SMT
(Smart money Tool)
I decided to write this PDF because, by identifying SMT
divergences you gain a better insight on the stronger/ weaker
pair to trade in turn catching larger price moves.
Also, I will never take a trade based solely based on an SMT
divergence, I use it as a confluence tool!
SMT- (Smart Money Technique) is the first sign on manipulation
Manipulation invites opportunity.
A change in the state of delivery born from a crack in
correlation = opportunity 💎 💎
-What is an SMT?
An SMT (Smart Money Tool) is a crack in correlation between correlated
pairs,
I use SMT divergences when I trade FX pairs like EUR/USD, GBP/USD and
DXY
SMT’s can also be used with
-BTC/ETH
-XXXUSD/ DXY
-ES/YM/NQ
-XAUUSD/XAUEUR
Here is a chart of EUR/USD and GBP/USD, as we can see both of them
have the same anatomy
When EU makes a lower low so does GU, when EU makes a higher high
so does GU, so on and so forth. They both have the same structure
Now, as we can see here,
EU fails to make a lower low whereas GU does make a lower low.
This is an SMT Divergence, so if I seen this on a trading day I would
choose to take longs on EU rather than GU, because the SMT signals to
us that EU is the stronger pair
How I use SMT divergences:-
I use SMT divergences only as a confluence to my trades, so before I
would even check to see if an SMT is present I make sure 2 criteria are
met as always which is
-Price has tapped into a HTF PD array.
-A clear target.
Here is an annotated example
In both of these cases above I would choose to trade GU,
As in the bullish example it failed to make a lower low whereas EU did
(Shows GU strength for Longs)
In the bearish example it failed to make a higher high compared to EU
(Shows GU weakness for shorts)
Above Gu made 90pips
And Eu made 60pips
Some eg of XAUUSD with XAUEUR
Above XAUUSD is stronger made 200pips
and XAUEUR made 120pips
NOTE:- SMT is one of the confirmation to find manipulation move
Blindly don’t Take entry
