Advanced Smart Money Concepts (SMC) Cheat Sheet
1. Liquidity Types
- External Liquidity: Above highs/below lows, retail SL zones
- Internal Liquidity: Within a range, used to form structure
- Engineered Liquidity: Equal highs/lows created to trap retail
2. Refined Order Blocks
- Use HTF OB for direction (1H/4H)
- Refine on LTF (15m/5m/1m) to candle body, 50%, or wick
- Enter on OB retest with LTF confirmation
3. Inducement
- Price fakes a move toward OB
- Leaves small high/low before true move
- Entry after inducement sweep + OB tap
4. Reversal Models (Wyckoff)
- Accumulation = Bullish Reversal
- Distribution = Bearish Reversal
- Look for SC -> ST -> Spring -> Test -> BOS
5. Liquidity Sweep + FVG + OB Confluence
- Sweep key high/low
- Create Fair Value Gap
- Refined OB inside FVG = entry zone
- Confirmation entry (CHoCH, BOS, etc.)
6. Entry Models
- Model 1: Sweep -> FVG -> OB -> M1 CHoCH Entry
