MC: Smart Money Concepts - Trend (LTF & HTF)
Clear Smart Money Concepts trend/bias for both LTF and HTF
Top arrows = current timeframe (LTF) trend
Bottom arrows = higher timeframe (HTF) trend
HTF is automatically derived from the chart timeframe
Non-repainting, confirmed strictly on candle close
Overview
MC: SMC Trend on LTF & HTF is a clean, stable, and non-repainting trend indicator based on Smart Money Concepts (SMC) principles.
It is designed to keep traders aligned with market structure and directional bias across multiple timeframes, without clutter or misleading intrabar signals.
This indicator focuses on trend/bias clarity, not on plotting full structure lines or zones.
Its goal is to provide a reliable directional framework that can be used alongside discretionary or systematic trading strategies.
Core Logic
Trend and bias are derived from market structure, using Internal structure & Swing structure
Both structures are evaluated using CHoCH (Change of Character) and BOS (Break of Structure) logic.
CHoCH flips the bias only when it occurs against the current bias, preventing unnecessary noise.
BOS confirms the active bias and is displayed using stronger / darker arrows.
An optional Confluence Filter can be enabled to reduce weak or noisy CHoCH signals
Multi-Timeframe Visualization
Top arrows display the trend/bias of the current chart timeframe (LTF).
Bottom arrows display the trend/bias of the Higher Time Frame (HTF).
The HTF is calculated automatically using a rule-based mapping derived from the chart timeframe (a manual override is available if needed).
HTF behaviour is strictly non-repainting:
While the HTF candle is forming, the HTF bias is shown as grey.
A single coloured arrow is printed only when the HTF candle closes.
This guarantees: zero flicker ; correct timing alignment; full consistency between LTF and HTF
Non-Repainting Philosophy
All confirmed signals are validated strictly on bar close, per timeframe.
Historical data never repaints.
Visual updates on live candles are clearly distinguished from confirmed states.
Acknowledgement
This indicator is based on and inspired by the “Smart Money Concepts (SMC)” methodology by LuxAlgo.
I am deeply grateful to LuxAlgo for their outstanding work in structuring and popularizing Smart Money Concepts, which made this project possible.
This script is not a copy, but a clean, independent implementation focused on trend/bias clarity and multi-timeframe consistency, built with great respect for the original concept.
