Blocks with "Validation" example
Advanced Session Tracking - We always seek to out do what has been done and what we have already done, that being said we built our Advanced Session Tracking module to follow each user define Session's Open, High, Low, Close, Liquidity threshold and extend that into the next session . As per our last KillZone indicator we also included the Forward Plotting feature which will plot the defined sessions 24 hours in advance vs only showing you real time. Many if not all Session tracking tools on TradingView only show you real-time and in the past when the define sessions are but we find that to be a very silly practice because as SMC traders you know how important it is the relation between time and price. Instead of reacting to the sessions you and prepare for the sessions ahead of time anticipating when price might react to time.
note: There is a small bug with tracking the crypto based sessions, this is working to be fixed for the next update, check the release notes to see when the fix occurs
Session Background plots with forward plotting example
Session Backgrounds with High/Lows and Liquidity range example
What is to come with the updates?
We are always looking to improve anything, even if it is just a fraction better. That is why we are continuing to work with our SMC traders to refine the concepts, profiles, coding as well as the logic behind the calculations.
Here is a list of what we are planning and working on to be released in the updates to come!
Intra-Day Profiling - Each day has a profile, what we want to achieve is to track and predict these profiles
Liquidity Scanner - There are different types of liquidity that form and we want to be able to find and track these
Smart Trend Alerts - We want to combine quant methods into SMC to provide high probability trade ideas
User Suggestions - We are always open to work with the community to bring features they want
If it's not Soldi, it isn't money
Smart Money Index (SMI) Strategy Attention:
If you would to use this indicator on the ES, you should have intraday data 60min in your account.
Smart money index (SMI) or smart money flow index is a technical analysis indicator demonstrating investors sentiment.
The index was invented and popularized by money manager Don Hays. The indicator is based on intra-day price patterns.
The main idea is that the majority of traders (emotional, news-driven) overreact at the beginning of the trading day
because of the overnight news and economic data. There is also a lot of buying on market orders and short covering at the opening.
Smart, experienced investors start trading closer to the end of the day having the opportunity to evaluate market performance.
Therefore, the basic strategy is to bet against the morning price trend and bet with the evening price trend. The SMI may be calculated
for many markets and market indices (S&P 500, DJIA, etc.)
The SMI sends no clear signal whether the market is bullish or bearish. There are also no fixed absolute or relative readings signaling
about the trend. Traders need to look at the SMI dynamics relative to that of the market. If, for example, SMI rises sharply when the
market falls, this fact would mean that smart money is buying, and the market is to revert to an uptrend soon. The opposite situation
is also true. A rapidly falling SMI during a bullish market means that smart money is selling and that market is to revert to a downtrend
soon. The SMI is, therefore, a trend-based indicator.
Some analysts use the smart money index to claim that precious metals such as gold will continually maintain value in the future.

Smart WhaleOverview The Smart Whale Breakout System is a pure momentum strategy designed for Swing Traders who want to capture high-probability breakouts while managing risk with a mechanical trailing stop.
Unlike indicators that try to guess "bottoms," this system follows the "Smart Money" approach: buying strength when institutional volume enters, and riding the trend until the momentum breaks.
How it Works
1. The Entry (The Hunter) The system identifies a valid BREAKOUT signal only when four specific conditions align:
Trend Filter: Price must be above the 150 SMA. We only trade with the long-term trend.
Momentum: RSI > 50. Ensuring bulls are in control.
Volume Spike (Whale Activity): Current volume must be significantly higher than the average (Default: 1.5x). This filters out weak retail moves.
Price Action: A bullish candle closing higher than it opened.
2. The Exit (The Manager) Once in a trade, the system activates a dynamic Trailing Stop line. You never have to guess when to sell. You can choose between two exit logic modes in the settings:
ATR Trailing (Default): Adapts to volatility. The stop moves up based on a multiple of the Average True Range (ATR). Great for volatile stocks (e.g., TSLA, NVDA).
Percent Trailing: A fixed percentage drop from the highest high. (e.g., "Sell if price drops 10% from peak").
3. The Context (Optional Filter)
Squeeze Filter: Includes a built-in Bollinger/Keltner squeeze detection. If enabled in settings, the system will only signal a buy if the price recently broke out of a consolidation (squeeze). Default is OFF to catch all momentum moves.
Key Features
NO Repainting: Signals are confirmed at candle close.
Visual Risk Management: A Red Trailing Stop line clearly shows where your invalidation point is.
Fully Customizable: Adjust the Volume multiplier, ATR sensitivity, or Percentage drop to fit your asset class (Crypto/Stocks/Forex).
Clean Visuals: Only colors the Breakout and Sell candles to keep your chart clean.
Settings Guide
Trend SMA Length: Define the long-term trend baseline (Default: 150).
Volume Spike (xAvg): How much volume is needed to trigger a buy? (1.5 = 150% of average).
Exit Method: Choose between "ATR Trailing" or "Percent Trailing".
ATR Multiplier: Tighter stop (2.0) vs Looser stop (3.0).
Require Squeeze?: Check this to filter for breakouts that only happen after a consolidation period.
Disclaimer This tool is for educational purposes only. Always use proper risk management.
Smart Money Time by TMUSMT-Integrated Institutional Structure
This solution addresses a critical limitation in retail technical analysis: Fractal Blindness. While standard indicators operate linearly on a single timeframe, this script utilizes a Synchronous Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Architecture combined with SMT (Smart Money Time) logic to overlay higher-order market structure directly onto your execution chart.
It is engineered to align your entry triggers with the dominant institutional trend, effectively filtering out counter-trend noise that often leads to liquidity sweeps.
Core Technology: The "Fractal-Sync" Engine
1. Hierarchical Trend Propagation (MTF Logic) The script performs a real-time request.security analysis of user-selected higher timeframes to determine the "True State" of the market.
The Mechanism: Instead of repainting historical data, the algorithm uses a Step-Locked logic. It projects the confirmed Swing Highs and Lows of the Higher Timeframe (e.g., 4H) onto your Lower Timeframe (e.g., 5m or 15m).
Practical Value: You instantly visualize the "Big Picture" bias without switching tabs, ensuring your local trades are aligned with the global flow.
2. SMT-Grade Pivot Detection Integrating concepts from Smart Money analysis, the indicator identifies Key Swing Points that have a high probability of defense by large operators.
Technique: By calculating volatility-adjusted deviations (ATR) across multiple timeframes, the script distinguishes between a standard "pullback" and a genuine Structure Shift (MSS) or Break of Structure (BOS).
Benefit: It visually separates weak internal structure (inducement) from strong external structure (protected levels).
Technical Specifications & Filters
To satisfy strict stability requirements and provide objective signals, the engine incorporates unique validation methods:
Volatility Normalization: Structure breaks are validated against a dynamic ATR threshold. This ensures that low-volume consolidation does not trigger false structural resets.
Candle-Close Validation Protocol: A level is considered breached only if the candle body closes beyond the pivot. This filters out "Wick Fakeouts" and Stop-Hunts often seen during news events.
Conflict Resolution: When the Lower Timeframe trend contradicts the Higher Timeframe structure, the indicator visualizes this as a "Retracement Phase," advising caution.
Operational Workflow
This tool acts as a Market Context Filter, not a simple signal generator:
Trend Alignment: Use the visual cues to instantly recognize the dominant institutional flow.
Zone Identification: The script automatically plots "Strong Lows" (Invalidation Points) and "Weak Highs" (Targets).
Execution: Seek entries on your timeframe only when the higher timeframe structure (shown by this script) confirms the direction.
Note for Professional Use: This script is designed for precision execution. It minimizes chart clutter by displaying only confirmed structural points, providing a clean, logic-driven workspace for objective decision-making.
Smart Trend Cloud + Dynamic Gate (V 2.3)Smart Trend Cloud + Dynamic Gate
The Smart Trend Cloud + Dynamic Gate is a comprehensive trend-following system designed to filter out market noise and identify high-probability trend entries. Unlike simple Moving Average crossovers which often fail in ranging markets, this indicator employs a multi-stage validation system (The "Gate") combining Volume, Momentum, and Volatility filters to ensure you only trade when the market has conviction.
Key Features:
> Multi-Type Trend Cloud: Choose between HMA (Hull Moving Average), EMA, or ZeroLag EMA to define the trend baseline.
> The "Dynamic Gate" Filter: A crossover alone does not trigger a signal. The move must be validated by Relative Volume or MACD Histogram momentum within a specific window.
> Choppiness Suppression: Integrated ADX filter turns the candles gray during low-volatility consolidation zones to prevent over-trading.
> Stretch Bands: Optional ATR-based bands to highlight when price is over-extended from the mean.
> Live Dashboard: A table on the chart displaying current Trend State, Relative Volume strength, and ADX values.
How logic Works
1. Trend Definition & The Cloud The core trend is defined by the relationship between a Fast and Slow Moving Average.
Visuals: The space between these MA's forms the "Cloud". The cloud color transparency adjusts dynamically based on the strength of the trend (the spread between the MAs).
MA Options:
HMA: Best for scalping (1m/5m) due to low lag.
ZeroLag EMA: Custom calculation to reduce latency while retaining smoothness.
EMA: Standard trend following.
2. The Entry Gate (Validation) To avoid false signals during "whipsaw" price action, this script uses a logic gate. When a MA crossover occurs, it enters a "Pending" state. It only confirms a BULL or BEAR state if one of the following conditions is met within Gate Window bars:
Volume Spike: Relative Volume (Current Vol / Avg Vol) is greater than the defined threshold (default 1.2x).
Momentum Shift: The MACD Histogram confirms the direction of the trend.
3. Consolidation Filter The script calculates the ADX (Average Directional Index). If the ADX is below the Min ADX Strength threshold (default 20), the market is considered "Choppy."
Visual: Bars turn Gray.
Logic: Trend signals are suppressed until volatility expands.
4. Visual Dashboard A panel is located in the top-right corner providing real-time data:
Trend: Current State (Bull, Bear, or Chop).
Vol: Current Relative Volume (Green if > 1.0).
ADX: Current Trend Strength value.
Settings:
Trend Settings:
Adjust MA types and lengths to fit your timeframe.
Entry Gate: Toggle the Volume/Price gate on/off and adjust the Relative Volume requirement.
Consolidation: Enable/Disable the ADX filter to see all signals or only high-strength ones.
Visuals: Toggle the Cloud, Dashboard, or "Stretch Bands" (ATR bands) to declutter your chart.
Recommended Settings by Timeframe
Since different timeframes require different sensitivities to noise, here are the optimized settings for the Smart Trend Cloud:

Smart MACD Crossover█ OVERVIEW
Smart MACD Crossover is an indicator designed for traders who trade based on MACD line crossovers. It significantly reduces the number of false crossover signals by adding a breakout-box confirmation mechanism. Price must close outside the box created at the moment of the MACD crossover for a signal to trigger. The script also includes optional scaled MACD lines on the price chart, candle coloring, multi-layer “fog” visualization, fully customizable entry signals, automatic Take Profit / Stop Loss levels and a real-time table.
█ CONCEPTS
Standard MACD crossovers frequently produce noise, especially in ranging markets. Smart MACD Crossover attempts to solve this issue: a horizontal box is drawn at the exact bar where the crossover occurs, and a trade signal is generated only when price actually breaks out of that box. By default, the show_only_matching filter is enabled — signals are shown only when the breakout direction matches the original MACD crossover direction (bullish box → long only, bearish box → short only).
█ FEATURES
Fully configurable classic MACD (default 12/26/9)
Optional MACD & Signal lines scaled and plotted directly on the price chart (show_macd_overlay)
Trend-based candle coloring
One-Side Histogram Fog:
- 6 layers above and 6 layers below hl2
- layer height based on average candle size × offset_mult (default 0.7)
- increasing transparency (base 80 + increment 4) for depth effect
- fully customizable colors
Breakout Boxes:
- created on every MACD crossover
- default height = high-low of the signal candle
- optional extension using average candle size × box_multiplier
- semi-transparent fill (85) with colored borders, extended right until breakout
Signals:
- Triangles or “BUY” / “SELL” labels
- show_only_matching filter (enabled by default) — only direction-consistent breakouts generate signals
- when disabled, every box breakout generates a signal according to breakout direction
- Built-in alerts: BUY and SELL
Take Profit / Stop Loss:
- TP1, TP2, TP3 and SL levels drawn automatically after each confirmed signal
- two modes: Candle Multiplier (based on average candle size) or Percentage
- all multipliers/percentages fully adjustable in “Risk Management Settings”
- real-time table in the top-right corner showing current TP/SL prices
█ HOW TO USE
Add via Pine Editor → paste code → Add to Chart.
Settings overview:
- MACD Settings: lengths and source
- Risk Management Settings: TP/SL mode, multipliers/percentages, average candle period
- MACD Overlay Lines: toggle scaled MACD lines on price chart
- Fog: enable/disable, adjust height and transparency
- Visual Settings: candle coloring
- Boxes: optional size multiplier (use_box_multiplier)
- Signals: choose Triangles or Labels, enable/disable direction filter
Signal meaning:
- Triangle below bar / “BUY” label → upward breakout from a box created after bullish MACD crossover
- Triangle above bar / “SELL” label → downward breakout from a box created after bearish MACD crossover
- Open boxes = pending breakout zones
- Fog below price = bullish pressure, fog above price = bearish pressure
█ APPLICATIONS
The indicator reduces false signals coming from plain MACD crossovers. For additional trend confirmation, the scaled MACD lines can be enabled.
Entry into a position is triggered by the BUY/SELL signal generated after the breakout. The TP1–TP3 and SL levels are drawn automatically only for convenience and as a quick reference – they are fully optional and traders can (and usually should) use their own preferred exit strategies, trailing stops, partial closes, or other money-management methods.
█ NOTES
- Due to MACD line scaling onto the price chart, classic MACD divergences cannot be identified
"Smart Dashboard" for Institutional Price Targets.This script is designed to create a "Smart Dashboard" for Institutional Price Targets.
Think of it as a tool that asks, "What does Wall Street think this stock is worth?" and then draws specific "Buy Zones" on your chart based on those professional valuations.
Here is a breakdown of how it works in plain English for an investor:
1. The Core Concept: Wall Street Consensus
The indicator doesn't use standard technical analysis (like RSI or Moving Averages). Instead, it looks at Fundamental Data. It pulls the average Price Target set by institutional analysts (banks, hedge funds, research firms).
Example: If Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and JP Morgan all agree that NVDA is worth $150, this tool grabs that $150 number.
2. The "Data Engine" (The Smart Part)
The code includes a sophisticated "search engine" (Section 2 & 3 of the code) to ensure it finds the most accurate price target.
The Problem: Sometimes data feeds are empty, or they are in the wrong currency (e.g., a Canadian stock showing a price target in USD, which makes the chart look broken).
The Solution: This script follows a "Waterfall" priority list to find data:
Priority 1: It checks NASDAQ data first (often the most accurate for tech stocks like Apple or Tesla).
Priority 2: If the local currency data is missing, it forces a search for USD data (this is the "USD Fix" in the title).
Priority 3: It checks NYSE data.
Backup: If all else fails, it uses the generic TradingView average.
In short: It works very hard to make sure it doesn't give you a blank screen or a currency error.
3. The "Institutional Buy Zones" (The Strategy)
Once the tool finds the "Fair Value" (the Analyst Target), it calculates deep discount levels where an institutional investor might want to buy the dip.
It draws four colored lines below the current price:
Target (Dashed Line): This is the Fair Value. (The goal).
Level 1 (Green Line - 90%): This is 10% below fair value. A standard "buy the dip" zone.
Level 2 (Blue Line - 70%): This is 30% below fair value. This is considered a "Value Buy" or a "Deep Discount."
Level 3 (Orange Line - ~66.5%): A specific Fibonacci-style extension of the deep discount.
Level 4 (Red Line - 63%): The "Crash" buy zone. If price hits this, the stock is trading massively below what analysts think it is worth.
4. The Dashboard
On the screen (top right by default), there is a clean table that summarizes everything:
Target: Tells you the exact price analysts are aiming for.
Dist %: Tells you how far away the current price is from that target (e.g., "+20%" means the stock needs to rise 20% to hit the target).
Source: Tells you where it found the data (e.g., "Nasdaq FQ"), so you know if the data is trustworthy.
How an Investor Uses This:
Validation: You want to buy a stock, but you check this tool. If the price is above the dashed Target line, the tool is telling you the stock is effectively "overpriced" compared to Wall Street's expectations.
Entry Points: You are waiting to enter a position. You set limit orders at the Green (90%) or Blue (70%) lines, knowing these are math-based discount levels relative to the company's fundamental valuation.
Summary: It automates the research process of looking up analyst price targets and draws "Sale Price" lines on your chart automatically.
Smart Money Decoded [GOLD]Title: Smart Money Decoded
Description:
Introduction
Smart Money Decoded is a comprehensive, institutional-grade visualization suite designed to simplify the complex world of Smart Money Concepts (SMC). While many indicators flood the chart with noise, this tool focuses on clarity, precision, and high-probability structure.
This script is built for traders who follow the "Inner Circle Trader" (ICT) methodologies but struggle to identify valid Zones, Displacement, and Liquidity Sweeps in real-time.
💎 Key Features & Logic
1. Refined Market Structure (BOS & CHoCH)
Instead of marking every minor pivot, this script uses a filtered Swing High/Low detection system.
HH/LL/LH/HL Labels: Only significant structure points are mapped.
BOS (Break of Structure): Marks trend continuations in the direction of the bias.
CHoCH (Change of Character): Marks potential trend reversals.
2. Advanced Order Blocks (with "Strict Mode")
Not all down-candles before an up-move are Order Blocks. This script separates the weak from the strong.
Standard OBs: Visualized with standard transparency.
⚡ SWEEP OBs (High Probability): Order Blocks that explicitly swept liquidity (Stop Hunt) before the reversal are highlighted with a thicker border, brighter color, and a ⚡ symbol. These are your high-probability "Turtle Soup" entries.
Strict Mode Toggle: In the settings, you can choose to hide all weak OBs and only see the ones that swept liquidity.
3. Dynamic Breaker Blocks
A true ICT Breaker is a failed Order Block that trapped liquidity.
This script automatically detects when a valid OB is mitigated (broken through) and projects it forward as a Breaker Block.
This ensures you are trading off valid flipped zones (Support becomes Resistance, Resistance becomes Support).
4. Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Automatically detects Imbalances (Imbalance/Inefficiency).
Includes an ATR Filter to ignore tiny, insignificant gaps, keeping your chart clean.
Option to show the Consequent Encroachment (50% CE) level for precision entries.
5. Liquidity Zones (BSL / SSL)
Automatically plots Buy Side Liquidity (BSL) and Sell Side Liquidity (SSL) at key swing points.
Once price sweeps these levels, the zone is removed or marked as "Swept," helping you identify when the draw on liquidity has been met.
6. Institutional Data Panel
A dashboard in the top right corner displays:
Market Bias: Bullish/Bearish/Neutral based on structure.
Premium/Discount: Tells you if price is in the expensive (Premium) or cheap (Discount) part of the current dealing range.
Active Zones: Counts of current open arrays.
⚙️ How To Use This Indicator
Identify Bias: Look at the Structure Labels (HH/LL) and the Panel. Are we making Higher Highs?
Wait for the Trap: Look for a Liquidity Sweep (BSL/SSL taken) or a ⚡ Sweep OB.
Entry Confirmation: Watch for a return to a Fair Value Gap (FVG) or a retest of a Breaker Block (BRK).
Manage Risk: Use the visuals to place stops above/below invalidation points.
Customization:
Go to the settings to toggle "Strict Mode" for Order Blocks, change colors to match your theme, or adjust the lookback periods to fit your specific asset (Forex, Crypto, or Indices).

Smart RSI Composite [DotGain]Summary
Do you want to know the "True Direction" of the market without getting distracted by noise on a single timeframe?
The Smart RSI Composite simplifies market analysis by aggregating momentum data from 10 different timeframes (5m to 12M) into a single, easy-to-read Histogram.
Instead of looking at 10 separate charts or dots, this indicator calculates the Average RSI of the entire market structure. It answers one simple question: "Is the market predominantly Bullish or Bearish right now?"
⚙️ Core Components and Logic
This indicator works like a consensus mechanism for momentum:
Data Aggregation: It pulls RSI values from 10 customizable slots (Default: 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, 1D, 1W, 1M, 3M, 6M, 12M). All slots are enabled by default.
Smart Averaging: It calculates the arithmetic mean of all active timeframes. If the 5m chart is bearish but the Monthly chart is bullish, this indicator balances them out to show you the net result.
Histogram Visualization: The result is plotted as a histogram centered around the 50-line (Neutral).
🚦 How to Read the Histogram
The histogram bars indicate the aggregate strength of the trend based on the Average RSI:
🟩 DARK GREEN (Strong Bullish)
Condition: Average RSI > 60.
Meaning: The market is in a strong uptrend across most timeframes. Momentum is firmly on the buyers' side.
🟢 LIGHT GREEN (Weak Bullish)
Condition: Average RSI between 50 and 60.
Meaning: Slight bullish bias. The bulls are in control, but momentum is not yet extreme.
🔴 LIGHT RED (Weak Bearish)
Condition: Average RSI between 40 and 50.
Meaning: Slight bearish bias. The bears are taking control.
🟥 DARK RED (Strong Bearish)
Condition: Average RSI < 40.
Meaning: The market is in a strong downtrend across most timeframes. Momentum is firmly on the sellers' side.
Visual Elements
Center Line (50): This acts as the Zero-Line. Above 50 is bullish, below 50 is bearish.
Zone Lines (30/70): Dashed lines indicate the traditional Overbought/Oversold levels applied to the aggregate average.
Key Benefit
The Smart RSI Composite acts as a powerful Macro Trend Filter .
Pro Tip: Never go long if the Histogram is Dark Red, and avoid shorting when it is Dark Green. Use this tool to align your trades with the overall market momentum.
Have fun :)

Smart OI & Funding + Market RefSmart OI & Funding + Market Ref is a professional-grade tool designed for crypto perpetual traders who need accurate, real-time sentiment data without the hassle of manual configuration. It solves the common "Symbol Not Found" and NaN errors by using an intelligent symbol detection engine.
This indicator plots the Open Interest (OI) and Funding Rates for your current chart while simultaneously monitoring the broader market sentiment by displaying real-time funding rates for BTC and ETH on the dashboard.
Key Features
🧠 Smart Symbol Detection : automatically detects your current exchange (Binance, Bybit, OKX, etc.) and tries multiple ticker formats (e.g., .P, _OI, _FR) to find valid data. No more manual ticker searching.
📊 Dual-Pane Visualization :
Open Interest (Line): Displayed as a smoothed line area to visualize market participation and trend strength.
Funding Rate (Columns): Color-coded columns (Teal/Red) to instantly spot bullish or bearish sentiment extremes.
⚡ Real-Time Dashboard : A clean, non-intrusive table in the top-right corner displays:
Current Stats : Exact OI (formatted in Millions/Billions) and Funding Rate % for the coin you are viewing.
Market Reference : Live Funding Rates for BTCUSDT and ETHUSDT from your specific exchange to use as a baseline for market sentiment.
How to Use
1. Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to any Crypto Perpetual Futures chart (e.g., BTCUSDT.P, SOLUSDT.P).
2. Scale Setup (Important): Since Open Interest (Millions) and Funding Rates (0.01%) have vastly different values, you must separate their scales:Right-click the Blue Line (OI) $\rightarrow$ Select Pin to Scale Right.Right-click the Columns (Funding) $\rightarrow$ Select Pin to Scale Left.
3. Interpret the Data:High OI + Positive Funding: Strong Bullish sentiment (Longs paying Shorts). Watch for Long Squeezes.High OI + Negative Funding: Strong Bearish sentiment (Shorts paying Longs). Watch for Short Squeezes.Dashboard Ref: Compare your coin's funding to BTC/ETH. If your coin has 0.1% funding while BTC is 0.01%, your crypto is significantly "hotter" than the market average.
Smart RSI Money Flow - Core Bands V1.01SMART RSI – Money Flow Bands (Technical Overview)
1. Background: RSI and Its Behavior on Lower Timeframes
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) originally is a momentum oscillator calculated from average gains and losses over a selected period. In its standard form, RSI is derived solely from price changes; it does not incorporate volume data or order-flow information in its formula.
Because RSI is price-based, its interpretation depends strongly on the timeframe:
• On higher timeframes, each bar aggregates more trading activity, and RSI tends to behave more smoothly.
• On lower timeframes (1-hour down to intraday scalping intervals), price fluctuations are quicker, and RSI becomes more sensitive to short-term noise.
This does not imply that RSI becomes invalid, but that its signals on fast charts can be more reactive and may benefit from additional context such as volume behavior or structural information.
2. Purpose of This Indicator
This indicator extends the classical RSI by adding information that RSI does not include:
• Mapping RSI values into price-based bands instead of the 0–100 oscillator space.
• Retrieving lower timeframe volume data and separating it into buy and sell components.
• Comparing the slope (angle) of price movement with the slope of buy and sell volume.
The goal is to provide a structural interpretation of where price sits relative to RSI conditions and how volume is behaving on a lower timeframe.
3. Technical Differences Compared to Classical RSI
A) Classical RSI
• Input: price only (usually close).
• Output: normalized oscillator between 0 and 100.
• Does not incorporate intra-bar volume distribution.
• Does not separate buy/sell volume.
B) SMART RSI – Money Flow Bands
1) RSI-to-Price Mapping
Converts RSI values into upper/lower price bands using recent price extremes.
2) Lower Timeframe Volume Decomposition
Retrieves LTF data and splits each bar’s volume into buy (close>open) and sell (close
Smart MA Crossover█ OVERVIEW
"Smart MA Crossover" is a technical analysis indicator designed to enhance the effectiveness of strategies based on MA crossovers, combining classic moving average crossovers with breakouts from boxes and dynamic trend visualizations. The indicator is fully customizable—you can freely adjust both parameters and graphical elements.
█ CONCEPTS
Trading approaches based solely on moving average crossover moments generate a large number of false signals. Smart MA Crossover was created to improve this statistic. That's why boxes are added, which are formed from the candle where the MA crossover occurred and generate signals only upon breakout from them. The boxes have bullish (green) and bearish (red) colors. By default, the show_only_matching filter is enabled, displaying entry signals only when the breakout direction matches the box color (e.g., only upward for a bullish box). Boxes are by default the size of the candle on which the crossover occurred, but their size can be adjusted to suit your strategy via an optional average candle size multiplier.
█ FEATURES
- Moving Averages: Two configurable MAs (fast_length, default 10; slow_length, default 30) with selectable type (SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, VWMA). Optionally displayed with gradient fill between them (color depends on trend: green for uptrend, red for downtrend).
- MA Gradient and Candle Coloring: Enable gradient fill between MAs (transparency: gradient_opacity, default 85) and dynamic candle coloring based on trend (green/red).
- Fog Gradient Trend: Multi-layered gradient "fog" around hl2, consisting of 5 levels up and down, with offset based on average candle size (offset_mult, default 0.7) and increasing transparency (base_transp, default 80; transp_inc, default 4). Fog colors are dynamic (green/red).
- Breakout Boxes: Created at the moment of MA crossover, extending to the right. Box height optionally multiplied by average candle size (use_box_multiplier, box_multiplier, default 1.0). Boxes close and generate a signal when price breaks out beyond the top/bottom edge.
Signals:
- Triangles: Green downward triangles (buy breakout) below the bar, red upward triangles (sell breakout) above the bar—only on breakouts matching direction (if show_only_matching = true). When the matching filter is disabled, every box generates a signal based not on the MA crossover, but on the breakout direction.
- Labels: “BUY” (green, below bar) and “SELL” (red, iabove bar) with transparent background (transparency 40).
- Matching Filter: The show_only_matching option limits signals to breakouts consistent with box direction (bullish box → only buy, bearish → only sell).
- Visualization: Gradient MA lines, fill between MAs, multi-layered fog with increasing transparency, boxes with transparent background (85) and colored borders, dynamic trend colors.
- Alerts: Built-in alerts for BUY and SELL signals (with message including ticker and timeframe).
█ HOW TO USE
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator via Pine Editor or the Indicators menu on TradingView.
Configure Settings:
- MA Settings: Adjust fast (fast_length, default 10) and slow (slow_length, default 30) MA lengths and type (ma_type, default SMA).
- Visualization: Enable/disable MA lines (show_ma_lines), MA gradient (use_gradient_ma), fog trend (show_fog), candle coloring (color_candles).
- Boxes and Breakouts: Enable candle size multiplier (use_box_multiplier) and set value (box_multiplier, default 1.0). Enable signal filter (show_only_matching).
- Signals: Choose type (signal_type): Triangles or Labels (Buy/Sell).
- Fog Trend: Adjust offset (offset_mult), base transparency (base_transp), and increment (transp_inc). Select trend colors (col_up, col_dn).
Signal Interpretation:
- Buy Signals: Green triangles below the bar or “BUY” label—on upward breakout from a bullish box (after bull cross).
- Sell Signals: Red triangles above the bar or “SELL” label—on downward breakout from a bearish box (after bear cross).
- Fog and Gradient: green fog/fill = uptrend; red = downtrend.
- Boxes: Active boxes indicate potential breakout zones; their closure confirms the move.
Signal Confirmation: Use with other tools, such as support/resistance levels, volume, or additional MAs to filter false crossovers.
█ APPLICATIONS
- MA Cross Strategies: Replace classic crossovers—boxes and breakouts eliminate many false signals, thereby increasing effectiveness. Confirm with other indicators, e.g., RSI, Fibonacci, FVG, pivot levels.
- Trend Following: Can be used as a classic trend indicator, especially with larger MA values.
█ NOTES
- Test the indicator across different timeframes and assets, adjusting MA lengths and box multiplier to market volatility.
- In consolidating markets, the indicator generates more false signals.
