SMC CHOCH BOS Dual Structure + Candle Color v6
📊 SMC CHOCH & BOS Dual Structure Indicator — User Guide
This indicator is designed to map market structure using Smart Money Concepts (SMC), combining:
CHOCH (Change of Character)
BOS (Break of Structure)
Swing Structure (macro)
Internal Structure (micro)
Dynamic candle coloring based on structural shifts
It provides a complete framework to understand trend shifts, confirmations, and execution timing.
🧠 CORE CONCEPTS
🔹 CHOCH (Change of Character)
Represents a potential reversal in market direction.
Bullish CHOCH → Market shifts from bearish to bullish
Bearish CHOCH → Market shifts from bullish to bearish
👉 This is the early signal, but not always confirmed.
🔹 BOS (Break of Structure)
Represents trend continuation or confirmation.
Occurs when price breaks previous structure in the direction of the trend
The first BOS after a CHOCH is especially important
👉 This is the confirmation phase.
⚙️ SETTINGS EXPLAINED
🔸 Show Structure
Swing → Displays macro structure (clean, less noise)
Internal → Displays micro structure (faster, more signals)
Both → Combines both for full context
👉 Recommended: Both
🔸 Swing Structure Length
Controls the sensitivity of macro structure.
Higher value → smoother, fewer signals
Lower value → more reactive
👉 Recommended: 8–15
🔸 Internal Structure Length
Controls micro structure detection.
Lower value → faster signals
Higher value → more filtering
👉 Recommended: 2–5
🔸 Confirm Break By Candle Close
ON → Break only confirmed after candle closes (more reliable)
OFF → Break detected instantly (faster, more aggressive)
👉 Recommended: ON
🔸 Candle Color Based On
Defines which structure controls candle coloring:
Swing → slower, trend-based coloring
Internal → faster, execution-based coloring
👉 Recommended:
Swing → for bias
Internal → for entries
🔸 Change Candle Color On
Defines when the trend/color shifts:
CHOCH
Faster reaction
More signals
Higher risk
First BOS After CHOCH
More confirmation
Fewer signals
Higher probability
👉 Recommended: First BOS After CHOCH
🔸 Color Candles
ON → candles follow structural direction
OFF → structure only (lines + labels)
🔸 Colors
Customize:
Swing bullish/bearish
Internal bullish/bearish
Candle colors
🔸 Show BOS/CHOCH Text
Displays text labels directly on structure lines:
No background
Centered on the line
Clean visual style
📈 HOW TO USE (PROFESSIONAL APPROACH)
🔹 1. Define Direction (Swing Structure)
Use Swing CHOCH + BOS to identify overall bias
Only trade in the direction of Swing trend
🔹 2. Execute with Internal Structure
Wait for Internal CHOCH
Then confirm with Internal BOS
👉 This is your entry trigger
🔹 3. Best Setup (High Probability)
✔ Swing trend bullish
✔ Internal CHOCH (pullback ends)
✔ First BOS confirms continuation
👉 That’s your trade
⚠️ COMMON MISTAKES
❌ Trading CHOCH alone
❌ Ignoring higher timeframe structure
❌ Entering after extended moves
❌ Using Internal signals against Swing trend
🔥 SIMPLE RULE SET
CHOCH = potential shift
BOS = confirmation
Swing = direction
Internal = execution
🎯 FINAL THOUGHT
This indicator is not just for signals —
it’s a market structure framework.
If used correctly, it helps you:
Avoid late entries
Trade with structure, not emotion
Align with institutional flow
