KS Smart Trading ICT Concept
(Inspired By SMC ICT Concept)
Trading Style / Philosophy: Smart Money Concepts (SMC) / ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology
Purpose: Visualizes key institutional / smart money price action structures and zones directly on the chart in real-time or historical mode. Helps traders identify high-probability areas based on ICT concepts such as market structure breaks, order blocks, liquidity grabs, imbalances, and premium/discount positioning.

Style → Colored vs Monochrome
Structure visibility → separate control for bullish vs bearish + BOS vs CHoCH filtering
Order Blocks → internal vs swing, mitigation by close or high/low, ATR or cumulative range filter
FVG → timeframe selection, auto threshold, extension length
Alerts → very granular — separate alerts for almost every event type (BOS, CHoCH, OB break, EQH/EQL, FVG creation)
