🏦 Smart Structure Origin (SMC) for cTrader

Smart Structure Origin is a professional algorithmic indicator designed for cTrader that automatically identifies high-probability Supply & Demand zones based on Smart Money Concepts (SMC).

Unlike standard zigzag indicators, this algorithm validates zones by checking for Explosive Price Action (Momentum) to ensure only institutional-level orders are highlighted.

🚀 Key Features

• Automated Market Structure: Detects Swing Highs and Lows using customizable depth.
• BOS Detection: Identifies Break of Structure events to confirm trend continuations.
• Momentum Validation: Includes a unique MaxConsolidation filter. Zones are only drawn if price leaves the origin area aggressively (Sharp Departure), filtering out weak setups.
• Dynamic Mitigation: Zones automatically disappear or are marked as invalid once price retests and breaks through them.
• Fully Customizable: Adjust colors, opacity, lookback periods, and swing sensitivity.

🛠️ Installation

1. Download the .algo file (or compile the source code).
2. Double-click to install into cTrader.
3. Open cTrader, press F11 (or add indicator), and search for SmartStructureOrigin.

⚙️ Parameters

Parameter	Default	Description
Lookback Period	300	Number of candles to analyze historically.
Swing Depth	5	Sensitivity for detecting Swing Highs/Lows.
Max Consolidation	5	[Critical] Maximum candles allowed for price to leave the zone. Ensures momentum.
Colors	Green/Red	Customize Supply and Demand zone aesthetics.

💻 Code Logic Snippet

The core strength of this indicator lies in the Sharp Departure logic, ensuring we only trade with momentum:

// Logic to ensure price leaves the zone aggressively
private bool IsSharpDeparture(int originIndex, double limitPrice, bool isDemand)
{
// Checks strictly within the 'MaxConsolidation' window
int checkLimit = Math.Min(originIndex + MaxConsolidation, Bars.Count - 1);
// ... verification loop
}
