Sonarlab - Smart Money Concepts

2021년 12월 2일

Supply and Demand is one of the core strategies used in trading. It focuses on the ancient laws of supply and demand and how price moves in a free-flowing market. Supply and demand zones are a popular analysis technique used in all kinds of trading styles. The zones are the periods of sideways price action that come before explosive price moves, and are typically marked out using a box. We wanted to make these squares drawn automatically for you - so it will save you time spotting the zones.

Green Box
The green box defines demand - in these areas you will look for long opportunities. You can also use these zones for take profit levels when you are in a sell trade.

Blue Box
The blue box defines supply - in these areas you will look for short opportunities. You can also use these zones for take profit levels when you are in a buy trade.



Break of structure
For markets to move up and down a break in market structure must occur. A break in market structure occurs when the market begins to shift direction and break the previous HH and HL or HL and LL of the market. We also integrated the feature that you can see the BOS lines. In the indicator settings you can adjust the values:
1) Sensitivity
2) Min. candles in structure
3) BOS type: close or wick

Warning Never blindly take a position on each box - wait for a proper signal to occur before considering a position.

Added Trend Line Liquidity (TLL)
Added FVG, BPR, and more Imbalances
Added Volume Profile
The volume profile will show you the specific volume of the range you are trading in. This can be really handy for showing high volume area's and adding upon your confluence.
Added Liquidity Grabs
Get notified when a high or low gets taken and the market rejects from that area. This comes with a label: LG (liquidity grab) and with an alert.
Changed how Order Blocks are displayed
Always displaying the most recent bullish - and bearish OB not matter how far back in price.
Added Order Block Bull/Bear Volume Data
Shows lower timeframe bullish and bearish volume that is present inside he OB candle
Added New Swing Types
'Adaptive' is what is current in SMC 1.1.7. 'Natural' don't adjust and move, giving a more natural feel to the swing high and low placements.
Added CHoCH+
The CHoCH+ will give you a more stronger version of a normal CHoCH - it has a higher chance of reversing

New features/ changes - V2.1

• New Order Block Strength Calculation and Design
  
• New Order Block Strength Meter makes it easier to read and understand which Order Blocks are likely to hold
  
• New Buy and Sellside Liquidity levels
  
• New Buy and Sellside Liquidity Levels show key areas where large pools of buyers and sellers would have their Stop Losses behind
  
• New Market Structure Shift (MSS)
  
• Bullish MSS is when price first takes out the Sellside Liquidity, then price will create displacement by aggressively moving in a bullish direction while breaking through the most recent internal high.
  
• New Inducement Feature
  
• The new inducement feature will show you where the market traps buyer and sellers by manipulating the market through key levels, then once trapped, the market will aggressively move in the opposite direction.
  

And of course other small optimizations...
