::: tip For Skill / AI Agent integrations
When you `POST /api/indicators?explain=true`, the response carries a `knowledge` block with this indicator's interpretation rubric. **Pass it to your LLM together with the numeric data** — don't make the LLM guess thresholds from memory. Full rubric lives at the [Chinese page](https://docs.mobiusquant.ai/zh/indicators/smc) (summary_focus / signals / caveats).
:::

This is a trend indicator developed in-house by MobiusQuant.
Math is aligned with TradingView Pine Script.
