TrendSync Pro (SMC)🔹 How to Adjust the Higher Timeframe (HTF) Filter
Click the Settings (Gear Icon) on your chart
Go to the "Inputs" tab
Find "Higher Timeframe" (default: 60 for 1-hour)
Change the value to match your strategy:
Scalping (1-5 min charts) → Use 15 or 30 for 15M/30M filter
Day Trading (15-30 min charts) → Use 60 (1H) or 240 (4H)
Swing Trading (1H+ charts) → Use D (Daily) or W (Weekly)
(Example: Trading on 15M? Set HTF to 60 for 1H confirmation.)
📊 Realistic Performance (15M Timeframe)
🔎 Statistical Backtest Results (100+ trades):
~50% Win Rate (Typical for trend strategies)
1:10 Risk-Reward (1% SL, 10% TP) → Profitable if trend holds
Best in Trending Markets (Avoid choppy/ranging conditions)
✅ Why It Works?
Catches strong momentum moves aligned with HTF
Small stops (1%) protect capital, while 10% TP rides trends
50% accuracy is enough when reward >> risk
📈 How to Improve Results?
Combine with SMC Confirmation Tools:
Check Order Blocks (entry near HTF premium/discount zones)
Wait for Liquidity Sweeps (stop hunts before trend reversals)
Confirm with Volume Spike (institutional participation)
Avoid Trading:
During Low Volatility (ADR < 50%)
Right Before Major News Events (FOMC, NFP)
Optimal Pairings:
For Forex: Use with ICT Power of 3 (15M + 1H + 4H)
For Crypto: Combine with Liquidation Heatmap
For Stocks: Align with VWAP + Market Profile

02 SMC + BB Breakout (Improved)This strategy combines Smart Money Concepts (SMC) with Bollinger Band breakouts to identify potential trading opportunities. SMC focuses on identifying key price levels and market structure shifts, while Bollinger Bands help pinpoint overbought/oversold conditions and potential breakout points. The strategy also incorporates higher timeframe trend confirmation to filter out trades that go against the prevailing trend.
Key Components:
Bollinger Bands:
Calculated using a Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the closing price and a standard deviation multiplier.
The strategy uses the upper and lower bands to identify potential breakout points.
The SMA (basis) acts as a centerline and potential support/resistance level.
The fill between the upper and lower bands can be toggled by the user.
Higher Timeframe Trend Confirmation:
The strategy allows for optional confirmation of the current trend using a higher timeframe (e.g., daily).
It calculates the SMA of the higher timeframe's closing prices.
A bullish trend is confirmed if the higher timeframe's closing price is above its SMA.
This helps filter out trades that go against the prevailing long-term trend.
Smart Money Concepts (SMC):
Order Blocks:
Simplified as recent price clusters, identified by the highest high and lowest low over a specified lookback period.
These levels are considered potential areas of support or resistance.
Liquidity Zones (Swing Highs/Lows):
Identified by recent swing highs and lows, indicating areas where liquidity may be present.
The Swing highs and lows are calculated based on user defined lookback periods.
Market Structure Shift (MSS):
Identifies potential changes in market structure.
A bullish MSS occurs when the closing price breaks above a previous swing high.
A bearish MSS occurs when the closing price breaks below a previous swing low.
The swing high and low values used for the MSS are calculated based on the user defined swing length.
Entry Conditions:
Long Entry:
The closing price crosses above the upper Bollinger Band.
If higher timeframe confirmation is enabled, the higher timeframe trend must be bullish.
A bullish MSS must have occurred.
Short Entry:
The closing price crosses below the lower Bollinger Band.
If higher timeframe confirmation is enabled, the higher timeframe trend must be bearish.
A bearish MSS must have occurred.
Exit Conditions:
Long Exit:
The closing price crosses below the Bollinger Band basis.
Or the Closing price falls below 99% of the order block low.
Short Exit:
The closing price crosses above the Bollinger Band basis.
Or the closing price rises above 101% of the order block high.
Position Sizing:
The strategy calculates the position size based on a fixed percentage (5%) of the strategy's equity.
This helps manage risk by limiting the potential loss per trade.
Visualizations:
Bollinger Bands (upper, lower, and basis) are plotted on the chart.
SMC elements (order blocks, swing highs/lows) are plotted as lines, with user-adjustable visibility.
Entry and exit signals are plotted as shapes on the chart.
The Bollinger band fill opacity is adjustable by the user.
Trading Logic:
The strategy aims to capitalize on Bollinger Band breakouts that are confirmed by SMC signals and higher timeframe trend. It looks for breakouts that align with potential market structure shifts and key price levels (order blocks, swing highs/lows). The higher timeframe filter helps avoid trades that go against the overall trend.
In essence, the strategy attempts to identify high-probability breakout trades by combining momentum (Bollinger Bands) with structural analysis (SMC) and trend confirmation.
Key User-Adjustable Parameters:
Bollinger Bands Length
Standard Deviation Multiplier
Higher Timeframe
Higher Timeframe Confirmation (on/off)
SMC Elements Visibility (on/off)
Order block lookback length.
Swing lookback length.
