Smart Money Concepts (Advanced)

6. Jan.

Inspired and initially based on LuxAlgo's Smart Money Concepts Indicator I created a library lib_smc that started to convert every function and return objects. This allowed certain customizations like tracking the current fill level of FVGs or tracking the creation of Order Blocks, by monitoring consecutive bars against the current trend.

This indicator is provided as is, based on, but probably not always be up to date with my lib_smc that I am using for my projects.

WARNING: This indicator shows EXPERIMENTAL Order Blocks that are tracked LIVE. Unlike usual Order Blocks these are not just based on the last confirmed Swing Point (formed 50 bars before) but on consecutive candles opposing an unconfirmed trend. Blocks are confirmed by price movements relative to the unconfirmed block and unconfirmed swing points. This means that some Order Blocks will appear on pullbacks, as well as reversals.

Features

1. Swing Points (HH / LH / HL / LL), indicating support / resistance zones price might reject off of or want to push through
   
2. Market Structure (BOS / ChoCh), indicates confirmation for a continued / changing trend
   
3. live Order Blocks (OB), see warning above.
   
4. Fair Value Gaps (FVG), optional from higher timeframes
   
5. Equal Highs / Lows (EQH/EQL), indicates strong support / resistance zones, especially when the bars forming it have long wicks toward that zone
   
6. using my lib_no_delay all moving averages are working from bar 0, so it can be used on charts with limited bars
