SMC Edge Pro EA
Institutional order flow, automated. Order blocks, FVGs, liquidity sweeps, and BOS/CHoCH structure — all in one engine.
SMC Edge Pro is the flagship Smart Money Concepts system at Expert Advisor HQ. It fuses institutional order-flow concepts — bullish/bearish order blocks, fair value gaps (FVG), liquidity sweeps, break of structure (BOS), market structure shifts (MSS), and change of character (CHoCH) — into a single deterministic engine. Instead of a hundred arbitrary rules, the EA builds a live structural map of price: where smart money entered, where liquidity pools sit, and where structure breaks. Entries fire on confluence — for example, a bullish CHoCH + price mitigating a fresh demand order block that formed inside an unfilled FVG. Ships with ten tuned preset files and a visual order-flow dashboard.
What makes it different.
- Real-time structural engine — detects and tracks HH/HL/LH/LL swing sequences, BOS, MSS, and CHoCH on the trading timeframe plus one optional higher timeframe
- Order block discovery — identifies bullish and bearish OBs with freshness tracking, mitigation counting, and volume-imbalance confirmation
- Fair value gap (FVG) engine — maps bullish/bearish FVGs, tracks partial and full fills, and filters stale gaps past a configurable age
- Liquidity sweep detection — flags equal-highs/equal-lows stop runs and optional inducement/raid patterns before counter-entries
- Six confluence profiles — from strict (CHoCH + OB + FVG + HTF trend) to relaxed (any SMC signal) so you can dial the trade count
- Premium/discount zone filter — only longs in discount, only shorts in premium, calibrated off the last valid swing leg
- Dual timeframe bias — optional HTF structural bias from H4/D1 feeds the LTF execution engine
- Ten tuned preset files — EURUSD H1, GBPUSD H1, USDJPY H4, XAUUSD M15, XAUUSD H1, NAS100 H1, US30 H1, SPX500 H4, BTCUSD H4, plus Conservative multi-asset
- Prop-firm grade risk — fixed or percent-risk sizing, daily DD cap, max-DD kill switch, per-trade cap, news blackout window
- On-chart dashboard — current structural bias, live OB/FVG stack, last BOS/CHoCH timestamp, open R-multiple, session-to-date PnL

Every input, documented.
| Parameter | Default | What it controls |
|---|---|---|
| SMC_BiasTimeframe | H4 | Higher timeframe that feeds the structural bias filter. |
| SwingStrength | 3 | Bars each side required to validate a swing high/low. Higher = fewer but stronger structures. |
| RequireCHoCH | true | Block entries until a Change of Character confirms the structural shift. |
| UseOrderBlocks | true | Require a fresh unmitigated order block at the entry zone. |
| MaxOBMitigations | 1 | Maximum number of prior mitigations an OB can have before it is considered stale. 0 = must be totally fresh. |
| UseFVG | true | Require an unfilled FVG inside the entry zone for confluence. |
| MinFVGPips | 3 | Minimum FVG height in pips to count as valid confluence. Filters micro-gaps. |
| RequireLiqSweep | false | Require a liquidity sweep (equal-highs/lows taken) before counter-entries. |
| PremiumDiscountFilter | true | Restricts longs to the discount zone and shorts to the premium zone of the last valid leg. |
| ConfluenceProfile | Balanced | Strict, Balanced, or Relaxed — presets for how many SMC layers must align. |
| EntryMode | LimitAtOB | LimitAtOB (pending at OB midline), MarketOnMitigate (market fill on OB touch), or StopBreakout. |
| StopLossMode | StructureSwing | StructureSwing (beyond protected swing), ATR multiple, or fixed points. |
| ATRStopMult | 1.5 | Stop-loss distance as an ATR multiple when ATR stop mode is active. |
| TakeProfitMode | NextLiquidity | NextLiquidity (project to next pool), RR multiple, or fixed points. |
| PartialTP_RR | 1.0 | Close configured partial percentage at this R-multiple, then trail the remainder. |
| RiskPerTradePct | 0.75 | Equity % risked per trade. Lower default than other flagships because SMC setups can cluster. |
| DailyLossCapPct | 3.0 | Halts trading if equity drops this much in a single day. |
| MaxDDCapPct | 10.0 | Global kill switch — disables the EA if drawdown exceeds this from peak. |
| NewsBlackoutMin | 30 | Minutes before and after high-impact news when no new entries will fire. |
| MagicNumber | 20260424 | Per-instance identifier for multi-chart operation. |

Frequently asked.
Is this just another ICT-style indicator repackaged?
No. Most ICT/SMC tools stop at drawing boxes. SMC Edge Pro builds a structural graph in memory — every swing, every BOS, every CHoCH, every OB, every FVG is a tracked object with state. Entries fire only when multiple objects align on the same side at the same price zone. It is an engine, not an overlay.
What's the difference between BOS, MSS and CHoCH?
Break of Structure (BOS) is continuation — the trend makes another higher-high (in an uptrend) or lower-low (in a downtrend). Market Structure Shift (MSS) is a failure to make the next continuation leg. Change of Character (CHoCH) is the first opposite-direction break after MSS — this is the earliest systematic signal of a reversal. The EA uses CHoCH as the primary regime-flip trigger.
How do order blocks and FVGs combine?
A qualified bullish entry requires: (1) bullish CHoCH on LTF, (2) price pulling back into a fresh unmitigated demand order block, (3) that OB overlaps or contains an unfilled bullish FVG, and (4) price is in the discount zone of the last valid leg. Four confluences = high-probability fill at the institutional entry.
Does it work on XAUUSD and indices?
Yes — the H1 XAUUSD and H1 NAS100 presets are among the top performers in backtests. SMC concepts are asset-agnostic because they're based on price structure, not volatility regime. Use wider stops on indices via the ATR stop mode if your broker's spread is above 2 points.
Is it prop-firm safe?
Yes. The default 0.75% risk-per-trade and 3% daily-loss cap are set specifically for 5%/10% challenges. The news blackout and premium/discount filter reduce the number of low-quality setups that cluster during noisy sessions.
Does it repaint?
No. All structural objects are committed on confirmed swings — once a swing is validated (N bars each side), it never moves. OB mitigation and FVG fills are tracked bar-by-bar and logged.
How is this different from the MSB Orderblock EA?
MSB Orderblock is a focused scalper: Market Structure Break + OB retest, nothing else. SMC Edge Pro is the full institutional-flow framework — structure, order blocks, FVGs, liquidity, premium/discount, and HTF bias — layered into confluence entries. If you want one tight setup, MSB is simpler. If you want the complete SMC toolkit, SMC Edge Pro is the flagship.
Does it work on MT4?
No — MT5 only. The structural graph uses modern object management APIs that don't exist on MT4.
