Optimization

These settings allow fine-tuning of key Smart Money Concept (SMC) indicators used in backtesting.


Market Structure

Optimization documentation illustration
  • Algorithmic Logic – Selects between Extreme Points and Adjusted Points for market structure calculations.
  • Build Sweep (x) – Enables detection of liquidity sweeps at significant price levels.

Volumetric Order Blocks

Optimization documentation illustration
  • Construction – Defines order block size based on length or full candle body.
  • Mitigation Method – Determines when an order block is considered mitigated (e.g., Close, Wick, Avg).

Fair Value Gap (FVG)

Optimization documentation illustration
  • Mitigation – Sets how an FVG is confirmed as filled (Close, Wick, Avg).
  • Timeframe – Allows filtering by specific chart timeframes.
  • Threshold – Filters out insignificant FVGs based on a minimum value.

Swing Failure Pattern (SFP)

Optimization documentation illustration
  • Length – Defines the number of bars considered for SFP detection.
  • MTF – Enables higher timeframe filtering for SFP signals.
  • Filtering – Allows selecting Trend Following, Counter Trade, or None to refine signals.
  • Threshold – Sets a volume threshold for validating SFPs.

Liquidity Concepts

  • Sweep Area – Defines the zone size for detecting liquidity sweeps.

These settings help optimize SMC strategies by refining trade entries, exits, and confirmations.
