Smart Money Concepts PRO

Detect institutional footprints on the chart.

The Smart Money Concepts tool turns raw price action into a market-structure map. It marks breaks, imbalances and reaction zones so you can see where control may have shifted and where price may respond next.

What this tool is for

Use it to identify the current structure, locate possible entry zones and decide where a setup becomes invalid. It is especially helpful when the chart has many swings and you want a consistent first pass instead of labelling BOS, CHoCH, order blocks and fair value gaps by hand.

How to read the result

OutputWhat it means
Market structure & biasWhether price is behaving bullishly, bearishly or as a range, plus the tool’s directional lean.
BOSA break of a prior swing in the current trend direction. It usually supports continuation.
CHoCHA break against the prior structure. It warns that control may be changing, but does not confirm a reversal by itself.
Order blockA zone near the origin of a strong move where price may react if it returns.
Fair value gap (FVG)An imbalance left by fast movement. An unfilled gap may attract a later revisit.
Premium / discountWhether current price is above or below the midpoint of the analyzed range.
Entry modelA proposed trigger, entry, stop, targets and risk-to-reward built from the detected structure.

Practical workflow

  1. Start with market structure and bias; do not begin with the entry price.
  2. Check whether the most recent event is continuation (BOS) or a possible shift (CHoCH).
  3. Find a point of interest where an order block, FVG or premium/discount zone supports the same idea.
  4. Wait for the listed trigger or your own confirmation when price reaches the zone.
  5. Place invalidation beyond the structure that makes the idea valid, then verify the resulting R:R.
Look for confluence: an order block overlapping a Fibonacci level or a liquidity pool is stronger context than an isolated zone.
Zones can fail: SMC labels are interpretations of price structure, not proof of institutional orders. A touch of an order block or FVG is not an automatic entry.
