World Class SMC [WinWorld]

2023년 9월 19일

This indicator uses valid pullbacks in order to draw market structure with strict accordance to TradingHub strategy.




Features

Our indicator uses a number of price concepts, such as:

1. IDM
   
2. BoS & ChoCh (also their sweeps)
   
3. Automatic resolving of ChoCh-IDM and IDM-BoS conflicts
   
4. Orderblocks (IDM, Extreme)
   
5. True Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
   
6. True PDH/PDL
   
7. SCOB pattern
   

One of the core features is the ability to choose a time point, from which the market structure will be drawn. This feature alone allows you to test your most desired hypotheses about the market movements within a few clicks, so no more guesses and "what if"s, because you get the opportunity to test everything yourself and right now.



Settings

Let's review the settings themselves:

• Extended Structure: allows you to choose between drawing market structure for a whole timeline or from specific time point only;
  
• Build OB by sweeps: allows you to only draw orderblocks from candle, which took liquidity from previous candle by sweep;
  
• Structure colours & text: allows you to customise visuals representations of market structure elements on your chart;
  
• Structure visuals: allows you to choose which elements of market structure you want/don't want to see on your chart;
  
• Show trend: allows you to choose the way market structure trend will be displayed on your chart: divider or background colouring;
  
• Alerts for each and every event, whether it is a new BoS, ChoCh, orderblock and etc.
  

Usage Examples

IDM Orderblock (OB-IDM)

Basic demonstration


When price reaches OB-IDM, you will be able to receive an alert. After that, check if the candle, that reached OB-IDM, closed inside or above(bearish scenario)/below(bullish scenario) OB-IDM's boundaries. If conditions above were met, go on LTF and look for an entry.


Extreme Orderblock (OB-EXT)

Basic demonstration


Similar to OB-IDM situation: When price reaches OB-EXT, you will be able to receive an alert. After that, check if the candle, that reached OB-EXT, closed inside or above(bearish scenario)/below(bullish scenario) OB-EXT's boundaries. If conditions above were met, go on LTF and look for an entry.


Sweep PDH/PDL

Basic demonstration


* PDH — Previous Day High
* PDL — Previous Day Low
When you received PDH sweep alert and current trend is bearish, go on LTF to find entry point. (bullish scenario: PDL sweep and current trend is bullish)


Sweep ChoCh

Basic demonstration


If you get alert of sweeped ChoCh, it usually means that price grabbed the liquidity from extremum points and is ready to continue going with the trend. Go on LTF to find an entry.

🟡Previous OB-EXT. Now you can see all OB-EXT orderblocks for the available price history, and many of you probably already know, that OB-EXT is a great POI, which often gives very lucrative trade; opportunities.


🟡 SMT. Less lucrative POI than OB-IDM or OB-EXT, but can still offer good entry opportunities;


🟡 FVG. Before this update FVG was only used in orderblocks, but now we've decided to make FVG as separate feature, which allows to see all live and unfilled FVGs for the available price history. Also, when price touches FVG, script adjusts the touched FVGs, so you would see how much unfilled imbalance there if left;


🟡 Extended BoS & ChoCh lines. Sometimes, because of sweeps, BoS and ChoCh can be hard to spot on the chart. Now it is no longer the case, because you can choose in the settings to extend BoS and ChoCh lines to the time point of the first sweep, which spotting BoS and ChoCh way easier.


✔️ Also we have optimized our algorithms even more to deliver better performance and precision. Especially significant changes were made to orderblock algorithm.

version 2.1.7:


+ Added IFC - Institutional Funding Candle (+ Alerts).

IFC Pattern Mechanics from the True Price Movement Perspective: When a major player plans a trending move, they need to clear out all "passengers" on the current "flight." Why?

Smaller players will cover their positions, slowing the trending movement. This isn’t favorable for institutional traders, so they make a sharp move to trigger stop-losses among retail traders, allowing them to realize their trending potential.

This is how the IFC is formed — a candlestick with high volume, a large shadow, and an imbalance.

A valid IFC is only one that has sweeped liquidity.

How to Use the IFC Pattern:

• HTF (Higher Time Frame) – for higher time frames, an IFC represents a significant zone of interest;
  
• LTF (Lower Time Frame) – upon reaching a point of interest (POI) on the HTF, an IFC on the LTF serves as an excellent entry point, where the stop-loss is placed behind the candle’s high or low.
  

Here are a few examples of IFC usage:




Personally we have to say, that IFC is a great POI to trade on crypto markets, considering their volatility and sharp movements.


+ Added Engulfing Candle (EC) (+ Alerts);

Engulfing Candle (EC) is a classic candle pattern, which calculates quite simply:

• Bullish EC = close > previous high AND low < previous low;
  
• BearishEC = close < previous low AND high > previous high.
  

- Deleted live FVG feature for robustness increase and saving of computational power.

You have been waiting, we have been building… Now it is the time!

⭐️ GLOBAL UPDATE: World Class SMC v2 (WCSMC v2)

🔎 Overview:

• Structure mapping algorithms were rewritten & optimized. Now they work faster & more accurately than they did in WCSMC v1.
  
• 🆕 New feature – Internal Structure.
  Now you don’t have to wait for weeks for a big internal move to end to finally have some alerts, because all internal moves will be displayed right away, as well as their POIs. Alerts included, of course :)
  
  
• 🆕 New feature – Orderflow.
  One of the most popular & recognized POI zones are now available in WCSMC v2 as well.
  
  
• 🆕 New feature – Equal Highs/Low (EQHL).
  Classic POI, which still works great in any market. The thing about our EQHL algorithm is that it is built on our proprietary ICSM algorithm, avoiding the usage of old Pivot Point-based approach, thus giving our users the opportunity to work with only the true structural highs & lows, eliminating the need to toggle pivot point’s length back and forth. Simple, fast, based on real SMC – outstanding solution, which is now available to each of our users.
  
  So now the structure on the chart is divided into two parts: external and internal:
  
  
  🔘 External Structure
  • Inducement (IDM / IND)
    
  • Break of Structure (BoS) / Sweep BoS
    
  • Change of Character (ChoCh) / Sweep ChoCh
    
  • Order Block IDM (Decision Block
    
  • Order Block EXT (Extreme)
    
  • SMT (Intermediate blocks)
    
  🔘 Internal Structure
  • i-IDM (Internal inducement)
    
  • i-BoS (Internal BoS)
    
  • i-ChoCh (Internal ChoCh)
    
  • i-OB-IDM (Internal decision block)
    
  • i-OB-EXT (Internal extreme block)
    
  • i-SMT (Internal Intermediate blocks)
    
  ⏺️ FEATURE OVERVIEW: Internal Structure🔘 How does it work?
  The algorithm is designed to identify internal structure when an IDM level is taken. If price breaks the IDM, you can trade against the structure up to the next trending POIs: OB-IDM, OB-EXT, ChoCh.
  Example of internal and external structure:
  🔘 Why is this important?
  You have probably noticed structural changes (big impulse/correction moves) happening in the crypto market from time to time. During strong impulse moves, price often got stuck in a range for months. Now, with the internal structure, you can trade within the created range.
  
  See the difference yourself:
  
  • Withoutinternal structure
    
  • With internal structure:
    ⏺️ FEATURE OVERVIEW: Orderflow (OF)🔘 How does it work?
    Order flow represents the structural BTS/STB (Buy to sell / Sell to buy) area before structural points are updated (including IDM). Built on ICSM, order flow has a wider range and higher probability of area mitigation compared to order blocks.
    
    • Bullish OF
    • Bearish OF
    🔘 Why is this important?
    Orderflow is a great type of POI, which usually gathers a lot of liquidity around it and can be used to find an entry zone for any trade. Here are just some of the examples of OF being used as entry zone:
    
    • Long:
      
      The price does not always reach the order block, unlike the orderflow.
      
      
    • Short:
      
      The price does not always reach the order block, unlike the orderflow.
      
      
    ⏺️ FEATURE OVERVIEW: Equal Highs & Lows (EQHL)
    
    🔘 How does it work?
    The principle of work for EQHL algorithm is as simple as it reads & sounds: our indicator searches for two approximately equal highs/lows and displays them on the chart.
    
    The array of highs & lows, which our indicator uses to find EQH/EQL, is comprised of swing highs & lows, which are generated by our proprietary ICSM indicator, which uses valid pullbacks algorithm under the hood. By using highs & lows of valid pullbacks we don’t have to deal with any dynamic parameters like length, which is often used in Pivot Point-based EQHL indicators. This simple fact must assure you that your equal highs & lows on the chart will be the same as ones on the chart of any professional trader. Pretty cool, isn’t it? :)
    
    After such EQH/EQL was found, indicator tracks its most left neighbour to be sweeped by price and then draws horizontal dashed line of corresponding colour to indicate that this EQH/EQL was sweeped, which is a signal for looking for an entry or, if you are a risk taker, opening the trade in the opposite direction right away (alerts available).
    
    Here are little examples of EQH/EQL on the chart:
    
    • EQH
    • EQL
    
    
    🔘 Why is this important
    EQHL can serve its user a great deal of both highly accurate confirmations for certain type of trades and signal entries when used as entry signal trigger.
    
    🔔 WHAT ABOUT ALERTS?
    Each and every alert from WCSMC v1 is still there to serve you, as well as new alerts for new POIs and internal structure. All new alert types will be available to new users as well.
    
    Take a look of what you will have in WCSMC v2:
    
    • 🔘 External Structure Alerts:
      IDM / IDM Sweep;
      BoS / BoS Sweep;
      ChoCh / ChoCh Sweep;
      OB-IDM;
      OB-EXT;
      SMT;
      Previous OB-EXT.
      
    • 🔘 Internal Structure Alerts:
      i-IDM / i-IDM Sweep;
      i-BoS / i-BoS Sweep;
      i-ChoCh / i-ChoCh Sweep;
      i-OB-IDM;
      i-OB-EXT;
      i-SMT;
      Previous i-OB-EXT.
      
    • 🔘 Internal Structure Alerts:
      
      • Orderflow;
        
      • SCOB;
        
      • Crossing equilibrium of PD Zone;
        
      • Engulfing Candle (EC);
        
      • IFC;
        
      • EQH/EQL.
        
    
    
    ⏩ ANYTHING ELSE?
    As for this update, this is everything that we wanted to share, but in the following month much more useful updates & new indicators will be released. For now you can still enjoy old good & powerful side features Is like:
    
    • IFC (Institutional Funding Candle);
      
    • EC (Engulfing Candle);
      
    • Premium/Discount Zones (PD Zones);
      
    • Inside Bars.
      
    
    
    🤝 We sincerely hope that you enjoy this update just like we did!

⭐️ MAJOR UPDATE: Revision 3.0 is LIVE!

You can now enjoy:

• Two Active IDMs;
  
• MTF Structure & POI;
  
• MTF Dashboard;
  
• Faster load speeds;
  
• Remastered settings UI for easier navigation.
  

We have also decided to make a serious step and move all our POIs to another indicator, which will be released soon. Why? We want to free World Class SMC from unnecessary load and make our flagship product only about the thing it does best — SMC structure mapping,

Now let's talk about new features.


⏺️ FEATURE: Second IDM (Another IDM)

This is something we personally wanted to do a long time ago. Seeing just one IDM is classic way of tracking the market structure, but seeing both of IDMs give you a much broader perspective on where the liquidity can potentially be. This is why we implemented both live and history tracking modes for secondary IDM of your choice.

It works quite simple: if you choose one IDM type as primary, the other IDM type will automatically become secondary. For example, if you choose "ext" IDM as your primary IDM, "in" IDM will automatically be set as secondary.

Historial sweeps/breaks of secondary IDM are painted with < > brackets, like "< in-IDM >", which means that in-IDM was swept as secondary IDM.

You can toggle the display of secondary IDM in "SMC | Chart Controls" setting group with "Secondary IDM" button.

You can see the examples of broken primary and secondary IDMs on the screenshot below:


⏺️ FEATURE: MTF Structure & POI

This one is a big deal. Seeing SMC structure and POIs from another timeframe was previously just a dream of our users, but now it is hard reality – you can choose any timeframe and track its structure and POIs on your current timeframe. This is useful for the single simple reason — you don't have to jump like a rabbit from one timeframe to another to gather data. Just switch on the MTF structure, choose the timeframe and World Class SMC will do its magic for you :)

You can toggle the display of MTF structure in "Main Settings" group of settings with "Show MTF structure" button.

You can see examples of MTF structure and POI from 1h timeframe on the screenshot below:


⏺️ FEATURE: MTF Dashboard

Many of our users asked for this thing specifically. We heard you, guys, and he it is. MTF dashboard is exactly what it sounds like: a dashboard, that tracks data from other timeframes. What data? Trend direction. This one bit of data from another timeframe can help you understand the global market trend direction in seconds, without losing the grip of current timeframe's context.

MTF dashboard provides trend data from 3 timeframes, which are chosen by World Class SMC automatically, depending on your current timeframe: the higher your current timeframe, the higher timeframes for MTF dashboard will be chosen.

You can toggle the display of MTF dashboard in "MTF | Dashboard" group of settings with "Show dashboard" button. Also you can choose dashboard position in the same group of settings.

Trend data displayed on the MTF dashboard is pretty straightforward, you can see it yourself on the screenshot below:



Additionally we have decided to get rid of Premium Discount Zones and replace it with Fibonacci Levels (Fibo Levels), because many of our users expressed their desire to have more price levels available at their disposal, and because PDZ couldn't fill this need, we decided to go with Fibo in order to satisfy our users.

Let's review the settings of the new feature:

Fibo Levels | Settings

• Show Fibo Levels — toggles on/off the display of Fibonacci levels on the chart;
  
• Show prices on Fibo Levels — toggles on/off the display of prices to the right of Fibonacci levels;
  
• (Fibo toggle (bool), Fibo % (float), Fibo colour) — combination of 3 fields, which toggle on/off the display, define range and colour of a specific Fibo level. Overall Fibo Levels have 5 active levels by default: 0.236, 0.382, 0.500, 0.618. 0.786.
  

You can see an example of live Fibo Levels on the screenshot below:


That's it for now, folks :)

Enjoy the update!

This feature was requested by some of our clients, who expressed strong desire to have orderblocks of internal structure work the same way, as they did in World Class SMC v2, so we decided to give them this opportunity.

Now, when this button is toggled ON, World Class SMC will scan for internal OBs the same way as it did in 2nd (previous) version.

We hope that this simple feature will help our users preserve their strategies, which were built on internal orderblocks of WCSMC v2.
