SMC ICT Dashboard indicator with toggle

SMC ICT Dashboard

SMC ICT Dashboard: User Manual

The SMC ICT Dashboard is a comprehensive MetaTrader 5 custom indicator designed to automate the plotting of Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts on your charts.

Dashboard Interface

The interactive dashboard allows you to toggle drawings on/off instantly to keep your charts clean.

M (Move) Button: Rotates the dashboard between the 4 corners of your chart (Top-Left, Top-Right, Bottom-Left, Bottom-Right).
HIDE / SHOW Button: Collapses the main panel to save screen space when you don't need to interact with the toggles.
SRV: (Server Time): Displays your broker's current server time. Useful for aligning Kill Zones with the real market open times.

Analytical Features

1. FVG (Fair Value Gaps)
   What it does: Automatically detects and highlights 3-candle Fair Value Gaps.
   Display:
   Green Rectangles = Bullish FVG (Demand)
   Red Rectangles = Bearish FVG (Supply)
2. LIQ (Liquidity Pools)
   What it does: Plots major daily liquidity price levels that the market is likely to target.
   Display: Dashed horizontal lines extending to the right. Currently tracks PDH (Previous Day High) and PDL (Previous Day Low).
3. SWINGS (Market Structure)
   What it does: Identifies significant fractal Swing Highs and Swing Lows based on recent price action.
   Display: Small Up/Down Wingding arrows directly above/below the swing candles.
   Settings: SwingBars controls the sensitivity (higher = fewer, larger swings).
4. KILL ZONES (ICT Time Windows)
   What it does: Highlights the most volatile trading sessions (Asian, London, New York) by drawing rectangles from the session's highest high to lowest low.
   Important Setting (KZ_TimeShift): If your broker is in a different timezone than New York (e.g., UTC+2), input the offset in the KZ_TimeShift setting (e.g., 7) so the indicator automatically converts New York kill zones to your broker's server time.
5. AUTO FIBO (ICT Retracement)
   What it does: Automatically anchors a Fibonacci retracement between the most recent major Swing High and Swing Low.
   Display: Projects ICT-specific retracement levels (0.5 Equilibrium, 0.618 OTE, 0.786 OTE) infinitely to the right of the chart.
   Settings: FiboLookback determines how many bars back the indicator looks to find the major structural points.

TIP

Customizing Visuals You can change the colors of every single element—including the dashboard UI, FVGs, Swings, and Kill Zones—directly from the Inputs tab when you attach the indicator to a chart!
