Market Structure Framework (SMC/ICT)

Market Structure Framework (SMC/ICT) — TradingATH

Precision. Discipline. Foundation.

This professional-grade indicator defines and visualizes the core architecture of price — the true Market Structure Framework. It automatically identifies Breaks of Structure (BOS), Changes of Character (CHoCH), and Equal Highs/Lows, while dynamically outlining Swing Legs, Internal Structures, and Premium/Discount Zones with institutional accuracy.

Built for Traders applying Smart Money Concepts (SMC/ICT), this framework delivers the pure structure layer of market analysis — clean, objective, and data-driven — enabling precise interpretation of directional bias and liquidity flow.

What You’ll See

• Swing & Internal Structures — BOS and CHoCH levels plotted in real time, clearly distinguishing major (swing) and minor (internal) shifts.
  
• Equal Highs & Lows — Automatic detection and labeling of key liquidity points (EQH / EQL) to reveal potential liquidity targets.
  
• Strong & Weak Highs/Lows — Dynamic identification of the current dominant swing extremes, marking the prevailing directional intent.
  
• Premium / Discount Zones — Fully adaptive pricing zones mapped between structural highs and lows to show premium, equilibrium, and discount territories.
  
• Multi-Timeframe Levels — Optional visualization of higher-timeframe highs and lows for top-down structural confluence.
  
• Color-Adaptive Candles — Optional structural candle coloring that mirrors current bullish or bearish bias for rapid visual alignment.
  

Features

• Smart Structure Detection — Algorithmically distinguishes between swing and internal BOS/CHoCH, ensuring accuracy across all market conditions.
  
• Dynamic Updates — Structure labels and zones update in real time, automatically maintaining relevance as new data forms.
  
• Minimalist Visualization — A refined aesthetic with balanced spacing, subtle colors, and precise alignment — designed for institutional clarity.
  
• Confluence Filtering — Optional internal confluence filter to reduce noise and highlight significant structural breaks.
  
• Zone Framework Integration — Seamlessly integrates with liquidity and imbalance concepts while maintaining a clean, independent presentation.
