XAUUSD SMC Strategy (FVG + BoS)This advanced TradingView strategy is built for serious traders who follow Smart Money Concepts (SMC), with a special focus on Fair Value Gaps (FVG) and Break of Structure (BoS). The script automates trade entries and visual signals based on clean price action, while also allowing for performance backtesting through the built-in Strategy Tester.
The purpose of this script is to combine high-probability SMC signals with a clear and flexible backtest engine. Traders can visually confirm institutional moves (like imbalances and structure breaks) while simultaneously analyzing strategy performance, risk-reward, and execution logic — all from one chart.
⚙️ Key Features
FVG Detection: Automatically identifies bullish and bearish fair value gaps, highlighting imbalance zones between institutional buying and selling activity.
Break of Structure (BoS): Clearly shows bullish and bearish structure breaks, helping traders confirm directional bias and spot trend shifts with clarity.
Trade Execution Logic: Designed with actual strategy.entry() and strategy.exit() functions, this script simulates trades using risk-controlled logic with stop loss and take profit targeting.
Spaced Signal Visualization: Avoids chart clutter by spacing FVG and BoS signals, making the visual output clean and readable — even on fast-moving charts like XAUUSD.
Risk-Reward Customization: Easily set your own risk:reward ratio and stop-loss buffer, ensuring each trade is simulated according to your personal strategy or trading plan.
Cool-Down System: Add a delay between trades using the “Bars Between Trades” setting to prevent overtrading during volatile periods.
Live and Historical Insights: Signals appear in real-time, while also being plotted historically — making it easy to scroll back and study how the market behaved under this logic.
Fully Editable Parameters: Customize FVG size, structure lookback, spacing intervals, and more to fit your unique interpretation of SMC methodology.
🧠 How It Works
This strategy combines two key concepts:
FVG (Fair Value Gaps): Price zones where the market moved too quickly and left an imbalance between buyers and sellers. These gaps often act as magnets for price or areas of reversal.
BoS (Break of Structure): Points where the price breaks through a significant high or low, indicating a potential shift in market direction.
When both FVG and BoS align under certain conditions — and the cooldown requirement is satisfied — the strategy places a trade. A take profit and stop loss are automatically applied based on your inputs.
📈 Practical Use Cases
Trend Confirmation: Use BoS signals to validate trend continuation trades, especially when FVG confirms the imbalance.
Reversal Zones: Spot potential turning points when price fills an FVG and breaks previous structure in the opposite direction.
Backtest SMC Logic: Validate your theory by testing this strategy over historical XAUUSD data using real stop loss / take profit logic.
Refine Entry Timing: Study how structure breaks and FVGs align in different timeframes to improve entry precision.
💡 Best For
Traders learning or mastering Smart Money Concepts
Price action purists who avoid indicators
XAUUSD scalpers, day traders, or swing traders
Strategy developers who want visual + backtested confirmation
📌 Notes
The default strategy places trades every 10 candles to ensure the engine runs — replace this with your refined FVG + BoS logic as needed.
Works best on Gold (XAUUSD) 4H, 1H, or 15m timeframes depending on volatility and structure spacing.

SMC BOS Strategy for XAUUSDThis is a custom-built TradingView strategy that uses Smart Money Concept (SMC) logic to identify high-probability trend continuation and reversal entries based on Break of Structure (BOS) on XAUUSD. It is designed for traders looking to test institutional-style structure breaks with dynamic entry and risk-managed exits.
The strategy detects BOS using swing highs and lows, then enters trades based on price momentum (bullish or bearish candle confirmation). Each trade is automatically managed using a fixed stop loss in pips and a customizable risk-to-reward (RR) ratio. The goal is to backtest how BOS alone can drive clean directional entries, simulating Smart Money precision without repainting or false signals.
🔑 Key Features:
BOS-Based Entry Logic: Enters trades only after a valid break of structure (new higher high or lower low), signaling continuation from a Smart Money shift.
Momentum Filtered Entry: Requires candle confirmation to validate direction (e.g., bullish close after bullish BOS).
Full Backtest Engine: Built using strategy() functions, allowing you to test SL/TP performance and adjust position sizing.
Custom Risk Control: Adjust Stop Loss (in pips) and Target Profit using a flexible RR ratio (e.g. 1:2 or 1:3 setups).
Works Across Timeframes: Optimized for 15m, 1H, and 4H on XAUUSD, but works on any asset that respects structure.
⚙️ Settings:
Swing Sensitivity – Controls how strict pivot highs/lows are
Minimum Bar Spacing – Prevents overtrading after recent BOS
Stop Loss (in pips) – Fixed distance from entry
Risk/Reward Ratio – Multiplies SL for dynamic take-profit
Trade Direction – Supports both long and short with momentum
📊 How It Works:
Detects new structure break (BOS)
Confirms momentum with candle direction (close > open for long, close < open for short)
Triggers entry and sets TP/SL automatically
Logs results in the Strategy Tester for full backtest evaluation
📌 Optimized For:
XAUUSD (Gold)
Smart Money / SMC / ICT traders
Trend continuation + reversal structures
Backtest-focused strategy building
Institutional-level analysis
📎 Release Notes:
