SMC Entry Setupswww.tradingview.com
SMC Entry Setups is a Smart Money Concepts (SMC) tool that automatically detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on any chart, any market, and any timeframe, and turns them into complete, ready-to-read trade setups. Instead of manually spotting a 3-candle imbalance, waiting for price to return into it, and then drawing your own Entry / Stop-Loss / Take-Profit levels, this indicator does all of it for you in real time — plotting the exact same style of Entry, Risk (red) and Reward (green) zones that traders draw by hand when marking up their charts.
Why This Indicator Was Built
Fair Value Gaps are one of the core building blocks of Smart Money Concepts / ICT-style trading — they mark the exact footprint of an aggressive, one-sided move where price left an imbalance behind. Price frequently returns to "fill" or "mitigate" that imbalance before continuing in the direction of the original move, which is why FVGs are commonly used as entry zones.
In practice, manually tracking every FVG across multiple symbols and timeframes is slow and error-prone, and charts get cluttered fast once several gaps are marked at once. SMC Entry Setups was built to solve exactly that: it automates the detection, filtering, and mitigation-tracking of FVGs, and only surfaces a clean, complete trade setup when price actually comes back to test one — so you always know at a glance where the entry, stop, and target are, without having to draw anything yourself.
How It Works
1. Fair Value Gap Detection The script scans every bar for the classic 3-candle imbalance:
A bullish FVG forms when the current candle's low is higher than the high from two candles back, leaving an untraded gap below price.
A bearish FVG forms when the current candle's high is lower than the low from two candles back, leaving an untraded gap above price.
2. Noise Filtering (ATR + Displacement) Not every small gap is worth trading. The indicator uses the Average True Range (ATR) to automatically scale its filters to whatever symbol and timeframe you're on:
A minimum gap size (as a multiple of ATR) removes tiny, insignificant gaps.
An optional "displacement" filter requires the candle that created the gap to be a strong, directional, high-momentum candle — the same kind of impulsive move that produces genuine institutional imbalances — filtering out gaps formed by ordinary choppy price action.
3. FVG Visualization Every qualifying FVG is drawn as a labeled box on the chart, colored by direction, so you can see exactly where the imbalance sits and how far it stretches.
4. Mitigation & Entry Detection The indicator continuously tracks every active (unmitigated) FVG. When price later trades back into that zone:
If price closes straight through the gap without reacting, the FVG is treated as invalidated and quietly removed — no false setup is drawn.
If price taps into the zone and holds (a genuine reaction), the indicator fires a trade setup: a bullish FVG that gets tapped from above triggers a BUY setup, and a bearish FVG that gets tapped from below triggers a SELL setup.
5. Entry, Stop-Loss & Take-Profit Calculation Once a setup triggers:
Entry is taken at the price where the reaction was confirmed.
Stop-Loss is placed just beyond the far edge of the FVG, with an extra ATR-based buffer so the stop isn't sitting exactly on the raw structure.
Take-Profit is calculated automatically from your chosen Risk : Reward ratio (default 1:2, fully adjustable).
6. Visual Trade Zones Instead of plain lines, the setup is displayed as two growing colored zones — exactly like a manual Long/Short Position drawing:
A green Reward Zone stretching from Entry to Take-Profit.
A red Risk Zone stretching from Entry to Stop-Loss. Both zones expand to the right in real time for as long as the trade stays open, then stop once price reaches the target or the stop.
7. One Clean Setup At A Time To keep the chart readable, the indicator (by default) will not draw a new setup until the previous one has finished — either by hitting its Take-Profit or its Stop-Loss. This mirrors how a discretionary trader would actually manage the chart: one live idea at a time, not a wall of overlapping signals.
8. Alerts Built-in alert conditions let you get notified the instant a new BUY or SELL setup is triggered, so you don't need to watch the chart constantly.
How To Use It
Add the indicator to any chart, any symbol, any timeframe.
Adjust the FVG Detection settings if you want tighter or looser gap filtering (ATR multiplier, displacement requirement).
Set your preferred Risk : Reward ratio and SL buffer in the Entry / Risk Management section.
Watch for the BUY ENTRY / SELL ENTRY label — the green and red zones show your Reward and Risk at a glance.
Optionally set an alert so you're notified the moment a new setup appears.
This tool is a decision-support aid, not a signal-and-forget system. Always confirm setups against your own market context (higher-timeframe trend, key levels, news events) before acting on them.
Disclaimer

Author Verification & Declaration
This script, "SMC Entry Setups," is published and maintained by Expert_Markets_Insights. The underlying market concept used in this tool — the three-candle price "imbalance" known in the trading community as a Fair Value Gap (FVG) — is a generic, publicly documented Smart Money Concepts / ICT market-structure concept. It is not proprietary to any single author, vendor, or publication, and is referenced here purely as a well-known technical definition, in the same way an indicator might reference RSI, MACD, or ATR as generic technical concepts.
Original Implementation Declaration
Every line of Pine Script code in this publication — the Fair Value Gap detection engine, the ATR-based gap filtering, the displacement/impulsive-candle filter, the FVG box drawing, extension, invalidation and expiry logic, the price re-entry ("mitigation") detection engine, the Entry / Stop-Loss / Take-Profit calculation engine, the growing Reward/Risk zone visualization, the "one setup at a time" trade-state management, the labeling system, and the alert framework — has been independently designed and written from scratch by Expert_Markets_Insights specifically for this publication.
No source code has been copied, ported, or adapted from any other author's published TradingView script, open-source repository, or third-party indicator. Any resemblance to other publicly available FVG-based scripts is limited strictly to the shared, generic underlying market concept (the 3-candle FVG definition) — not to the code implementation itself, which is original work.
