eBacktesting - Learning: Buy/Sell-side Liquidity

eBacktesting - Learning: Buy/Sell-side Liquidity
Buy-side and sell-side liquidity are some of the most important “magnets” in day trading. When price forms obvious swing highs and swing lows, stop-loss orders often build up just above those highs (buy-side liquidity) and just below those lows (sell-side liquidity). Markets frequently move into these areas to “take” that liquidity before making the next meaningful move.
This indicator helps you spot those potential liquidity pools and highlights when price reaches them. Use it to study:
- where stops are likely resting above highs / below lows
- how often price sweeps those areas before reversing
- how liquidity runs can trigger the next expansion or trend continuation
These indicators are built to pair perfectly with the eBacktesting extension, where traders can practice these concepts step-by-step. Backtesting concepts visually like this is one of the fastest ways to learn, build confidence, and improve trading performance.
