由 John-Paul Duff The SA Indicator Marker (also known as the SA Marker) is a technical analysis tool used in trading to identify potential trend reversals or continuations based on the Smart Money Concept (SMC). It is often associated with institutional trading strategies and helps traders spot key levels where “smart money” (large players like banks or hedge funds) might enter or exit the market.
Key Features of the SA Indicator Marker:
1. Purpose:
– Highlights areas of liquidity grabs, order blocks, or fair value gaps (FVGs).
– Identifies potential support/resistance zones where price may reverse or consolidate.
2. Common Components:
– Order Blocks (OB): Zones where institutional orders are likely clustered.
– Liquidity Pools: Areas where stop losses or retail traders’ orders are concentrated.
– Fair Value Gaps (FVG): Imbalances in price that may get filled later.
3. How It Works:
– The marker often appears as a colored box, arrow, or highlight on the chart.
– Signals are generated based on volume analysis, price action, or liquidity levels.
4. Trading Strategies Using SA Marker:
– Reversal Trading: Entering when price reaches a marked zone and shows reversal patterns (e.g., engulfing candles, pin bars).
– Breakout/Retest: Waiting for price to break a marked level and retest it before entering.
– Liquidity Runs: Trading the “sweep” of liquidity before a reversal.
Where to Find It?
– Some custom indicators in TradingView, MT4/MT5, or cTrader include SA Markers.
– Often used alongside tools like ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts, Market Structure, or Volume Profile.
