smc-scanning

smc-scanning is a skill for Claude Code from Miha21222/tradingview-mcp. It costs 91 tokens per session (1,122 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A market scanner for finding price patterns used in Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Inner Circle Trader (ICT) analysis, such as gaps, order blocks, structure breaks, liquidity sweeps, and session ranges.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan a symbol and timeframe for fair value gaps, order blocks, breaks or changes in market structure, liquidity areas and sweeps, trading sessions, and previous highs or lows.
Why use it?
It turns price bars into specific levels and events, so you do not have to inspect every chart manually when looking for a possible trade setup or market bias.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

smc-scanning scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 83 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

SMC / ICT pattern scanning

Detect smart-money / ICT structures on OHLCV bars: Fair Value Gaps, Order Blocks, Break of Structure / Change of Character, liquidity pools + sweeps, killzone sessions, and previous-period high/low. Numbers are the authority — the chart is an artifact; read the JSON, not pictures.

When to use

  • Establishing a trading bias before entry decisions.
  • Finding confluent setups: e.g. a liquidity sweep into a killzone that leaves an FVG.
  • Checking whether a level is broken (BOS) or a move changed character (CHoCH).
  • You have a symbol/timeframe in mind and want the structure, not a raw quote.

Tools

Front these first (all read-only, all name their data feed via provider):

  • tv_data_get_bars — OHLCV bars (Dukascopy default; OANDA if OANDA_API_KEY set).
  • tv_scan_fvg — Fair Value Gaps (bullish/bearish boxes with top/bottom).
  • tv_scan_ob — Order Blocks (boxes + strength % + mitigation).
  • tv_scan_structure — BOS and CHoCH (level + broken_index/time).
  • tv_scan_liquidity — clustered swing highs/lows + sweeps.
  • tv_scan_sessions — killzone blocks with each block's high/low (dealing range).
  • tv_scan_prev_hl — previous-day/week high/low and whether price broke them.

Optional: tv_chart_render to draw the detected structures (see the chart-markup skill).

Workflow

  1. Get bars: tv_data_get_bars(symbol, timeframe, count) — for M15 day-trading, 500–1000 bars is a reasonable window; match the timeframe to the intent (M15/M30 for intraday, H1/H4 for swing).
  2. Scan structure: tv_scan_structure(symbol, timeframe, count, swing_length). A bullish BOS above a prior swing high after a sweep is a classic setup seed.
  3. Scan liquidity: tv_scan_liquidity — look for swept pools (a swept_time present) as potential reversal triggers.
  4. Scan FVG/OB: tv_scan_fvg and tv_scan_ob — gaps and blocks in the direction of your bias; treat a fresh FVG as support/resistance, not a signal.
  5. Session filter: tv_scan_sessions(symbol, timeframe, count, session=...) — note each killzone block's high/low (the dealing range where liquidity sits).
  6. Previous H/L: tv_scan_prev_hl — levels traders watch; a sweep of the previous day high/low is a common stop-hunt.
  7. Synthesize a narrative, naming each detected element with its timestamp and price, then (optionally) render it: build a markup_json and call tv_chart_render (see chart-markup skill).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
