Liquidity IndicatorThe Liquidity Indicator helps identify key price levels where liquidity may be concentrated by highlighting local highs and local lows on the chart. These levels are calculated using a lookback period to determine the highest and lowest points in the recent price action.
Local Highs: Displayed as red lines, these indicate recent peaks where price has experienced rejection or a possible reversal point.
Local Lows: Displayed as green lines, these represent recent troughs where price may find support or experience a bounce.
This indicator is useful for spotting potential areas of interest for price reversal or continuation, as high liquidity zones may lead to more significant price movements.
Key Features:
Adjustable lookback period to define the scope for identifying local highs and lows.
Continuous plotting without any time restrictions, providing real-time insights into liquidity conditions.
Alerts available for when a local high or local low is detected, enabling timely market analysis.
Use Case:
This indicator can be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools or strategies to help identify significant price levels where liquidity could impact price action. It is suitable for both intraday and swing traders looking for key price zones where potential reversals or continuations might occur.

Liquidity LevelsThe "Liquidity Levels" indicator on TradingView is designed to identify and highlight liquidity levels in the market. This indicator is based on pivot highs and lows with an adjustable offset to adjust the importance and length of the identified levels.
The strength of this indicator lies in its ability to highlight changes in liquidity levels, which can be crucial for traders. By marking pivot highs and lows, potential areas of high liquidity are highlighted, which can indicate where significant market movements or reversal points may occur.
The flexibility of whether the calculation is based on the closing price or the high/low prices allows for customisable analysis. The visual representation of liquidity levels by lines makes it easier to identify and monitor these key areas in the chart, which can provide additional value for traders.
Liquidity Channel with B/SIndicator - Liquidity Level
Which calculates the liquidity levels based on the highest high and lowest low of the specified period. It determines the middle line, upper line, and lower line of the liquidity channel. The liquidity level is the average of the upper and lower lines, and the liquidity level distance is half of the difference between the upper and lower lines.
Here, the code determines if the conditions for overbought and oversold signals are met. It compares the current closing price with the previous opening price to determine the color of the bar (red or green). If the conditions are met and the bar color matches the expected direction (red for overbought and green for oversold), the respective signals are triggered.
The code plots buy and sell signals on the chart using shape labels. It displays "Buy" labels below the bars for buy signals and "Sell" labels above the bars for sell signals. Additionally, it colors the bars in gray. The code also sets up alert conditions to send notifications when buy or sell signals occur.
*************** Please note that this is a high-level overview of the code's functionality. The specific details and calculations may vary based on the parameters and settings provided in the code.
*************** Remember, trading involves risks, and it's important to thoroughly test any strategy and consider risk management principles before using it in live trading. It's recommended to consult with a knowledgeable financial advisor or professional trader for guidance and assistance in developing and implementing trading strategies.

Liquidity & Momentum Master (LMM)💎 Liquidity & Momentum Master (LMM)
A professional dual-system indicator that combines:
📦 High-Volume Support/Resistance Zones and
📊 RSI + Bollinger Band Combo Signals — to visualize both smart money footprints and momentum reversals in one clean tool.
🧱 1. High-Volume Liquidity Zones (Support/Resistance Boxes)
Conditions
Visible only on 1H and higher timeframes (1H, 4H, 1D, etc.)
Detects candles with abnormally high volume and strong ATR-based range
Separates bullish (support) and bearish (resistance) zones
Visualization
All boxes are white, with adjustable transparency (alphaW, alphaBorder)
Each box extends to the right automatically
Only the most important (Top-N) zones are kept — weaker ones are removed automatically
Interpretation
White boxes = price areas with heavy liquidity and volume concentration
Price approaching these zones often leads to bounces or rejections
Narrow spacing = consolidation, wide spacing = potential large move
💎 2. RSI Exit + BB-RSI Combo Signals
RSI Exit (Overbought/Oversold Recovery)
RSI drops from overbought (>70) → plots red “RSI” above the candle
RSI rises from oversold (<30) → plots green “RSI” below the candle
Works on 15m, 30m, 1H, 4H, 1D
→ Indicates short-term exhaustion recovery
BB-RSI Combo (Momentum Reversal Confirmation)
Active on 1H and higher only
Requires both:
✅ RSI divergence (bullish or bearish)
✅ Bollinger Band re-entry (after temporary breakout)
Combo Buy (Green Diamond)
Bullish RSI divergence
Candle closes back above lower Bollinger Band
Combo Sell (Red Diamond)
Bearish RSI divergence
Candle closes back below upper Bollinger Band
→ Confirms stronger reversal momentum compared to standard RSI signals

Liquidity Grab Detector (Stop Hunt Sniper) v2.2📌 Purpose
This indicator detects Stop Hunts (Liquidity Grabs) — false breakouts above/below recent highs or lows — filtered by trend direction, volatility, and volume conditions.
It is designed for scalpers and intraday traders who want to identify high-probability reversal zones.
🧠 How It Works
1. Key Logic
Detects previous swing high / swing low over the Lookback Bars.
Marks a false breakout when price moves beyond the level and closes back inside.
Requires a volume spike on the breakout to confirm liquidity sweep.
2. Trend Filter (EMA 50)
Bullish signals only if price is above EMA 50.
Bearish signals only if price is below EMA 50.
This removes most counter-trend stop hunts.
3. ADX Filter
Signals appear only when ADX < Max ADX (low-trend conditions).
This avoids false signals in strong trending markets.
📈 How to Use
Green Arrows: Bullish stop hunt (potential long entry).
Red Arrows: Bearish stop hunt (potential short entry).
Works best in range conditions, liquidity zones, or near session highs/lows.
Combine with order flow, volume profile, or price action for extra confirmation.
Recommended Timeframes: 1m–15m for scalping; 30m–1h for intraday.
Markets: Crypto, Forex, Indices.
⚙️ Inputs
Lookback Bars — swing detection
Volume Spike Multiplier
EMA Length (trend filter)
Min Retrace — how much price must return inside range
Max ADX — trend filter sensitivity

Liquidity Sweep Reversal [Grimoire]The Liquidity Sweep Reversal indicator is designed to spot potential turning points by watching for “liquidity sweeps” above key prior highs. Specifically, it marks when price briefly pushes above levels such as:
The high of the previous candle
The high of the prior trading day
The high of the previous week
These sweeps often trigger stop-hunts or liquidity hunts, after which price frequently reverses. By highlighting those moments, the indicator helps you anticipate and trade these reversal moves more easily.

Liquidity Squeeze Indicator 1The provided Pine Script code implements a "Liquidity Squeeze Indicator" in TradingView, designed to detect potential bullish or bearish market squeezes based on EMA slopes, candle wicks, and body sizes.
Code Breakdown
EMAs Calculation: Calculates the 21-period (ema_21) and 50-period (ema_50) exponential moving averages (EMAs) on closing prices.
EMA Slope Calculation: Computes the slope of the 21-period EMA over a 21-period lookback to estimate trend direction, with a threshold of 0.45 to approximate a 45-degree angle.
Candle Properties: Measures the size of the candle's body and its upper and lower wicks for comparison to detect wick-to-body ratios.
Trend Identification: Defines a bullish trend when ema_21 is above ema_50 and a bearish trend when ema_21 is below ema_50.
Wick Conditions
Bullish Condition : In a bullish trend with the EMA slope up, checks if the upper wick is at least 3x the body size and the closing price is above the 21 EMA.
Bearish Condition: In a bearish trend with the EMA slope down, checks if the lower wick is at least 3x the body size and the closing price is below the 21 EMA.
Signal Plotting: Plots a green dot above the bar for bullish signals and a red dot below the bar for bearish signals.
Alerts: Defines alert conditions for both bullish and bearish signals, providing specific alert messages when conditions are met.
Summary
This indicator helps identify potential bullish or bearish liquidity squeezes by looking at trends, EMA slopes, and wick-to-body ratios in candlesticks. The primary signals are visualized through dots on the chart and can trigger alerts for notable market conditions.
Liquidity Pool TimesThis script automatically plots key liquidity pool times on your chart. I will release an updated script that plots the names on the far right when i can figure it out. Until then you will see Monthly Open/Close Weekly Open/Close and Midnight/10AM open
Liquidity + FVG + OB Markings (Fixed v6)This indicator is built for price-action traders.
It automatically finds and plots three key structures on your chart:
Liquidity Levels – swing highs & lows that often get targeted by price.
Fair-Value Gaps (FVG) – inefficient price gaps between candles.
Order-Blocks (OB) – zones created by strong, high-volume impulsive candles.
It also provides alerts and a small information table so you can quickly gauge the current market context.
Liquidity levels + Order BlocksThis script mark liquidity levels, and monthly, weekly and daily candle open. The order blocks indicator is on construction.
liquidity reversalThis script detects liquidity sweeps and confirms reversals based on price action. It looks for:
- A sweep of a recent high or low
- A reversal candle closing back inside range
- (Optional) Confirmation via market structure break (MSB)
When confirmed, it plots:
- BUY signals after low sweep + bullish break
- SELL signals after high sweep + bearish break
Works on any timeframe. Designed for MNQ scalping during NY open.
Liquidity Zones, EMAs, Market Cipher BAll In One, market cipher b, divergences, ema 12/21/50/200, and liquidity zones
Liquidity Grab Strategy (Volume Trap)🧠 Strategy Logic:
Liquidity Grab Detection:
The script looks for a sharp drop in price (bearish engulfing or breakdown candle).
However, volume remains flat (within 5% of the 20-period moving average), suggesting the move is manipulated, not genuine.
Fair Value Gap Confirmation (FVG):
It confirms that a Fair Value Gap exists — a gap between recent candle bodies that price is likely to retrace into.
This gap represents a high-probability entry zone.
Trade Setup:
A limit BUY order is placed at the base of the FVG.
Stop Loss (SL) is placed below the gap.
Take Profit (TP) is placed at the most recent swing high.
📈 How to Use It:
Add the strategy to your TradingView chart (1–5 min or 15 min works well for intraday setups).
Look for green BUY labels and plotted lines:
💚 Green = Entry price
🔴 Red = Stop loss
🔵 Blue = Take profit
The script will automatically simulate entries when conditions are met and exit either at TP or SL.
Use TradingView’s Strategy Tester to review:

Net profit
Risk-adjusted performance
Liquidity SpotterIndicator Setup:
The script sets up a TradingView indicator titled "Liquidity Spotter" with a short title "PWWTC LS". It's designed to overlay on the price chart (overlay=true).
Input Variables:
The script defines input variables that allow users to customize the behavior of the indicator:
atr_length: Length of the Average True Range (ATR) used in calculations.
volume_multiplier: Multiplier used to compare the volume of the current bar with the average volume.
range_multiplier: Multiplier used to calculate the range condition.
highlight_color: Color used to highlight bars when conditions are met.
Calculations:
The script calculates the ATR and average volume using the ta.atr and ta.sma functions provided by TradingView's Pine Script.
It sets the avg_range to the value of the ATR, essentially making it the same as atr_value.
Conditions:
The script checks several conditions based on the calculated values:
range_condition: Compares the range (high - low) of the current bar with the average range multiplied by the range multiplier.
volume_condition: Compares the volume of the current bar with the average volume multiplied by the volume multiplier.
range_volume_condition: Compares the ratio of range to volume with the ratio of average range to average volume.
Plotting:
Based on the conditions being met or not, the script sets the color of the price bars. If all conditions are met, the color of the bars will be set to highlight_color, otherwise, it will remain unchanged (na).
Overall, this script visually highlights price bars on the chart where specific conditions related to range, volume, and their ratio are met, potentially indicating trading opportunities.
Liquidity Heatmap LTF [LuxAlgo]This indicator displays column heatmaps highlighting candle bodies with the highest associated volume from a lower user selected timeframe.
Settings
LTF Timeframe: Lower timeframe used to retrieve the closing/opening price and volume data. Must be lower than the current chart timeframe.
Other settings control the style of the displayed graphical elements.
Usage
It can be of interest to show which candles from a lower timeframe had the highest associated volume, this allows for the highlighting of areas where a candle body was the most traded by market participants.
The area with the highest activity is highlighted in the script with a yellow color (or another user selected color) and additionally by two lines forming an interval.
When the candle body with the highest volume is overlapped by a candle body with lower volume this one will be highlighted instead, hence why certain areas of high activity might not be highlighted by the heatmap.
It is recommended to hide regular candles or use a more discrete graphical presentation of prices when using this tool. Lines are also displayed to highlight the full candle range as well as if a candle was bullish (in green) or bearish (in red). These lines can be hidden if the user is only interested in the heatmap.

🔵 BASIC DEMONSTRATION OF ALL FEATURES
1. MARKET STRUCTURE
The preceding image illustrates the market structure functionality within the Smart Money Concepts indicator.
➤ Solid lines: These represent the core indicator's internal structure, forming the foundation for most other components. They visually depict the overall market direction and identify major reversal points marked by significant price movements (denoted as 'x').
➤ Internal Structure: These represent an alternative internal structure with the potential to drive more rapid market shifts. This is particularly relevant when a significant gap exists in the established swing structure, specifically between the Break of Structure (BOS) and the most recent Change of High/Low (CHoCH). Identifying these formations can offer opportunities for quicker entries and potential short-term reversals.
➤ Sweeps (x): These signify potential turning points in the market where liquidity is removed from the structure. This suggests a possible trend reversal and presents crucial entry opportunities. Sweeps are identified within both swing and internal structures, providing valuable insights for informed trading decisions.
➤ Mapping structure: A tool that automatically identifies and connects significant price highs and lows, creating a zig-zag pattern. It visualizes market structure, highlights trends, support/resistance levels, and potential breakouts. Helps traders quickly grasp price action patterns and make informed decisions.
➤ Color-coded candles based on market structure: These colors visually represent the underlying market structure, making it easier for traders to quickly identify trends.
➤ Extreme H&L: It visualizes market structure with extreme high and lows, which gives perspective for macro Market Structure.
2. VOLUMETRIC ORDER BLOCKS
Order blocks are specific areas on a financial chart where significant buying or selling activity has occurred. These are not just simple zones; they contain valuable information about market dynamics. Within each of these order blocks, volume bars represent the actual buying and selling activity that took place. These volume bars offer deeper insights into the strength of the order block by showing how much buying or selling power is concentrated in that specific zone.
Additionally, these order blocks can be transformed into Breaker Blocks. When an order block fails—meaning the price breaks through this zone without reversing—it becomes a breaker block. Breaker blocks are particularly useful for trading breakouts, as they signal that the market has shifted beyond a previously established zone, offering opportunities for traders to enter in the direction of the breakout.
Here's a breakdown:
➤ Bear Order Blocks (Red): These are zones where a lot of selling happened. Traders see these areas as places where sellers were strong, pushing the price down. When the price returns to these zones, it might face resistance and drop again.
➤ Bull Order Blocks (Green): These are zones where a lot of buying happened. Traders see these areas as places where buyers were strong, pushing the price up. When the price returns to these zones, it might find support and rise again.
These Order Blocks help traders identify potential areas for entering or exiting trades based on past market activity. The volume bars inside blocks show the amount of trading activity that occurred in these blocks, giving an idea of the strength of buying or selling pressure.
➤ Breaker Block: When an order block fails, meaning the price breaks through this zone without reversing, it becomes a breaker block. This indicates a significant shift in market liquidity and structure.
➤ A bearish breaker block occurs after a bullish order block fails. This typically happens when there's an upward trend, and a certain level that was expected to support the market's rise instead gives way, leading to a sharp decline. This decline indicates that sellers have overcome the buyers, absorbing liquidity and shifting the sentiment from bullish to bearish.
Conversely, a bullish breaker block is formed from the failure of a bearish order block. In a downtrend, when a level that was expected to act as resistance is breached, and the price shoots up, it signifies that buyers have taken control, overpowering the sellers.
3. FAIR VALUE GAPS:
A fair value gap (FVG), also referred to as an imbalance, is an essential concept in Smart Money trading. It highlights the supply and demand dynamics. This gap arises when there's a notable difference between the volume of buy and sell orders. FVGs can be found across various asset classes, including forex, commodities, stocks, and cryptocurrencies.
FVGs in this toolkit have the ability to detect raids of FVG which helps to identify potential price reversals.
Mitigation option helps to change from what source FVGs will be identified: Close, Wicks or AVG.
4. SWING FAILURE PATTERN (SFP):
The Swing Failure Pattern is a liquidity engineering pattern, generally used to fill large orders. This means, the SFP generally occurs when larger players push the price into liquidity pockets with the sole objective of filling their own positions.
SFP is a technical analysis tool designed to identify potential market reversals. It works by detecting instances where the price briefly breaks a previous high or low but fails to maintain that breakout, quickly reversing direction.
How it works:
Pattern Detection: The indicator scans for price movements that breach recent highs or lows.
Reversal Confirmation: If the price quickly reverses after breaching these levels, it's identified as an SFP.
➤ SFP Display:
Bullish SFP: Marked with a green symbol when price drops below a recent low before reversing upwards.
Bearish SFP: Marked with a red symbol when price rises above a recent high before reversing downwards.
➤ Deviation Levels: After detecting an SFP, the indicator projects white lines showing potential price deviation:
For bullish SFPs, the deviation line appears above the current price.
For bearish SFPs, the deviation line appears below the current price.
These deviation levels can serve as a potential trading opportunity or areas where the reversal might lose momentum.
With Volume Threshold and Filtering of SFP traders can adjust their trading style:
Volume Threshold: This setting allows traders to filter SFPs based on the volume of the reversal candle. By setting a higher volume threshold, traders can focus on potentially more significant reversals that are backed by higher trading activity.
SFP Filtering: This feature enables traders to filter SFP detection. It includes parameters such as:
5. LIQUIDITY CONCEPTS:
➤ Equal Lows (EQL) and Equal Highs (EQH) are important concepts in liquidity-based trading.
EQL: A series of two or more swing lows that occur at approximately the same price level.
EQH: A series of two or more swing highs that occur at approximately the same price level.
EQLs and EQHs are seen as potential liquidity pools where a large number of stop loss orders or limit orders may be clustered. They can be used as potential reverse points for trades.
This multi-period feature allows traders to select less and more significant EQL and EQH:
➤ Liquidity wicks:
Liquidity wicks are a minor representation of a stop-loss hunt during the retracement of a pivot point:
➤ Buy and Sell side liquidity:
The buy side liquidity represents a concentration of potential buy orders below the current price level. When price moves into this area, it can lead to increased buying pressure due to the execution of these orders.
The sell side liquidity indicates a pool of potential sell orders below the current price level. Price movement into this area can result in increased selling pressure as these orders are executed.
➤ Sweep Liquidation Zones:
Sweep Liquidation Zones are crucial for understanding market structure and potential future price movements. They provide insights into areas where significant market participants have been forced out of their positions, potentially setting up new trading opportunities.
🔵 USAGE & EXAMPLES
The core principle behind the success of this toolkit lies in identifying "confluence." This refers to the convergence of multiple trading indicators all signaling the same information at a specific point or area. By seeking such alignment, traders can significantly enhance the likelihood of successful trades.
MS + OBs
The chart illustrates a highly bullish setup where the price is rejecting from a bullish order block (POC), while simultaneously forming a bullish Swing Failure Pattern (SFP). This occurs after an internal structure change, marked by a bullish Change of Character (CHoCH). The price broke through a bearish order block, transforming it into a breaker block, further confirming the bullish momentum.
The combination of these elements—bullish order blocks, SFP, and CHoCH—creates a powerful bullish signal, reinforcing the potential for upward movement in the market.
SFP + Bear OB
This chart above displays a bearish setup with a high probability of a price move lower. The price is currently rejecting from a bear order block, which represents a key resistance area where significant selling pressure has previously occurred. A Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) has also formed near this bear order block, indicating that the price briefly attempted to break above a recent high but failed to sustain that upward movement. This failure suggests that buyers are losing momentum, and the market could be preparing for a move to the downside.
Additionally, we can toggle on the Deviation Area in the SFP section to highlight potential levels where price deviation might occur. These deviation areas represent zones where the price is likely to react after the Swing Failure Pattern:
BUY – SELL sides + EQL
The chart showcases a bullish setup with a high probability of price breaking out of the current sell-side resistance level. The market structure indicates a formation of Equal Lows (EQL), which often suggests a build-up of liquidity that could drive the price higher.
The presence of strong buy-side pressure (69%), indicated by the green zone at the bottom, reinforces this bullish outlook. This area represents a key support zone where buyers are outpacing sellers, providing the foundation for a potential upward breakout.
EQL + Bull ChoCh
This chart illustrates a potential bullish setup, driven by the formation of Equal Lows (EQL) followed by a bullish Change of Character (CHoCH). The presence of Equal Lows often signals a liquidity build-up, which can lead to a reversal when combined with additional bullish signals.
Liquidity grab + Bull ChoCh + FVGs
This chart demonstrates a strong bullish scenario, where several important market dynamics are at play. The price begins its upward momentum from Liquidity grab following a bullish Change of Character (CHoCH), signaling the transition from a bearish phase to a bullish one.
As the price progresses, it performs liquidity grabs, which serve to gather the necessary fuel for further movement. These liquidity grabs often occur before significant price surges, as large market participants exploit these areas to accumulate positions before pushing the price higher.
The chart also highlights a market imbalance area, showing strong momentum as the price moves swiftly through this zone.
In this examples, we see how the combination of multiple “smart money” tools helps identify a potential trade opportunities. This is just one of the many scenarios that traders can spot using this toolkit. Other combinations—such as order blocks, liquidity grabs, fair value gaps, and Swing Failure Patterns (SFPs)—can also be layered on top of these concepts to further refine your trading strategy.

Stophunt WickAcknowledgement
This indicator is dedicated to my friend Alexandru who saved me from one of these liquidation raids which almost liquidated me.
Alexandru is one of the best scalpers out there and he always nails his entries at the tip of these wicks.
This inspired me to create this indicator.
What's a Liquidation Wick?
It's that fast stop-hunting wick that stophunts everyone by triggering their stop-loss and liquidation.
Liquidity is the lifeblood of stock market and liquidation is the process that moves price.
This indicator will identify when a liquidity pool is getting raided to trigger buy or sell stops, they are also know as stop-hunts.
How does it work?
When market consolidates in one direction, it builds up liquidity zones.
Market maker will break out of these consolidation phases by having dramatic price action to either pump or dump to raid these liquidity zones.
This is also called stop-hunts or liquidity raids. After that it will start reversing back to the opposite direction.
This is most noticeable by the length of the wick of a given candle in a very short amount of time and the total size of the candle.
This indicator highlights them accordingly.
Settings
Wick and Candle ratio works with default values but finetune will enhance user experience and usability.
Wick Ratio: Size of the wick compared to body of a candle.
Adjust this to higher ratio on smaller timeframe or smaller ratio on bigger timeframe to your trading style to spot a trend reversal.
Candle Ratio: The size of the candle, by default it is 0.75% of the current price.
For example, if BTC is at 20,000 then the size of the candle has to be minimum 150.
This can be fine tuned to bigger candle size on higher time frames or smaller for shorter timeframe depending on the trade type.
How to use it?
This indicator will identify when a liquidity pool is getting raided to trigger buy or sell stops, they are also know as stop-hunts. It can be used of its own for scalping but there are also a good few indicators which would most definitely help to confluence bigger timeframe trades.
Scalp
This indicator shows the most chaotic moments in price action; therefore it works best on smaller timeframes, ideally 3 or 5 minute candle.
- Wait for the market to start pumping or dumping.
- Current candle will change colour (Bullish/Bearish).
- Enter trade as soon as price starts to reverse back.
- Place the stop-loss outside of the current candle.
- Wait for the Liquidation Wick to appear as confirmation.
Price is very chaotic during a liquidity stop-hunt raid but there is a saying:
"In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity" - Sun-Tzu
Since this is a very high risk, high reward strategy; it is advised to practice on paper trade first.
Practice until perfection and this indicator would be the perfect bread and butter scalp confirmation.
Fair Value Gap
FVG strategy is the most accurate in conjunction with this indicator.
Normally price would reverse after consuming fair value gaps but often it's difficult to know when and where.
This indicator would identify those crucial entry points for reverse course direction of the price action.
Support and Resistance
This indicator can also be used in conjunction with support and resistance lines.
Generally the stophunt will go deep below the support or spike much further up the resistance lines to liquidate positions.
Bollinger Bands
Bolling Bands strategy would be to wait until the price breaks out of the band.
Once the wick is formed, it would be an ideal entry point.
