Why CHOCH Matters in Trading?
CHOCH (Change of Character) is a vital concept in Smart Money Concepts.
Here’s why traders care:
- It shows when trend sentiment shifts.
- It helps you enter early before the crowd.
- It filters out false breakouts by focusing on structure.
For example:
- If price makes higher highs then suddenly breaks a key low → Bearish CHOCH.
- If price makes lower lows then suddenly breaks a key high → Bullish CHOCH.
The indicator does this automatically and plots arrows so you don’t miss the move.
Backtest & Performance
While indicators themselves don’t guarantee profits, the CHOCH ARROWS Indicator MT4 has been tested on major forex pairs and gold:
- EURUSD (H1) → clean CHOCH signals during NY & London sessions.
- XAUUSD (M15) → great for scalpers spotting intraday reversals.
- GBPUSD (H4) → reliable trend change signals for swing trading.
A typical backtest shows:
- Accuracy improves when combined with EMA filters.
