SMC BOS Strategy for XAUUSDThis is a custom-built TradingView strategy that uses Smart Money Concept (SMC) logic to identify high-probability trend continuation and reversal entries based on Break of Structure (BOS) on XAUUSD. It is designed for traders looking to test institutional-style structure breaks with dynamic entry and risk-managed exits.
The strategy detects BOS using swing highs and lows, then enters trades based on price momentum (bullish or bearish candle confirmation). Each trade is automatically managed using a fixed stop loss in pips and a customizable risk-to-reward (RR) ratio. The goal is to backtest how BOS alone can drive clean directional entries, simulating Smart Money precision without repainting or false signals.
🔑 Key Features:
BOS-Based Entry Logic: Enters trades only after a valid break of structure (new higher high or lower low), signaling continuation from a Smart Money shift.
Momentum Filtered Entry: Requires candle confirmation to validate direction (e.g., bullish close after bullish BOS).
Full Backtest Engine: Built using strategy() functions, allowing you to test SL/TP performance and adjust position sizing.
Custom Risk Control: Adjust Stop Loss (in pips) and Target Profit using a flexible RR ratio (e.g. 1:2 or 1:3 setups).
Works Across Timeframes: Optimized for 15m, 1H, and 4H on XAUUSD, but works on any asset that respects structure.
⚙️ Settings:
Swing Sensitivity – Controls how strict pivot highs/lows are
Minimum Bar Spacing – Prevents overtrading after recent BOS
Stop Loss (in pips) – Fixed distance from entry
Risk/Reward Ratio – Multiplies SL for dynamic take-profit
Trade Direction – Supports both long and short with momentum
📊 How It Works:
Detects new structure break (BOS)
Confirms momentum with candle direction (close > open for long, close < open for short)
Triggers entry and sets TP/SL automatically
Logs results in the Strategy Tester for full backtest evaluation
📌 Optimized For:
XAUUSD (Gold)
Smart Money / SMC / ICT traders
Trend continuation + reversal structures
Backtest-focused strategy building
Institutional-level analysis
📎 Release Notes:
v1.0 – Initial release of BOS-only SMC strategy with full entry/exit simulation and strategy tester support.
⚠️ Disclaimer:
This strategy is built for educational and research purposes only. It is not a signal provider or financial advice. Always combine with your personal confirmation, confluence tools, and risk management.
SMC Structure Levels – BOS & CHoCH for XAUUSDThis is a custom-made TradingView indicator designed to visualize high-confidence market structure shifts based on Smart Money Concepts (SMC), focusing on Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH) points. The tool is optimized for XAUUSD but works across all major forex, crypto, and index markets.
It identifies key pivot points and filters them using both price distance and bar spacing, helping traders focus only on meaningful structural changes — not noisy signals. This makes it ideal for traders looking to track institutional-style price behavior with clarity.
🔑 Key Features:
Clean BOS & CHoCH Labels: The indicator plots “BOS” above candles when a structural break occurs in the trend direction, and “CHoCH” below candles when early signs of a reversal appear.
Spaced Signals: Only plots structure shifts that meet both time and price distance filters, preventing clutter and overplotting on the chart.
Swing-Based Logic: Built on pivot high/low analysis with adjustable sensitivity, ensuring flexible structure detection on any timeframe.
Fully Customizable: Modify:
Swing Sensitivity (number of bars before/after pivot)
Minimum bar spacing between BOS/CHoCH signals
Minimum price movement (in pips) between labels
Toggle BOS or CHoCH visibility individually
No Repainting: Once confirmed, signals remain fixed on the chart for historical review.
Zero Clutter: Unlike typical SMC tools that flood the chart, this indicator prioritizes clarity and signal quality.
🧠 What is BOS & CHoCH?
Break of Structure (BOS): Indicates continuation of the current market trend.
Change of Character (CHoCH): Suggests a potential early trend reversal or shift in momentum.
These tools are often used by Smart Money traders to mark significant turning points and trend confirmations.

Williams FractalsBoaBias Fractals High & Lows is an indicator based on Bill Williams' fractals that helps identify key support and resistance levels on the chart. It displays horizontal lines at fractal highs (red) and lows (green), which extend to the current bar. Lines automatically disappear if the price breaks through them, leaving only the relevant levels. Additionally, the indicator shows the price values of active fractals on the price scale for convenient monitoring.
Key Features:
Customizable Fractals: Choose between 3-bar or 5-bar fractals (default: 3-bar).
Period: Adjust the number of periods for calculation
Visualization: Red lines for highs (resistance), green for lows (support). Lines are fixed on the chart and persist during scrolling or scaling changes.
Alert System: Notifications for the formation of a new fractal high/low and for level breaks (Fractal High Formed, Fractal Low Formed, Fractal High Broken, Fractal Low Broken).
How to Use:
Add the indicator to the chart.
Configure parameters: select the fractal type (3 or 5 bars) and period.
Set up alerts in TradingView to receive notifications about new fractals or breaks.
Use the lines as levels for entry/exit positions, stop-losses, or take-profits in fractal-based strategies.
Troubleshooting: If Levels Are Not Fixed on the Chart
If the levels (fractal lines) do not stay fixed on the chart and fail to move with it during scrolling or scaling (e.g., they remain stationary while the chart shifts), this is typically due to the indicator's scale settings in TradingView. The indicator may be set to "No scale," causing the lines to desynchronize from the chart's price scale.
What to Do:
Locate the Indicator Label: On the chart, find the indicator label in the top-left corner of the pane (or where "BoaBias Fractals High & Lows" is displayed).
Right-Click the Label: Click the right mouse button on this label.
Adjust the Scale:
In the context menu, look for the "Scale" or "Pin to scale" option.
If it shows "Pin to scale (now no scale)" or similar, select "Pin to right scale" (or "Pin to left scale," depending on your chart's main price scale—usually the right).
Refresh the Chart: After changing the setting, refresh the chart (press F5 or reload the page), or toggle the indicator off and on again to apply the changes.
After this, the lines should move and scale with the chart during scrolling (horizontal or vertical) or zooming. If the issue persists, check:
TradingView Limits: The indicator may draw too many lines (maximum ~500 per script). If there are many historical fractals, older lines might not display.
Chart Settings: Ensure the chart is not in logarithmic scale (if applicable) or that auto-scaling is enabled.
Indicator Version: Verify you are using the latest script version (Pine Script v6) and check for errors in the TradingView console.
This indicator is ideal for traders working with Bill Williams' chaos theory or those seeking dynamic support/resistance levels. It is based on standard fractals but with enhancements for convenience: automatic removal of broken levels and integration with the price scale.
Note: The indicator does not provide trading signals on its own — use it in combination with other tools. Test on historical data before real trading.

MA Crossover with Dots📘 Strategy Description – Moving Average Crossover with Dot Signals
This indicator is based on a Simple Moving Average (SMA) crossover strategy, which is a classic method to identify trend changes and potential buy/sell signals in the market.
📊 Core Logic:
It calculates two SMAs:
Fast SMA: 20-period moving average (short-term trend)
Slow SMA: 50-period moving average (longer-term trend)
✅ Buy Signal (Green Dot):
When the Fast SMA crosses above the Slow SMA, a Buy signal is generated.
This suggests bullish momentum or the start of an uptrend.
❌ Sell Signal (Red Dot):
When the Fast SMA crosses below the Slow SMA, a Sell signal is generated.
This suggests bearish momentum or the start of a downtrend.
📍 Visual Representation:
The Buy and Sell signals are plotted as colored dots at different levels:
Green dot = Buy
Red dot = Sell
The dots are plotted at fixed vertical positions in a separate panel below the chart for better clarity and to avoid overlap.

IB Breakout Strategy with Fib, CVD, and DivergenceEntry rules and signals- I wait for the 5min IB(initial balance) to form every session for eg-(first 5min candle of london session or ny session, marking top wick to bottom wick of first 5 min candle with a midpoint in that zone.Then look for CVD(cumulative volume delta) if it's alining with my analysis.I also mark previous session fib levels for scalp entries on .618 or .78 level.Also i do mark previous day VAH(value area high),VAL(value area low) and POC(point of control) for better understanding of direction.
Initial stop loss and take profit values-Initial stop loss varies from 200$ to 500$ and take profit varies from 250$ to 500$.
Number of contracts you plan to trade based on system stats and risk management-I plan to trade 1-2 contracts until i reach the safety net.Once safety net is achieved based on my entry level i decide the contract size which varies from 1-4 contracts.
Trade management and any trailing stop methods-I trail the stop once i feel like there's enough room for the trade.I manage the trade on the basis of strength of a candle, if its taking much time without strength i exit the trade.

Fair Value Gap [Custom]📌 FVG Indicator – Smart Money Concepts Tool
This script is based on Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and automatically detects and marks Fair Value Gaps (FVG) on the chart, helping traders identify unbalanced price areas left behind by institutional moves.
🧠 What is an FVG?
An FVG (Fair Value Gap) is the price gap formed when the market moves rapidly, leaving behind a candle range where no trading occurred — typically between Candle 1’s high and Candle 3’s low (in a three-candle pattern). These gaps often signal imbalance, created during structural breaks or liquidity grabs, and may act as retrace zones or entry points.
🛠 Features:
✅ Automatically detects and highlights FVG zones (high-low range)
✅ Differentiates between open (unfilled) and closed (filled) FVGs
✅ Adjustable timeframe settings (works best on 1H–4H charts)
✅ Option to toggle display of filled FVGs
✅ Great for identifying pullback entries, continuation zones, or reversal setups
💡 Recommended Use:
After BOS/CHoCH, watch for price to return to the FVG for entry
Combine with Order Blocks and liquidity zones for higher accuracy
Best used as part of an ICT or SMC-based trading system
KST Strategy [Skyrexio]Overview
KST Strategy leverages Know Sure Thing (KST) indicator in conjunction with the Williams Alligator and Moving average to obtain the high probability setups. KST is used for for having the high probability to enter in the direction of a current trend when momentum is rising, Alligator is used as a short term trend filter, while Moving average approximates the long term trend and allows trades only in its direction. Also strategy has the additional optional filter on Choppiness Index which does not allow trades if market is choppy, above the user-specified threshold. Strategy has the user specified take profit and stop-loss numbers, but multiplied by Average True Range (ATR) value on the moment when trade is open. The strategy opens only long trades.
Unique Features
ATR based stop-loss and take profit. Instead of fixed take profit and stop-loss percentage strategy utilizes user chosen numbers multiplied by ATR for its calculation.
Configurable Trading Periods. Users can tailor the strategy to specific market windows, adapting to different market conditions.
Optional Choppiness Index filter. Strategy allows to choose if it will use the filter trades with Choppiness Index and set up its threshold.
Methodology
The strategy opens long trade when the following price met the conditions:
Close price is above the Alligator's jaw line
Close price is above the filtering Moving average
KST line of Know Sure Thing indicator shall cross over its signal line (details in justification of methodology)
If the Choppiness Index filter is enabled its value shall be less than user defined threshold
When the long trade is executed algorithm defines the stop-loss level as the low minus user defined number, multiplied by ATR at the trade open candle. Also it defines take profit with close price plus user defined number, multiplied by ATR at the trade open candle. While trade is in progress, if high price on any candle above the calculated take profit level or low price is below the calculated stop loss level, trade is closed.
Strategy settings
In the inputs window user can setup the following strategy settings:
ATR Stop Loss (by default = 1.5, number of ATRs to calculate stop-loss level)

Justification of Methodology
Before understanding why this particular combination of indicator has been chosen let's briefly explain what is KST, Williams Alligator, Moving Average, ATR and Choppiness Index.
The KST (Know Sure Thing) is a momentum oscillator developed by Martin Pring. It combines multiple Rate of Change (ROC) values, smoothed over different timeframes, to identify trend direction and momentum strength. First of all, what is ROC? ROC (Rate of Change) is a momentum indicator that measures the percentage change in price between the current price and the price a set number of periods ago.
ROC = 100 * (Current Price - Price N Periods Ago) / Price N Periods Ago
In our case N is the KST ROC Length inputs from settings, here we will calculate 4 different ROCs to obtain KST value:
KST = ROC1_smooth × 1 + ROC2_smooth × 2 + ROC3_smooth × 3 + ROC4_smooth × 4
ROC1 = ROC(close, KST ROC Length #1), smoothed by KST SMA Length #1,
ROC2 = ROC(close, KST ROC Length #2), smoothed by KST SMA Length #2,
ROC3 = ROC(close, KST ROC Length #3), smoothed by KST SMA Length #3,
ROC4 = ROC(close, KST ROC Length #4), smoothed by KST SMA Length #4
Also for this indicator the signal line is calculated:
Signal = SMA(KST, KST Signal Line Length)
When the KST line rises, it indicates increasing momentum and suggests that an upward trend may be developing. Conversely, when the KST line declines, it reflects weakening momentum and a potential downward trend. A crossover of the KST line above its signal line is considered a buy signal, while a crossover below the signal line is viewed as a sell signal. If the KST stays above zero, it indicates overall bullish momentum; if it remains below zero, it points to bearish momentum. The KST indicator smooths momentum across multiple timeframes, helping to reduce noise and provide clearer signals for medium- to long-term trends.
Next, let’s discuss the short-term trend filter, which combines the Williams Alligator and Williams Fractals. Williams Alligator
Developed by Bill Williams, the Alligator is a technical indicator that identifies trends and potential market reversals. It consists of three smoothed moving averages:
Jaw (Blue Line): The slowest of the three, based on a 13-period smoothed moving average shifted 8 bars ahead.
Teeth (Red Line): The medium-speed line, derived from an 8-period smoothed moving average shifted 5 bars forward.
Lips (Green Line): The fastest line, calculated using a 5-period smoothed moving average shifted 3 bars forward.
When the lines diverge and align in order, the "Alligator" is "awake," signaling a strong trend. When the lines overlap or intertwine, the "Alligator" is "asleep," indicating a range-bound or sideways market. This indicator helps traders determine when to enter or avoid trades.
The next indicator is Moving Average. It has a lot of different types which can be chosen to filter trades and the Least Squares MA is used by default settings. Let's briefly explain what is it.
The Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA) — also known as Linear Regression Moving Average — is a trend-following indicator that uses the least squares method to fit a straight line to the price data over a given period, then plots the value of that line at the most recent point. It draws the best-fitting straight line through the past N prices (using linear regression), and then takes the endpoint of that line as the value of the moving average for that bar. The LSMA aims to reduce lag and highlight the current trend more accurately than traditional moving averages like SMA or EMA.
Key Features:
It reacts faster to price changes than most moving averages.
It is smoother and less noisy than short-term EMAs.
It can be used to identify trend direction, momentum, and potential reversal points.
ATR (Average True Range) is a volatility indicator that measures how much an asset typically moves during a given period. It was introduced by J. Welles Wilder and is widely used to assess market volatility, not direction.
To calculate it first of all we need to get True Range (TR), this is the greatest value among:
High - Low
abs(High - Previous Close)
abs(Low - Previous Close)
ATR = MA(TR, n) , where n is number of periods for moving average, in our case equals 14.
ATR shows how much an asset moves on average per candle/bar. A higher ATR means more volatility; a lower ATR means a calmer market.
The Choppiness Index is a technical indicator that quantifies whether the market is trending or choppy (sideways). It doesn't indicate trend direction — only the strength or weakness of a trend. Higher Choppiness Index usually approximates the sideways market, while its low value tells us that there is a high probability of a trend.
Choppiness Index = 100 × log10(ΣATR(n) / (MaxHigh(n) - MinLow(n))) / log10(n)
where:
ΣATR(n) = sum of the Average True Range over n periods
MaxHigh(n) = highest high over n periods
MinLow(n) = lowest low over n periods
log10 = base-10 logarithm
Now let's understand how these indicators work in conjunction and why they were chosen for this strategy. KST indicator approximates current momentum, when it is rising and KST line crosses over the signal line there is high probability that short term trend is reversing to the upside and strategy allows to take part in this potential move. Alligator's jaw (blue) line is used as an approximation of a short term trend, taking trades only above it we want to avoid trading against trend to increase probability that long trade is going to be winning.
Almost the same for Moving Average, but it approximates the long term trend, this is just the additional filter. If we trade in the direction of the long term trend we increase probability that higher risk to reward trade will hit the take profit. Choppiness index is the optional filter, but if it turned on it is used for approximating if now market is in sideways or in trend. On the range bounded market the potential moves are restricted. We want to decrease probability opening trades in such condition avoiding trades if this index is above threshold value.
When trade is open script sets the stop loss and take profit targets. ATR approximates the current volatility, so we can make a decision when to exit a trade based on current market condition, it can increase the probability that strategy will avoid the excessive stop loss hits, but anyway user can setup how many ATRs to use as a stop loss and take profit target. As was said in the Methodology stop loss level is obtained by subtracting number of ATRs from trade opening candle low, while take profit by adding to this candle's close.
