SMC MTF

Overview
SMC MTF is a sophisticated technical analysis tool designed to bridge the gap between Higher Timeframe (HTF) institutional levels and Lower Timeframe (LTF) execution. Unlike standard indicators that simply plot zones, this engine utilizes a Smart Confluence Algorithm to identify high-probability areas where multiple timeframes align.

Built for precision traders, it automatically maps Fair Value Gaps (FVG) and Order Blocks (OB) from up to three different timeframes simultaneously, while keeping your chart clean through a dynamic "Calm Theme" system.

💎 Key Features
1. Multi-Timeframe Matrix
Monitor market structure across three distinct dimensions without switching charts:

HTF 1 (Primary): The anchor timeframe (e.g., 1H or 4H).
HTF 2 (Secondary): The strategic timeframe (e.g., 4H or Daily).
Current TF: The tactical timeframe (e.g., 5m or 15m).
2. ⚡ The Confluence Engine (The "Star" Signal)
The indicator's most powerful feature. When zones from different timeframes overlap (e.g., a 1H FVG intersects with a 15m FVG), the algorithm marks this confluence with a Star (★).

Why it matters: Confluence zones represent areas of "Timeframe Agreement," where institutional interest is significantly higher.
Signal: 1H FVG ★ means the zone is validated by multiple timeframes.
3. Smart Visual Hierarchy
Zones are visually coded to let you instantly recognize their origin without reading labels:

━━━ Solid Border: Primary HTF Levels (Strongest).
╌╌╌ Dashed Border: Secondary HTF Levels.
⋯⋯⋯ Dotted Border: Current Timeframe Levels.
4. Aesthetics & "Calm" Themes
Trading psychology is key. We've moved away from jarring neon colors to predefined "Calm Palettes" designed to reduce visual fatigue:

Midnight: Deep indigos and purples.
Ocean: Serene teals and blues.
Forest: Natural greens and browns.
Monochrome: Professional grayscale for distraction-free analysis.
🛠️ Technical Logic (Under The Hood)
To ensure reliability and performance, this script implements several advanced programming concepts:

Non-Repainting Architecture: Utilizes request.security with strict [1] offset and lookahead_on confirmation. This ensures that HTF zones are only drawn once the HTF candle has fully closed, preventing the "disappearing zone" phenomenon common in inferior scripts.
Array-Based Zone Management: Uses dynamic arrays (array<HTFZone>) to manage memory efficiently, automatically cleaning up old zones based on a proximity algorithm to maintain high performance.
Smart Mitigation Logic: Zones are monitored in real-time. Once price closes beyond a zone's limit (Method: checkMitigation), the zone is marked as broken or faded, giving you a clear history of market respect.
Optimized Resource Usage: consolidated security calls reduce script execution time by bundling OHLC, ATR, and Swing calculations into minimal requests.
🎯 How to Use (Best Practices)
1. The "Russian Doll" Strategy (Top-Down): Use the indicator to find "zones within zones".

Look for a Solid (HTF1) Zone.
Wait for price to approach it.
Entry Signal: Look for a Dotted (Current TF) zone forming inside or bouncing off the HTF zone. This is your trigger.
2. Trading the ★ (Star):

Setup: Identify a zone marked with a Star (★).
Context: This zone has double or triple confirmation.
Action: Place limit orders or aggressive entries at these levels with higher confidence, as they represent significant liquidity clusters.
3. Trend Continuation:

In a bullish trend, look for price to respect FVG▲ zones.
If a zone is broken and labeled invalid, wait for the next structure to form.
⚙️ Settings Guide
Target: MAIN section allows you to toggle specific timeframes.
Visuals: APPEARANCE lets you switch themes (Midnight, Ocean, etc.) instantly.
Filters: Use "Strong Quality" in FILTERS to show only the most significant displacement zones.
Advanced: Pro users can tweak Min Gap ATR to filter out insignificant noise.
