Choch & BOS MT4 Indicator

 

The ultimate ‘Smart Money Concepts’ Market Structure & Trend Reversal Indicator

 

This indicator is designed to show the structure of the market:

• Choch Choch Change of Character(the first indication of the possibility of a change in direction of trend)
• BOS Break Of Structure Break of Structure(a indication of a continuous flow of order in the direction of trend)

It comes with 3 different Alerts:

• Choch (Change Of Character)
• BOS (Break Of Structure)
• Choch & BOS (both in that order – a trend Reversal alert)

The alerts are designed to notify traders when a specific configuration occurs without the need to sit on charts for a long time, waiting for the pattern to unfold live.

 

What is a Choch? – Change of Character(the first indication of the possibility of a change in the direction of trend)

 

What is a BOS? – Break Of Structure (a sign of continuous order flow in the current trend direction)

 

Choch & BOS – A Trend Reversal Pattern

The CHOCH can be the VERY FIRST indication of a possible trend reversal. If followed by BOS, it provides more evidence of an underlying trend change (opposed to the Choch alone)

The Choch & BOS alert helps you to avoid bad trades!

Are you constantly trying to find the upper/lower turning point of a trend, but you keep getting caught off guard?

Stop doing that!

This indicator will save you from falling into that trap because if you wait for both the Choch and the BOS before executing the trade, it is more likely to be successful.

Depth of Zigzag

This indicator uses the ‘Depth of Zigzag setting that allows you to decide on the strength/size of swings in market structure at any timeframe (because this is an extremely subjective issue with regard to traders as individuals). The indicator’s ‘Depth Of Zigzag setting allows you to decide for yourself on the key market structure swing-points. The change in this parameter will alter the algorithm of the indicator and cause the indicator to turn around at (stronger or less) both low and high swing points.

The next question is: Which of them are legitimate in the naked eye?

There is no guarantee that everyone will have the same conclusion. This is exactly why I thought it was important that this setting be changed by the user…

 

Here are some examples of different “Depth of Zigzag’ settings (on the same chart) to illustrate the differences:

Depth of Zigzag = 4

 

Depth of Zigzag = 12

 

Depth of Zigzag = 24

 

Depth of Zigzag = 36

 

Alerts can be set for Choch’s when you set the “Alert Choice and setting it to “Any Choch’ (Note that wicks are not counted and an alert can only be activated when the candle that qualifies closes):

 

Alerts can be triggered for BOS’s only By setting the “Alert Options set to ‘Any BOS’ (Note that wicks do not count and an alert can only be activated after the candle that qualifies closes):

• The Choch & BOS Alert triggers when the candle that qualifies for a qualifying position CLOSES over that of the prior (BOS) swing-high
• You then mark-up your ‘current range’ and wait for the price to fall back into the range (preferably to the ‘discount’ region, i.e. above 50%) into an FVG or an order block
• The trade in this instance was made when the price hit the previous block of bullish orders…

 

Bearish Choch & BOS Alert:

• The Choch & BOS Alert triggers when the candle that qualifies for a qualifying position CLOSES over that of the prior (BOS) swing-high
• Then you mark-up the ‘current range’ and wait for the price to fall back to that range (preferably in the discount zone – that is, above 50%) in a FVG an order block
• The trade in this instance was made when the price surpassed the previous bullish block…

Bearish Choch & BOS Alert:

The Choch & BOS alarm is triggered when the qualifying candle ends lower than the previous (BOS) swing low

Then mark the current range and wait for the price to return to this range (preferably in the ‘premium’ zone – i.e. above the 50% threshold) to create an FVG or an order block

This trade was taken when the price reached the previous bearish order block…
