Flow-Graded SMC

How the Algorithm Works

Flow-Graded SMC covers the standard Smart Money Concepts toolkit, market structure breaks at two degrees, order blocks, fair value gaps, liquidity pools, and premium/discount context, with four things most SMC tools handle poorly fixed. Every structure break is graded, not just plotted. Each BOS or CHoCH is checked against how far price actually displaced beyond the level and against the net order-flow direction of the breakout leg itself, then marked as confirmed, displaced-but-against-the-flow, or thin. On symbols with no real volume data, it grades on displacement alone rather than pretending flow data exists. Every order block and fair value gap carries a live Zone Score from 0 to 100 at the moment it forms, built from leg displacement, the order flow of the breakout leg, whether a prior liquidity pool was swept into it, higher-timeframe alignment, and its position relative to the current premium/discount range. If an input is unavailable, its share of the score is dropped and the rest rebalances, so the 0 to 100 scale always means the same thing. Zones below your minimum score threshold are never drawn, which keeps the chart from filling up with low-quality levels. A regime classifier tells the difference between a trending market and a ranging one. While ranging, internal structure noise is suppressed and the active range and its liquidity are drawn instead, with the first displaced break out of that range flagged separately since it has historically been the cleanest signal the method produces. Pivot lengths and every zone, gap, and tolerance threshold auto-scale to whatever timeframe you drop it on, so it does not need re-tuning per chart. A draw-on-liquidity target projects to the nearest opposing pool after a CHoCH, and a plain-English read line in the dashboard states the current bias, location, and target in one sentence.
