What the Scoreboard Says About SMC

Written and reviewed in-house. No named analyst yetUpdated Jul 22, 2026

The idea in one breath: You have now learned the framework. This lesson asks the question the framework's teachers rarely do: does it work, and how would we know?

How SMC signals are scored here

Exactly like everything else. Order blocks, gaps and sweeps enter the confluence engine as weighted signals and their weights are checked against resolved outcomes. If order-block retests stop resolving favourably, their weight falls. No allowance is made for the concept being fashionable.

What we can say today

Almost nothing, and that is the honest answer. No SMC signal family has cleared the sample floor, so every scoreboard on the Playbook SMC pages reads collecting. Anyone quoting you a hit rate for order blocks right now — including us, if we did — would be making it up.

What we have committed to

Publishing the number when it exists, whichever way it lands. If SMC signals turn out to add nothing over the rest of the stack, that goes on the page in the same size type as everything else. A scoreboard that only reports flattering results is an advertisement.

One of these four claims about SMC is unfalsifiable. Find it.
