SMC
Smart Money Concepts: structure, order blocks, liquidity.
| Concept | Shape | Rule | Roles | Settings | Data | Evaluator | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Break of structure (BOS) BOS, structure break | A candle CLOSES beyond the most recent confirmed swing high (bullish) or swing low (bearish). Wick-only breaks do not count. Uses closes, not wicks. | Confirmation, Trigger, Invalidation | Direction, Swing strength | OHLC | bos | Supported | |
| Change of character (CHoCH) CHOCH, CHoCH | The first close beyond a swing AGAINST the existing structure — e.g. above the last lower high after lower highs and lower lows. Needs two confirmed swings each side to know the prior structure. | Confirmation, Trigger | Direction, Swing strength | OHLC | choch | Supported | |
| Displacement impulse, expansion | A strong candle: body at least N × ATR in your direction; optionally it must leave a fair value gap. ATR-based, so it adapts to each market. | Confirmation, Setup event | Direction, Body at least (× ATR), ATR period, Must leave a fair value gap | OHLC | displacement | Supported | |
| FVG retest FVG fill, rebalance | A later candle trades back into an earlier fair value gap without closing through it. First touch only; a close through the gap retires it. | Location / zone, Confirmation, Trigger | Direction, Minimum gap size (price), What should happen at the zone, Gap stays usable for (candles) | OHLC | fvg | Supported | |
| Fair value gap (FVG) FVG, imbalance | A three-candle gap: candle 1 high below candle 3 low (bullish), wick to wick. Wick-to-wick definition only.
