Liquidity TriggersKey Points
Liquidity Triggers indicate:
Where liquidity-derived support levels are.
Where liquidity-derived resistance levels are.
When a large price increase is approaching via the Rip Currents .
- When a large price decrease is approaching via the Dip Currents .
Summary
Liquidity Triggers are produced by measuring liquidity and determining where supportive liquidity and resistance-liquidity are. These trigger-levels designate price-points where breakouts, breakthroughs, and bounces are anticipated.
Liquidity Triggers are dynamic, and they constantly re-evaluate liquidity conditions to determine where the next group of sellers or buyers are that can fuel rapid changes in price movement, such as initiating a trend change or stalling price-action completely.
To use, simply apply to your chart and monitor for Supportive Liquidity Triggers (LTs that are below price) for bounces, and Resistance Liquidity Triggers (LTs that are above price) for rejections.
You can also set Alerts designed specifically around the Liquidity Triggers.
Examples
Example 1: A quick look at LT Resistances and Supports. When a LT is above spot, then it is considered a resistance. When LT is below spot, it is considered a support.
Example 2: LTs can indicate to us when an upcoming Rip Current (large price appreciation) or a Dip Current (large price depreciation) is starting.
Here is an example of a Rip Current:
And here is a Dip Current:
Details
Liquidity Triggers come with a default load-out that utilizes several pre-configured settings for quick and easy start-up.
Triggers
The default triggers are labeled LT-1 through LT-7, these correspond ` orders ` that describe which type of liquidity is monitored. The two groups of traders that are monitored are the ` Eager ` and the ` Organic `.
The default triggers use the Fibonacci sequence to adjust their orders in a standardized way.
Triggers 1, 2, 3, and 4 monitor the ` Eager ` traders (with default settings) while triggers 5, 6, and 7 monitor the ` Organic `traders.
Eager Triggers represent profit-takers and dip-buyers .
When the Eager Triggers are above the price, they are ` selling the rip `, and when the Eager Triggers are below price, they are ` buying the dip `. These moments indicate growing pressure for a reversal. Eager triggers are any trigger with an order of 89 or less .
Organic Triggers represent value-seekers with long-term goals. When they are below price, they are areas of support and tend to fuel bounces, while when organic triggers that are above price are areas of resistance and often provoke rejections. Organic triggers are any trigger with an order of 90 or more .
Here's an example showing the faint eager liquidity triggers above spot, indicating profit-taking and below spot after a price-dip indicating dip-buying .
Customization
There are additional settings and configurations available to the Liquidity Triggers indicator that help customize your view of liquidity.
Smoothing
Smoothing can be applied to the triggers for a more peaceful showing. The smoothing options are:
None - Default.
Exponential-Moving Average (EMA) : Ideal for when you want the most recent activity to take higher priority.
Simple-Moving Average (SMA) : Ideal for when you want a smoother appearance but do not want to change the data too much.
Weighted-Moving Average (WMA): Ideal for when you want the smoothing to increase as the trigger order increases.
Modified-Moving Average (RMA): Produces the most smooth data.
Here is an example of how smoothing can change the appearance of LTs for easier analysis for when things get complicated:
Modifying the Default Load-out
The default loadout attempts to balance having a wide view of the data without bringing too many lines or values into the picture that might be too noisy, but these values can be added to customize and expand your view if desired.
The Fib load-out has the options with t he default load-out being .
Feel free to mix and match and explore which views you prefer when analyzing liquidity.
For example, for the extreme data-heads, you can add LDPM twice on the chart to get all of the orders displayed at once:
Liquidity Triggers - Granular Triggers
The granular trigger can be toggled on (default: off) for when candle-specific liquidity measurements desired. They can help identify which specific candles have eager and aggressive traders attempting to move spot: the further away the granular trigger is from the candle, the more force is being applied!
Manual LTs
If you’re not satisfied with the default options for triggers, you can set your own with the Manual Liquidity Triggers option.
Time-Based LTs
Time-based liquidity triggers give you a view of support and resistance triggers based off of the time chosen, rather than by an order. This allows you to construct “weekly Liquidity-Triggers” or “hourly Liquidity Triggers” to analyze and compare against.
Note: If the timeframes are too far apart, you might get an error. For instance, putting a 1-week reference LT onto a 30-second chart may not work.
Liquidity-Triggers Data-Table
With the `Display Liquidity Trigger Statuses and Values` option, you can place a data-table on the chart that will display the time-based triggers, their values, and if they are above (bearish) or below (bullish) spot.
Alerts
When you set alerts, you can determine which order is used for determining `Is bullish`, `Is Bearish`, `Has Become Bullish`, `Has Become Bearish` alerts in the LT Alert Order setting.
Several LT alerts are available to set:
Is Bullish / Bearish: these are designed to analyze conditions at the end of the candle and if spot is above the alert-trigger, then an alert is sent out that conditions are bullish, and if spot is below the alert-trigger, then an alert is sent out if conditions are bearish.
Has Become Bullish / Bearish: designed to analyze conditions at the start of a candle and determine if a change has occurred (a LT cross-over).
Suspected Rip Current: these are designed to alert you when a suspected upwards rip in price is underway, as characterized by all LT triggers moving rapidly down away from spot.
Suspected Dip Current: these are designed to alert you when a suspected downwards rip in price is underway, as characterized by all LT triggers moving rapidly up and above, away from spot.
These alerts can then be put into a webhook for external processing if desired.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I gain access to LT?
Check out the Author's Instructions section below.
Where can I get more information?
Check out the Author's Instructions section below for how to obtain more information.
I tried to add LT to my chart but it produced an error.
Sometimes this happens but no worries. Just change the chart's interval to a different time and then back, the indicator should re-load. If that fails, try removing it completely and re-applying it.
Is it normal for LTs to have different values on different timeframes?
Yup! Think of each time-interval as a different "zoom" of the market. Imagine you are taking a picture of the ocean to figure out the direction of water movement. If you take the picture from space, you will see big general trends but if you take the photo from your boat in the harbor, you're going to get specific data about that area. That's how LT works!
The view of the liquidity depends on the "zoom-age" (the chart's interval) used when taking the photo.
I think there is an issue with the alerts - what should I do?
This is not ideal! If this happens, please reach out via the contact information in the Author's Instructions section below with the following details:
What symbol?
What timeframe?
Which alert?
When did the alert occur?
Can I attach the alerts to webhooks?
Yup! Be sure to check out TV's guide on webhooks ( T.V. Guide to Alerts ) for how to get started.
Does LT receive updates?
Yup! If a bug or issue is found, an update is pushed out. You will be notified when this occurs and it is highly recommended that you replace all charts with LT on them with the new version as the updates go out.

ICT Concepts(Liquidity, FVG & Liquidity Sweeps)📄 Description:
A Smart Money Concept (SMC)-based utility that blends ICT-style Liquidity Sweeps, Fair Value Gap (FVG) mapping, and Swing Structure proxies – designed for traders seeking clean precision in price imbalance analysis.
⸻
🔍 1. What This Script Does
T his indicator brings together three core Institutional Concepts:
• Liquidity Sweep Detection : Identifies buy/sell-side liquidity grabs (fakeouts) confirmed by volume spikes – a common precursor to institutional order flow shifts.
• Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) : Highlights inefficiencies between price legs using strict ICT-style 3-candle or gap-based rules. These are areas institutions often revisit.
• Swing Structure Proxy (OB Mapping) : Tracks dynamic swing highs/lows to act as proxy zones for potential order blocks and structural boundaries.
It also includes a cooldown-based signal filtering engine to prevent overfitting and noise, helping traders avoid false positives in choppy markets.
⚙️ 2. How It Works (Core Logic)
✅ A. Liquidity Sweep Engine
• Looks back N bars to find Equal Highs or Equal Lows.
• Triggers a signal only if price sweeps the level and closes on the other side with a volume spike.
• Customizable volume threshold (e.g., 1.5x average volume).
• Includes a signal cooldown period to reduce clutter and boost quality.
Bullish Sweep = Price dips below equal lows but closes higher
Bearish Sweep = Price spikes above equal highs but closes lower
Visuals: Signal arrows with alerts (BUY LQ / SELL LQ)
⸻
✅ B. Fair Value Gap (FVG) Zones
• Detects FVGs using:
• Sequential logic: Low > High (bullish), High < Low (bearish)
• Gap logic: Open gaps at bar open
• Dynamic box drawing:
• Automatically extends FVG zones until price fully closes through them.
• Different color coding for bullish (teal) and bearish (orange) gaps.
• Customizable:
• Opacity control
• Option to include/exclude gap-based FVGs
• Hide filled zones
• Limit total zones rendered (for performance)
⸻
✅ C. Swing High/Low Structure
• Uses a lookback period to find latest swing high/low levels.
• Acts as a proxy for Order Block zones or structural shift reference points.
• Plotted as red (high) and green (low) lines.
⸻
🚀 3. How to Use It
• Scalpers and Intraday Traders can use Liquidity Sweep + FVG Confluence to time reversals or catch early entries into trend continuation moves.
• Swing Traders can observe swing OB proxies and recent FVG zones to frame directional bias and target zones.
• Volume-Aware Traders benefit from the volume filter that confirms sweeps are meaningful – not just random stop hunts.
🔔 Set alerts on:
• Bullish Liquidity Sweeps
• Bearish Liquidity Sweeps
You can use this in combination with your own trend filters, or even confluence it with Order Blocks, VWAP, or EMA trend tools.
⸻
💡 What Makes It Original?
• The script doesn’t merely combine standard tools — it builds a cohesive ICT-style detection system using:
• A custom volume-confirmed liquidity sweep filter
• Dynamic FVG rendering with filled logic + performance optimization
• Visual hierarchy to avoid clutter: clean line plots, contextual boxes, and conditional signals
• Highly customizable yet lightweight, making it suitable for fast-paced decision making.
⸻
✅ Notes
• Invite-only script for serious traders interested in Smart Money and ICT concepts.
• Does not repaint signals.
• All visuals are dynamically managed for clarity and performance.
Anchored Session Volume Profile • Heatmap Profiles • Asia/EU/US Description
This indicator builds Anchored Session Volume Profiles for Asia, EU, and US sessions on intraday charts and renders them as right-docked line histograms (heatmap or classic style). Each session computes its own POC, VAH, VAL and optional Session High/Low lines. An optional per-price-bin Delta overlay estimates buy/sell pressure inside the profile rows for quick order-flow context.
What’s unique
Three independent session anchors (Asia/EU/US) with custom start/end times, bin size in ticks, and Value Area %.
Right-fixed live rendering or post-close persistence (draw levels only after the session closes).
Adaptive width: profile width scales with elapsed session length (anchor → now/end) within user limits.
Heatmap profile: row tint scales by relative volume; or Classic single-color with optional gradient.
Per-row Delta ticks (outside/inside, configurable direction) derived from bar delta and overlap with each price bin.
Clean POC/VAH/VAL line styling, optional ray extension, and Session High/Low rays per session.
How it works (technical)
Binning: Rows are built with a user-defined bin height in ticks. Arrays expand/shrink as price extends; the base is shifted when new lows appear to keep bins aligned.
Accumulation: For each bar within the active session window, traded volume is distributed to intersecting bins proportionally to the price overlap with that bin.
Value Area: POC is the highest-volume bin. VA is grown symmetrically around the POC until the selected coverage (VA%) is reached.
Delta per bin (optional): A bar-level delta proxy volume * (close − open) / range (clamped) is split into buy/sell and allocated to bins proportionally to the same overlap share, producing a per-row delta magnitude for rendering ticks.
Rendering modes:
Right fixed: refreshes each bar; lines/histogram are docked at the anchor X-position.
Draw Levels after Session Close: on close, only POC/VAH/VAL (and optional Session High/Low) are persisted.
No lookahead: All computations use confirmed bars; levels are deterministic on close.
How to use
Use the Asia/EU/US profiles to read participation hand-offs and session-driven rotations.
Trade off POC/VAH/VAL as acceptance/rejection references; confluence with session High/Low often marks responsive flows.
Employ Delta ticks per row to spot absorption, one-sided stacking, or fading participation inside the profile without leaving TradingView.
Prefer right-fixed during live trading and post-close when you want persistent session levels.
Key settings
General per session: Start/End (hh:mm), Bin size (ticks), Value Area %, toggle POC/VAH/VAL lines.
Rendering: Heatmap vs. Classic, orientation (Left/Right), gradient on/off, row thickness, right offset, adaptive width limits.
Delta (per price bin): global on/off, per-session on/off, tick width, max tick length (bars), outside/inside placement, direction (sign-based / always left / always right), colors.
Levels: POC/VAH/VAL styles (solid/dashed/dotted), widths, colors, extend right (ray).
Session High/Low: per-session on/off, style, width, colors, optional right-ray extension.
Notes & limitations
Designed for intraday data; accuracy depends on the feed’s volume granularity.
Large histories + small bins + delta ticks can be heavy; tune bin size, adaptive width, and delta max length for performance.
Timezone for anchors is set internally to Europe/Berlin.

Liquidity Zones - Joe v1This script lets you plot liquidity/order levels (similar to what you see on Bookmap) directly on your TradingView chart.
It is designed to help traders spot support/resistance levels where large limit orders sit and to visualize whether those liquidity pools are still active, already taken, or being replenished.
Key Features
Session-based
Works during a defined trading session.
Resets automatically at the first bar of the session.
Up to 8 Liquidity Zones, each of which includes:
Price level
Size (affects line thickness)
Status (Active, Taken, Re-Stocking, or Automatic).
Zone Statuses
Active → Untouched liquidity (potential support/resistance).
Taken → Liquidity consumed after price trades through it.
Re-Stocking → Level is being reloaded with fresh orders.
Automatic → Updates dynamically (switches to Taken when crossed, otherwise stays Active).
Visual Representation
Zones are drawn as horizontal lines.
Labels show price + size (e.g., 4010 (200k)).
Customizable line styles and colors:
Active = solid red
Taken = gray dashed
Re-Stocking = purple dotted
Dynamic Updates
Levels automatically update during the session.
If price crosses a zone → it’s marked as Taken.
Labels, line styles, and colors adjust live.
Line thickness = zone size ÷ 10 → visually represents liquidity strength.
How this indicator is Used
Upon market open, the order book tends to fill with limit orders. Using Bookmap, you can see where these orders are placed at each relative price point, along with their sizes. The most important ones to focus on are the larger levels, which are typically highlighted in reddish tones (depending on your Bookmap settings).
I then manually enter these levels into this indicator. It only takes a few seconds, and since there’s no direct way to connect TradingView to Bookmap, this method works as an effective workaround. Once entered, the levels will stay visible on your TradingView chart.
This seemingly simple script is very powerful and provides a strong edge. More often than not, price action gravitates toward these larger liquidity levels. Remember, the price of a security is influenced by market makers whose role is to fill orders and earn commissions on transactions. They have little interest in arbitrarily pushing price higher or lower; instead, their primary function is to guide price toward liquidity—where the large orders sit.
Of course, this is a general principle, and many other variables can affect price movement. Still, by keeping this concept in mind, you’ll often find yourself on the right side of the market.
Liquidity Grab Strategy SuvorovLiquidity grab strategy
Description:
This indicator is built around the Liquidity Grab Strategy, which identifies and reacts to stop hunts and false breakouts at key swing highs and lows. It detects where liquidity is likely to be resting (e.g., above highs or below lows) and provides trade signals when that liquidity is taken and price begins to reverse.
Core Features:
Liquidity Detection: Automatically identifies and marks key swing highs and lows where stop-losses are likely to accumulate.
Entry Signals: Generates BUY/SELL signals after a liquidity sweep and a confirmed reversal — based on price action, volume, or structure shifts.
Stop Loss & Take Profit Zones: Visualizes stop-loss just beyond the liquidity wick and take-profit near the next major structure point, with configurable Risk/Reward ratios.
False Signal Filters: Optional filters based on volume spikes, RSI divergence, or market structure confirmation.
Multi-Timeframe Logic: Supports separate timeframes for structure detection and signal confirmation (e.g., structure on 1H, entry on 5m).

Estimated Manipulation Movement Signal [AlgoPoint]Follow the Footprints of Whale Movements That Drive the Market
Overview
The market is not always driven by natural supply and demand. Large players—often called "whales" or institutions—can create artificial price movements to trigger stop-losses, induce panic or FOMO, and build their large positions at favorable prices. These events are known as "stop hunts" or "liquidity grabs."
The EMMS indicator is a specialized tool designed to detect these specific moments of potential market manipulation. It does not follow trends in a traditional sense; instead, it identifies high-probability reversal points created by the calculated actions of Smart Money trapping other market participants.
How It Works: The 3-Module Logic
The indicator uses a multi-stage confirmation process to identify a potential stop hunt:
1. Anomaly Detection: The engine first scans the chart for "Anomaly Candles." These are candles with unusually high volume and a very long wick relative to their body. This combination signals a sudden, forceful, and potentially unnatural price push.
2. Liquidity Zone Detection: The indicator automatically identifies and tracks recent significant swing highs and lows. These levels are considered "Liquidity Zones" because they are areas where a large number of stop-loss orders are likely clustered. These are the "hunting grounds" for whales.
3. The Stop Hunt Signal: A final signal is generated only when these two events align in a specific sequence:
An Anomaly Candle (high volume, long wick) spikes through a previously identified Liquidity Zone.
The same candle then reverses, closing back inside the previous price range.
This sequence confirms that the move was likely a "trap" designed to engineer liquidity, and a reversal in the opposite direction is now highly probable.
How to Interpret & Use This Indicator
BUY Signal: A BUY signal appears after a sharp price drop that pierces a recent swing low (taking out the stops of long positions) and then aggressively reverses to close higher. This suggests that Smart Money has absorbed the panic selling they just induced. The signal indicates a potential move UP.
SELL Signal: A SELL signal appears after a sharp price spike that pierces a recent swing high (taking out the stops of short positions) and then aggressively reverses to close lower. This suggests that Smart Money has sold into the FOMO buying they just created. The signal indicates a potential move DOWN.
This indicator is best used as a high-probability confirmation tool, ideally in conjunction with your understanding of the overall market trend and structure.
⚪ Liquidity Spike Marker
Description:
The Liquidity Spike Marker indicator helps to identify abnormal bursts of liquidity in the market. The logic is based on comparing the product of the volume by the minimum candle price (Volume × Low) with the threshold value set by the user.
When the value exceeds the threshold, a white triangle appears under the candle, indicating a possible influx of liquidity. This can help traders pay attention to the key points where large participants may enter the market.
Features:
Displays a placemark (⚪ white triangle) when the threshold is exceeded.
Configurable parameter Volume × Low Threshold.
The ability to set an alert for automatic notification.
A lightweight and minimalistic tool without unnecessary elements.
Note: The indicator is not a trading recommendation. Use it in combination with your own trading system and other analysis methods.
VWAP + Range Breakout (Pre-Signal for Manual Entry)WHAT IT DOES
This tool highlights potential breakout opportunities when price sweeps the previous day’s high or low and aligns with VWAP and short-term range levels. It provides both pre-signals (early warnings) and confirmed signals (breakout closed) so traders can prepare before momentum accelerates.

ICT Turtle Soup (Riz)The ICT Turtle Soup Complete System is an advanced implementation of the Inner Circle Trader's interpretation of the classic Turtle Soup pattern, designed to identify and trade liquidity sweeps at key market levels. This strategy capitalizes on the systematic stop-loss hunting behavior of institutional traders by detecting when price temporarily breaches significant support/resistance levels to trigger retail stop-losses, then quickly reverses direction.
Core Trading Logic
Liquidity Sweep Detection Method
The strategy monitors five critical liquidity pools where retail traders commonly place stop-loss orders:
⦁ Yesterday's High/Low: Previous daily session extremes
⦁ Daily High/Low: Rolling 20-day period extremes
⦁ 4-Hour High/Low: 30-period extremes on 4H timeframe
⦁ 1-Hour High/Low: 50-period extremes on hourly timeframe
⦁ Recent High/Low: Current timeframe extremes (20-40 bars based on trading mode)
Entry Signal Generation Process
Buy Signal (Sell-Side Liquidity Sweep):
1. Price penetrates below a key support level by a minimum threshold (5-15 ticks depending on signal quality settings)
2. The penetration bar must show strong rejection with at least 30-50% of the candle's range closing back above the swept level
3. Multi-timeframe confirmation checks for structure shift on lower timeframe (break of recent swing high)
4. Confluence scoring system evaluates 7 factors, requiring minimum 3 confirmations:
⦁ Liquidity sweep detected (weighted 2x)
⦁ Higher timeframe bullish market structure
⦁ Lower timeframe bullish break of structure
⦁ Bullish Fair Value Gap presence
⦁ Bullish Order Block formation
⦁ ICT Kill Zone timing alignment
Sell Signal (Buy-Side Liquidity Sweep):
Mirror opposite of buy signal logic, detecting sweeps above resistance levels with bearish rejection.
Risk Management & Position Sizing
Stop Loss Placement:
⦁ Calculated using ATR (Average True Range) multiplied by an adaptive factor
⦁ Base multipliers: Scalping (1.0x), Day Trading (1.5x), Swing Trading (2.0x)
⦁ Further adjusted by signal quality: Conservative (-20%), Balanced (0%), Aggressive (+20%)
⦁ Positioned beyond the liquidity sweep point to avoid re-sweeping
Take Profit Targets:
⦁ TP1: 2.0R (Risk-Reward ratio)
⦁ TP2: 3.5R
⦁ TP3: 5.0R
⦁ All levels rounded to tick precision for accurate order placement
Advanced Features & Filters
Multi-Timeframe Structure Analysis
The system performs top-down analysis across three timeframes:
⦁ Higher Timeframe (HTF): Determines primary trend bias
⦁ Medium Timeframe (MTF): Confirms intermediate structure
⦁ Lower Timeframe (LTF): Identifies precise entry triggers
ICT Kill Zones
Incorporates time-based filtering for optimal trading sessions:
⦁ Asian Session (8PM-12AM UTC)
⦁ London Session (2AM-5AM UTC)
⦁ New York Session (7AM-10AM UTC)
⦁ London Close (10AM-12PM UTC)
Smart Money Concepts Integration
⦁ Fair Value Gaps (FVG): Identifies and displays price inefficiencies that act as magnets
⦁ Order Blocks: Marks institutional accumulation/distribution zones
⦁ Mitigation Detection: Automatically removes FVGs and Order Blocks when price fills them
⦁ Duplicate Sweep Prevention: 10-bar lookback prevents multiple signals at same level
Adaptive Trading Modes
Three pre-configured modes automatically adjust all parameters:
⦁ Scalping: Tight stops, quick targets, 15-minute to 1-hour focus
⦁ Day Trading: Balanced approach, 4-hour to daily analysis
⦁ Swing Trading: Wide stops, extended targets, daily to weekly perspective
⦁ Custom Mode: Full manual control of all parameters
Signal Quality Management
⦁ Conservative: Requires 5/7 confluence factors, tighter sweep threshold (5 ticks), 50% minimum rejection
⦁ Balanced: Standard 3/7 confluence, moderate threshold (10 ticks), 30% rejection
⦁ Aggressive: Only 2/7 confluence needed, wider threshold (15 ticks), 20% rejection
Visual Components & Dashboard
Real-Time Information Panel
Displays current market conditions including:
⦁ Active trading mode and quality settings
⦁ Timeframe configuration (HTF/MTF/LTF)
⦁ Market bias from higher timeframes
⦁ Current kill zone status

⦁ Scalping Mode: 1-minute to 5-minute charts
⦁ Day Trading Mode: 5-minute to 15-minute charts
⦁ Swing Trading Mode: 1-hour to 4-hour charts
Optimal Market Conditions
⦁ Works best in ranging or trending markets with clear support/resistance levels
⦁ Most effective during high-liquidity sessions (London/New York overlap)
⦁ Avoid using during major news events unless specifically targeting news-driven sweeps
Signal Interpretation
1. Wait for triangle signal (up/down) with confluence score
2. Verify the swept level shown in the dashboard
3. Confirm risk-reward ratios match your trading plan
4. Enter at market or set limit order at indicated entry level
5. Place stop-loss and take-profit orders at displayed levels
Customization Tips
⦁ Adjust Signal Quality based on market volatility (Conservative for volatile, Aggressive for quiet)
⦁ Modify sweep threshold if getting too many/few signals
⦁ Toggle individual liquidity levels based on their relevance to your timeframe
⦁ Use Kill Zone filter for session-specific trading
Risk Disclaimer
This indicator identifies potential trade setups based on liquidity sweep patterns but does not guarantee profitable outcomes. Past performance does not indicate future results. Always use proper risk management and never risk more than you can afford to lose. The indicator should be used as part of a comprehensive trading plan that includes your own analysis and risk tolerance assessment.

Apex Edge – HTF Overlay Candles“Trade your 5m chart with the eyes of the 1H — Apex Edge brings higher-timeframe structure and liquidity sweeps directly onto your execution chart.”
Apex Edge – HTF Overlay Candles
The Apex Edge – HTF Overlay Candles indicator overlays higher-timeframe (HTF) candles directly onto your lower-timeframe chart. Instead of flipping between timeframes, you see HTF structure “breathe” live on your execution chart.
What It Does
• HTF Body Boxes → open/close zones drawn as semi-transparent rectangles.
• HTF Wick Boxes → high/low extremes projected as envelopes around each body.
• Midpoint Line → a dynamic equilibrium line that flips bias as price trades above or below.
• Sweep Arrows → one-time markers showing the first liquidity raid at HTF highs or lows.
Under the Hood
This isn’t just a visual overlay — it’s engineered for accuracy and performance in PineScript.
1. HTF Data Retrieval
• Uses request.security() to import open, high, low, close, time from any selected HTF.
• lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off ensures OHLC values update bar by bar as the HTF
candle builds.
• When the HTF bar closes, boxes and midpoint lock to historical values — matching the
native HTF chart exactly.
2. Box Construction
• Body box: built from HTF open → close.
• Wick box: built from HTF high → low.
• Boxes extend dynamically across each HTF period, updating in real time, then freeze at
close.
3. Midpoint Logic
• (htfOpen + htfClose) / 2 calculates intrabar midpoint.
• Line drawn edge-to-edge across the active HTF body.
• Style, width, color, and opacity are user-controlled.
4. Sweep Detection
• Flags (sweepedHigh / sweepedLow) prevent clutter: only the first tap per side per HTF
candle is marked.
• Lower-timeframe price breaking the HTF high/low triggers the sweep arrow.
• Arrows are offset above/below wick envelopes for clean visuals.
5. Customisation
• Every layer (body, wick, midpoint, arrows) has independent color + opacity settings.
• Arrow size, arrow color, and transparency are adjustable.
• Default HTF = 1H (perfect for 5m/15m traders) but can be switched to 30m, 4H, Daily,
etc.
Why It’s Useful
• HTF intent + LTF execution without chart hopping.
• Liquidity mapping: see where liquidity is swept in real time.
• Bias clarity: midpoint line defines HTF equilibrium.
• Clean signals: only the first sweep prints — no spam.
What Makes It Different
Most MTF overlays just plot candles or single lines. This tool:
• Splits body vs wick zones for institutional precision.
• Updates live intrabar (no repainting).
• Highlights liquidity sweeps clearly.
• Built for readability and professional use — not another retail signal toy.
Cheat-Sheet Playbook
1️⃣ Structure Bias
• Above midpoint line = bullish intent.
• Below midpoint line = bearish intent.
• Chop around midpoint = no clear direction.
2️⃣ Liquidity Sweeps
• ▲ Green up arrow below wick box = sell-side liquidity taken → watch for longs.
• ▼ Red down arrow above wick box = buy-side liquidity taken → watch for shorts.
• First sweep is the cleanest.
3️⃣ Trade Logic
• Body box = where institutions transact.
• Wick box = liquidity traps.
• Midpoint = bias filter.
• Best setups occur when sweep + midpoint flip align.
4️⃣ Example (5m + 1H Overlay)
1. ▲ Green up arrow prints below HTF wick.
2. Price reclaims the body box.
3. Midpoint flips to support.
4. Enter long → stop below sweep → targets = midpoint first, opposite wick second.
In short:
• Boxes = structure
• Wicks = liquidity pools
• Midpoint = bias line
• Arrows = liquidity sweeps
This is your SMC edge on one chart — HTF structure and liquidity fused directly into your execution timeframe.
HTF Swing High and Low pivotsIndicator plots the swing high and low point from the chosen time frame. Solid lines are active levels, dashed lines are broken levels. Levels can be seen on low timeframes. Stack of levels act as a magnet for price to move to (not always, but most of the time). Look for reversals in these areas.
Volume Bubbles & Liquidity Heatmap [LuxAlgo]The Volume Bubbles & Liquidity Heatmap indicator highlights volume and liquidity clearly and precisely with its volume bubbles and liquidity heat map, allowing to identify key price areas.
Customize the bubbles with different time frames and different display modes: total volume, buy and sell volume, or delta volume.
🔶 USAGE
The primary objective of this tool is to offer traders a straightforward method for analyzing volume on any selected timeframe.
By default, the tool displays buy and sell volume bubbles for the daily timeframe over the last 2,000 bars. Traders should be aware of the difference between the timeframe of the chart and that of the bubbles.
The tool also displays a liquidity heat map to help traders identify price areas where liquidity accumulates or is lacking.
🔹 Volume Bubbles
The bubbles have three possible display modes:
Total Volume: Displays the total volume of trades per bubble.
Buy & Sell Volume: Each bubble is divided into buy and sell volume.
Delta Volume: Displays the difference between buy and sell volume.
Each bubble represents the trading volume for a given period. By default, the timeframe for each bubble is set to daily, meaning each bubble represents the trading volume for each day.
The size of each bubble is proportional to the volume traded; a larger bubble indicates greater volume, while a smaller bubble indicates lower volume.
The color of each bubble indicates the dominant volume: green for buy volume and red for sell volume.
One of the tool's main goals is to facilitate simple, clear, multi-timeframe volume analysis.
The previous chart shows Delta Volume bubbles with various chart and bubble timeframe configurations.
To correctly visualize the bubbles, traders must ensure there is a sufficient number of bars per bubble. This is achieved by using a lower chart timeframe and a higher bubble timeframe.
As can be seen in the image above, the greater the difference between the chart and bubble timeframes, the better the visualization.
🔹 Liquidity Heatmap
The other main element of the tool is the liquidity heatmap. By default, it divides the chart into 25 different price areas and displays the accumulated trading volume on each.
The image above shows a 4-hour BTC chart displaying only the liquidity heatmap. Traders should be aware of these key price areas and observe how the price behaves in them, looking for possible opportunities to engage with the market.
The main parameters for controlling the heatmap on the settings panel are Rows and Cell Minimum Size. Rows modifies the number of horizontal price areas displayed, while Cell Minimum Size modifies the minimum size of each liquidity cell in each row.
As can be seen in the above BTC hourly chart, the cell size is 24 at the top and 168 at the bottom. The cells are smaller on top and bigger on the bottom.
The color of each cell reflects the liquidity size with a gradient; this reflects the total volume traded within each cell. The default colors are:
Red: larger liquidity
Yellow: medium liquidity
Blue: lower liquidity
🔹 Using Both Tools Together
This indicator provides the means to identify directional bias and market timing.
The main idea is that if buyers are strong, prices are likely to increase, and if sellers are strong, prices are likely to decrease. This gives us a directional bias for opening long or short positions. Then, we combine our directional bias with price rejection or acceptance of key liquidity levels to determine the timing of opening or closing our positions.
Now, let's review some charts.
This first chart is BTC 1H with Delta Weekly Bubbles. Delta Bubbles measure the difference between buy and sell volume, so we can easily see which group is dominant (buyers or sellers) and how strong they are in any given week. This, along with the key price areas displayed by the Liquidity Heatmap, can help us navigate the markets.
We divided market behavior into seven groups, and each group has several bubbles, numbered from 1 to 17.
Bubbles 1, 2, and 3: After strong buyers market consolidates with positive delta, prices move up next week.
Bubbles 3, 4, and 5: Strength changes from buyers to sellers. Next week, prices go down.
Bubbles 6 and 7: The market trades at higher prices, but with negative delta. Next week, prices go down.
Bubbles 7, 8, and 9: Strength changes from sellers to buyers. Next weeks (9 and 10), prices go up.
Bubbles 10, 11, and 12: After strong buyers prices trade higher with a negative delta. Next weeks (12 and 13) prices go down.
Bubbles 12, 14, and 15: Strength changes from sellers to buyers; next week, prices increase.
Bubbles 15 and 16: The market trades higher with a very small positive delta; next week, prices go down.
Current bubble/week 17 is not yet finished. Right now, it is trading lower, but with a smaller negative delta than last week. This may signal that sellers are losing strength and that a potential reversal will follow, with prices trading higher.
This is the same BTC 1H chart, but with price rejections from key liquidity areas acting as strong price barriers.
When prices reach a key area with strong liquidity and are rejected, it signals a good time to take action.
By observing price behavior at certain key price levels, we can improve our timing for entering or exiting the markets.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Bubbles Display
From the settings panel, traders can configure the bubbles with four main parameters: Mode, Timeframe, Size%, and Shape.
The image above shows five-minute BTC charts with execution over the last 3,500 bars, different display modes, a daily timeframe, 100% size, and shape one.
The Size % parameter controls the overall size of the bubbles, while the Shape parameter controls their vertical growth.
Since the chart has two scales, one for time and one for price, traders can use the Shape parameter to make the bubbles round.
The chart above shows the same bubbles with different size and shape parameters.
You can also customize data labels and timeframe separators from the settings panel.

Liquidity Pro Map [ChartPrime]⯁ OVERVIEW
Liquidity Pro Map is a market-structure tool that simulates liquidity distribution by splitting price history into buy-side and sell-side profiles. Using candle volume and the standard deviation of close, the indicator builds two mirrored volume maps on the right-hand side of the chart. It also extends liquidity levels backwards in time until they are crossed by price, allowing you to see which zones remain untouched and where liquidity is most likely resting. Cumulative skew lines and highlighted POC levels give additional clarity on imbalance between buyers and sellers.
⯁ KEY FEATURES
Dual Liquidity Profiles: The chart is divided into buy-side (green) and sell-side (red) liquidity profiles, letting you instantly compare both sides of order flow.
Level Extension Logic: Each liquidity level is extended back in time until price crosses it. If not crossed, it persists all the way to the indicator’s lookback period, marking zones that remain “untapped.”
Dynamic Binning with Standard Deviation: The indicator distributes candle volumes into bins using close-price deviation, creating a more realistic liquidity map than static price levels.
priceDeviation = ta.stdev(close, 25) * 2
priceReference = close > open ? low - priceDeviation : high + priceDeviation
Cumulative Volume Skew Lines: Polylines on the right-hand side show the aggregated buy and sell volume profiles, making it easy to spot imbalance.
POC Identification: Highest-volume levels on both sides are marked as POC (Point of Control) , providing key zones of interest.
Clear Color Coding: Gradient shading intensifies with volume concentration—dark teal/green for buy zones, dark pink/red for sell zones.
⯁ HOW IT WORKS (UNDER THE HOOD)
Volume Distribution: Each bar’s volume is assigned to a price bin based on its reference price (close ± standard deviation offset).
Buy vs. Sell Splitting: If bins above last close price, volume is allocated to sell-side liquidity; otherwise, it’s allocated to buy-side liquidity.
Level Extension: Boxes marking liquidity bins extend back until crossed by price. If uncrossed, they anchor all the way to the start of the lookback window.
Cumulative Polylines: As bins are stacked, cumulative buy and sell values form skew polylines plotted at the right edge.
POC Levels: The highest-volume bin on each side is highlighted with labels and arrows, marking where the heaviest liquidity is concentrated.
⯁ USAGE
Use buy/sell profiles to see where liquidity is likely resting. Green shelves suggest potential support zones; red shelves suggest resistance or sell liquidity pools.
Watch untouched extended levels —these often become magnets for price as liquidity is swept.
Track POC levels as primary liquidity targets, where reactions or fakeouts are most common.
Compare cumulative skew lines to judge which side dominates in volume. Heavy buy skew may indicate absorption of sell pressure, and vice versa.
Adjust lookback period to switch between intraday liquidity maps and larger swing-based profiles.
Use separator feature to hide bins borders for better visual clarity.
Use as a confluence tool with OBs, support/resistance, and liquidity sweep setups.
⯁ CONCLUSION
Liquidity Pro Map transforms candle volume into a structured simulation of where liquidity may rest across the chart. By dividing buy vs. sell profiles, extending untouched levels, and marking cumulative skew and POC, it equips traders with a clear visual map of potential liquidity pools. This allows for better anticipation of sweeps, reversals, and areas of high market activity.
Structural Liquidity Signals [BullByte]Structural Liquidity Signals (SFP, FVG, BOS, AVWAP)
Short description
Detects liquidity sweeps (SFPs) at pivots and PD/W levels, highlights the latest FVG, tracks AVWAP stretch, arms percentile extremes, and triggers after confirmed micro BOS.
Full description
What this tool does
Structural Liquidity Signals shows where price likely tapped liquidity (stop clusters), then waits for structure to actually change before it prints a trigger. It spots:
Liquidity sweeps (SFPs) at recent pivots and at prior day/week highs/lows.
The latest Fair Value Gap (FVG) that often “pulls” price or serves as a reaction zone.
How far price is stretched from two VWAP anchors (one from the latest impulse, one from today’s session), scaled by ATR so it adapts to volatility.
A “percentile” extreme of an internal score. At extremes the script “arms” a setup; it only triggers after a small break of structure (BOS) on a closed bar.
Originality and design rationale, why it’s not “just a mashup”
This is not a mashup for its own sake. It’s a purpose-built flow that links where liquidity is likely to rest with how structure actually changes:
- Liquidity location: We focus on areas where stops commonly cluster—recent pivots and prior day/week highs/lows—then detect sweeps (SFPs) when price wicks beyond and closes back inside.
- Displacement context: We track the last Fair Value Gap (FVG) to account for recent inefficiency that often acts as a magnet or reaction zone.
- Stretch measurement: We anchor VWAP to the latest N-bar impulse and to the Daily session, then normalize stretch by ATR to assess dislocation consistently across assets/timeframes.
- Composite exhaustion: We combine stretch, wick skew, and volume surprise, then bend the result with a tanh transform so extremes are bounded and comparable.
- Dynamic extremes and discipline: Rather than triggering on every sweep, we “arm” at statistical extremes via percent-rank and only fire after a confirmed micro Break of Structure (BOS). This separates “interesting” from “actionable.”
Key concepts
SFP (liquidity sweep): A candle briefly trades beyond a level (where stops sit) and closes back inside. We detect these at:
Pivots (recent swing highs/lows confirmed by “left/right” bars).
Prior Day/Week High/Low (PDH/PDL/PWH/PWL).
FVG (Fair Value Gap): A small 3‑bar gap (bar2 high vs bar1 low, or vice versa). The latest gap often acts like a magnet or reaction zone. We track the most recent Up/Down gap and whether price is inside it.
AVWAP stretch: Distance from an Anchored VWAP divided by ATR (volatility). We use:
Impulse AVWAP: resets on each new N‑bar high/low.
Daily AVWAP: resets each new session.
PR (Percentile Rank): Where the current internal score sits versus its own recent history (0..100). We arm shorts at high PR, longs at low PR.
Micro BOS: A small break of the recent high (for longs) or low (for shorts). This is the “go/no‑go” confirmation.
How the parts work together
Find likely liquidity grabs (SFPs) at pivots and PD/W levels.
Add context from the latest FVG and AVWAP stretch (how far price is from “fair”).
Build a bounded score (so different markets/timeframes are comparable) and compute its percentile (PR).
Arm at extremes (high PR → short candidate; low PR → long candidate).
Only print a trigger after a micro BOS, on a closed bar, with spacing/cooldown rules.
What you see on the chart (legend)
Lines:
Teal line = Impulse AVWAP (resets on new N‑bar extreme).
Aqua line = Daily AVWAP (resets each session).
PDH/PDL/PWH/PWL = prior day/week levels (toggle on/off).
Zones:
Greenish box = latest Up FVG; Reddish box = latest Down FVG.
The shading/border changes after price trades back through it.
SFP labels:
SFP‑P = SFP at Pivot (dotted line marks that pivot’s price).
SFP‑L = SFP at Level (at PDH/PDL/PWH/PWL).
Throttle: To reduce clutter, SFPs are rate‑limited per direction.
Triggers:
Triangle up = long trigger after BOS; triangle down = short trigger after BOS.
Optional badge shows direction and PR at the moment of trigger.
Optional Trigger Zone is an ATR‑sized box around the trigger bar’s close (for visualization only).
Background:
Light green/red shading = a long/short setup is “armed” (not a trigger).
Dashboard (Mini/Pro) — what each item means
PR: Percentile of the internal score (0..100). Near 0 = bullish extreme, near 100 = bearish extreme.
Gauge: Text bar that mirrors PR.
State: Idle, Armed Long (with a countdown), or Armed Short.
Cooldown: Bars remaining before a new setup can arm after a trigger.
Bars Since / Last Px: How long since last trigger and its price.
FVG: Whether price is in the latest Up/Down FVG.
Imp/Day VWAP Dist, PD Dist(ATR): Distance from those references in ATR units.
ATR% (Gate), Trend(HTF): Status of optional regime filters (volatility/trend).
How to use it (step‑by‑step)
Keep the Safety toggles ON (default): triggers/visuals on bar‑close, optional confirmed HTF for trend slope.
Choose timeframe:
Intraday (5m–1h) or Swing (1h–4h). On very fast/thin charts, enable Performance mode and raise spacing/cooldown.
Watch the dashboard:
When PR reaches an extreme and an SFP context is present, the background shades (armed).
Wait for the trigger triangle:
It prints only after a micro BOS on a closed bar and after spacing/cooldown checks.
Use the Trigger Zone box as a visual reference only:
This script never tells you to buy/sell. Apply your own plan for entry, stop, and sizing.
Example:
Bullish: Sweep under PDL (SFP‑L) and reclaim; PR in lower tail arms long; BOS up confirms → long trigger on bar close (ATR-sized trigger zone shown).
Bearish: Sweep above PDH/pivot (SFP‑L/P) and reject; PR in upper tail arms short; BOS down confirms → short trigger on bar close (ATR-sized trigger zone shown).
Settings guide (with “when to adjust”)
Safety & Stability (defaults ON)
Confirm triggers at bar close, Draw visuals at bar close: Keep ON for clean, stable prints.
Use confirmed HTF values: Applies to HTF trend slope only; keeps it from changing until the HTF bar closes.
Performance mode: Turn ON if your chart is busy or laggy.
Core & Context
ATR Length: Bigger = smoother distances; smaller = more reactive.
Impulse AVWAP Anchor: Larger = fewer resets; smaller = resets more often.
Show Daily AVWAP: ON if you want session context.
Use last FVG in logic: ON to include FVG context in arming/score.
Show PDH/PDL/PWH/PWL: ON to see prior day/week levels that often attract sweeps.
Liquidity & Microstructure
Pivot Left/Right: Higher values = stronger/rarer pivots.
Min Wick Ratio (0..1): Higher = only more pronounced SFP wicks qualify.
BOS length: Larger = stricter BOS; smaller = quicker confirmations.
Signal persistence: Keeps SFP context alive for a few bars to avoid flicker.
Signal Gating
Percent‑Rank Lookback: Larger = more stable extremes; smaller = more reactive extremes.
Arm thresholds (qHi/qLo): Move closer to 0.5 to see more arms; move toward 0/1 to see fewer arms.
TTL, Cooldown, Min bars and Min ATR distance: Space out triggers so you’re not reacting to minor noise.
Regime Filters (optional)
ATR percentile gate: Only allow triggers when volatility is at/above a set percentile.
HTF trend gate: Only allow longs when the HTF slope is up (and shorts when it’s down), above a minimum slope.
Visuals & UX
Only show “important” SFPs: Filters pivot SFPs by Volume Z and |Impulse stretch|.
Trigger badges/history and Max badge count: Control label clutter.
Compact labels: Toggle SFP‑P/L vs full names.
Dashboard mode and position; Dark theme.
Reading PR (the built‑in “oscillator”)
PR ~ 0–10: Potential bullish extreme (long side can arm).
PR ~ 90–100: Potential bearish extreme (short side can arm).
Important: “Armed” ≠ “Enter.” A trigger still needs a micro BOS on a closed bar and spacing/cooldown to pass.
Repainting, confirmations, and HTF notes
By default, prints wait for the bar to close; this reduces repaint‑like effects.
Pivot SFPs only appear after the pivot confirms (after the chosen “right” bars).
PD/W levels come from the prior completed candles and do not change intraday.
If you enable confirmed HTF values, the HTF slope will not change until its higher‑timeframe bar completes (safer but slightly delayed).
Performance tips
If labels/zones clutter or the chart lags:
Turn ON Performance mode.
Hide FVG or the Trigger Zone.
Reduce badge history or turn badge history off.
If price scaling looks compressed:
Keep optional “score”/“PR” plots OFF (they overlay price and can affect scaling).
Alerts (neutral)
Structural Liquidity: LONG TRIGGER
Structural Liquidity: SHORT TRIGGER
These fire when a trigger condition is met on a confirmed bar (with defaults).
Limitations and risk
Not every sweep/extreme reverses; false triggers occur, especially on thin markets and low timeframes.
This indicator does not provide entries, exits, or position sizing—use your own plan and risk control.

HTF Fractal Swings [BornKillerBee]Of course. A good description is key to helping other traders understand and use your script. Here are a few options, from a concise version to a more detailed one. You can mix and match parts as you see fit.
Option 1: Concise & To the Point
Title: HTF Fractal Swings
Description:
This indicator automatically identifies and plots significant swing highs (buyside liquidity) and swing lows (sellside liquidity) from a higher timeframe (HTF) directly onto your current chart.
It's designed for traders who use multi-timeframe analysis to map out market structure and identify key areas of interest for entries or targets. Lines extend into the future until price crosses them, providing a clean visual of which liquidity levels are still intact.
Features:
Plots HTF swing points on your lower timeframe chart.
Lines automatically stop extending once liquidity is taken.
Optional "Order Flow Leg" box to visualize the current dealing range between the last major high and low.
Fully customizable: Choose your HTF, number of swings to show, colors, and line styles.
Option 2: Detailed & Feature-Rich (Recommended)
Title: HTF Fractal Swings & Liquidity Visualizer
Description:
Overview
This powerful indicator is designed for price action and smart money concept (SMC) traders who rely on multi-timeframe analysis. It automatically detects Bill Williams' fractal swing points on a user-defined higher timeframe (HTF) and plots them with precision on your current, lower timeframe chart. This allows you to effortlessly track key market structure, identify pools of liquidity, and define the current trading range without ever leaving your chart.
Core Concepts & How to Use
Buyside & Sellside Liquidity: The plotted swing highs represent potential buyside liquidity, which can act as resistance or a target for bullish moves. Conversely, swing lows represent sellside liquidity, acting as potential support or a target for bearish moves.
Dynamic Levels: Lines for each swing level extend into the future, acting as a clear visual guide. When price trades through a level (based on your chosen "Cross Trigger Source"), the line stops extending and its color fades. This provides an instant signal that the liquidity at that price has likely been swept or "taken."
Order Flow Leg: When enabled, the script draws a box connecting the most recent swing high and swing low. This helps visualize the current dealing range or order flow leg. Traders may look for entries at a discount (below 50% of the range) or a premium (above 50%) to target the opposing side of the range.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Analysis, Simplified: Define any higher timeframe (e.g., '4H', '1D') and see its key structural points on your '5m' chart.
Precise Swing Placement: The script finds the exact LTF candle responsible for the HTF swing, ensuring the level is plotted with maximum accuracy.
Automatic Liquidity Tracking: Visually confirm when a liquidity level has been breached.
Customizable Display:
Set the number of recent swing highs and lows to track.
Choose whether a cross is triggered by the High/Low (wick) or the bar Close.
Fully control the colors, line styles, and widths for each timeframe.
Toggle the swing time on the labels for historical reference.
This tool is perfect for cleaning up your charts and focusing on the price levels that matter most.
NX - ICT LiquidityThis indicator identifies liquidity zones based on ICT concepts, highlighting swing highs (BSL) and swing lows (SSL) with dynamic detection and mitigation logic. It also plots key institutional levels from the previous day, week, and month—including High, Low, Open, and Close—customizable by timeframe.
Designed for precision and clarity, it helps traders visualize potential sweep setups and reaction points with minimal chart clutter.
Liquidity ImpulsesThis script essentially prints out any impulses in price movement indicating large buying/selling activity.
- Once a candle is determined to have an impulse of volume, the script will print a line of liquidity indicating where a lot of orders are.
- Once the liquidity is taken, the line will be deleted.
- This script works on lower timeframes for day trading as well as higher timeframes to get a clear bias on where price is headed. You can use this as a liquidity sweep or as a target for your trade
Enjoy!
Climax Absorption Engine [AlgoPoint]Overview
Have you ever noticed that during a sharp, fast-moving trend, the single candle with the highest volume often appears right at the end, just before the price reverses? This is no coincidence. It's the footprint of a Climax Event.
This indicator is designed to detect these critical moments of maximum panic (capitulation) and maximum euphoria (FOMO). These are the moments when retail traders are driven by emotion, creating a massive pool of liquidity. The "Climax Absorption Engine" identifies when Smart Money is likely absorbing this liquidity to enter large positions against the crowd, right before a potential reversal.
It's a tool built not just on mathematical formulas, but on the principles of market psychology and smart money activity.
How It Works: The 3-Step Logic
The indicator uses a sequential, three-step process to identify high-probability reversal setups:
1. Momentum Move Detection: First, the engine identifies a period of strong, directional momentum. It looks for a series of consecutive, same-colored candles and confirms that the move is backed by a steeply sloped moving average. This ensures we are only looking for climactic events at the end of a significant, non-random move.
2. Climax Candle Identification: Within this momentum move, the indicator scans for a candle with abnormally high volume—a volume spike that is significantly larger than the recent average. This candle is marked on your chart with a diamond shape and is identified as the Climax Candle. This is the point of peak emotion and the primary area of interest. No signal is generated yet.
3. Absorption & Reversal Confirmation: A climax is a warning, not a signal. The final signal is only triggered after the market confirms the reversal.
- For a BUY Signal: After a bearish (red) Climax Candle, the indicator waits for a subsequent green candle to close decisively above the midpoint of the Climax Candle. This confirms that the panic selling has been absorbed by buyers.
- For a SELL Signal: After a bullish (green) Climax Candle, it waits for a subsequent red candle to close decisively below the midpoint. This confirms that the euphoric buying has evaporated.
How to Interpret & Use This Indicator
- The Diamond Shape: A diamond shape on your chart is an early warning. It signifies that a climax event has occurred and the underlying trend is exhausted. This is the time to pay close attention and prepare for a potential reversal.
- The BUY/SELL Labels: These are the final, actionable signals. They appear only after the reversal has been confirmed by price action.
- A BUY signal suggests that capitulation selling is over, and buyers have absorbed the pressure.
- A SELL signal suggests that FOMO buying is over, and sellers are now in control.
Key Settings
- Momentum Detection: Adjust the number of consecutive bars and the EMA slope required to define a valid momentum move.
- Climax Detection: Fine-tune the sensitivity of the volume spike detection using the Volume Multiplier. Higher values will find only the most extreme events.
- Confirmation Window: Define how many bars the indicator should wait for a reversal candle after a climax event before the setup is cancelled.
Liquidity Void Detector (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Liquidity Void Detector (Zeiierman) is an oscillator highlighting inefficient price displacements under low participation. It measures the most recent price move (standardized return) and amplifies it only when volume is below its own trend.
Positive readings ⇒ strong up-move on low volume → potential Buy-Side Imbalance (void below) that often refills.
Negative readings ⇒ strong down-move on low volume → potential Sell-Side Imbalance (void above) that often refills.
This tool provides a quantitative “void” proxy: when price travels far with unusually thin volume, the move is flagged as likely inefficient and prone to mean-reversion/mitigation.
█ How It Works
⚪ Volume Shock (Participation Filter)
Each bar, volume is compared to a rolling baseline. This is then z-scored.
// Volume Shock calculation
volTrend = ta.sma(volume, L)
vs = (volume > 0 and volTrend > 0) ? math.log(volume) - math.log(volTrend) : na
vsZ = zScore(vs, vzLen) // z-scored volume shock
lowVS = (vsZ <= vzThr) // low-volume condition
Bars with VolShock Z ≤ threshold are treated as low-volume (thin).
⚪ Prior Return Extremeness
The 1-bar log return is computed and z-scored.
// Prior return extremeness
r1 = math.log(close / close )
retZ = zScore(r1, rLen) // z-scored prior return
This shows whether the latest move is unusually large relative to recent history.
⚪ Void Oscillator
The oscillator is:
// Oscillator construction
weight = lowVS ? 1.0 : fadeNoLow
osc = retZ * weight
where Weight = 1 when volume is low, otherwise fades toward a user-set factor (0–1).
Osc > 0: up-move emphasized under low volume ⇒ Buy-Side Imbalance.
Osc < 0: down-move emphasized under low volume ⇒ Sell-Side Imbalance.
█ Why Use It
⚪ Targets Inefficient Moves
By filtering for low participation, the oscillator focuses on moves most likely driven by thin books/noise trading, which are statistically more likely to retrace.
⚪ Simple, Robust Logic
No need for tick data or order-book depth. It derives a practical void proxy from OHLCV, making it portable across assets and timeframes.
⚪ Complements Price-Action Tools
Use alongside FVG/imbalance zones, key levels, and volume profile to prioritize voids that carry the highest reversal probability.
█ How to Use
Sell-Side Imbalance = aggressive sell move (price goes down on low volume) → expect price to move up to fill it.
Buy-Side Imbalance = aggressive buy move (price goes up on low volume) → expect price to move down to fill it.
█ Settings
Volume Baseline Length — Bars for the volume trend used in VolShock. Larger = smoother baseline, fewer low-volume flags.
Vol Shock Z-Score Lookback — Bars to standardize VolShock; larger = smoother, fewer extremes.
Low-Volume Threshold (VolShock Z ≤) — Defines “thin participation.” Typical: −0.5 to −1.0.
Return Z-Score Lookback — Bars to standardize the 1-bar log return; larger = smoother “extremeness” measure.
Fade When Volume Not Low (0–1) — Weight applied when volume is not low. 0.00 = ignore non-low-volume bars entirely. 1.00 = treat volume condition as irrelevant (pure return extremeness).
Upper Threshold (Osc ≥) — Trigger for Sell-Side Imbalance (void below).
Lower Threshold (Osc ≤) — Trigger for Buy-Side Imbalance (void above).
