SMC Levels

Stop Guessing Which
Price Levels Actually Matter.


Every morning, futures traders scan the same chart wondering where price will react. The answer is usually staring them in the face β€” inside the gaps they can't see because they're drawing them by hand. That's hours of prep work, and one missed gap can mean a blown stop or an entry you hesitated on.


SMC Levels by Trademomo automatically maps every New Week Opening Gap, New Day Opening Gap, and RTH Gap directly onto your NinjaTrader 8 chart β€” so the levels are always there when you need them.

The Problem:


Here's What Trading Without This Looks Like 😀


If any of these sound familiar, you already know why you need this.

  • ⏰You're manually marking weekly and daily gaps every single session β€” before the market even opens. It works until the one morning you forget, and price rips right through a level you didn't have drawn.


  • πŸ™ˆ You miss NDOGs because you forgot to check the overnight 6 PM futures open vs. the previous close. That "random" reversal at 9:45 AM? That was the daily gap. You just didn't see it.


  • ❓You draw your RTH gap but have no idea how far it's been filled, so you're estimating targets with your eyes instead of trading a real number.


  • πŸŒ‘You're completely blind to the potential RTH gap before 9:31 AM. You have no idea what's about to open, which direction it's gapping, or how big it is β€” until it's already happening.


  • πŸ—‘οΈ You have gap levels from two weeks ago still cluttering your chart with no date label to tell you what's old and what's relevant.



The Solution:


Meet SMC Levels β€” Your Gap Map, Built Automatically βœ…


One indicator. Three gap types. Every level plotted, labeled, and color-coded β€” automatically.


  • πŸ“… New Week Opening Gaps (NWOG) β€” Weekly gaps auto-plotted with CE midpoints, the most targeted level inside each gap. Never miss a weekly anchor again.


  • πŸ•• New Day Opening Gaps (NDOG) β€” Daily 6 PM session gaps drawn automatically every single day. No alarm clocks, no manual entry.

  • 🟦 RTH Gaps (RTHG) β€” Regular hours gaps color-coded as filled or unfilled so you always know their status at a glance.


  • ⏱️ Dynamic RTHG β€” See the projected RTH gap before the session opens so you can plan your entry before price even moves.


  • 🎯C.E & Event Horizon Lines β€” The gap midpoints and derived extension targets drawn automatically β€” no math, no guessing.


  • πŸ—“οΈ Date-Labeled Levels β€” Every gap is stamped with its date so your chart never gets cluttered with mystery lines from a week ago.


This Was Built For You If...


πŸ“ˆYou trade ES, NQ, MES, or MNQ and use SMC or ICT-influenced methodology in your analysis β€” and you want your key gap levels plotted without the daily ritual.


⏳You're spending time manually marking opening gaps before every session and you're tired of it. Your prep time should be spent on the trade plan, not drawing rectangles.


🎯You want clean, objective price levels on your chart that don't require interpretation β€” just action. No repainting, no guesswork, no ambiguity.


Everything It Does, In Detail


πŸ“…New Week Opening Gap (NWOG)

The NWOG is the gap between Friday's close and Sunday's session open in futures markets. These gaps are among the most powerful weekly reference levels in the SMC playbook β€” price frequently revisits them before continuing in trend direction. SMC Levels automatically detects every weekly session transition and draws the full gap zone, CE, and Event Horizon so you're never without your weekly anchor levels.


  • Auto-detects the weekly session close and open to plot the gap zone β€” no setup needed

  • Draws the CE (midpoint) as a dashed line β€” the highest-probability target inside the gap

  • Optional Event Horizon line β€” the midpoint between two consecutive NWOG CEs

  • Date-labeled with the Monday session date so you can instantly identify which week

  • Show up to 200 historical NWOGs with adjustable background opacity and full color control

πŸ••New Day Opening Gap (NDOG)


The NDOG is the gap between yesterday's close and the 6 PM ET futures session open today. This gap forms every single trading day and gives you an intraday bias anchor. Miss it and you'll often find yourself confused when price reverses into a zone you didn't see coming. With SMC Levels, every NDOG is drawn automatically β€” no alarm clocks, no manual entry required.


  • Detects the 6:01 PM ET session transition to capture the exact daily gap

  • Draws the full gap zone, CE midpoint, and optional Event Horizon automatically

  • Date-labeled with the session date so you can distinguish today's NDOG from yesterday's

  • Show up to 200 historical NDOGs with full color and opacity customization

🟦RTH Gap (RTHG)


The RTH Gap is the gap between the previous day's Regular Trading Hours close and the next day's 9:31 AM open. These gaps fill more often than not β€” and when they don't, they act as powerful support/resistance. SMC Levels tracks the fill status in real time and color-codes each gap so you know at a glance whether it's still live or already closed.


  • Auto-detects the RTH session open and close based on your configurable session times

  • Color-codes the gap: one color for unfilled, a separate color for filled β€” instantly visible

  • Percentage lines at 25%, 50%, and 75% show exactly how far the gap has been filled

  • Show up to 20 historical RTH gaps with full color and opacity customization

⏱️Dynamic RTHG β€” Pre-Session Gap Projection


This is one of the most unique features of SMC Levels. Before 9:31 AM β€” while you're reviewing your plan β€” the indicator projects what the RTH gap will look like based on the current overnight price vs. the previous RTH close. You get the gap direction, size, and all the percentage lines before the session even opens. Plan your trade before price makes the move.


  • Projects the gap zone, direction (up or down), and exact size before 9:31 AM

  • Shows 25%, 50%, and 75% fill levels on the projected gap so you know your targets ahead of time

  • Automatically clears when the RTH session opens and the real RTHG takes over β€” no cleanup needed

  • Fully customizable color and opacity β€” keep it subtle so it doesn't dominate your chart


🎯CE & Event Horizon Levels


The Consequent Encroachment (CE) is the exact midpoint of any gap β€” and it's the single most targeted level inside that gap in SMC methodology. Price doesn't just "fill" gaps randomly; it tends to drive straight to the CE before reacting. The Event Horizon is the midpoint between two consecutive CEs β€” an extension target used by advanced traders to project where price might go after a CE is reclaimed.


  • CE drawn as a dashed line at the exact midpoint of each gap

  • Event Horizon drawn as a dotted line between consecutive gap CEs

  • Both levels are independently toggleable and color-customizable

  • All levels extend to the current bar so they never go stale or disappear mid-session

Questions? We've Got Answers.


Does this indicator repaint?

No. All gap levels are calculated using closed bar data and the official session open/close prices. Once a level is drawn, it does not move or repaint. What you see on your chart is exactly what was there in real time β€” no surprises after the fact.


What NinjaTrader version is required?

SMC Levels is built exclusively for NinjaTrader 8. It is not compatible with NinjaTrader 7 or any other platform. You must have a valid NinjaTrader 8 license to use this indicator. If you're unsure which version you have, check under Help β†’ About in NinjaTrader.


Will this work on any futures instrument?

Yes. While the indicator is optimized for CME equity futures like ES, NQ, MES, and MNQ, it will work on any futures instrument in NinjaTrader 8. The session start and end times are fully configurable to match the specific instrument and hours you trade.


Do I need to know SMC to use this?

Not deeply, but it helps. The indicator plots objective price levels β€” the gaps, midpoints, and extension targets. If you trade any price action methodology that respects opening gaps and liquidity levels, you'll find immediate value. The levels work regardless of what you call them in your methodology.


How is the Dynamic RTHG different from the regular RTHG?

The regular RTHG is calculated once the RTH session opens at 9:31 AM using the official session open price. The Dynamic RTHG projects what that gap will be based on the current overnight price vs. the previous RTH close β€” it appears before the open so you can plan ahead. It automatically disappears and is replaced by the real RTHG once the session begins.


What happens after I purchase? How do I install it?

After purchase you'll receive a download link for the NinjaScript (.zip) file immediately.
