SMC Structure & Expectation [WavesUnchained]SMC Structure & Expectation - Professional Context & Confirmation Tool
A sophisticated Smart Money Concepts indicator that combines objective market structure analysis with intelligent expectation logic and professional order block validation. Built for traders who value context over signal spam.
4-LAYER ARCHITECTURE
Layer 1: Market Structure
✓ Objective HH/HL/LH/LL detection based on confirmed pivot swings
✓ Internal structure tracking (micro swings within major legs)
✓ Structure alignment detection (Internal + External agreement)
✓ No predictions - pure price action description
Layer 2: Expectation/Bias
✓ Logical hypotheses derived from current structure
✓ "Expect HL" in bullish structure / "Expect LH" in bearish structure
✓ "Expect Continuation" after BOS events
✓ Expectation ≠ Signal (can be wrong, that's the point)
Layer 3: Confirmation (BOS + Order Blocks)
✓ Break of Structure (BOS) detection with 2 modes:
• Conservative: Close-cross (default)
• Aggressive: High/Low-cross with optional close confirmation
✓ Professional Order Block System with 8 intelligent filters
✓ Only creates OBs when expectation is met
✓ Maximum 1 OB per direction (quality over quantity)
Layer 4: Optional Warnings
✓ Trendline break detection
✓ Early Top/Bottom warnings (volume + volatility divergence)
✓ Can be disabled for clean chart focus
PROFESSIONAL ORDER BLOCK SYSTEM
8 Quality Filters (Cascade Logic):
1. BOS-Only Guard : No OB without confirmed Break of Structure
2. Displacement Filter : Minimum 1.0 ATR momentum (customizable)
3. Location Filter : Must be in Premium (bearish) or Discount (bullish) zone
4. Size Filter : 3 modes available:
• Hard Limit: Reject oversized OBs (strict)
• Score Penalty: Allow but reduce priority (balanced, default)
• Disabled: No size filtering (permissive)
5. Volume Filter : Optional relative volume threshold
6. FVG Filter : Optional Fair Value Gap requirement
7. Mitigation Tracking : 30% penetration = mitigated (score penalty)
8. TTL (Time-To-Live) : Auto-delete after 80 bars (prevents chart clutter)
Priority Scoring System (0-100):
• HIGH Priority (>80) : Bright colors, zero transparency
• MED Priority (50-80) : Normal colors, 30% transparency
• LOW Priority (<50) : Faded colors, 60% transparency
Score Components:
✓ Displacement strength (10-30 points)
✓ FVG confluence (+20 points)
✓ Relative volume (+5-15 points)
✓ Premium/Discount location (+10-20 points)
✓ Structure alignment (+30 points if aligned, -15 if conflict)
✓ Leg strength (+15-25 points for strong impulse vs correction ratio)
✓ Size penalty (-0 to -30 points if oversized, Score Penalty mode only)
BAR COLORING MODES
Choose your preferred visual feedback:
1. Off : No bar coloring
2. Structure : Bullish/Bearish/Neutral structure states
3. Expectation : Continuation zones (green = expect bullish, red = expect bearish)
4. BOS + OB Priority (Default):
• Highlights active Order Blocks by priority
• BOS events in bright neon
• Faded structure colors when no OB active
5. Multi-Layer : Combines structure + priority intensity
6. Alignment : Shows Internal/External structure alignment (orange = conflict warning)
INTELLIGENT LOGGING SYSTEM
Priority-based log filtering to reduce noise:
• All : Every event (debug mode)
• MED+ : Only medium and high priority events
• HIGH Only : Only high priority setups
• Smart (Default): Adaptive filtering based on priority + context
Logs include:
✓ Structure changes (HH/HL/LH/LL)
✓ Expectation updates
✓ BOS events with confirmation status
✓ OB creation with full scoring breakdown
✓ OB reactions (Tap/Deep/Failure classification)
✓ Rejection reasons with "Potential Lost" analysis

PHILOSOPHY
This indicator follows the principle: "Context over signals, quality over quantity"
Expectations can be wrong - that's the point. They help you stay aware of the most likely scenario while remaining open to structure changes. When expectation is met AND confirmed by BOS + quality OB, you get a high-conviction setup.
Not a holy grail. Not a signal service. A professional analysis tool.

Daily contextThis indicator automatically marks the Previous Day’s High and Low, as well as the market’s midnight opening price.
These levels are updated at the start of each new trading day and remain visible throughout the entire session.
By providing key daily reference points, the indicator helps establish a clear market context and allows traders to immediately understand where price is positioned relative to the previous day’s range and the daily open.
