smc

smc is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from skloxo/TideTrading. It costs 41 tokens per session (334 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of smc, MIT.

A technical-analysis signal engine based on Smart Money Concepts, a trading framework that studies price structure and areas where large orders may be concentrated. It identifies trend breaks, possible reversals, price gaps, order blocks, and liquidity zones.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to examine break-of-structure and change-of-character signals, fair-value gaps, order blocks, and possible long or short setups.
Why use it?
It gives names and rules to common price-chart patterns instead of leaving them as subjective visual judgments. Conflicting signals can also result in a stand-aside reading.

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 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (example_signal_engine.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What it actually says

Smart Money Concepts

Purpose

The modern institutional trading school (ICT / Inner Circle Trader), built around the core idea of tracking the behavior of "smart money" (institutional capital):

Concept English Meaning
Break of structure BOS (Break of Structure) Trend continuation signal
Change of character ChoCH (Change of Character) Trend reversal signal
Fair value gap FVG (Fair Value Gap) Price refill target
Order blocks Order Blocks Institutional order concentration zones
Liquidity Liquidity Stop-hunt target zones

Signal Logic

Direction from ChoCH + confirmation from BOS + filtering by FVG:

  • Long: bullish ChoCH/BOS + bullish FVG exists
  • Short: bearish ChoCH/BOS + bearish FVG exists
  • Stand aside: no structural signal or conflicting directions

Dependencies

pip install smartmoneyconcepts pandas numpy requests

Parameters

Parameter Default Description
swing_length 10 Window for swing high/low detection
close_break True Whether BOS/ChoCH requires a closing-price break

Signal Convention

  • 1 = long, -1 = short, 0 = stand aside
Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
