Can SMC be automated?

Partially. Order block detection, FVG identification, and BOS/CHoCH signals can be automated with tools like Quantum Algo. However the discretionary elements such as context reading, session selection, and trade management benefit from human judgment. The best approach is semi-automated — automated detection with manual execution.

Pine Script is TradingView's proprietary programming language for creating custom indicators and strategies. Quantum Algo is built in Pine Script v5. You can use Pine Script to create alerts, backtest strategies, and build custom tools that complement Quantum Algo.
