Smart Money Concepts (SMC) has become one of the most powerful and respected trading frameworks used by retail traders who want to understand how institutions really move the market. If you’ve ever felt that the market “hunts your stop-loss” or reverses exactly after wiping liquidity, this SMC Ebook will finally make all those confusing moments make sense. In this complete English-explained course, we break down the building blocks of SMC using simple language, diagrams, and real-market logic so anyone can understand how big players create structure, sweep liquidity, and engineer high-probability trade entries.


This blog gives you a deep dive into the material covered inside the SMC Trading Ebook, including Market Structure, BOS/CHOCH, Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, Liquidity Concepts, Continuation Models, and institutional entry techniques. If you’ve been searching for a clean, beginner-friendly introduction to Smart Money Concepts, this course-level guide will walk you step by step—without the noise, hype, or over-complicated jargon.


What Is Smart Money Concept (SMC)?


Smart Money Concept (SMC) is a price-action-based trading methodology that focuses on understanding how institutional traders—banks, hedge funds, prop firms, and large liquidity providers—move price. Instead of predicting the market using retail indicators, SMC teaches you to identify where liquidity lies, how structure shifts, and where smart money places orders before price takes off.


Institutions rarely buy or sell randomly; they create movements that trap retail traders, sweep liquidity, and then push price toward their true target. This is why SMC focuses heavily on:



  • Market Structure (HH, HL, LH, LL)

  • Break of Structure (BOS)

  • Change of Character (CHOCH)

  • Liquidity sweeps

  • Order Blocks (OB)

  • Imbalances or Fair Value Gaps (FVG)

  • Premium and Discount pricing


The SMC Ebook visually explains each concept with diagrams similar to the screenshots above, ensuring even beginners can understand the logic behind institutional movements.


SMC Basic Model – How Institutions Move Price


The SMC Basic Model, shown in the ebook, illustrates the entire lifecycle of a market move engineered by smart money:



  • Liquidity is collected at obvious highs/lows.

  • CHOCH (Change of Character) signals the first reversal sign.

  • Break of Structure (BOS) confirms new trend direction.

  • Order Blocks (OB) act as institutional supply/demand zones.

  • Fair Value Gaps (FVG) indicate areas price is likely to rebalance.

  • Internal structure shows micro BOS, pullbacks, and corrections.

  • Re-entries happen after liquidity sweep + retest.


This model helps you understand that every strong market move follows a sequence—not random chaos. The ebook simplifies this model with clean illustrations, explaining where smart money accumulates orders and where retail traders usually get trapped.


Continuation Entries – Trading With the Trend


One of the strongest setups in SMC is the Continuation Model. The ebook explains that when structure is bullish or bearish, the safest and highest-probability trades come from retesting an Order Block after a confirmed BOS.


Here’s the flow:



  1. Trend moves strong in one direction

  2. BOS confirms continuation

  3. Liquidity at previous highs/lows is taken

  4. Price returns to an Order Block (OB)

  5. Entry is taken at discount/premium zones

  6. Trend continues to next liquidity pool


This strategy reduces unnecessary losses because you don’t counter-trade the market—you align yourself with institutional momentum. The ebook also shows visual examples of continuation entries using diagrams like the “Continuation Entry” image above.


Market Structure – The Foundation of SMC


Market Structure is the heart of Smart Money Concepts. Without understanding structure, you cannot identify trends, reversals, BOS, continuation points, or liquidity areas. The ebook covers:


Bullish Structure



  • Higher Highs (HH)

  • Higher Lows (HL)
    Indicating buyers are in full control.


Bearish Structure



  • Lower Highs (LH)

  • Lower Lows (LL)
    Showing sellers are dominating.


Why Structure Matters


Institutions respect structure—they use it to:



  • Create liquidity traps

  • Signal direction

  • Build zones for entries

  • Manipulate retail traders


The ebook teaches you how to identify shifts in structure confidently so you can stop guessing market direction and start trading logically.


Liquidity – The Fuel of Smart Money


Liquidity is what moves the market. The ebook explains that institutions need liquidity to fill large orders, so they purposely push the market toward high-liquidity levels such as:



  • Equal highs & equal lows

  • Trendline touches

  • Previous highs/lows

  • Stop-loss clusters

  • Round numbers


Once liquidity is taken (or “swept”), price usually reverses sharply—this is where smart money enters, and where most retail traders lose.


Order Blocks (OB) – Institutional Origin Points


Order Blocks are the last candle before a strong move that breaks structure. They represent zones where institutions placed large buy/sell orders. The ebook explains:



  • Bullish OB: Last down candle before a strong up-move

  • Bearish OB: Last up candle before a strong down-move


The SMC Ebook gives detailed diagrams showing exactly how OBs form, how to mark them correctly, and how to enter after price returns to them.


Fair Value Gaps (FVG) – Price Imbalances


FVGs occur when the market moves too fast, leaving gaps where price doesn’t trade fairly. Institutions revisit these gaps to rebalance price. The ebook teaches:



  • Why FVGs are magnets for price

  • How they combine with OBs

  • When to use FVG as confirmation


SMC Entry Models Explained


The ebook covers entry models such as:



  • Liquidity Sweep + CHOCH Entry

  • OB + FVG Combination Entry

  • Continuation Model Entry

  • Mitigation Block Entry

  • Internal BOS Entry


Each model is backed with diagrams similar to the screenshots you attached, making learning much easier.
