SMC Academy [PhenLabs]📊 SMC Academy
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The SMC Academy indicator is a comprehensive educational tool designed to demystify Smart Money Concepts (SMC) for traders of all levels. Unlike standard indicators that simply print signals, this script uses a “Learning Phase” system that allows users to toggle between individual concepts—such as Market Structure, Liquidity, Imbalances, and Order Blocks—or view them all simultaneously. It lets you focus on one piece of the puzzle at a time.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Progressive Learning Modes: Toggle between 5 distinct phases to master concepts individually before using the Full Strategy Mode.
Educational Tooltips: Hover over labels to read detailed explanations of why a BOS, MSS, or Liquidity zone was identified.
Smart Filtering: Uses ATR and Volume integration to filter out low-quality Fair Value Gaps and weak Order Blocks.
HTF Dashboard: A built-in panel analyzes Higher Timeframe (4H) data to ensure you are trading in alignment with the broader trend.
🔧 Core Components
Market Structure Engine: Automatically detects Swing Highs and Lows to map out market direction using configurable swing lengths.
Liquidity Manager: Identifies unmitigated swing points that serve as Buy-Side (BSL) and Sell-Side (SSL) liquidity magnets.
Imbalance Detector: Highlights Fair Value Gaps (FVG) where price inefficiencies exist, using ATR thresholds to ignore noise.
Order Block Identifier: Locates the specific candles responsible for structure breaks, validated by volume analysis.
🔥 Key Features
Break of Structure (BOS): Automatically marks trend continuation signals with solid lines and color-coded labels.
Market Structure Shift (MSS): Identifies potential trend reversals when significant swing points are breached.
Dashboard Context: Displays the current trend direction and the 4H context directly on your chart.
Custom Alerts: Built-in alert conditions for structure breaks and new Order Blocks allow for automated tracking.
🎨 Visualization
Structure Lines: Solid lines indicate confirmed breaks (Green for Bullish, Red for Bearish).
Liquidity Zones: Dotted lines extending rightward indicate resting liquidity levels that price may target.
FVG Boxes: Shaded boxes highlight imbalance zones, automatically extending for a user-defined number of bars.
Dashboard: A clean, non-intrusive table in the top-right corner displays trend status and active mode.
📖 Usage Guidelines
Setting Categories
Learning Mode: Select from ‘1. Market Structure’ through ‘5. Full Strategy Mode’ to filter what appears on the chart.
Swing Detection Length: Default (5). Determines the sensitivity of the swing high/low detection.
Structure Break Type: Options (Close/Wick). Choose whether a candle close or just a wick is required to confirm a break.
Min FVG Size: Default (0.5 ATR). Filters out gaps smaller than this multiplier to reduce noise.
Filter Weak OBs by Volume: Default (True). Only highlights Order Blocks where volume exceeds the 20-period average.
✅ Best Use Cases
Educational Study: Isolate “Phase 1: Market Structure” to practice identifying trend changes without distraction.
Trend Following: Use “Phase 3: Imbalances” to find entry points within an established trend.
Reversal Trading: Combine “Phase 2: Liquidity” and “Phase 4: Order Blocks” to catch reversals at key levels.
⚠️ Limitations
Subjectivity: Market structure can be interpreted differently depending on the swing length settings used.
Ranging Markets: Like all trend-following concepts, false BOS/MSS signals may generate during choppy, sideways price action.
Repainting: While the signals are non-repainting once confirmed, the live candle may flash a signal before the close if “Close” mode is selected.
💡 What Makes This Unique
Interactive Learning: The inclusion of tooltip explanations transforms this from a simple tool into an active mentor.
Phase-Based Workflow: The ability to strip the chart back to basics at the click of a button is unique to the PhenLabs ecosystem.
🔬 How It Works
Swing Analysis: The script calculates pivot highs and lows based on your length input to define the structural landscape.
Break Validation: It checks if price crosses these pivot points to trigger BOS (Continuation) or MSS (Reversal) logic.
Volume Confirmation: For Order Blocks, it looks back inside the swing leg to find the specific candle responsible for the move, verifying it has significant volume.
💡 Note:
For the best experience, start in Phase 1 to calibrate your Swing Detection Length to the specific volatility of the asset you are trading before enabling Full Strategy Mode.

RS High Beta Exposure | QuantLapseRS High Beta Exposure | QuantLapse
Conceptual Foundation and Innovation
The RS High Beta Exposure indicator from QuantLapse is a comprehensive multi-asset allocation and momentum-ranking system that integrates beta and trend analysis, pairwise relative strength comparison, and volatility-adjusted filtering.
Its objective is to identify dominant crypto assets while dynamically reallocating High Beta exposure based on a calculated relative strength. The objective is to integrate trend analysis along with volatility filtering to these pairs to determine its relative strength.
At its core, RS High Beta Exposure indicator measures the systematic (β) performance of each asset relative to other assets provided combining these measures with inter-asset ratio trends to determine which assets exhibit superior strength and momentum relative to the other assets.
This integration of relative strength comparison, and trend and filtering analysis represents a quantitative evolution of traditional relative strength analysis, designed for adaptive asset rotation across major cryptocurrencies.
Technical Composition and Calculation
The indicator is structured around three major analytical layers:
1. Beta and Alpha Analysis
-Each asset’s return is decomposed into systematic components relative to the other assets by using a trend based, volatility filtering model.
-Assets with the highest point on a relative strength basis above the median are considered outperformers and eligible for allocation.
2. Pairwise Ratio Momentum
-Every asset is compared against all others through a ratio-trend, where momentum based trend scores quantify the directional momentum between each pair.
-In addition, we filter any false signals with volatility adjusted trends in which ensure high quality signals.
3. High Confidence Ranking
-Using the Pairwise Momentum signals, the RS High Beta Exposure scores them. If the asset comparison is given a signal, the RS High Beta Exposure scores points for each asset.
-If the total points of an asset is 5, its given the rank the dominant asset and is most likely to outperform.
By combining these layers, RS High Beta Exposure determines not only which assets is the strongest but also which assets to be invested.
User Inputs and Feature Adaptability
The indicator includes set of customizable parameters to support portfolio and risk management preferences:
Start Date Filter – Defines the beginning of live strategy evaluation.
Display Options – Able to change the location of the RS Table, Background and equity color.
Asset Selection – Modify or replace up to six crypto assets in the ranking matrix
asset1 = input.symbol("CRYPTO:XRPUSD", title ="Asset 1")
asset2 = input.symbol("CRYPTO:BNBUSD", title ="Asset 2")
asset3 = input.symbol("CRYPTO:ADAUSD", title ="Asset 3")
asset4 = input.symbol("CRYPTO:DOGEUSD", title ="Asset 4")
asset5 = input.symbol("CRYPTO:XLMUSD", title ="Asset 5")
asset6 = input.symbol("CRYPTO:LINKUSD", title ="Asset 6")
Each module operates cohesively to maintain analytical transparency while allowing user-level control over system sensitivity and behavior.
Real World, Practical Applications
The RS High Beta Exposure indicator is designed for systematic traders and quantitative portfolio managers who seek a disciplined framework for dynamic crypto asset rotation.
Key applications include:
High-Beta Asset Identification: Systematically identify crypto assets exhibiting relative dominance and stronger momentum characteristics versus peers within the comparison set.
Rule-Based Portfolio Rotation: Reallocate exposure toward leading assets using objective pairwise signals, reducing emotional decision-making and FOMO-driven trades.
Trend-Aligned Risk Participation: Employ the pairwise relative strength model to maintain exposure only during favorable momentum conditions, helping avoid prolonged participation in weak or deteriorating trends.
By combining relative strength comparisons with trend-aware filtering, this framework bridges quantitative finance and market regime analysis, providing a structured, data-driven approach to crypto asset allocation.
Advantages and Strategic Value
RS High Beta Exposure goes beyond conventional relative strength tools by integrating multi-asset comparison, ratio-based dominance scoring, and volatility-aware regime filtering into a single coherent framework.
By employing a three-layer confluence model — combining trend integrity, relative performance attribution, and volatility-state confirmation — the system improves the reliability of rotation and trend-following decisions.
The model is particularly valuable for traders seeking to:
Mitigate drawdowns while participating in higher-beta assets through regime-aware exposure control.
Identify persistent outperformers early in emerging market trends.
Maintain capital exposure only when statistical and momentum conditions signal elevated confidence.
The inclusion of visual allocation tables and a dynamic alert system makes RS High Beta Exposure both transparent and actionable, supporting discretionary analysis as well as systematic or automated trading workflows.
Alerts and Visualization
The script delivers clear, intuitive visual cues and alert-based feedback to support real-time decision-making:
Color-coded background states visually indicate the current allocation regime.
Allocation labels and summary tables display the dominant asset and its relative strength in real time.
An integrated alert system automatically notifies users whenever allocation states change (e.g., “100% XRP” or “100% CASH”).
Together, these visualization and alert features make RS High Beta Exposure both analytically rigorous and easy to interpret, even in fast-moving live market conditions.
Summary and Usage Tips
RS High Beta Exposure is an advanced interpretation of relative strength analysis, blending pairwise momentum comparisons, multi-asset dominance scoring, and adaptive volatility filters into a disciplined framework for crypto asset rotation.
By combining cross-asset selection with systematic allocation logic, the indicator helps traders determine when to be exposed, which asset demonstrates leadership, and when to step aside during unfavorable conditions. The model is best applied on the 1D timeframe, where its structure is optimized for identifying sustained leadership rather than short-term price noise. For broader context and confirmation, it can be used alongside other QuantLapse systematic models at the portfolio level.
Note: Past performance does not guarantee future results. This indicator is intended for research and educational use within TradingView.

Custom ORBIT GSK-VIZAG-AP-INDIA🚀 Custom ORBIT — Opening Range Breakout & Reversal Indicator
This indicator automatically calculates and plots the Opening Range (OR) high and low levels for a user-defined session and duration. It is designed to assist intraday traders by providing immediate visual signals for both price breakouts and subsequent reversals from these key levels.
The indicator is particularly suitable for markets with defined trading hours, such as the Indian indices (Nifty, Bank Nifty), given its default time settings are based on GMT+5:30.
⚙️ How It Works (Indicator Logic)
The indicator operates based on three main logical components: time definition, level calculation, and signal generation.
1. Time Session and Range Definition: All time calculations are based on GMT+5:30 (Indian Standard Time/IST). The script defines a specific trading session from a customizable start time (default 9:15 AM) to a session end time (default 3:30 PM). The Opening Range (OR) is established during the initial duration, which is set by the rangeMinutes input (default 15 minutes, meaning the OR is calculated from 9:15 AM to 9:30 AM).
2. Level Calculation and Plotting: During the initial range duration, the script captures the absolute highest price (OR High) and the absolute lowest price (OR Low). Once this period ends, two horizontal lines—a green line for the OR High and a red line for the OR Low—are drawn and automatically extended across the chart for the remainder of the active trading session. The visual style of these lines can be customized to Dotted, Dashed, or Solid.
3. Breakout and Reversal Logic: The indicator actively tracks the market's state relative to the OR levels to generate four distinct signals:
Break Up: A signal is generated when the closing price crosses over the OR High, indicating potential upward momentum.
Break Down: A signal is generated when the closing price crosses under the OR Low, indicating potential downward momentum.
Reversal Down: This yellow signal occurs only after a price has already broken above the OR High (Break Up state), and then the price moves back into the range (closing below the ORH), suggesting a failed breakout.
Reversal Up: This yellow signal occurs only after a price has already broken below the OR Low (Break Down state), and then the price moves back into the range (closing above the ORL), suggesting a failed breakdown.
💡 Suggested Use Cases
The signals generated by this indicator can be used in two primary ways:
Breakout Trading: A trader may enter a long position on a "Break Up" signal or a short position on a "Break Down" signal. A common risk management practice is to use the opposite OR level (ORL for long trades, ORH for short trades) as a stop-loss reference.
Faded Breakout / Reversal Trading: Look for the yellow "Reversal Up" or "Reversal Down" signals. These signals indicate a rejection of the OR level, and a trader may take a counter-trend position with the expectation that the price will return to the consolidation range or move toward the opposite OR level.

The levels remain **locked and unchanged** until the next key session candle appears, ensuring clean, non-repainting reference zones.
### Key Features
• Works **exclusively on the 15-minute timeframe**
• Automatically updates at **3AM, 8AM, and 2PM NY time**
• Levels stay fixed — no drifting or recalculation
• Clean, minimal design with customizable colors
• Ideal for liquidity sweeps, displacement, and ICT-style execution models
This indicator is built for traders who want **clarity, patience, and structure**, not clutter. It pairs seamlessly with liquidity sweep, displacement, and fair value gap strategies.
Daily Dynamic Grid StrategyHi everyone,
This strategy is built around a dynamic daily grid concept, using an upper and lower daily range that is automatically divided into multiple grid levels.
The idea is to take advantage of daily volatility by executing DCA entries on specific grid levels, based on predefined conditions.
Key points of the strategy & feature:
I recommend using 1H or 2H timeframe for this strategy
Take profit by grid
When DCA is active (>1 entry), the exit condition switches to close above the average price
A hard stop loss is applied
Includes an optional Trailing TP / SL to help maximize profit during strong moves
Like most DCA-based strategies, it tends to have a high win rate, but during strong market dumps, losses can become relatively large
Can also be used for backtest on Forex markets such as Gold, where using the trailing option is generally more effective
And still trial for the webhook, may continue to improve and update this strategy in future versions.
Displacement## Displacement Indicator (Institutional Momentum Filter)
This indicator highlights **true price displacement** — candles where price moves with **abnormal force relative to recent volatility**.
It is designed to help traders distinguish **real momentum** from normal market noise.
Displacement often precedes:
- Breaks of structure
- Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
- Strong continuation or meaningful pullbacks
This tool focuses on **confirmation**, not prediction.
---
### 🔍 How Displacement Is Defined
A candle is marked as *displacement* only when **all conditions are met**:
• Candle body is larger than a multiple of ATR (volatility-adjusted)
• Candle body makes up a high percentage of the full candle (strong close)
• Directional conviction (bullish or bearish close)
This filters out:
- Small or average candles
- Wick-heavy indecision
- Low-quality breakouts
---
### 🎯 What This Indicator Is Best Used For
✔ Confirming impulsive moves
✔ Validating structure breaks
✔ Anchoring Fair Value Gaps
✔ Filtering low-probability setups
✔ Identifying institutional participation
Works best on **M5, M15, and H1**, especially during **London and NY sessions**.
---
### ⚠️ Important Notes
• This is **not** a buy/sell signal by itself
• Best used with trend, structure, or liquidity context
• Not designed for ranging or low-volatility markets
Think of this indicator as a **momentum truth filter** —
if displacement is missing, conviction is likely missing too.
---
### ⚙️ Inputs Explained
• ATR Length – defines normal volatility
• ATR Multiplier – how aggressive displacement must be
• Minimum Body % – ensures strong candle closes
All inputs are adjustable to fit different markets and styles.
---
### 🧠 Philosophy
Displacement reflects **commitment**, not anticipation.
This tool helps you wait for **proof**, not hope.
---
If you want, I can:
- Tighten this for **ICT-style language**
- Rewrite for **beginner clarity**
- Add a **“How I personally use it”** section
- Optimize it for **TradingView algorithm visibility**

Overview
This indicator maps liquidity concentration zones by analyzing volume distribution across price levels. It identifies areas where significant trading activity has accumulated, potentially indicating zones of interest for future price interaction.
Methodology
Volume Intensity Calculation
Each price level accumulates a normalized volume score calculated as:
- Volume Intensity = Current Bar Volume / SMA(Volume, lookback period)
- This normalization allows comparison across different volatility regimes and trading sessions
Level Construction
- Price levels are distributed symmetrically above and below current price using percentage-based spacing
- Each level maintains cumulative volume data, tracking both raw volume and normalized intensity
- Levels are visualized as zones with height proportional to the spacing parameter
Sweep Detection Logic
A level is marked as "swept" when price action crosses through it:
- Condition: Low ≤ Level Price AND High ≥ Level Price
- Swept levels stop accumulating new volume and can be styled differently (fade, hide, or preserve)
Color Intensity Grading
Zones are color-coded based on their normalized volume relative to the maximum observed:
- Purple: < 25% of max intensity
- Yellow: 25-50% of max intensity
- Orange: 50-75% of max intensity
- Red: > 75% of max intensity
Optional CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta) Mode
When enabled, directional volume is estimated using candle structure:
- Bullish candles: Buy pressure weighted by (Close - Open) / (High - Low)
- Bearish candles: Sell pressure weighted by (Open - Close) / (High - Low)
- Levels display green/red bias based on accumulated directional volume ratio
Adaptive System
The indicator includes a three-layer adaptive system:
1. Timeframe adaptation: Spacing, level count, and retention automatically adjust for M5 through Daily charts
2. Volatility adaptation: ATR-based adjustments widen spacing during high volatility and tighten during consolidation
3. Market type adaptation: Different imbalance thresholds for BTC/ETH, large altcoins, and small caps
Imbalance Detection
Buy/sell imbalance markers appear when the ratio of accumulated buy volume to sell volume exceeds a configurable threshold (default 1.5x for BTC/ETH, 2.0x for small caps).
What Makes This Implementation Unique
- Dollar-denominated liquidity display: Labels show estimated liquidity in USD (K/M/B format) rather than abstract values
- Three-layer adaptive logic: Combines timeframe, volatility (ATR), and asset-class adjustments simultaneously
- Memory-optimized architecture: Automatic cleanup of old swept levels prevents performance degradation on extended charts
- Forward projection: Active levels extend into future bars for cleaner visualization
- Granular visibility controls: Each intensity tier can be toggled independently
Settings Guide
- Dynamic: Enable adaptive adjustments (recommended)
- Spacing: Distance between levels as % of price
- Levels: Number of levels above/below price
- CVD: Enable directional volume analysis
- Forward: Project levels ahead by specified bars
Usage Notes
- Works on both Perpetual and Spot crypto markets
- Optimized for crypto assets; results may vary on other instruments
- Higher timeframes show broader liquidity structure; lower timeframes show granular detail
- Combine with your own analysis framework
Disclaimer
This indicator visualizes historical volume distribution and does not predict future price movement. Not financial advice. Use appropriate risk management.
Hybrid Trend-Following Inside Bar BreakoutHybrid Trend-Following Inside Bar Breakout Strategy
The Hybrid Trend-Following Inside Bar Breakout Strategy is a rule-based trading system designed to capture strong directional moves while controlling risk during uncertain market conditions. It combines trend-following, price action, and volatility-based risk management into a single robust framework.
Core Concept
The strategy trades inside bar breakouts only in the direction of the dominant market trend. Inside bars represent periods of consolidation, and when price breaks out of this consolidation in a trending market, it often leads to impulsive moves with favorable risk–reward characteristics.
Key Components
1. Trend Filter
Uses 50 EMA and 200 EMA to define the market trend.
Bullish bias: 50 EMA above 200 EMA
Bearish bias: 50 EMA below 200 EMA
This filter prevents counter-trend trades and improves trade quality.
2. Volatility Filter
Compares fast ATR (14) with slow ATR (50).
Trades are taken only when volatility is expanding or above a minimum threshold.
This avoids low-volatility, choppy market conditions.
3. Inside Bar Breakout
An inside bar forms when the current candle’s high is lower than the previous candle’s high and the low is higher than the previous candle’s low.
A trade is triggered only when price breaks above or below the inside bar range in the direction of the trend.
4. Candle Quality Filter
Requires a minimum body-to-range ratio, ensuring that the breakout candle has strong momentum and is not driven by weak wicks.
Risk Management & Trade Management
Stop Loss (SL)
Placed using ATR-based dynamic stops, adapting to current market volatility.
Prevents tight stops in volatile conditions and wide stops in calm markets.
Partial Profit Taking
50% of the position is exited at 1.5R, locking in profits early.
This reduces psychological pressure and improves equity stability.
Trailing Stop
After partial profit is taken, the remaining position is managed with an ATR-based trailing stop.
Allows the strategy to capture large trend moves while protecting gains.
Cooldown Mechanism
After a losing trade, the system enters a cooldown period and skips a fixed number of bars.
This helps avoid revenge trading and overtrading during unfavorable market phases.
Why This Strategy Works
Trades only high-probability breakouts in trending markets
Adapts automatically to changing volatility
Combines price action precision with systematic risk control
Designed for consistent performance over long historical periods
