 Smart Money Trading Made Easy with This Free Indicator

This post explains how a free TradingView indicator can simplify Smart Money Concepts trading. Smart Money trading focuses on price action, market structure, order blocks, imbalances, and liquidity. While powerful, it can be complex. This indicator automates much of the analysis, making it easier, especially for beginners.

What is Smart Money Trading?

Smart Money trading analyzes price action without relying on traditional indicators or chart patterns. It looks at market structure, order blocks, imbalances, and liquidity to find good entry and exit points. It's different from other trading styles because it focuses on why price moves, not just what it does.

How This Free Indicator Helps:

This indicator does the hard work for you by automatically identifying:

• Market Structure: Shows key price movements and trend changes.
• Order Blocks: Highlights areas of support and resistance where big players are likely to trade.
• Liquidity: Marks areas where lots of stop-loss orders are placed, which often attract price movement.
• Fair Value Gaps (Optional): Identifies imbalances in the market that price often moves to fill.

How to Find and Use the Indicator:

1. Go to TradingView.com.
2. Click on the "Indicators" tab.
3. Search for "Smart Money Concepts by Lux Algo."
4. Add the indicator to your chart.
5. To turn on Fair Value Gaps, go to the indicator settings and enable them. Set it to Five Points for better visibility.

Understanding the Key Features:

• Market Structure:

  • BOS (Break of Structure): A strong move in one direction.
  • CH (Change of Character): A trend reversal.
  • Dashed Lines: Small price movements within a trend.
  • Solid Thick Lines: Major trend movements (swing structure).
  • Swing Points (Optional): Shows important highs and lows.
  • Strong/Weak Highs/Lows (Optional): Indicates the strength of price levels. A strong high is likely to hold, while a weak high is likely to be broken. The opposite is true for lows.

• Order Blocks: Areas of support and resistance. Swing order blocks are more important than internal ones.

• Fair Value Gaps (FVG): Imbalances on the chart. Bullish FVGs (green) act as support, and bearish FVGs (red) act as resistance.

• Equal Highs/Lows: Areas where price has made equal highs or lows. These attract liquidity.

• MTF Levels (Multi-Time Frame Levels): Shows daily, weekly, and monthly highs and lows.

• Premium & Discount Zones: Divides the market into "expensive" (sell) and "cheap" (buy) areas.

Trading Examples:

• Example 1 (Using FVGs): Identify a trend, wait for a Change of Character and Break of Structure. Look for a FVG, wait for price to pull back to it, and enter a trade.

• Example 2 (Using Order Blocks & Market Structure): Find a trend, identify a liquidity grab and order block formation, wait for a Break of Structure. Enter a trade when price returns to the order block.
