This all-in-one indicator displays real-time market structure (internal & swing BOS / CHoCH), order blocks, premium & discount zones, equal highs & lows, and much more...allowing traders to automatically mark up their charts with widely used price action methodologies. Following the release of our Fair Value Gap script, we received numerous requests from our community to release more features in the same category.
//------------------------------------//
Version 1.x has missing functions
+ PDArray tracking (created, mitigated, filled)
+ Information about Premium, Discount PDArray
+ Setting for notifications and different notification methods
So I updated version 2.x adding these functions:
1. Add option to extend recent top to last bar
2. Extend valid OB to curent; Style and display name of OB (in settings); Seperate Premium/Discount OB by swing length
3. Extend valid FVG to curent; Style and display name of FVG (in settings); Seperate Premium/Discount FVG by swing length
4. Extend PMhl, PWhl, PDhl to curent;
5. Add alert settings

"Smart Money Concepts" (SMC) is a fairly new yet widely used term amongst price action traders looking to more accurately navigate liquidity & find more optimal points of interest in the market. Trying to determine where institutional market participants have orders placed (buy or sell side liquidity) can be a very reasonable approach to finding more practical entries & exits based on price action.
The indicator includes alerts for the presence of swing structures and many other relevant conditions.

ConclusionThis indicator highlights all relevant components of Smart Money Concepts which can be a very useful interpretation of market structure, liquidity, & more simply put, price action. The term was coined & popularized primarily within the forex community & by ICT while making its way to become a part of many traders' analysis. These concepts, with or without this indicator do not guarantee a trader to be trading within the presence of institutional or "bank-level" liquidity, there is no supporting data regarding the validity of these teachings.
Good implementation of the Lux method. Is there a possibility to turn on and off alerts (push, email, MT4)? Please add this feature. [edit: notification options implemented a day later, thanks!]
