Liquidity Trap Detector Pro [PyraTime]The Problem: Why You Get Stopped Out
90% of retail traders place their stop-losses at obvious swing highs and lows. Institutional algorithms ("Smart Money") are programmed to push price through these levels to trigger liquidity, fill their heavy orders, and then immediately reverse the market.
If you have ever had your stop hit right before the market moves exactly where you predicted—you were the victim of a Liquidity Trap.
The Solution: Visualizing the "Stop Hunt"
Liquidity Trap Detector Pro is not just a support/resistance indicator. It is a comprehensive Reversal Scoring Engine.
Unlike standard indicators that spam signals on every wick, this tool uses a proprietary 5-Star Scoring System to analyze the quality of the trap. It validates every signal using Wick Symmetry, RSI Divergence, and Volume Analysis to separate a true reversal from a trend continuation.
Key Features (USP)
★ 5-Star Scoring Engine: Every signal is rated from 1 to 5 stars. Stop guessing if a signal is valid; let the algorithm check the confluence for you.
Glassmorphism Visuals: Gone are the messy lines. We use modern, semi-transparent "Liquidity Zones" that keep your chart clean and professional.
Smart Terminology: Automatically identifies Bull Traps (Buyers trapped at highs) and Bear Traps (Sellers trapped at lows).
Heads-Up Display (HUD): A professional dashboard monitors the market state, active filters, and recent trap statistics in real-time.
Tutorial: How to Trade This Indicator
1. Understanding the Signals
We use correct institutional terminology to describe the market mechanics:
🟢 GREEN Signal (BEAR TRAP):
What happened: Price swept a Swing Low, enticing sellers (Bears) to enter. The candle then reversed and closed back inside the range, trapping those sellers.
The Trade: This is a Bullish Reversal setup (Long).
🔴 RED Signal (BULL TRAP):
What happened: Price swept a Swing High, enticing buyers (Bulls) to breakout. The candle reversed and closed lower, trapping the buyers.
The Trade: This is a Bearish Reversal setup (Short).
2. The 5-Star Scoring System
Not all traps are created equal. The stars tell you how much "Confluence" exists:
★ (1 Star): A basic structure sweep. Risky.
★★★ (3 Stars): A solid setup backed by either Volume or Divergence.
★★★★★ (5 Stars): The "Perfect" Trap. Structure Sweep + RSI Divergence + Volume Spike + Wick Symmetry. High Probability.
3. The Strategy
Wait for the Zone: Watch price approach a coloured Liquidity Zone.
Observe the Reaction: Do not trade blindly. Wait for the candle to close.
Check the Stars: Look for at least 3 Stars before considering an entry.
Confirm with HUD: Glance at the Dashboard to ensure the "RSI Filter" and "Vol Filter" agree with your analysis.
Settings Guide
Structure Settings:
Pivot Lookback: Adjusts how sensitive the zones are (Default: 10/5).
HTF Confirmation: Optional filter to only show traps that align with Higher Timeframe structure (e.g., 1H or 4H).
Quality Filters:
RSI Divergence: Requires momentum to disagree with price (classic reversal sign).
Volume Spike: Requires volume to be higher than average (Smart Money footprint).
Visuals: Clean Mode: A presenter-favorite feature. Hides all historical zones and leaves only the active setup—perfect for taking screenshots or sharing analysis.

Volume Status by BobRivera990This indicator is a tool that shows a relative view of the trading volume and classifies the volume into 5 different levels and makes it easy to compare it in different periods.
It is also specifically designed for detecting failed (fake) breakouts.
How it works?
This tool uses something similar to Bollinger Bands , but with more bands.
I used two standard deviations (positive and negative) on either side of a simple moving average ( SMA ) of the trading volume .
I also used twice the standard deviation (negative and positive) on either side of the SMA to create more bands.
The classification is made as follows:
Usage:
This indicator is a tool to compare the volume , relatively and in different periods. It is also a good tool for detecting failed (fake) breakouts.
Fake Breakouts Occurs when a support or resistance is broken but the market does not accept and support these price changes. This lack of support will cause trading volume to decrease during or after the breakout.
So, if the indicator shows Low-Volume or Minor-Volume status at the time of the breakout or right after that, it may be a fake breakout.
The truth is you cannot avoid false breakouts completely as long as you trade breakouts but you can minimize the risk and the loss.
Thank you all for forming this unique community.
Parameters:
" Volume SMA Length " => The length of the simple moving average of the Volume
