Welcome To The SMRT Algo Docs
SMRT Algo is a complete trading system built directly into TradingView — 14 coordinated indicators that work together through a confluence engine to print high-conviction entries with stops and take-profit targets pre-defined on every chart.
New to SMRT Algo?
Start with the 3-step TradingView setup guide. You'll have signals printing on your chart in under a minute.
Open the setup guideWhat's In These Docs
This documentation covers everything from initial setup through advanced strategy use. The sidebar groups content into four buckets: Getting Started for setup and concepts, Indicator Reference for deep dives on each of the 14 indicators (settings, logic, best-use cases), Strategies for combining indicators into trading approaches, and Help for FAQ and troubleshooting.
If you're brand new, follow the Getting Started flow in order. If you're already a member and looking up a specific indicator, jump to the Indicator Reference. If something isn't behaving the way you expect, check Troubleshooting first.
Who SMRT Algo Is Built For
The system is designed for self-directed traders on TradingView who want a unified, repeatable process instead of an ever-growing collection of disconnected indicators. It works across crypto, forex, futures, and stocks, with the sweet spot on the 5-minute through 4-hour timeframes for most modules and 1-minute through 15-minute for the Scalper Bot.
SMRT Algo is not a black-box signal service or auto-trader. It gives you cleaner, rules-based signals — the trading itself is still on you, and trading carries real risk of loss.

Top Questions
The most common things new and prospective members ask. For the full list, see the FAQ page.
How do I get access to SMRT Algo?
After you subscribe on smrtalgo.com, submit your TradingView username on the members portal. Indicators are usually granted to your TradingView account within 5 minutes.
Why can't I find SMRT Algo in TradingView search?
Our indicators are not indexable in TradingView's search bar. To find them, open the Indicators dialog → click the Invite-Only Scripts tab in the left sidebar → scroll to find them.
Does SMRT Algo repaint?
No. Every signal locks at candle close and never moves. The rule is published in our Pine Script.
Do I need a paid TradingView account?
No — the free TradingView plan works to get started. A paid plan (TradingView Essential $14.95/mo or Plus $29.95/mo) is recommended if you want to run multiple SMRT Algo indicators on a single chart.
What's the difference between Essential and Pro?
Essential includes 9 indicators. Pro adds 5 advanced ones — Pro V5, Smart Money Toolkit, SMRT Oscillator, SMRT Volume Profile, and the Multi-Asset Screener. See Essential Vs Pro for the full breakdown.

How It Works
SMRT Algo is delivered as a set of invite-only Pine Script indicators that you add to your TradingView charts. There is no separate platform, browser extension, or desktop app — once your TradingView account is linked, the indicators appear inside TradingView itself under Indicators → Invite-Only Scripts.
The system is structured as a coordinated family of 14 indicators. Each one is a self-contained module with its own purpose (signal core, structure mapping, momentum oscillation, volume profiling, screening), and they're designed to be readable side-by-side on the same chart without visual clutter.
Most members run a 3–5 indicator stack on their main chart and rely on the Multi-Asset Screener to surface fresh setups across the markets they're not actively watching.
TradingView Setup
Create A TradingView Account
If you don't already have one, sign up at tradingview.com. The free plan is fine to get started — a paid plan is recommended if you want to run multiple SMRT Algo indicators on the same chart (the free plan limits you to fewer indicator slots).
Pick The Right Plan
The free TradingView plan works fine to get started. For more flexibility we recommend a paid TradingView plan — Essential ($14.95/mo) if you're on SMRT Algo Essential, or Plus ($29.95/mo) if you're on SMRT Algo Pro and want to run all 14 indicators on a single chart.
Find Your TradingView Username
Log in to TradingView and click your profile icon → Profile settings → copy your username (not email). Then submit it on the SMRT Algo members portal and access will land on your TradingView account shortly after.
Linking Your Account
After you sign up for SMRT Algo, you'll receive a welcome email with a one-click link to your account dashboard. Linking takes about 30 seconds.
- Follow the link in your welcome email, or just go to the members portal and log in with the account you used to subscribe.
- Paste your TradingView username (the one from the previous step) into the form.
- Submit. Indicators are usually granted to your account within 5 minutes.
- Refresh TradingView. You'll find SMRT Algo indicators under
Indicators → Invite-Only Scripts.
Your First Signal
Once your indicators are linked, the fastest way to see SMRT Algo work is to add Pro V5 (or Pro V4 if you're on Essential) to a liquid pair like BTC/USDT on the 15-minute chart.
- Open a TradingView chart on BTC/USDT, 15-minute timeframe.
- Click Indicators at the top → click on the Invite-Only Scripts tab in the left sidebar of the dialog.
- Scroll through the list and click Pro V5 (or V4) to add it to your chart.
- Wait for the next candle to close. If a signal fires, you'll see arrows printed on the chart with entry, stop-loss, and take-profit levels.
The Confluence Engine
The confluence engine is the core decision logic that powers Pro V5 and feeds context into every other Pro-tier indicator. It evaluates five independent factors on every candle close and only allows a signal to print when at least three align in agreement.
The Five Factors
- Momentum — directional pressure measured by adaptive volume-weighted momentum.
- Volume — relative volume vs. recent baseline, including divergence detection.
- Volatility — current ATR positioning and expansion/contraction state.
- Market Structure — break-of-structure events, swing high/low integrity.
- Trend Bias — higher-timeframe trend filter that gates counter-trend signals.
Each factor is independently scored, then weighted and combined. Signals only fire above a conviction threshold, which means SMRT Algo prints fewer signals than a typical setup-finder — that's the design intent. Quality over quantity.
The No-Repainting Rule
SMRT Algo signals lock the moment a candle closes. Once a signal prints — entry, stop-loss, and take-profit levels — those levels are committed permanently to the chart and never move, recalculate, or vanish.
What this means in practice: a signal you see now will look identical when you scroll back to it next month, next year, or any time you re-open the chart. There's no "well, it WOULD have signaled here if you'd been watching." It either fired and stayed, or it didn't.
Signal Anatomy
Every Pro V5 signal prints with six elements directly on the chart:
| Element | What It Tells You |
|---|---|
| ▲ / ▼ arrow | Direction of the signal — long or short. |
| Entry line | The price level the signal recommends entering at (typically the candle close). |
| SL line | Stop-loss level — invalidates the signal if hit. |
| TP1 line | First take-profit target. Member convention is to scale a portion off here. |
| TP2 line | Second take-profit target. Many members scale another portion off here. |
| TP3 line | Third and final take-profit target. Closes the remaining position or trails by structure. |
How you actually manage the trade — full size to TP3, scaled exit at each target, trail stop after TP1, etc. — is your call. A common member approach is to scale a third of the position off at each target (TP1, TP2, TP3) while trailing the stop to break-even after TP1 fills.

Setting Up Alerts
Every SMRT Algo signal indicator exposes native TradingView alerts — you can route them to your phone, email, popup, sound, or webhook (Discord, broker, automation tool) without any extra configuration. This page walks through the setup, the alert conditions you can pick from, and a few common gotchas.
Quick Setup — Step By Step
- Add the SMRT Algo indicator you want alerts on (e.g. Pro V4) to your TradingView chart.
- Right-click anywhere on the chart and select Add Alert, or click the Alert button (clock icon) at the top of the chart.
- In the Condition dropdown, scroll down and select the SMRT Algo indicator (e.g. "Pro V4 — SMRT Algo").
- In the second dropdown, choose the alert condition — Buy Signal, Sell Signal, Confirmed Buy, Confirmed Sell, or Any Alert, depending on the indicator.
- Set the Trigger to
Once Per Bar Close— this matches how SMRT Algo signals lock and prevents premature alerts on intra-bar movement. - Pick your delivery method — push notification, email, popup, sound, or webhook URL.
- Click Create. You're done.
Available Alert Conditions
The conditions you'll see in the dropdown depend on the indicator. The most common ones across the SMRT Algo family:
| Condition | What It Fires On |
|---|---|
| Buy Signal | Standard long signal printed on the chart at candle close. |
| Sell Signal | Standard short signal printed on the chart at candle close. |
| Confirmed Buy | Higher-conviction long signal (V1 Algo and V4/V5 expose this). |
| Confirmed Sell | Higher-conviction short signal. |
| Strong Buy / Strong Sell | Swing Algo's "strong" tier — the highest-probability tier. |
| TP1 / TP2 / TP3 Hit | Fires when a take-profit level is hit (Swing Algo). |
| Stop Loss Hit | Fires when the SL level is hit. |
| Any Alert | Fires on every event the indicator generates — useful for webhook routing. |
Routing Alerts To Discord
For Discord webhook delivery, paste your channel's webhook URL into the Webhook URL field in TradingView's alert dialog. The default alert message format works, but for cleaner Discord embeds you can use TradingView's variable syntax in the message body:
{
"content": "🚨 SMRT Algo {{strategy.order.action}} on {{ticker}} ({{interval}}) at {{close}}"
}
Make sure your Discord webhook is set up first (Discord channel → Integrations → Webhooks → New Webhook → copy URL).
Routing Alerts To A Broker (Automation)
SMRT Algo alerts are webhook-compatible, so you can route them to any broker that accepts incoming webhooks (or to a middleware layer like 3Commas, AutoView, or PineConnector). The Scalper Bot is built specifically for this — it ships as a TradingView strategy with broker-friendly outputs.
Common Issues
Alerts firing repeatedly on the same candle
Switch the trigger from "Once Per Bar" to Once Per Bar Close. SMRT Algo signals are designed around closed-candle logic.
Alerts not firing at all
Double-check the condition dropdown actually points at the SMRT Algo indicator (not a different one on your chart). Also verify that alerts haven't expired — TradingView's free plan auto-expires alerts after a fixed window.
Webhook receiving alerts but doing nothing
Validate the webhook URL by triggering a test alert manually. If the test arrives but the production webhook doesn't, check the alert message format — strict JSON consumers (like brokers) require valid JSON in the message body, not free text.
Pro V5
Pro ExclusivePro V5 is a very advanced, multi-layer-filtered TradingView indicator written in Pine Script v6. Think of it as an all-in-one smart trading assistant — it detects buy/sell signals, analyzes market trend, shows market structure, provides built-in risk management (TP/SL), and adds visual overlays (clouds, bias, sentiment) to help you read the market better.
What Pro V5 Does
The script combines many systems into one cohesive engine:
Core Features
- Trend detection — bullish or bearish bias
- Buy & sell signals with strength scoring
- Multi-timeframe analysis across 5m–1D
- Candle coloring for trend strength

- Trailing Stop
- Risk/Reward mode
Inputs Overview
Main Settings
| Setting | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Timeframe | Use signals from a different timeframe than the chart. |
| Preset | Main Trend = safer signals. Multi Trend = more signals (aggressive). |
| Sensitivity | Higher = fewer signals (later but cleaner). |
| Smooth Tuner (length) | Higher = smoother trend, more accurate signals. |
Visual Settings
- Candle coloring
- Color themes
- Dashboard display
Overlays (Optional Visual Helpers)

How Signals Are Generated
The signal logic runs in 4 stages on every candle close:
- Filters applied — BullFilter / BearFilter screen out noise
- Features confirmation — Features Bull Filter / Features Bear Filter add second-layer agreement
- Main trend calculation — Main Buy or Sell Trend resolved
- Final signals — Buy or Sell printed on the chart
What You See On Chart
Buy Signal
- Green label printed at candle close
- Shows: Strength, Volume, Rating (★)
Sell Signal
- Red label at candle close with the same metrics
Candle Colors
- Green — bullish strength
- Red — bearish strength
- Gradient — trend intensity
Dashboard (Optional)
- Trend per timeframe
- Strength
- Signal status
Multi-Timeframe Feature
Pro V5 simultaneously checks 5m, 15m, 30m, 1H, 4H, and 1D in the background. The dashboard surfaces trend agreement (or disagreement) across timeframes — useful for confirming whether your entry timeframe aligns with the higher-timeframe bias before you act.
Beginner Strategy — Step By Step
- Add the indicator to your chart.
- Keep default settings for the first session — don't tune until you understand the base behavior.
- Look for signals. Only trade when a buy signal appears, the trend is aligned (green candles), and Market Bias supports the direction.
- Confirm with: Market Bias zone (green/red), trend direction, volume strength.
- Use TP/SL. Always set a stop-loss (the opposite signal works as a logical SL). Use TP1, TP2, TP3 to scale out.
SMRT Engineering Filters
The Engineering Filters are the system's signal-cleanup layer. They strip out fake or low-conviction triggers before a buy/sell prints. The trade-off is universal: more filtering = better accuracy but fewer signals; less filtering = more signals but more noise. All filters must agree for a signal to fire — if one fails, no signal.
1. Noise Filter
Removes small random price movements (market noise).
| Direction | Effect |
|---|---|
| Increase value | Stronger filtering · fewer, more reliable signals · slower (later) entries |
| Decrease value | Less filtering · more signals · faster entries · more fake signals |
Use: Scalping → low value (1–3). Swing trading → higher (3–6).
2. Gap Filter
Detects and filters price gaps and sudden jumps.
| Direction | Effect |
|---|---|
| Increase value | Ignores small gaps · focuses only on big moves · cleaner trend detection |
| Decrease value | Detects even tiny gaps · more sensitive · more (noisy) signals |
Use: Crypto → lower (continuous market). Stocks → higher (gaps are common).
3. Range Filter
Filters sideways/ranging market action using a "market steps" logic to detect trend vs. chop. This is one of the most important filters.
| Direction | Effect |
|---|---|
| Increase value | Detects only strong trends · avoids sideways markets · fewer but stronger signals |
| Decrease value | Accepts weak trends · more trades in range · more fake breakouts |
4. Volatility Filter
Filters trades based on market volatility (ATR-based bands).
| Direction | Effect |
|---|---|
| Increase value | Requires high volatility · only trades big moves · safer but fewer trades |
| Decrease value | Works in low volatility · more trades · risk of fake moves |
Use: News trading → high value. Normal market → low/medium.
5. Trend Filter
Uses EMA + slope (ATR-based) to confirm trend direction. Two key inputs:
- EMA length — Increase: slow trend detection, very stable signals, late entries. Decrease: fast trend detection, early entries, more noise.
- Slope threshold — Increase: only strong trends allowed (very strict). Decrease: accepts weak trends, more trades.
Settings Presets
| Preset | Noise | Range | Volatility | Trend EMA |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aggressive (more trades) | 1–2 | 0.3–0.5 | OFF / LOW | 50–100 |
| Balanced (recommended) | 3 | 0.5 | 2–3 | 100–150 |
| Conservative (safe) | 4–6 | 0.7–1.0 | 3–5 | 150–200 |
SMRT Features Filters (Visual Overlays)
These overlays act as extra filters on signals. If enabled, the signal must agree with the overlay for it to print. If disabled, the overlay is ignored.
1. Reversal Cloud
Detects reversal zones using dynamic bands — when price enters the cloud, a reversal becomes possible.
- Increase — wider cloud, fewer signals, only strong reversals
- Decrease — narrower cloud, more signals, more fake reversals
Filter mode:
- None — just show the cloud visually
- Confirmation — trade with the reversal direction
- Contrarian — trade against the reversal (risky but powerful)
Example: price hits the bottom cloud → Confirmation = BUY, Contrarian = SELL.
2. Sentiment Cloud
Shows market sentiment zones — Support (bullish pressure) and Resistance (bearish pressure).
- Increase — smoother sentiment, long-term bias, fewer signals
- Decrease — fast sentiment changes, more reactive, more noise
Use: Above support → bullish. Below resistance → bearish.
3. Price Steps
Creates a step-style trend line (stair-like movement) — excellent for spotting trend continuation.
- Increase — bigger steps, strong trend only, less noise
- Decrease — smaller steps, more signals, more fake trends
Use: Step up → BUY trend. Step down → SELL trend.
4. Market Bias ⭐
Detects the overall market direction (the big picture). One of the strongest filters in the system.
- Increase — very slow bias, strong trend only, safe but late
- Decrease — fast bias changes, early entries, risk of fake flips
Filter mode:
- Confirmation — trade with trend (default-safe)
- Contrarian — trade against trend (aggressive: high risk, high reward)
- None — ignore
5. Pivot Flow
Tracks dynamic support/resistance using pivots, creating a trend line that flips direction.
- Increase — wider pivot detection, strong levels only, less noise
- Decrease — sensitive pivots, more signals, more fake breaks
Use: Line below price → uptrend. Line above price → downtrend.

Summary
Pro V5 is a trend-following system with smart filtering and risk management built in. It helps you find entries, avoid bad trades, and manage risk — all from a single indicator. Treat it as an assistant, not an autopilot: the engine surfaces opportunity, you make the final call.
Smart Money Toolkit
Pro ExclusiveThe Smart Money Toolkit reads market structure the way professional desks do. It auto-detects order blocks, fair-value gaps, premium/discount zones, break-of-structure events, and liquidity sweeps — rendering all of it as clean, non-distracting overlays on your chart.
Walkthroughs
Two video walkthroughs covering how to set up the Smart Money Toolkit, what each layer means on your chart, and how to combine it with the rest of the SMRT Algo system:
Order Blocks
Order blocks mark zones where large institutional buying or selling took place — these are the highest-probability turning points in price action trading.
Manual Vs Dynamic Order Blocks
You can choose between two modes:
- Dynamic (recommended) — only creates blocks at the strongest swing high or low points. Cleaner chart, higher-conviction zones.
- Manual — shows every detected order block. More zones, more flexibility, more noise.
Volumetric Data — The Game-Changer
The toolkit displays the buying and selling pressure that formed around each order block. This is critical for filtering trade quality:
- A bullish order block with high buying pressure and low selling volume is a high-conviction long setup.
- A bullish order block with significant selling pressure is a red flag — skip it. Price often mitigates these blocks quickly.
- The same logic applies in reverse for bearish order blocks.
Filtering With BoS Or CoCh
You can filter order blocks to only show those with a confirmed Break of Structure or Change of Character — strong confirmations that boost the accuracy of every block displayed.
Color Customization
By default, order blocks are gray. Toggle off the grayscale option and bullish blocks turn blue, bearish blocks turn red. You can customize to any color.
Change Of Character & Break Of Structure
BoS and CoCh identify trend changes and continuations in real time. The toolkit shows them on two structural levels:
- Internal market structure — smaller, intraday moves
- Swing structure — larger market shifts
Quick Definitions
- Bullish Break of Structure (BoS) — market creates a higher low, then a higher high.
- Bullish Change of Character (CoCh) — a low followed by a lower high, then a lower low (creating a bearish BoS), and finally a higher high that breaks the previous lower high.
- Bullish CoCh+ — a low occurs, followed by a lower high, then a failed lower low, and finally a higher high that breaks the previous lower high. This is the strongest reversal signature.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
FVGs represent price imbalances between buyers and sellers — three-candle patterns where price gapped without trading. They're frequently revisited and act as great entry or exit points.
How to use them: when price returns to an FVG zone and starts to reject it, that's an entry trigger. Take-profit at the next resistance level or order block. You can customize the toolkit to show only recent FVGs or extend them so they're easier to spot.
Liquidity Sweeps
Liquidity is one of the most important concepts in price action trading. A liquidity sweep happens when price approaches a key level (resistance or support), breaks through it briefly to "grab" stop orders, and then sharply reverses.
The toolkit marks these sweeps automatically. Use them to anticipate false breakouts and enter at the right time — just after liquidity has been swept and price reverses.
High/Low Equilibrium Zones
The toolkit marks strong vs weak highs and lows, plus discount, equilibrium, and premium areas:
- Weak highs — high probability that price breaks through.
- Strong highs — price will likely struggle to break, often bouncing off.
- Discount zone — price is "cheaper than it should be" — favorable for long entries.
- Premium zone — price is overextended — favorable for short entries.
Accumulation & Distribution
These phases reveal whether the market is gathering orders for a breakout (accumulation) or distributing them ahead of a move (distribution):
- Accumulation Zone — cue to enter before a breakout, catching the trend early.
- Distribution Zone — warning that price may drop. Consider exiting longs or shorting.
Equal Highs & Lows
Equal highs and equal lows act as liquidity targets — clusters of stop orders that smart money intentionally hunts. If you spot equal lows, that's a prime spot for a stop-loss below them, or alternatively a place to wait for a liquidity sweep and catch the reversal entry.
Multi-Timeframe Dashboard
The toolkit's dashboard gives you a snapshot of market structure across 15-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, and daily timeframes simultaneously. If you're trading the 15-minute chart but want HTF confirmation, the dashboard tells you instantly whether the higher timeframes are aligned with your trade direction — extra confidence to hold or signal to exit early.
Bar Coloring
Optional feature that colors candles based on detected market structure. Useful for spotting trends and consolidations at a glance — when bars are consistently colored bullish, that's quick visual confirmation to stay in your trade until the trend weakens.
A Complete Trading Strategy
A simple, repeatable approach that combines order blocks with confirmation:
Setting Up
- Add Smart Money Toolkit to your chart.
- In settings, enable Swing Order Blocks — these mark the most important supply and demand zones at major swing turning points.
- Turn off the grayscale option so bullish blocks render blue and bearish render red.
Long Entries
- Wait for a bullish order block to form.
- Wait for price to retest the order block — don't enter just because it appears.
- On the retest, look for a bullish Change of Character or Break of Structure to confirm.
- Once confirmed, enter the trade.
- Stop-loss just below the order block.
- Target the nearest bearish order block or recent highs.
Short Entries
- Wait for a bearish order block to form.
- Wait for price to retest the zone.
- Look for a bearish Change of Character or Break of Structure.
- Enter the short on confirmation.
- Stop-loss just above the order block.
- Target the nearest bullish order block or recent lows.
Pro Tips
- Volumetric data is your filter. When planning a long, skip order blocks with significant selling pressure even if the block is technically bullish. Only trade blocks with dominant buyer activity.
- Watch the speed of approach. If price is charging aggressively into an order block, it's more likely to break through than bounce. A slow, controlled move into the block produces cleaner retests and higher-probability entries.
- Always trade with the higher-timeframe trend. Use the multi-timeframe dashboard. If the daily is bullish, focus on long entries. If bearish, stick to shorts. Trading against the HTF trend dramatically reduces success rate.
Best Used For
Price-action traders who use Smart Money Concepts and want institutional-grade structure mapping without manually drawing every zone. Particularly powerful when combined with Pro V5 — when V5 fires a long signal AND the entry is at a Smart Money order block or after a liquidity sweep, the setup is significantly higher conviction. Many Pro members only take V5 signals that have Smart Money Toolkit confluence.
Multi-Asset Screener
Pro ExclusiveMost traders don't lose because their strategy is bad — they lose because they miss opportunities. You're focused on gold, but Bitcoin moves. You're watching EUR/USD, but NASDAQ just printed a fresh buy signal. By the time you switch charts, the move is already gone.
The Multi-Asset Screener solves this. Think of it as Pro V4 running on multiple markets and multiple timeframes simultaneously, without switching charts. It's a real-time radar that surfaces opportunity the moment it forms, with Pro V4 as your execution engine when you want to act.
Walkthroughs
Two video walkthroughs covering how to configure the screener, set your watchlist and timeframes, and use it as a multi-market radar paired with Pro V4:
What The Dashboard Tracks
Once added, the screener creates a real-time dashboard with the following columns per ticker:
- Price & % Change — current price and percentage move (red = down, blue = up)
- Overall Rating — composite signal strength score (optional, toggle in settings)
- Active Buy/Sell Signal — pulled directly from the Pro V4 engine
- Exit Signals — when a current setup is invalidated
- Trend Trail Direction — bullish or bearish per ticker
- Market Stair Structure — higher highs/lows or lower highs/lows
- Trend Ribbon Direction — same as Pro V4's Trend Ribbon
- Reversal Channel Bias — overbought/oversold zone tracking
- Volatility — ATR-ratio based, helps you filter for active markets
- Strength — RSI-based trend strength on a 0–100 scale
- Multi-Timeframe Signals — Pro V4 signals on 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h, daily for each ticker
You choose which tickers and which timeframes to track — up to 10 tickers at once, with the right-side timeframe columns customizable. Default loads with Apple (4h), Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tesla.
Pairing With Pro V4 — The Radar + Execution Workflow
This is where the screener becomes powerful. Think of it as a radar and Pro V4 as your execution engine:
- You're trading the 15-minute timeframe on EUR/USD.
- On the screener, you notice a fresh buy signal appears on Bitcoin 1-hour.
- Trend Trail flips bullish, Trend Ribbon aligns, strength increases.
- Instead of randomly switching charts, you switch with purpose — open the Bitcoin 1-hour, confirm the structure and trend alignment, then execute.
Pro V4 deployed across multiple markets at once — without the chaos of constantly flipping charts.
Key Inputs & Settings
Bars Back
Defines how far back the screener analyzes data. Default is 500 — you can increase this (e.g. 1,000) for more historical context per ticker. Higher values give the screener more data to make calls but slow down the calculation.
Show Rating
Adds a Rating column to the dashboard with the signal strength metric. Useful when comparing multiple assets and trying to find the strongest setups. The rating shows up/down arrows indicating overall directional bias.
AI Classifier Type
Three modes (same logic as Pro V4):
- Basic — fast, aggressive. Best for scalpers.
- Normal — balanced. Best for intraday traders.
- Advanced — strictest filtering. Best for swing traders and higher timeframes.
Signal Sensitivity & Calibration
Pulled directly from Pro V4. Increase Sensitivity for swing-style filtering (fewer signals), decrease for scalp-style (more signals).
Trading Type
Scalp for fast, shorter-logic signals. Swing for stronger filtering with more stability. If you're a swing trader, pick Swing; if you scalp or daytrade, pick Scalp.
Enhanced Systems
The same filtering suite available in Pro V4 — Fibonacci, Linear Regression, Trend Ranges, True Range, Liquidity Ratio, Dynamic Flow, Moving Average. See the Pro V4 page for details on each filter. These mainly affect the underlying signals, not the dashboard structure.
Indicator Overlay
Toggles the additional Pro V4-derived columns on the dashboard — Trend Trail, Market Stairs, Trend Ribbon, Reversal Channel — so you can monitor multiple structural cues per ticker without flipping between charts.
Optimal Settings Per Market Type
| Market Type | Recommended Settings |
|---|---|
| Crypto | Trading Type: Scalp. Trade only when Volatility > 50%. |
| Forex | Trading Type: Swing. Filter by Trend Ribbon direction. |
| Stocks | Trading Type: Swing. Use Linear Regression filter. Volatility > 50%. |
| Higher Timeframes | AI Classifier: Advanced for the cleanest signals. |
Recommended Workflow
- Check the dashboard for assets with active bullish or bearish signals.
- Filter further: strength > 60% AND volatility > 50%.
- If a ticker passes those filters, open that exact chart.
- Confirm the structure and trend alignment manually.
- Execute the trade.
Combining the screener with support/resistance levels makes it significantly more powerful. Avoid trading during news spikes — volatility during news events tends to be poor for retail.
Multi-Timeframe Trading
For advanced traders, the screener enables structured multi-timeframe trading. Example workflow on a 15-minute strategy:
- 5-minute — early momentum shifts. If the 5m flips bearish during a long position, consider exiting.
- 15-minute — your entry timeframe.
- 1-hour — higher-timeframe confirmation. If 1h gains bullish strength after entry, consider closing half and letting the rest run with an expanded target.
Best Used For
Multi-asset, multi-timeframe traders who want to react intelligently to where opportunity is forming instead of chasing it after the fact. The screener removes blind spots, eliminates emotional reactions to candle noise, and makes structured trading possible. Built from the same engine as Pro V4 but designed to work standalone — most members run both side-by-side.
SMRT Volume Profile
Pro ExclusiveSMRT Volume Profile renders volume distribution across price levels using either a rolling lookback or anchored to a specific date/event. It surfaces high-volume nodes (HVN), low-volume nodes (LVN), value areas, and points of control (POC) — the structural price levels that institutional algorithms pay attention to.
Profile Types
- Rolling profile — recalculates over the last N candles. Best for active intraday context.
- Anchored profile — anchors to a specific candle or date. Best for session, week, or event-based analysis.
- Composite profile — multiple anchored profiles overlaid. Best for finding repeat HVN/POC zones.
Settings Reference
| Setting | Default | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| Profile Mode | Rolling | Rolling / Anchored / Composite. |
| Lookback | 200 candles | How far back to aggregate volume. |
| Value Area % | 70 | Standard 70% value area highlighting. |
| Show POC | On | Render the point of control as a horizontal line. |
SMRT Oscillator
Pro ExclusiveThe SMRT Oscillator is an advanced market momentum and divergence indicator built to help traders identify powerful reversals, early momentum changes, and strength or weakness within trends. It's designed for traders who want more than standard oscillators like RSI or MACD.
Instead of reducing momentum to a line crossing fixed overbought/oversold thresholds, it measures true market energy, momentum angle, and price pressure, and visually guides you through color fills, gradients, and live textual descriptions like "Momentum is positive and increasing" or "Momentum is negative and weakening". This unique mix of quantitative data and human-readable analysis lets you read the chart like a conversation rather than a technical calculation.
Core Concept
At its heart, the SMRT Oscillator is a WaveTrend-based momentum system enhanced with four engines working in concert:
- Divergence analysis — detects when price and momentum disagree
- Heikin Ashi market bias — filters short-term noise and defines background direction
- Momentum angle and velocity tracking — measures slope and acceleration of the curve
- Real-time AI-style interpretation — translates raw math into readable momentum labels
The system doesn't just tell you where momentum is — it tells you how it's changing: growing, slowing, or reversing.
Structure And Components
| Engine | Purpose | Description |
|---|---|---|
| WaveTrend Oscillator | Core momentum tracker | Detects overbought/oversold conditions and measures the strength of movement. |
| Heikin Ashi Bias Filter | Market trend filter | Removes short-term noise and defines the background bullish or bearish direction. |
| Divergence System | Reversal detector | Finds when price and momentum disagree — both regular and hidden divergences. |
| Momentum Angle Analyzer | Motion interpreter | Measures the slope of momentum change and translates it into the readable "emotion" of the market. |
Mathematical Foundation
The indicator runs on a WaveTrend formula, which is more advanced than RSI or MACD. The simplified flow:
- Price smoothing. The raw price (hlc3 = (high + low + close) / 3) is smoothed twice with an exponential moving average — first for speed (n1), then for smoothness (n2).
- Channel deviation. A measure of how far price deviates from its mean. Represents volatility-adjusted strength.
- WT1 and WT2. WT1 is the fast-moving momentum wave; WT2 is the slow-moving signal wave.
- Overbought / oversold zones. Defined by two levels (default ±53). Above +53, the market is potentially overheated (sell zone). Below −53, potentially undervalued (buy zone).
- Heikin Ashi bias. A smoothed open-high-low-close calculation determines the general bullish/bearish direction. Used for coloring and divergence confirmation.
Divergence Logic
A divergence occurs when price moves in one direction while momentum moves the opposite way. The SMRT Oscillator detects four types — automatically marked with circle markers and colored lines, labeled Bull or Bear:
| Type | What It Means | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Regular Bullish | Price makes lower lows, but oscillator makes higher lows. | Early sign of trend reversal upward. |
| Regular Bearish | Price makes higher highs, but oscillator makes lower highs. | Early sign of trend reversal downward. |
| Hidden Bullish | Price makes a higher low, but oscillator makes a lower low. | Trend continuation upward. |
| Hidden Bearish | Price makes a lower high, but oscillator makes a higher high. | Trend continuation downward. |
You don't need to memorize the patterns — the oscillator labels them automatically wherever they form.
Momentum Engine
The momentum engine is what gives the SMRT Oscillator its human-like reading of price behavior. It measures:
- The distance between WT1 and WT2 — momentum pressure
- The angle of the momentum curve — direction and acceleration
- The velocity of change between bars — momentum speed
From these measurements, it builds dynamic labels describing the current state — for example "Momentum rising quickly", "Momentum slowing", or "Momentum flat". Labels appear near the oscillator line or as hoverable text, giving a real-time read of the market's emotional rhythm.
Visual Layout And Colors
| Element | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Light cyan fill | Momentum rising — bullish energy increasing. |
| Pink / red fill | Momentum falling — bearish pressure increasing. |
| Gray zone | Flat or indecisive momentum. |
| Green labels | Momentum acceleration upward. |
| Red labels | Momentum deceleration or bearish turn. |
| Magenta circles | Bearish divergence points. |
| Aqua circles | Bullish divergence points. |
The gradient fill dynamically changes transparency and tone to reflect how strong momentum is — faint color means a weak trend, deep bright color means strong momentum.
Inputs And Settings
Main Settings
| Input | Description |
|---|---|
| Main Logic | Choose between Momentum Divergence (focused on reversal detection) and Momentum Volume (focused purely on speed and direction of momentum). |
| Main Colors | Customize bullish and bearish colors for chart visibility. |
Momentum Divergence Settings
| Setting | Default | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Channel Length (n1) | 10 | How fast the indicator reacts to price. Lower = more reactive. |
| Average Length (n2) | 21 | Controls the smoothness of the WT2 line. Higher = smoother. |
| Reaction To Change Of Direction (src) | 1 | Adjusts how quickly direction changes are detected. |
| Levels (nsc / nsv) | 53 / −53 | Define overbought (top) and oversold (bottom) boundaries. |
| Show Divergence Line | True | Draws visual divergence connections between highs/lows. |
| Show High/Low Levels | True | Draws the +53 and −53 guide lines. |
| Show Reversals | True | Highlights when WT1 crosses WT2 inside the overbought/oversold zones. |
| Show Prediction | True | Displays the label summarizing momentum direction. |
| Show Price Flow | True | Adds a gradient flow showing WT1 strength. |
| Show Bull/Bear Labels | True | Adds "Bull" and "Bear" text near divergence points. |
Trading Interpretation
1 · Spotting Reversals
When WT1 crosses WT2 below −53, it often signals the end of a sell-off — potential buy zone. When WT1 crosses WT2 above +53, it indicates exhaustion — potential short zone.
2 · Confirming Divergences
Use Bull and Bear labels as early warning signs. They're strongest when followed by a crossover in the oscillator.
3 · Reading Momentum Behavior
- Momentum rising — trend gaining strength
- Momentum falling — trend losing strength
- Flat momentum — possible consolidation period
4 · Aligning With Price Action
Combine oscillator signals with Heikin Ashi candles, support/resistance levels, and overall trend direction. For example, a bullish divergence on the oscillator while price touches major support is a high-probability long.
Practical Examples
| Scenario | Oscillator Reading | Price Behavior | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
| WT1 rising sharply from below −53 | Bullish acceleration | Price breaking higher | Uptrend start |
| WT1 crossing WT2 downward above +53 | Bearish exhaustion | Price topping | Early short signal |
| Momentum flat near zero | Neutral zone | Sideways market | Stay out or scalp only |
| Bullish divergence detected | WT1 makes higher low | Price makes lower low | Buy setup |
| Bearish divergence detected | WT1 makes lower high | Price makes higher high | Sell setup |
Strategy Integration
| Style | How To Use |
|---|---|
| Swing Trading | Trade crossovers and divergences on 1H–4H charts. |
| Scalping | Watch for momentum shifts on 5m–15m charts. |
| Position Trading | Focus on the momentum direction labels on daily/weekly timeframes. |
For best results, combine the oscillator with a trend filter (EMA 200 or Supertrend) so you only take signals in the direction of the higher-timeframe trend, and add a volume indicator to confirm momentum strength.
Quick Signal Cheat Sheet
| Condition | Market Signal | Typical Action |
|---|---|---|
| WT1 < −53 and crosses WT2 upward | Oversold reversal | BUY |
| WT1 > +53 and crosses WT2 downward | Overbought reversal | SELL |
| Regular bullish divergence | Reversal setup | BUY early |
| Regular bearish divergence | Reversal setup | SELL early |
| Hidden bullish divergence | Continuation | HOLD long |
| Hidden bearish divergence | Continuation | HOLD short |
| Momentum label "Rising" | Strength increasing | Stay long |
| Momentum label "Falling" | Weakness growing | Reduce exposure |
Pro Tips
- Combine with a trend filter. Use an EMA 200 or Supertrend so you only take signals in the direction of the higher-timeframe trend.
- Look for double divergences. Two consecutive bullish divergences (or two bearish) are extremely powerful and tend to mark the most reliable reversal points.
- Use momentum labels as early confirmation. The text labels often shift slightly before a crossover prints — useful as a "lean" indicator before committing to an entry.
- Avoid flat, colorless oscillator zones. When the oscillator is flat and the gradient is washed out, the market is indecisive. That's the worst time to enter — wait for a clear directional read first.

Pro V4
EssentialPro V4 is more than a buy/sell system — it's an adaptive trading engine built with institutional-grade logic and a multi-layer AI clustering engine. The indicator dynamically picks the most optimal settings for current market conditions, automatically adjusting when volatility changes to keep entries precise instead of delayed.
Every signal is run through several confirmation layers and is scored for strength before it appears on the chart. The result: V4 prints fewer signals than V3 by design — it filters out the weak, low-probability setups so you don't waste time and capital chasing trades that don't meet the criteria.
Walkthroughs
Four video walkthroughs covering Pro V4 setup, signal interpretation, the dashboard, the enhancement suite, and how V4 pairs with the rest of the system:
What Prints On The Chart
When you load Pro V4, you'll see buy and sell signals, reversal bands, take-profit levels, and the dashboard table in the bottom-right corner of your chart. The dashboard's position and size are both customizable.
The Dashboard — At A Glance
The dashboard gives you instant context on five dimensions of the current market:
| Field | What It Tells You |
|---|---|
| Optimal Sensitivity | The sensitivity value Pro V4 suggests for the current asset and timeframe — based on its adaptive engine. |
| Strength | Trend strength on a 0–100% scale. Measures bullish or bearish dominance — a quick read on whether the trend has weight behind it. |
| Volume | Volume sentiment vs historical average. Confirms whether a move is backed by real participation or likely to fade. |
| Volatility | Tracks expansion vs contraction. Helps you anticipate breakouts in high-vol phases and avoid chops during low-vol periods. |
| Trend | Bullish or bearish status with a bull/bear icon — for fast alignment with the dominant market bias. |
Signal Inputs
Signal Type
Three modes that change signal frequency and accuracy:
- Basic — fast, prints roughly 2× the signals of Advanced
- Normal — balanced, sits between Basic and Advanced
- Advanced — most accurate, fewest signals (default)
Signal Sensitivity
Same concept as in V3 — controls signal frequency and reliability. Higher sensitivity value = fewer signals; lower value = more signals.
Signal Calibration (V4-specific)
A new V4-only input that adjusts for the volatility of the asset. Increasing the value decreases the number of signals; decreasing it increases the number of signals. It also shifts the position of signals earlier or later on the chart, acting as a sort of mini-delay as the indicator waits for confirmation.
Trading Type — Scalp Or Swing
Self-explanatory: Scalp (default) for normal buy/sell triggers, Swing to switch the engine into longer-hold mode that captures large directional moves instead of shorter scalp setups. Use Swing for investment-style positions or longer-term trend rides.
Label Offset
Controls the distance between the buy/sell label and the candle. Increase to push labels further from price; decrease to bring them closer. Community-requested feature added during V4 beta.
Candle Coloring
Three modes:
- Gradient (default) — bright blue = very bullish, dark blue = sideways/choppy bullish, bright red = very bearish, purple = sideways bearish. Reads market regime at a glance.
- Default — solid blue for bullish, solid red for bearish.
- None — no candle coloring at all.
The Enhancement Suite
Optional filters that remove noise from the buy/sell signals. Each is independent and has its own sensitivity. Don't overload it — 1–2 filters at a time is the recommended approach.
| Filter | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Fibonacci Number | Smooths small price fluctuations using Fibonacci levels. Filters out false moves, keeps signals cleaner. Higher value = smoother, slower; lower value = faster but more false signals. |
| Linear Regression | Finds overall trend direction using a regression line and looks at volatility. Keeps you in strong trends and avoids choppy sideways noise. Higher value = follows longer-term trend; lower = reacts more quickly. |
| Trend Ranges | Looks at price relative to its recent range. Shows whether the market is in bull or bear mode. Higher value = requires bigger moves before signaling, stronger trades. |
| True Range | Measures market volatility. Signals only trigger when there's enough movement — filters out low-conviction moves. |
| Liquidity Ratio | Spots liquidity sweeps where price hunts highs/lows before reversing. Helps detect fake breakouts and real reversals. |
| Dynamic Flow | Tracks price around adaptive bands (similar to Bollinger Bands) and adjusts signals based on volatility expansion/contraction. Great for breakout and momentum traders. |
| Moving Average | Classic MA crossover filter. Confirms trend direction with EMA crossovers. Higher value = slower, longer-term confirmation. |
Overlay Features (new in V4)
Channel Breaks
Plots dynamic price channels and detects breakout/breakdown points. When price breaks the top channel, that's often the start of a multi-channel break to the upside (and vice versa for the downside). The zones also act as dynamic support and resistance — price often retraces into the lower channel and bounces.
Trend Lines
Upgraded auto-trend-line system from V3. Plots trend lines on the chart and detects channel breaks — when price pushes through a bearish trend line, that's a potential bullish entry trigger.
Trend Ribbon (upgraded Power MA)
The successor to V3's Power MA. Shows the trend in either blue (bullish) or red (bearish), with significantly more filtering than the original Power MA — it doesn't change as quickly, which means cleaner bias reads. Use it as a directional filter: when Trend Ribbon is blue, avoid taking sell signals; when it's red, avoid taking buy signals.
Reversal Cloud
The upgraded version of V3's reversal bands. When price touches or exceeds the upper or lower bands, dots print on the chart — a clear visual that price is overextended and a retracement is likely. You can use these bands as partial take-profit targets when price reaches them.
Market Stairs
Visualizes the market making a series of higher highs / higher lows (bullish stairs) or lower highs / lower lows (bearish stairs). Use it as a position sizing guide: when stairs are bullish, go heavier on long signals; when bearish, lighten up on counter-trend setups.
Trend Trail
Upgraded trailing stop-loss from V3. Acts as dynamic trailing stops that follow the trend — as price moves up after a buy signal, the trail moves up with it, ultimately taking you out at a meaningful structural level rather than a random fixed distance.
Market Structure
Shows changes of character (CoCh) and breaks of structure (BoS). Optional sub-toggles:
- Show Swing — displays pivot highs and pivot lows
- Mapping Structure — switches structure lines between solid and dashed
- Algorithmic Logic — Adjusted Points (default) or Extreme Points. Extreme targets external structures over internal ones.
Risk Manager — Take-Profit & Stop-Loss
Two modes for managing exits:
- Fixed (default) — 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 risk-to-reward ratios with TP and SL labels printed on the chart.
- Dynamic — different TP for each signal, calibrated to that specific setup. No labels — just notifies when each TP is hit.
Both modes work; it's a personal preference. Use Dynamic if you want to maximize each trade individually, or Fixed if you want a consistent rules-based RR system.
Risk Manager Settings
| Setting | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Mode | Fixed or Dynamic — see above. |
| Fill Areas | Toggle the colored fill on TP and SL zones. |
| Remove Exits | Hide the previous TP/SL dots once they've been hit. |
| Sensitivity | Increase to widen the gap between entry, TP, and SL; decrease to tighten. |
Alerts (upgraded in V4)
V4 ships with a brand-new alert system that consolidates everything into a single alert per signal — including the symbol, signal direction, stop-loss, and all three take-profit levels — so you can act on a complete trade plan without flipping back to the chart.
Available alert types:
- Buy / Sell / Both signals
- All TP hits or specific TP1 / TP2 / TP3
- Stop-Loss hits
- Channel Break events
- Trend shifts (via Trend Trail)
To create an alert: configure your alert preferences in the indicator settings, then click the three-dot menu next to the indicator → Add Alert → Any function call → Create. See the Setting Up Alerts page for the full walkthrough.
Recommended Setups
| Style | Recommended Filter Stack |
|---|---|
| Scalping | Fibonacci Number + Moving Average |
| Breakout / Momentum | True Range + Dynamic Flow |
| Trend Following | Linear Regression + Trend Ranges (one at a time) |
| General / All-around | Default Advanced signal type, no filters — let the engine adapt |
How V4 Differs From V3 And V5
V4 sits in the middle of the signal-core lineage. It's more selective than V3 (which prints frequent, lower-conviction triggers) and less selective than V5 (which uses 5-factor confluence and the strictest threshold). Many Pro members run V4 alongside V5 — when V5 stays silent but V4 still flags directional pressure, that's often a setup worth a smaller-size entry.
Best Used For
Active intraday and swing traders who want a single, adaptive signal core that handles everything from entries to exits to alerts. V4 is the most popular Essential-tier signal indicator — if you're new and want one signal core to start with, this is it. Use the dashboard for context, signals for entries, enhancements for filtering, market structure for confluence, the risk manager for trade planning, and alerts to automate your monitoring so you don't have to stare at charts all day.
Pro V3
EssentialPro V3 is a versatile, all-in-one toolkit built from the ground up to function as a standalone indicator across any trading style. Each feature is designed to address a different market condition — trend, range, breakout, reversal — so the indicator stays useful no matter what the market is doing.
Key Features
- Buy & Sell Signals with strength markers (+ for strong)
- Candle Coloring — blue for bullish, red for bearish trends
- Adjustable Signal Sensitivity to match your style
- MA Filter for trend-aligned trade filtering
- Multi-Timeframe Dashboard with customizable size
- Trailing Stop-Loss suggestions on the chart
- Power MA for short-term trend tracking
- ChoCh / BoS Detection — Change of Character + Break of Structure
How To Read It
Look for buy/sell signals printed on the chart with the strength marker — strong signals (marked with +) indicate higher-confidence setups while regular signals are everyday triggers. The candle coloring gives you instant trend context at a glance, and the multi-timeframe dashboard surfaces the bias across higher timeframes without flipping charts.
Settings Reference
| Setting | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Signal Sensitivity | Controls how frequently buy/sell signals fire. Lower = more selective, higher = more frequent. |
| MA Filter Length | Length of the trend filter. Only takes signals aligned with this MA when enabled. |
| Power MA Period | Period for the short-term Power MA used for fast trend tracking. |
| Dashboard Size | Adjust the multi-timeframe dashboard footprint on your chart. |
| Trailing SL Parameters | Tune the trailing stop distance and behavior. |
| Market Structure Display | Toggle ChoCh / BoS lines and labels on/off. |
Best Used For
Pro V3's strength is its breadth — it works as a standalone for any style (intraday, swing, scalp) and complements well with structure-aware indicators like MTF Supply & Demand or Smart Money Toolkit. If you prefer a single indicator that covers signals + trend bias + structure in one screen, V3 is the cleanest choice in the Essential tier.
MTF Supply & Demand
EssentialThe Multi-Timeframe Supply & Demand indicator identifies key supply and demand zones across multiple timeframes and renders them on your current chart — without you needing to switch timeframes. It combines pullback logic for zone detection, dynamic support/resistance, and built-in multi-level TP/SL management into one tool.
Key Features
- Auto-highlighted supply & demand zones based on price-action logic
- Multi-timeframe display — see HTF zones on your active chart
- Customizable timeframe selection per indicator instance
- Dynamic S/R levels with multi-level TP/SL outputs
- Pullback logic for cleaner zone determination
- Real-time zone updates as new structure forms
How To Use It
Set the indicator's higher-timeframe input to 1–2 steps above your active chart (e.g. on a 15m chart, point it at 1h or 4h). The indicator will draw the higher-timeframe supply and demand zones as boxes on your current chart, color-coded by direction. Use these zones as confluence with your signal indicator — long signals near demand zones and short signals near supply zones are higher-probability entries.
Settings Reference
| Setting | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Timeframe Selection | Choose the higher timeframe to pull zones from. Common: 1 step up from your chart. |
| Zone Sensitivity | How strict the zone-detection rule is. Higher = fewer, stronger zones. |
| Display Options | Toggle individual zone categories, change colors, set max zones to display. |
| S/R Levels | Customize the dynamic support/resistance line behavior. |
| TP / SL Levels | Configure the multi-level take-profit and stop-loss outputs. |
Best Used For
Multi-timeframe context without switching charts. Especially powerful for intraday traders who want HTF zones to filter their entries — combine with a signal core like Pro V4 or Pro V5 to only take entries near a fresh, unmitigated higher-timeframe zone.
Reversal Finder
EssentialReversal Finder is built for contrarian traders who hunt market tops and bottoms. It uses mean and deviation calculations combined with bar-pattern analysis to identify when price has stretched far enough from the mean to be exhaustion-prone. Signals only fire when price actually enters one of the configurable reversal bands — not just because price is "extended."
Key Features
- Color-coded reversal bands (green / yellow / red) showing overextension severity
- Dynamic bands that adjust in real time to current volatility
- Configurable sensitivity — controls how many confirmation candles are needed
- Independent buy & sell sensitivities for asymmetric tuning
- Mean & deviation-based math for statistical accuracy
- Bar pattern analysis for precise turn-point detection
How To Read The Bands
The three colored bands indicate increasing levels of overextension. Green bands are normal range, yellow indicates meaningful stretch, and red signals statistically rare overextension where reversal probability is highest. Buy/sell signals only print when price has touched one of the outer bands AND the confirmation pattern resolves — this prevents the indicator from constantly firing on minor wiggles.
Settings Reference
| Setting | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Sensitivity | Controls confirmation candles needed before a signal prints. Higher = later but more reliable signals. |
| Buy Sensitivity | Independent setting for long signals — useful in strongly trending markets. |
| Sell Sensitivity | Independent setting for short signals. |
| Band Threshold Parameters | Tune the exact deviation thresholds for the green/yellow/red bands. |
| Reversal Zone Display | Toggle and customize how zones render on the chart. |
Best Used For
Contrarian entries at exhaustion points — fading parabolic moves or catching turns near key structural levels. Pairs cleanly with Pro V5 for confirmation: when Reversal Finder flags a turn AND Pro V5 prints a counter-trend signal within 1–2 candles, the setup is significantly stronger than either alone. Performs poorly on illiquid markets where reversal signals tend to chop.
Scalper Bot
EssentialScalper Bot is a backtestable TradingView strategy (not just an indicator) — it lets you refine, validate, and automate scalping setups using TradingView's Strategy Tester. It supports both pro-trend and contrarian modes, ships with advanced TP/SL methods including a Donchian Channel-based take-profit, and connects to brokers via webhook for hands-off execution.
Key Features
- Backtesting via TradingView Strategy Tester
- Performance metrics — net profit, max drawdown, profit factor, win rate
- Pro-Trend and Contrarian modes — strategy logic switch
- Advanced TP methods — percent-based or Donchian Channel
- Multiple SL methods with customizable parameters
- Webhook automation for connecting to live broker accounts
- Position size and risk controls built in
Pro-Trend Vs Contrarian Modes
Pro-Trend mode looks for setups in the direction of the active trend — best in steady momentum regimes. Contrarian mode hunts mean-reversion entries — best in ranging or post-extended markets. Use the Strategy Tester to A/B test both modes on your symbol of choice over the last 6–12 months before going live.
Settings Reference
| Setting | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Strategy Mode | Pro-Trend / Contrarian — toggles the directional bias of the strategy. |
| TP Method | Normal (percent-based) or Donchian Channel. Donchian works well in trending markets. |
| TP Level (%) | Take-profit distance as a percentage of entry when in Normal mode. |
| SL Method | Stop-loss method — percent-based or alternative methods. |
| Position Size | How much capital to allocate per trade in the backtest. |
| Webhook URL | Connect to your broker or alerts platform for live automation. |
Best Used For
Active scalpers on the 1-minute through 15-minute timeframes who want a backtestable, automatable strategy rather than a manual signal indicator. Particularly powerful for traders who want to validate an edge with hard numbers before committing capital, and for those who want to automate execution to a broker via webhooks.
V1 Algo
EssentialV1 Algo is the original SMRT Algo signal — the foundation the rest of the system was built on. It's a versatile, dual-signal indicator: standard buy/sell signals fire on pullback logic at average price levels, and a separate confirmed signal (marked with an "x") provides an extra layer of validation to filter false triggers. Built-in dynamic support/resistance and pre-calculated TP/SL levels round it out.
Key Features
- Standard signals — pullback logic at average price levels
- Confirmed signals (x) — second-layer validation to reduce false triggers
- MA Filter for trend-aligned signal generation
- Dynamic support & resistance with chart background plotting
- Pre-calculated TP & SL levels for every signal
- Pullback zone detection baked into the signal logic
- Toggle confirmed-only mode for the most selective entries
Standard Vs Confirmed Signals
Standard signals print frequently and catch most setups, including some that fail. Confirmed signals (marked with an "x" on the chart) are a subset — they wait for additional validation before printing, which means fewer entries but a higher hit rate. Most members start with confirmed-only mode for the first month, then toggle standard signals back on once they're comfortable filtering manually.
Settings Reference
| Setting | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Confirmed Signals Toggle | Show only confirmed (x) signals or both. Confirmed-only is the most selective mode. |
| MA Filter Length | Length of the trend filter MA. Common: 50 or 100 EMA. |
| S/R Calculation Parameters | Tune the dynamic support/resistance band sensitivity. |
| TP / SL Level Inputs | Customize the pre-calculated take-profit and stop-loss distances. |
| Pullback Zone Sensitivity | How wide the pullback zone for signal triggers is. |
Best Used For
General-purpose trading across any timeframe. V1's appeal is its built-in TP/SL management — a feature that's rare in standard indicators — combined with the dual-signal layering. Good first indicator for new members who want simple, rules-based entries with risk levels already on the chart.
SMRT MACD
EssentialSMRT MACD is a refined version of the traditional MACD designed to be a smoother, more reliable trend-follower. Crucially, it focuses on the histogram rather than fast/slow MA crossovers — which dramatically reduces sensitivity to short-term price noise and helps you stay in trends through minor pullbacks instead of getting whipsawed out.
Key Features
- Histogram-focused — no fast/slow MA lines to clutter the chart
- Reduced sensitivity to price fluctuations and short-term noise
- Trend continuation signals — designed to keep you in the move
- Profit-taking signals via histogram color changes
- Smoothed histogram for fewer, more meaningful changes
- Color-coded — blue for bullish bias, red for bearish bias
- Holds positions longer through minor counter-trend pullbacks
Why The Histogram Focus Matters
The traditional MACD generates entry/exit signals on fast-line / slow-line crossovers, which whipsaws frequently in choppy markets. SMRT MACD removes the crossover focus entirely and makes the smoothed histogram the primary read. The result: you stay in trends longer because minor pullbacks don't generate false exits, and you only consider taking profit when the histogram itself changes color — a much higher bar than a crossover.
Settings Reference
| Setting | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Histogram Smoothing | Higher smoothing = fewer color changes, slower exits. |
| Signal Threshold | How far the histogram must move before a signal fires. |
| Bullish / Bearish Colors | Customize the color scheme to match your chart theme. |
| Alerts | Configure alerts on histogram color flips for profit-taking notifications. |
Best Used For
Trend traders who want to ride moves longer without getting shaken out by minor pullbacks. Pairs cleanly with Pro V5 — when SMRT MACD's histogram is in the same direction as a V5 signal, the setup is higher conviction. Particularly powerful on the 1-hour and 4-hour timeframes for swing traders who want a reliable trend-confirmation tool.
Swing Algo
EssentialSwing Algo is purpose-built for swing traders working on the 1-hour and higher timeframes. It combines clear bar coloring, two-tier signal strength (weak and strong), an EMA filter for trend alignment, and pre-calculated TP/SL levels with risk-reward ratios already done for you — no manual math required.
Key Features
- Bar coloring — red bearish, green bullish for instant trend bias
- Two-tier signal strength — weak signals for early/aggressive entries, strong signals for higher-probability setups
- EMA filter for trend-aligned trade selection
- Pre-calculated TP1, TP2, TP3 levels printed on the chart
- Pre-calculated SL level matched to risk-reward profile
- Designed for higher timeframes (1H+) to filter intraday noise
Weak Vs Strong Signals
Weak signals are early alerts — useful for aggressive entries when you want exposure before the move fully confirms, or as a heads-up to start watching more closely. Strong signals are the primary trade triggers — these are higher-probability setups where the indicator's full criteria are met. Most members trade strong signals only and use weak signals as watch-list flags.
Settings Reference
| Setting | What It Does |
|---|---|
| EMA Filter Toggle | Turn the trend-alignment filter on/off. |
| EMA Filter Length | Length of the trend EMA. Common: 50 or 100 on the 4h timeframe. |
| Signal Strength Threshold | Minimum strength score before a "strong" signal prints. |
| Risk-Reward Ratio | Configure the R:R the TP levels are calculated from. Default targets give 1:1 / 1:2 / 1:3 R:R. |
| TP1 / TP2 / TP3 Levels | Customize the three take-profit distances individually. |
| SL Level | Stop-loss distance — typically derived from recent swing. |
Best Used For
Swing traders holding positions for days to weeks who want a clean signal with risk levels pre-defined. Particularly suited for traders who want to avoid the noise of intraday charts and only act on higher-timeframe setups. Pairs well with MTF Supply & Demand on the daily/weekly to confirm entries are happening at meaningful structural levels.
Trend Pivot Oscillator
EssentialThe Trend Pivot Oscillator (TPO) is a momentum oscillator built to identify overbought and oversold conditions and pinpoint potential reversal or re-entry points inside existing trends. Unlike a classic RSI — which generates constant false signals during strong trends — TPO uses pivot-based logic to stay accurate even when markets are persistently trending.
Key Features
- Overbought / oversold zone detection with pivot-aware thresholds
- Green dots mark oversold conditions / buying opportunities
- Red dots mark overbought conditions / selling opportunities
- Re-entry identification within active trends
- Pullback & consolidation detection for short-term reset points
- Trend confirmation when oscillator + price agree
How To Read The Dots
The most powerful use of TPO is reading dots in the context of the prevailing trend:
- Green dots in a downtrend = "oversold inside a downtrend" — usually a short-term bounce, often a re-entry opportunity for shorts on the bounce
- Red dots in an uptrend = "overbought inside an uptrend" — usually a pullback, often a re-entry opportunity for longs on the pullback
- Green dots in an uptrend = pullback into oversold territory, high-conviction continuation entry
- Red dots in a downtrend = bounce into overbought territory, high-conviction continuation entry
Settings Reference
| Setting | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Sensitivity | Affects how aggressive the overbought/oversold calculation is. Higher = more dots, lower = more selective. |
| L [1–3] | Short-TPO signal sensitivity tier. Use higher L for cleaner, less frequent dots. |
| Zone Thresholds | Customize the exact OB/OS bands. |
| Display & Color | Toggle dot visibility, customize colors to match your chart. |
Using TPO For Scale-Ins / Re-Entries
One of the most undervalued uses of TPO is scaling into existing trades. Instead of treating each TPO dot as a fresh entry, treat it as a re-entry or scale-in opportunity in the direction of your active trade.
Sell Trade Example
You're in a bearish setup — let's say you entered a sell at 1926. As price moves down through the trend, TPO will print bearish (red) dots at multiple points along the way. Each red dot is a high-conviction re-entry zone:
- Wait for the next bearish TPO dot to print after your initial entry.
- Enter a scale-in (or re-entry) at the close of that candle.
- Repeat at each subsequent bearish TPO dot down the trend until the trend exhausts.
In a clean downtrend example, price moved from ~1926 all the way down to ~1817 with multiple TPO dots along the way — each one a valid scale-in trigger.
Buy Trade Example
The mirror approach for longs. Once you're in a bullish position:
- Wait for green TPO dots to print as price grinds higher.
- Each green dot is a re-entry / scale-in trigger — enter at the candle close after the dot prints.
- Continue scaling in while the bullish TPO dots keep firing.
This works particularly well on trades that ultimately hit TP3 — the multiple TPO confirmations along the way let you compound size on a winning trade rather than just sitting on a single entry.
Best Used For
Fine-tuning entry timing inside trending markets and compounding size into winning trades via scale-ins. TPO is the cleanest tool in the Essential tier for finding pullback re-entries — when your higher-timeframe trend is up and TPO prints a green dot on the lower timeframe, that's your signal to look for an entry. Combine with Pro V4 / V5 for confirmation: TPO dot + V5 signal in the same direction within 1–2 candles is a high-conviction setup.
Trend-Following Strategy
Best for: intraday traders on the 15-minute through 1-hour timeframes, in trending market regimes.
Indicator Stack
- Pro V5 (signal core, conviction threshold 70+)
- SMRT MACD (momentum confirmation)
- MTF Supply & Demand (HTF zone context)
Setup Rules
- Wait for Pro V5 to print a signal aligned with the higher-timeframe trend.
- Confirm SMRT MACD shows momentum in the same direction.
- Verify the entry isn't into a strong opposing HTF supply/demand zone.
- Take 50% off at TP1, trail to break-even on the remainder, exit at TP2 or by structure flip.
Reversal Trading Strategy
Best for: traders who want to fade exhaustion at structural levels.
Indicator Stack
- Reversal Finder (primary trigger)
- Pro V5 with HTF Trend Filter off (counter-trend signal allowed)
- Smart Money Toolkit (order block / FVG confluence)
Setup Rules
- Reversal Finder flags a potential turn at a Smart Money order block.
- Wait for Pro V5 to confirm with a counter-trend signal within 1–2 candles.
- Tight stop above/below the rejection wick.
- Target the next structural level (previous swing high/low).
Scalping Strategy
Best for: active traders on the 1-minute through 5-minute timeframes during high-volume sessions.
Indicator Stack
- Scalper Bot (primary signal)
- SMRT Volume Profile (anchor: today's session)
- Trend Pivot Oscillator (momentum filter)
Swing Trading Strategy
Best for: traders holding positions for days to weeks.
Indicator Stack
- Swing Algo (primary signal, 4h or daily)
- Smart Money Toolkit on weekly TF (HTF context)
- SMRT Volume Profile (composite, weekly anchored)
Combining Indicators
The single biggest mistake new members make is loading all 14 indicators on one chart. Don't. Pick a 3–5 indicator stack appropriate to your trading style and let the rest run on a separate watchlist chart or in the screener.

Frequently Asked Questions
Top questions members ask before and after joining. If yours isn't here, reach out via the member Discord or email support@smrtalgo.com.
Account & Setup
How do I get access to SMRT Algo?
After you subscribe on smrtalgo.com, you'll receive a welcome email and access to the members portal. Submit your TradingView username on the portal and the indicators are usually granted to your TradingView account within 5 minutes.
How fast can I get started?
Median setup is under a minute from welcome email to first indicator on chart. The welcome email includes a quick walkthrough.
Do I need a paid TradingView account?
No — the free TradingView plan is fine to get started. A paid TradingView plan is recommended if you want to run multiple SMRT Algo indicators on the same chart. Essential ($14.95/mo) covers 5 indicator slots; Plus ($29.95/mo) covers 10, which fits all 14 if you want them on one chart.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes — two clicks in your account dashboard. Membership is month-to-month with no long-term contracts. We email you 3 days before every renewal so there are no surprise charges.
Can I switch my linked TradingView username later?
Yes. Log in to the members portal, update the linked username, and access reroutes to the new account within minutes. Useful if you switch TradingView accounts or want to share access between trading and screening accounts.
Indicators & Signals
Why can't I find SMRT Algo in the TradingView indicator search?
Our indicators are not indexable in TradingView's main search bar. Typing the name will return no results. To find them, open the Indicators dialog in TradingView, click the Invite-Only Scripts tab in the left sidebar, and scroll through the list manually — they'll be listed there once your account is linked.
Does SMRT Algo repaint?
No. Every signal locks at candle close and never moves. The rule is published in our Pine Script and we'd publicly disclose any breach.
What's the difference between Essential and Pro?
Essential includes 9 indicators — enough to find, qualify, and execute setups across every market. Pro adds 5 advanced indicators including the Pro V5 signal core, Smart Money Toolkit, SMRT Oscillator, SMRT Volume Profile, and the Multi-Asset Screener. See the Essential Vs Pro page for the full breakdown.
What markets and timeframes does it work on?
Anything TradingView charts: crypto, stocks, forex, futures. Sweet spot for most indicators is the 5-minute through 4-hour timeframe. Scalper Bot is tuned for 1m–15m. Swing Algo is tuned for 1h–daily.
Can I run all 14 indicators on a single chart?
Yes — but you'll need TradingView's Plus plan ($29.95/mo) or higher to fit them in your indicator slot allowance. Most members run 3–5 indicators per chart and use the Multi-Asset Screener (Pro tier) for everything else. See the recommended stacks on the Strategies page.
How do I set up alerts on SMRT Algo signals?
Most SMRT Algo indicators expose native TradingView alerts. Right-click any signal indicator on your chart → Add Alert, then choose the alert condition from the dropdown. Alerts route to your phone, email, or webhook (e.g. Discord) like any other TradingView alert.
Trading & Performance
Will SMRT Algo make me money?
SMRT Algo is a system, not a guarantee. It gives you cleaner signals and a defined process. The trading itself is still on you, and trading carries real risk of loss. Anyone in this category promising guaranteed profits is selling fiction — we won't.
What's the win rate?
Win rates vary materially by ticker, timeframe, and market regime. We don't publish a blanket number because it would mislead. Our member Discord posts every signal in real time — that's the truth.
Are the signals automatic or manual?
By default, signals are manual — they print on your chart and you decide whether to take them. If you want automation, the Scalper Bot ships as a TradingView strategy that can be webhook-connected to brokers for automated execution.
Can I automate signals to my broker?
Yes, via TradingView's webhook system. Scalper Bot is built specifically for this with native broker-friendly outputs. For other indicators, you can route their TradingView alerts to a webhook receiver of your choice.
Discord & Support
What's in the member Discord?
Daily morning market briefs, weekly market plans, member-only signal channels, weekly office hours with the team, strategy archives, and a working community of 15,000+ traders. The room is the biggest reason members stay past month one.
How do I get help if I'm stuck?
The fastest channel is the #support channel in the member Discord — the team and veteran members respond there during market hours. For account or billing issues, email support@smrtalgo.com and we typically resolve within an hour during business hours.
Troubleshooting
I Don't See SMRT Algo Indicators In TradingView
Make sure your TradingView account is linked correctly in your SMRT Algo dashboard. If you've just linked, wait 5–10 minutes and refresh TradingView. Check under Indicators → Invite-Only Scripts, not the public scripts list.
The Indicator Loaded But No Signals Are Printing
Pro V5 is selective by design. Check that you're on a liquid ticker and a supported timeframe (5m–4h). If still no signals after several hours, lower the conviction threshold from 70 to 60 to confirm the indicator is alive.
Signals Look Different From The Discord Posts
Check your settings — particularly Sensitivity Profile and HTF Trend Filter. If your settings differ from the default, your chart will print a different set of signals than what the Discord posts.
I Was Charged But Don't Have Access
Send a screenshot of your payment receipt to support@smrtalgo.com. We typically resolve these within an hour during business hours.
