Smart Money Concepts

Purpose

The modern institutional trading school (ICT / Inner Circle Trader), built around the core idea of tracking the behavior of "smart money" (institutional capital):

Concept	English	Meaning
Break of structure	BOS (Break of Structure)	Trend continuation signal
Change of character	ChoCH (Change of Character)	Trend reversal signal
Fair value gap	FVG (Fair Value Gap)	Price refill target
Order blocks	Order Blocks	Institutional order concentration zones
Liquidity	Liquidity	Stop-hunt target zones

Signal Logic

Direction from ChoCH + confirmation from BOS + filtering by FVG:

• Long: bullish ChoCH/BOS + bullish FVG exists
• Short: bearish ChoCH/BOS + bearish FVG exists
• Stand aside: no structural signal or conflicting directions

Dependencies
