ICT Donchian Smart Money Structure Indicator MT4/5 – Free [TradingFinder]


Indicator Overview

The ICT Donchian Smart Money Structure (SMC) Indicator is designed for the Metatrader 4 and Metatrader 5 platforms. It combines Donchian channel lines with Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Inner Circle Trader (ICT) style market structure analysis. This indicator helps traders identify market structure shifts and price behavior to determine trend direction.


Key Features and Methodology

Market Structure Analysis

  • Identifies major and minor trends by marking:
    • Breaks of Structure (BOS)
    • Changes of Character (CH)
  • Major bullish or bearish trend shifts are indicated by breaks of highs/lows and are color-coded (e.g., red for bullish change of character, blue for bullish BOS).
  • Minor trends and corrections within major trends are also identified, allowing for multi-timeframe or nested trend analysis.

Donchian Lines

  • Draws six Donchian lines based on pivot calculations over a 20-period lookback.
  • These lines help identify potential trend reversals or corrections when price crosses above the upper Donchian band or below the lower band.
  • Example signals:
    • Price crossing above the upper Donchian band may signal a bearish correction or trend reversal.
    • Price crossing below the lower Donchian band may indicate a bullish correction.

Trend Confirmation

  • Price positioning relative to Donchian lines confirms bullish or bearish market trends.
  • The indicator visually highlights trend continuation and reversal points by combining Donchian bands with smart money structure breaks.

Settings

The indicator includes two main input parameters:

  1. Enable/disable Donchian lines display.
  2. Enable/disable Smart Money Structure (SMC) market structure display.
