The Guide and the Blueprint are PDFs you read. Zeno below is a live indicator subscription for TradingView — a separate product, not a document.
Zeno is our live signal suite for TradingView. It calls clear buy/sell entries — each with stop-loss, take-profit and built-in risk management — the exact trades we take, backed by a public, timestamped track record. Prefer to mark the concepts yourself? Order blocks, FVGs and liquidity come from our separate free public indicators.

Smart Money Concepts is a price-action methodology that reads the footprints institutional traders leave on the chart. Instead of lagging indicators, SMC traders map market structure, order blocks, Fair Value Gaps and liquidity to trade alongside banks and funds rather than against them.
An order block is the last opposing candle before a strong, structure-breaking move — the area where institutions placed large orders. Traders mark the block's high-to-low zone and watch for price to return to it, treating it as a high-probability area of interest rather than an automatic entry.
A Fair Value Gap is a three-candle imbalance where price moved so fast that a gap is left between the wick of candle 1 and the wick of candle 3. It marks inefficient, one-sided trading, and price often returns later to rebalance the gap before continuing.
A liquidity sweep, or liquidity grab, is when price spikes just beyond an obvious high or low to trigger stop-losses and breakout orders, then quickly reverses. It is a normal way markets collect the liquidity large players need — not manipulation — and it often comes right before the real move.
A Break of Structure (BOS) confirms the current trend by breaking a prior high or low in the same direction. A Change of Character (CHoCH) is the first warning of a possible reversal — price fails to continue and breaks structure the opposite way. In short: BOS confirms, CHoCH warns.

Yes. Because SMC is based on liquidity and human behavior, it applies to forex, indices, crypto, stocks and gold — any market with real volume. The same logic works on every timeframe: higher timeframes give cleaner structure and fewer trades, lower timeframes give more setups and more noise.
