Any indicator to use alongside SMC?

Hello traders! I’m studying SMC (Smart Money Concepts), and I know where to place entries, such as decisional or original areas, but the problem is that SMC alone doesn't work well. I need something else to increase my chances of success.
I was thinking of an indicator that could help with decision-making at the entry zones. Does anyone know of any indicator that could help with this?
Currently, I use the stochastic indicator to spot overbought and oversold conditions “only in the zones,” but it doesn't work perfectly. That's why I'm looking for another, more precise indicator. I work only with H4.
Thanks.

The Alternative price Donchian which you posted some time ago works great for entries as well.

Nice! No fancy colors, no fancy names. Just pure and simple work.

Another BUT... followed by a terrible entry, and I chickened out. That's what happens when one don't follow the rules.

Yes, this is a constant problem. Stop loss is needed.

Yes of course its a must. Today I felt like 1:1 RR. 3 pips SL 3pips TP. Another one, just to show that you did a great job with Alternative Donchian and Dragon.
