Smart Money Concepts structure detection on Binance 1h and 4h candles. A signal only fires when every gate agrees: directional structure (BoS/CHoCH), price inside an institutional zone (order block or fair value gap), a completed liquidity sweep, no opposite sweep, and an engulfing confirmation candle. Educational structure detection — not financial advice.

Swing pivots define BoS (trend continuation) and CHoCH (trend change). Longs only in bullish structure, and only within 24 bars of a fresh bias flip.
Order blocks (last opposite candle before a structure break) and ATR-filtered fair value gaps. Price must be inside a live, unmitigated zone.
A wick through a prior swing that closes back inside — the stop hunt must complete first, with no recent sweep in the opposite direction.
An engulfing candle triggers entry. Invalidation sits beyond the last swing with an ATR buffer; targets are 2R. Fired signals are archived here and sent to Telegram.
