Turnover (Volume * HLC/3)Let's get the elephant out of the room. Everyone knows volume is the key to validate price movement, but you can't compare two volume candles of the same stock when the price is 3 times different you need to account for that. So here it is, Turnover chart, to replace volume entirely, because why would you look at volume when you can look at turnover instead?

Coinbase Premium Index (Custom Tickers)📊 Coinbase Premium Index (Auto Symbol Support)
1. Overview
The Coinbase Premium Index is a widely used indicator to gauge the sentiment difference between US institutional investors (Coinbase Pro) and global retail/futures traders (Binance).
This script calculates the percentage difference between the Coinbase (USD pair) price and the Binance (USDT pair) price.
2. Key Features
🔄 Auto Symbol Matching (New): You no longer need to manually change tickers when switching charts.
If you are looking at a SOL/USDT chart, the indicator automatically detects "SOL" and compares COINBASE:SOLUSD vs BINANCE:SOLUSDT.
🛠 Manual Mode: Includes a manual override option if you wish to compare specific fixed tickers (e.g., strictly BTC).
🎨 Dynamic Visuals:
Histogram: Color-coded bars (Green/Red) indicate positive or negative premiums.
Smart Label: Displays the real-time premium value on the chart. The label color adapts to the trend, and hovering over it shows a Tooltip confirming exactly which tickers are being compared.
3. How to Interpret
The premium indicates the flow of funds and buying pressure:
🟢 Positive Premium (Green Bar):
Coinbase Price > Binance Price
Interpretation: Strong buying pressure from US institutions or spot whales. Often considered a Bullish signal.
🔴 Negative Premium (Red Bar):
Coinbase Price < Binance Price
Interpretation: Strong selling from US investors, or overheated buying in the offshore futures market (Binance). Often considered a Bearish or mean-reversion signal.

Time-Decay Liquidity Zones [BackQuant]Time-Decay Liquidity Zones
A dynamic liquidity map that turns single-bar exhaustion events into fading, color-graded zones, so you can see where trapped traders and unfinished business still matter, and when those areas have finally stopped pulling price.
What this is
This indicator detects unusually strong impulsive moves into wicks, converts them into supply or demand “zones,” then lets those zones decay over time. Each zone carries a strength score that fades bar by bar. Zones that stop attracting or rejecting price are gradually de-emphasized and eventually removed, while the most relevant areas stay bright and obvious.
Instead of static rectangles that live forever, you get a living liquidity map where:
Zones are born from objective criteria: volatility, wick size, and optional volume spikes.
Zones “age” using a configurable decay factor and maximum lifetime.
Zone color and opacity reflect current relative strength on a unified clear → green → red gradient.
Zones freeze when broken, so you can distinguish “active reaction areas” from “historical levels that have already given way”.
Conceptual idea
Large wicks with strong volatility often mark areas where aggressive orders met hidden liquidity and got absorbed. Price may revisit these areas to test leftover interest or to relieve trapped positions. However, not every wick matters for long. As time passes and more bars print, the market “forgets” some areas.
Time-Decay Liquidity Zones turns that idea into a rule-based system:
Find bars that likely reflect strong aggressive flows into liquidity.
Mark a zone around the wick using ATR-based thickness.
Assign a strength score of 1.0 at birth.
Each bar, reduce that score by a decay factor and remove zones that fall below a threshold or live too long.
Color all surviving zones from weak to strong using a single gradient scale and a visual legend.
How events are detected
Detection lives in the Event Detection group. The script combines range, wick size, and optional volume filters into simple rules.
Volatility filter
ATR Length — computes a rolling ATR over your chosen window. This is the volatility baseline.
Min range in ATRs — bar range (High–Low) must exceed this multiple of ATR for an event to be considered. This avoids tiny bars triggering zones.
Wick filters
For each bar, the script splits the candle into body and wicks:
Upper wick = High minus the max(Open, Close).
Lower wick = min(Open, Close) minus Low.
Then it tests:
Upper wick condition — upper wick must be larger than Min wick size in ATRs × ATR.
Lower wick condition — lower wick must be larger than Min wick size in ATRs × ATR.
Only bars with a sufficiently long wick relative to volatility qualify as candidate “liquidity events”.
Volume filter
Optionally, the script requires a volume spike:
Use volume filter — if enabled, volume must exceed a rolling volume SMA by a configurable multiplier.
Volume SMA length — period for the volume average.
Volume spike multiplier — how many times above the SMA current volume needs to be.
This lets you focus only on “heavy” tests of liquidity and ignore quiet bars.
Event types
Putting it together:
Upper event (potential supply / long liquidation, etc.)
Occurs when:
Upper wick is large in ATR terms.
Full bar range is large in ATR terms.
Volume is above the spike threshold (if enabled).
Lower event (potential demand / short liquidation, etc.)
Symmetric conditions using the lower wick.
How zones are constructed
Zone geometry lives in Zone Geometry .
When an event is detected, the script builds a rectangular box that anchors to the wick and extends in the appropriate direction by an ATR-based thickness.
For upper (supply-type) zones
Bottom of the zone = event bar high.
Top of the zone = event bar high + Zone thickness in ATRs × ATR.
The zone initially spans only the event bar on the x-axis, but is extended to the right as new bars appear while the zone is active.
For lower (demand-type) zones
Top of the zone = event bar low.
Bottom of the zone = event bar low − Zone thickness in ATRs × ATR.
Same extension logic: box starts on the event bar and grows rightward while alive.
The result is a band around the wick that scales with volatility. On high-ATR charts, zones are thicker. On calm charts, they are narrower and more precise.
Zone lifecycle, decay, and removal
All lifecycle logic is controlled by the Decay & Lifetime group.
Each zone carries:
Score — a floating-point “importance” measure, starting at 1.0 when created.
Direction — +1 for upper zones, −1 for lower zones.
Birth index — bar index at creation time.
Active flag — whether the zone is still considered unbroken and extendable.
1) Active vs broken
Each confirmed bar, the script checks:
For an upper zone , the zone is counted as “broken” when the close moves above the top of the zone.
For a lower zone , the zone is counted as “broken” when the close moves below the bottom of the zone.
When a zone breaks:
Its right edge is frozen at the previous bar (no further extension).
The zone remains on the chart, but is no longer updated by price interaction. It still decays in score until removal.
This lets you see where a major level was overrun, while naturally fading its influence over time.
2) Time decay
At each confirmed bar:
Score := Score × Score decay per bar .
A decay value close to 1.0 means very slow decay and long-lived zones.
Lower values (closer to 0.9) mean faster forgetting and more current-focused zones.
You are controlling how quickly the market “forgets” past events.
3) Age and score-based removal
Zones are removed when either:
Age in bars exceeds Max bars a zone can live .
This is a hard lifetime cap.
Score falls below Minimum score before removal .
This trims zones that have decayed into irrelevance even if their age is still within bounds.
When a zone is removed, its box is deleted and all associated state is freed to keep performance and visuals clean.
Unified gradient and color logic
Color control lives in Gradient & Color . The indicator uses a single continuous gradient for all zones, above and below price, so you can read strength at a glance without guessing what palette means what.
Base colors
You set:
Mid strength color (green) — used for mid-level strength zones and as the “anchor” in the gradient.
High strength color (red) — used for the strongest zones.
Max opacity — the maximum visual opacity for the solid part of the gradient. Lower values here mean more solid; higher values mean more transparent.
The script then defines three internal points:
Clear end — same as mid color, but with a high alpha (close to transparent).
Mid end — mid color at the strongest allowed opacity.
High end — high color at the strongest allowed opacity.
Strength normalization
Within each update:
The script finds the maximum score among all existing zones.
Each zone’s strength is computed as its score divided by this maximum.
Strength is clamped into .
This means a zone with strength 1.0 is currently the strongest zone on the chart. Other zones are colored relative to that.
Piecewise gradient
Color is assigned in two stages:
For strength between 0.0 and 0.5: interpolate from “clear” green to solid green.
Weak zones are barely visible, mid-strength zones appear as solid green.
For strength between 0.5 and 1.0: interpolate from solid green to solid red.
The strongest zones shift toward the red anchor, clearly separating them from everything else.
Strength scale legend
To make the gradient readable, the indicator draws a vertical legend on the right side of the chart:
About 15 cells from top (Strong) to bottom (Weak).
Each cell uses the same gradient function as the zones themselves.
Top cell is labeled “Strong”; bottom cell is labeled “Weak”.
This legend acts as a fixed reference so you can instantly map a zone’s color to its approximate strength rank.
What it plots
At a glance, the indicator produces:
Upper liquidity zones above price, built from large upper wick events.
Lower liquidity zones below price, built from large lower wick events.
All zones colored by relative strength using the same gradient.
Zones that freeze when price breaks them, then fade out via decay and removal.
A strength scale legend on the right to interpret the gradient.
There are no extra lines, labels, or clutter. The focus is the evolving structure of liquidity zones and their visual strength.
How to read the zones
Bright red / bright green zones
These are your current “major” liquidity areas. They have high scores relative to other zones and have not yet decayed. Expect meaningful reactions, absorption attempts, or spillover moves when price interacts with them.
Faded zones
Pale, nearly transparent zones are either old, decayed, or minor. They can still matter, but priority is lower. If these are in the middle of a long consolidation, they often become background noise.
Broken but still visible zones
Zones whose extension has stopped have been overrun by closing price. They show where a key level gave way. You can use them as context for regime shifts or failed attempts.
Absence of zones
A chart with few or no zones means that, under your current thresholds, there have not been strong enough liquidity events recently. Either tighten the filters or accept that recent price action has been relatively balanced.
Use cases
1) Intraday liquidity hunting
Run the indicator on lower timeframes (e.g., 1–15 minute) with moderately fast decay.
Use the upper zones as potential sell reaction areas, the lower zones as potential buy reaction areas.
Combine with order flow, CVD, or footprint tools to see whether price is absorbing or rejecting at each zone.
2) Swing trading context
Increase ATR length and range/wick multipliers to focus only on major spikes.
Set slower decay and higher max lifetime so zones persist across multiple sessions.
Use these zones as swing inflection areas for larger setups, for example anticipating re-tests after breakouts.
3) Stop placement and invalidation
For longs, place invalidation beyond a decaying lower zone rather than in the middle of noise.
For shorts, place invalidation beyond strong upper zones.
If price closes through a strong zone and it freezes, treat that as additional evidence your prior bias may be wrong.
4) Identifying trapped flows
Upper zones formed after violent spikes up that quickly fail can mark trapped longs.
Lower zones formed after violent spikes down that quickly reverse can mark trapped shorts.
Watching how price behaves on the next touch of those zones can hint at whether those participants are being rescued or squeezed.
Settings overview

Use volume filter — enable or disable the volume spike requirement.
Volume SMA length — rolling window for average volume.
Volume spike multiplier — how aggressive the volume spike filter is.
ATR length — period for ATR, used in all size comparisons.
Min wick size in ATRs — minimum wick size threshold.
Min range in ATRs — minimum bar range threshold.
Zone Geometry
Zone thickness in ATRs — vertical size of each liquidity zone, scaled by ATR.
Decay & Lifetime
Score decay per bar — multiplicative decay factor for each zone score per bar.
Max bars a zone can live — hard cap on lifetime.
Minimum score before removal — score cut-off at which zones are deleted.
Gradient & Color
Mid strength color (green) — base color for mid-level zones and the lower half of the gradient.
High strength color (red) — target color for the strongest zones.
Max opacity — controls the most solid end of the gradient (0 = fully solid, 100 = fully invisible).
Tuning guidance
Fast, session-only liquidity
Shorter ATR length (e.g., 20–50).
Higher wick and range multipliers to focus only on extreme events.
Decay per bar closer to 0.95–0.98 and moderate max lifetime.
Volume filter enabled with a decent multiplier (e.g., 1.5–2.0).
Slow, structural zones
Longer ATR length (e.g., 100+).
Moderate wick and range thresholds.
Decay per bar very close to 1.0 for slow fading.
Higher max lifetime and slightly higher min score threshold so only very weak zones disappear.
Noisy, high-volatility instruments
Increase wick and range ATR multipliers to avoid over-triggering.
Consider enabling the volume filter with stronger settings.
Keep decay moderate to avoid the chart getting overloaded with old zones.
Notes
This is a structural and contextual tool, not a complete trading system. It does not account for transaction costs, execution slippage, or your specific strategy rules. Use it to:
Highlight where liquidity has recently been tested hard.
Rank these areas by decaying strength.
Guide your attention when layering in separate entry signals, risk management, and higher-timeframe context.
Time-Decay Liquidity Zones is designed to keep your chart focused on where the market has most recently “cared” about price, and to gradually forget what no longer matters. Adjust the detection, geometry, decay, and gradient to fit your product and timeframe, and let the zones show you which parts of the tape still have unfinished business.

Liquidation Cascade Detector [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Liquidation Cascade Detector employs multi-dimensional microstructure analysis to identify forced liquidation events by synthesizing volume anomalies, price acceleration dynamics, and volatility regime shifts. Unlike conventional momentum indicators that merely track directional bias, this indicator isolates the specific market conditions where leveraged positions experience forced unwinding, creating asymmetric opportunities for mean reversion traders and market makers to take advantage of temporary liquidity imbalances.
These liquidation cascades manifest through various catalysts: overwhelming spot selling coupled with leveraged long liquidation forced unwinding creates downward spirals where organic sell pressure triggers margin calls, which generate additional selling that triggers more margin calls. Conversely, sudden large buy orders or coordinated buying can squeeze overleveraged shorts, forcing buy-to-cover orders that push price higher, triggering additional short stops in a self-reinforcing feedback loop. The indicator captures both scenarios, regardless of whether the initial catalyst is organic flow or forced liquidation.
For sophisticated traders/market makers deploying amplification strategies, this indicator serves as an early warning system for distressed order flow. By detecting the moments when cascading stop-losses and margin calls create self-reinforcing price movements, the system enables traders to: (1) identify forced participants experiencing capital pressure, (2) strategically add liquidity in the direction of panic flow to amplify displacement, (3) accumulate contra-positions during the overshoot phase, and (4) capture mean reversion profits as equilibrium pricing reasserts itself. This approach transforms destructive liquidation events into potential profit opportunities by systematically front-running and then fading coordinated forced selling/buying.
🟢 How It Works
The detection engine operates through a three-tier confirmation framework that validates liquidation events only when multiple independent market stress indicators align simultaneously:
► Tier 1: Volume Anomaly Detection
The system calculates bar-to-bar volume ratios to identify abnormal participation spikes characteristic of forced liquidations. The Volume Spike threshold filters for transactions where current volume significantly exceeds previous bar volume. When leveraged positions hit stop-losses or margin requirements, their simultaneous unwinding creates distinctive volume signatures absent during organic price discovery. This metric isolates moments when market makers face one-sided order flow from distressed participants unable to control execution timing, whether triggered by whale orders absorbing liquidity or cascading margin calls creating relentless directional pressure.
► Tier 2: Price Acceleration Measurement
By comparing current bar's absolute body size against the previous bar's movement, the algorithm quantifies momentum acceleration. The Price Acceleration threshold identifies scenarios where price velocity increases dramatically, a hallmark of cascading liquidations where each stop-loss triggers additional stops in a feedback loop. This calculation distinguishes between gradual trend development (irrelevant for amplification attacks) and explosive moves driven by forced order flow requiring immediate liquidity provision. The metric captures both panic selling scenarios where spot sellers overwhelm bid liquidity triggering long liquidations, and short squeeze dynamics where aggressive buying exhausts offer-side depth forcing short covering.
► Tier 3: Volatility Expansion Analysis
The indicator measures bar range expansion by computing the current high-low range relative to the previous bar. The Volatility Spike threshold captures regime shifts where intrabar price action becomes erratic, evidence that market depth has evaporated and order book imbalance is driving price. Combined with body-to-range analysis indicating strong directional conviction, this metric confirms that volatility expansion reflects genuine liquidation pressure rather than random noise or low-volume chop.
*Supplementary Confirmation Metrics
Beyond the three primary detection tiers, the system analyzes additional candle characteristics that distinguish genuine liquidation events from ordinary volatility:
► Candle Strength: Measures the ratio of candle body size to total bar range. High readings (above 60%) indicate strong directional conviction where price moved decisively in one direction with minimal retracement. During liquidations, distressed traders execute market orders that drive price aggressively without the normal back-and-forth of balanced trading. Strong-bodied candles with minimal wicks confirm forced participants are accepting any available price rather than attempting to minimize slippage, validating that observed volume and price acceleration stem from liquidation pressure rather than routine trading.
► Volume Climax: Identifies when current volume reaches the highest level within recent history. Climax volume events mark terminal liquidation phases where maximum panic or squeeze intensity occurs. These extreme participation spikes typically represent the final wave of forced exits as the last remaining stops are triggered or the final shorts capitulate. For mean reversion traders, volume climax signals provide optimal reversal entry timing, as they mark maximum displacement from equilibrium when all forced sellers/buyers have been exhausted.
*Directional Classification
The system categorizes cascades into two actionable classes:
1. Short Liquidation (Bullish Cascade): Upward price movement combined with cascade patterns equals forced short covering. This occurs when aggressive spot buying (often from whales placing large market orders) or coordinated buy programs exhaust available offer liquidity, spiking price upward and triggering clustered short stop-losses. Short sellers experiencing margin pressure must buy-to-close regardless of price, creating artificial demand spikes that compound the initial buying pressure. The combination of organic buying and forced covering creates explosive upward moves as each liquidated short adds buy-side pressure, triggering additional shorts in a self-reinforcing loop. Market makers can amplify this by lifting offers ahead of forced buy orders, then selling into the exhaustion at elevated levels.
2. Long Liquidation (Bearish Cascade): Downward price movement combined with cascade patterns equals forced long liquidation. This manifests when heavy spot selling (panic sellers, large institutional unwinds, or coordinated distribution) overwhelms bid-side liquidity, breaking through support levels where long stop-losses cluster. Over-leveraged longs facing margin calls must sell-to-close at any price, generating artificial supply waves that compound the initial selling pressure. The dual force of organic selling coupled with forced long liquidation creates downward spirals where each margin call triggers additional margin calls through further price deterioration. Amplification opportunities exist by hitting bids ahead of panic selling, accumulating long positions during the capitulation, and reversing as sellers exhaust.
🟢 How to Use
1. For Mean Reversion Traders
When the indicator highlights a short liquidation cascade (green background), this signals that shorts are experiencing forced buy-to-cover pressure, often initiated by whale bids or aggressive spot buying that triggered the squeeze. Mean reversion traders can interpret this as a temporary upward dislocation from fair value. As the dashboard shows declining momentum metrics and the cascade highlighting stops, this represents a potential fade opportunity. Enter short positions expecting price to revert back toward pre-cascade levels once the forced buying exhausts and the initial large buyer completes their accumulation.
When a long liquidation cascade triggers (red background), longs are undergoing forced sell-to-close liquidation, typically catalyzed by overwhelming spot selling that breached key support levels. This creates artificial downward pressure disconnected from fundamental value, as margin-driven forced selling compounds organic sell flow. Mean reversion traders wait for the cascade to complete (dashboard transitions from active liquidation status to neutral), then enter long positions anticipating snap-back toward equilibrium pricing as panic subsides and forced sellers are exhausted.
You can also monitor the dashboard's Volume Climax indicator. When it displays "YES" during an active cascade, this suggests the liquidation is reaching its terminal phase, whether driven by the final shorts being squeezed out or the last leveraged longs capitulating. Mean reversion entries become highest probability at this point, as maximum displacement from fair value has occurred. Wait for the next 1-3 bars after climax confirmation, then enter contra-trend positions with tight stops.
The Candle Strength metric also helps validate entry timing. When candle strength readings drop significantly after maintaining elevated levels during the cascade, this divergence indicates absorption is occurring. Market makers are stepping in to provide liquidity, supporting your mean reversion thesis. Strong candle bodies during the cascade followed by weaker bodies signal the forced flow is diminishing.
2. For Momentum & Trend Following Traders
When price breaks through a significant resistance level and immediately triggers a short liquidation cascade (green background), this confirms breakout validity through forced participation. Shorts positioned against the breakout are now experiencing margin pressure from the combination of breakout momentum and potential whale buying, creating self-reinforcing buying that propels price higher. Enter long positions during the cascade or immediately after, as the forced covering provides fuel for extended momentum continuation.
Conversely, when price breaks below key support and triggers a long liquidation cascade (red background), the breakdown is validated by forced selling from trapped longs. Heavy spot selling coupled with margin liquidations creates accelerated downside momentum as liquidations cascade through clustered stop-loss levels. Enter short positions as the cascade develops, riding the combined force of organic selling and forced liquidation for extended trend moves.
3. For Sophisticated Traders & Market Makers
► Amplification Attack Execution
Sophisticated operators can exploit cascades through systematic amplification positioning. When a short liquidation is detected (green highlight activating), often initiated by whale bids absorbing offer liquidity, place aggressive buy orders to front-run and amplify the forced short covering. This exacerbates upward pressure, pushing price further from equilibrium and triggering additional clustered stops. Simultaneously begin accumulating short positions at these artificially elevated levels. As dashboard metrics indicate cascade exhaustion (volume spike declining, climax signal appearing, candle strength weakening), flatten amplification longs and hold accumulated shorts into the mean reversion.
For long liquidations (red highlight), typically catalyzed by heavy spot selling overwhelming bid depth, execute the inverse strategy. Place aggressive sell orders to compound the panic selling, amplifying downward displacement and accelerating margin call triggers. Layer long entries at depressed prices during this amplification phase as forced liquidation selling creates artificial supply. When dashboard signals cascade completion (metrics normalizing, volume climax passing), exit amplification shorts and maintain long positions for the reversal trade.
► Market Making During Liquidity Crises
During detected cascades, temporarily adjust quote placement strategy. When dashboard shows all three confirmation metrics activating simultaneously with strong candle bodies, this indicates the highest probability liquidation event, whether from whale order flow or cascading margin calls. Widen spreads dramatically to capture enhanced edge during the liquidity vacuum. Alternatively, step away from quote provision entirely on your natural inventory side (stop offering during short cascades driven by aggressive buying, stop bidding during long cascades driven by overwhelming selling) to avoid adverse selection from forced flow.
Use cascade detection to inform inventory management. During short cascades initiated by large buy orders or short squeezes, reduce existing short inventory exposure while allowing the forced buying to push price higher. Rebuild short inventory only at the inflated levels created by liquidation pressure. During long cascades where spot selling compounds leveraged liquidation, reduce long inventory and use the forced selling to reaccumulate at artificially depressed prices rather than providing stabilizing liquidity too early.
► Sequential Positioning Strategy
Advanced traders can structure trades in phases: (1) Initial amplification orders placed immediately upon cascade detection to front-run forced flow, (2) Contra-position accumulation scaled in as displacement extends and dashboard readings intensify, (3) Amplification trade exit when metrics show deceleration or candle strength weakens, (4) Contra-position hold through mean reversion, targeting pre-cascade price levels. This sequential approach extracts profit from both the dislocation phase and the subsequent equilibrium restoration.
► Risk Monitoring
If cascade highlighting persists across many consecutive bars while dashboard volume readings remain extremely elevated with sustained strong candle bodies, this suggests sustained institutional deleveraging or persistent whale activity rather than simple retail liquidation. Reduce amplification position sizing significantly, as these extended events can exhibit delayed mean reversion. Professional counter-parties may be establishing dominant positions, limiting your edge.
When volatility spike metrics decline while cascade highlighting continues, professional absorption is occurring. Proceed cautiously with amplification strategies, as intelligent liquidity providers are already positioning for the reversal, potentially front-running your intended reversal trade. Similarly, if large liquidation wicks appear during cascades, this indicates partial absorption is happening, suggesting more sophisticated players are taking the opposite side of distressed flow.
Smart Margin Zone
SMART MARGIN ZONE - CME-BASED SUPPORT & RESISTANCE INDICATOR
TITLE FOR PUBLICATION:
Smart Margin Zone - CME Margin-Based Support and Resistance
CATEGORY:
Support and Resistance
SHORT DESCRIPTION (for preview):
Automatically plots margin zones based on CME Group requirements. These zones represent critical price levels where leveraged traders face margin calls, creating natural support and resistance through forced liquidations.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
FULL DESCRIPTION FOR TRADINGVIEW:
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📊 Smart Margin Zone - Professional Trading Zones Based on CME Data
This indicator automatically calculates and displays margin zones derived from official CME Group margin requirements. These zones represent critical price levels where traders using leverage receive margin calls, triggering forced position closures that create natural support and resistance levels.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 CORE CONCEPT
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
When price reaches calculated margin zones, traders using 2:1 or 4:1 leverage on CME futures receive margin calls. Brokers automatically liquidate these positions, creating waves of buying or selling pressure that form strong support and resistance levels.
This is not theoretical - it's based on actual margin requirements from CME Group, the world's largest derivatives marketplace.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📐 CALCULATION METHODOLOGY
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
The indicator uses the following formula to calculate zone sizes:
Zone Size = (Margin Requirement / Tick Value) × Tick Size × 1.10
Where:
• Margin Requirement = Official CME initial margin (updated November 2024)
• Tick Value = Dollar value of minimum price movement
• Tick Size = Minimum price increment
• 1.10 = 10% buffer for realistic zone width
SUPPORTED INSTRUMENTS WITH CME DATA:
Currency Pairs:
• EURUSD: $2,100 margin → 0.0168 zone size
• GBPUSD: $1,800 margin → 0.0144 zone size
• AUDUSD: $1,300 margin → 0.0065 zone size
• NZDUSD: $1,100 margin → 0.0055 zone size
• USDJPY: $3,200 margin → custom calculation
• USDCAD: $950 margin → calculated
• USDCHF: $1,650 margin → calculated
Commodities:
• Gold (XAUUSD): $8,000 margin → 80 points zone size
• Silver (XAGUSD): $6,500 margin → calculated
• WTI Crude Oil: $4,500 margin → calculated

🔍 HOW IT WORKS
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
1. SWING POINT DETECTION
The indicator automatically identifies swing highs and swing lows using a configurable lookback period (default 10 bars). These become anchor points for zone calculations.
2. FIVE ZONE LEVELS
From each swing point, five zone levels are calculated:
• Zone 1/4 (25%) - First correction level
• Zone 1/2 (50%) - KEY ZONE for trend determination
• Zone 3/4 (75%) - Intermediate level
• Zone 1/1 (100%) - Full margin zone (strongest level)
• Zone 5/4 (125%) - Extended zone
3. TREND IDENTIFICATION
• Close above Zone 1/2 resistance = Bullish trend
• Close below Zone 1/2 support = Bearish trend
• Between zones = Range/consolidation
4. HISTORICAL CONTEXT
Current zones are displayed prominently with fills and labels. Historical zones appear as thin, semi-transparent lines for context without cluttering the chart.

Liquidity Void Zone Detector [PhenLabs]📊 Liquidity Void Zone Detector
Version: PineScript™v6
📌 Description
The Liquidity Void Zone Detector is a sophisticated technical indicator designed to identify and visualize areas where price moved with abnormally low volume or rapid momentum, creating "voids" in market liquidity. These zones represent areas where insufficient trading activity occurred during price movement, often acting as magnets for future price action as the market seeks to fill these gaps.
Built on PineScript v6, this indicator employs a dual-detection methodology that analyzes both volume depletion patterns and price movement intensity relative to ATR. The revolutionary 3D visualization system uses three-layer polyline rendering with adaptive transparency and vertical offsets, creating genuine depth perception where low liquidity zones visually recede and high liquidity zones protrude forward. This makes critical market structure immediately apparent without cluttering your chart.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Dual detection algorithm combining volume threshold analysis and ATR-normalized price movement sensitivity for comprehensive void identification
Three-layer 3D visualization system with progressive transparency gradients (85%, 78%, 70%) and calculated vertical offsets for authentic depth perception
Intelligent state machine logic that tracks consecutive void bars and only renders zones meeting minimum qualification requirements
Dynamic strength scoring system (0-100 scale) that combines inverted volume ratios with movement intensity for accurate void characterization
Adaptive ATR-based spacing calculation that automatically adjusts 3D layering depth to match instrument volatility
Efficient memory management system supporting up to 100 simultaneous void visualizations with automatic array-based cleanup
🔧 Core Components
Volume Analysis Engine: Calculates rolling volume averages and compares current bar volume against dynamic thresholds to detect abnormally thin trading conditions
Price Movement Analyzer: Normalizes bar range against ATR to identify rapid price movements that indicate liquidity exhaustion regardless of instrument or timeframe
Void Tracking State Machine: Maintains persistent tracking of void start bars, price boundaries, consecutive bar counts, and cumulative strength across multiple bars
3D Polyline Renderer: Generates three-layer rectangular polylines with precise timestamp-to-bar index conversion and progressive offset calculations
Strength Calculation System: Combines volume component (inverted ratio capped at 100) with movement component (ATR intensity × 30) for comprehensive void scoring
🔥 Key Features
Automatic Void Detection: Continuously scans price action for low volume conditions or rapid movements, triggering void tracking when thresholds are exceeded
Real-Time Visualization: Creates 3D rectangular zones spanning from void initiation to termination, with color-coded depth indicating liquidity type
Adjustable Sensitivity: Configure volume threshold multiplier (0.1-2.0x), price movement sensitivity (0.5-5.0x), and minimum qualifying bars (1-10) for customized detection
Dual Color Coding: Separate visual treatment for low liquidity voids (receding red) and high liquidity zones (protruding green) based on 50-point strength threshold
Optional Compact Labels: Toggle LV (Low Volume) or HV (High Volume) circular labels at void centers for quick identification without visual clutter
Lookback Period Control: Adjust analysis window from 5 to 100 bars to match your trading timeframe and market volatility characteristics
Memory-Efficient Design: Automatically manages polyline and label arrays, deleting oldest elements when user-defined maximum is reached
Data Window Integration: Plots void detection binary, current strength score, and average volume for detailed analysis in TradingView's data window
🎨 Visualization
Three-Layer Depth System: Each void is rendered as three stacked polylines with progressive transparency (85%, 78%, 70%) and calculated vertical offsets creating authentic 3D appearance
Directional Depth Perception: Low liquidity zones recede with back layer most transparent; high liquidity zones protrude with front layer most transparent for instant visual differentiation
Adaptive Offset Spacing: Vertical separation between layers calculated as ATR(14) × 0.001, ensuring consistent 3D effect across different instruments and volatility regimes
Color Customization: Fully configurable base colors for both low liquidity zones (default: red with 80 transparency) and high liquidity zones (default: green with 80 transparency)
Minimal Chart Clutter: Closed polylines with matching line and fill colors create clean rectangular zones without unnecessary borders or visual noise
Background Highlight: Subtle yellow background (96% transparency) marks bars where void conditions are actively detected in real-time
Compact Labeling: Optional tiny circular labels with 60% transparent backgrounds positioned at void center points for quick reference
📖 Usage Guidelines
Detection Settings
Lookback Period: Default: 10 | Range: 5-100 | Number of bars analyzed for volume averaging and void detection. Lower values increase sensitivity to recent changes; higher values smooth detection across longer timeframes. Adjust based on your trading timeframe: short-term traders use 5-15, swing traders use 20-50, position traders use 50-100.
Volume Threshold: Default: 1.0 | Range: 0.1-2.0 (step 0.1) | Multiplier applied to average volume. Bars with volume below (average × threshold) trigger void conditions. Lower values detect only extreme volume depletion; higher values capture more moderate low-volume situations. Start with 1.0 and decrease to 0.5-0.7 for stricter detection.
Price Movement Sensitivity: Default: 1.5 | Range: 0.5-5.0 (step 0.1) | Multiplier for ATR-normalized price movement detection. Values above this threshold indicate rapid price changes suggesting liquidity voids. Increase to 2.0-3.0 for volatile instruments; decrease to 0.8-1.2 for ranging or low-volatility conditions.
Minimum Void Bars: Default: 10 | Range: 1-10 | Minimum consecutive bars exhibiting void conditions required before visualization is created. Filters out brief anomalies and ensures only sustained voids are displayed. Use 1-3 for scalping, 5-10 for intraday trading, 10+ for swing trading to match your time horizon.
Visual Settings
Low Liquidity Color: Default: Red (80% transparent) | Base color for zones where volume depletion or rapid movement indicates thin liquidity. These zones recede visually (back layer most transparent). Choose colors that contrast with your chart theme for optimal visibility.
High Liquidity Color: Default: Green (80% transparent) | Base color for zones with relatively higher liquidity compared to void threshold. These zones protrude visually (front layer most transparent). Ensure clear differentiation from low liquidity color.
Show Void Labels: Default: True | Toggle display of compact LV/HV labels at void centers. Disable for cleaner charts when trading; enable for analysis and review to quickly identify void types across your chart.
Max Visible Voids: Default: 50 | Range: 10-100 | Maximum number of void visualizations kept on chart. Each void uses 3 polylines, so setting of 50 maintains 150 total polylines. Higher values preserve more history but may impact performance on lower-end systems.
✅ Best Use Cases
Gap Fill Trading: Identify unfilled liquidity voids that price frequently returns to, providing high-probability retest and reversal opportunities when price approaches these zones
Breakout Validation: Distinguish genuine breakouts through established liquidity from false breaks into void zones that lack sustainable volume support
Support/Resistance Confluence: Layer void detection over key horizontal levels to validate structural integrity—levels within high liquidity zones are stronger than those in voids
Trend Continuation: Monitor for new void formation in trend direction as potential continuation zones where price may accelerate due to reduced resistance
Range Trading: Identify void zones within consolidation ranges that price tends to traverse quickly, helping to avoid getting caught in rapid moves through thin areas
Entry Timing: Wait for price to reach void boundaries rather than entering mid-void, as voids tend to be traversed quickly with limited profit-taking opportunities
⚠️ Limitations
Historical Pattern Indicator: Identifies past liquidity voids but cannot predict whether price will return to fill them or when filling might occur
No Volume on Forex: Indicator uses tick volume for forex pairs, which approximates but doesn't represent true trading volume, potentially affecting detection accuracy
Lagging Confirmation: Requires minimum consecutive bars (default 10) before void is visualized, meaning detection occurs after void formation begins
Trending Market Behavior: Strong trends driven by fundamental catalysts may create voids that remain unfilled for extended periods or permanently
Timeframe Dependency: Detection sensitivity varies significantly across timeframes; settings optimized for one timeframe may not perform well on others
No Directional Bias: Indicator identifies liquidity characteristics but provides no predictive signal for price direction after void detection
Performance Considerations: Higher max visible void settings combined with small minimum void bars can generate numerous visualizations impacting chart rendering speed
💡 What Makes This Unique
Industry-First 3D Visualization: Unlike flat volume or liquidity indicators, the three-layer rendering with directional depth perception provides instant visual hierarchy of liquidity quality
Dual-Mode Detection: Combines both volume-based and movement-based detection methodologies, capturing voids that single-approach indicators miss
Intelligent Qualification System: State machine logic prevents premature visualization by requiring sustained void conditions, reducing false signals and chart clutter
ATR-Normalized Analysis: All detection thresholds adapt to instrument volatility, ensuring consistent performance across stocks, forex, crypto, and futures without constant recalibration
Transparency-Based Depth: Uses progressive transparency gradients rather than colors or patterns to create depth, maintaining visual clarity while conveying information hierarchy
Comprehensive Strength Metrics: 0-100 void strength calculation considers both the degree of volume depletion and the magnitude of price movement for nuanced zone characterization
🔬 How It Works
Phase 1: Real-Time Detection
On each bar close, the indicator calculates average volume over the lookback period and compares current bar volume against the volume threshold multiplier
Simultaneously measures current bar's high-low range and normalizes it against ATR, comparing the result to price movement sensitivity parameter
If either volume falls below threshold OR movement exceeds sensitivity threshold, the bar is flagged as exhibiting void characteristics
Phase 2: Void Tracking & Qualification
When void conditions first appear, state machine initializes tracking variables: start bar index, initial top/bottom prices, consecutive bar counter, and cumulative strength accumulator
Each subsequent bar with void conditions extends the tracking, updating price boundaries to envelope all bars and accumulating strength scores
When void conditions cease, system checks if consecutive bar count meets minimum threshold; if yes, proceeds to visualization; if no, discards the tracking and resets
Phase 3: 3D Visualization Construction
Calculates average void strength by dividing cumulative strength by number of bars, then determines if void is low liquidity (>50 strength) or high liquidity (≤50 strength)
Generates three polyline layers spanning from start bar to end bar and from top price to bottom price, each with calculated vertical offset based on ATR
Applies progressive transparency (85%, 78%, 70%) with layer ordering creating recession effect for low liquidity zones and protrusion effect for high liquidity zones
Creates optional center label and pushes all visual elements into arrays for memory management
Phase 4: Memory Management & Display
Continuously monitors polyline array size (each void creates 3 polylines); when total exceeds max visible voids × 3, deletes oldest polylines via array.shift()
Similarly manages label array, removing oldest labels when count exceeds maximum to prevent memory accumulation over extended chart history
Plots diagnostic data to TradingView’s data window (void detection binary, current strength, average volume) for detailed analysis without cluttering main chart
💡 Note:
This indicator is designed to enhance your market structure analysis by revealing liquidity characteristics that aren’t visible through standard price and volume displays. For best results, combine void detection with your existing support/resistance analysis, trend identification, and risk management framework. Liquidity voids are descriptive of past market behavior and should inform positioning decisions rather than serve as standalone entry/exit signals. Experiment with detection parameters across different timeframes to find settings that align with your trading style and instrument characteristics.

WaveLab GOLD Study**Description**
`WaveLab GOLD Study – Liquidity & Structure` is an educational chart study that visualizes market structure, liquidity context and confluence.
It is not a trading system and does not generate trade instructions or orders.
**Main Components**
* **Liquidity Engine** – Builds demand/supply-style boxes around strong breaks of structure, high-volume candles and optional FVG conditions.
When price revisits a strong box, the study can plot bar markers:
`B` below the bar for bullish context, `S` above the bar for bearish context.
* **Trend & LR / MTF Context** – Optional EMAs, Donchian, VWAP and a Linear Regression slope with simple angle classification (`strong up / flat / strong down`), plus multi-timeframe RSI to show broader directional background.
* **Price Action Layer** – Detects a small set of classic bar patterns (engulfing, hammer / shooting star, inside / outside bar) and summarizes them into a qualitative bias (bullish, bearish, inside, outside, neutral).
* **Dashboard** – Compact table that displays price, short-term momentum, trend state, PA status, liquidity context and the current B/S confluence marker.
**How to Use (Educational)**
1. Start from liquidity boxes to see where reactions cluster.
2. Add trend, LR and MTF context to understand whether price is moving with or against the broader environment.
3. Use B/S markers and the dashboard only as visual summaries to review bars and build a discretionary framework; they are not entry or exit signals.

Liquidity & inducementsHi all!
This indicator will show liquidity and inducements.
I will continue to try to add different types of liquidity and inducements, at this moment it contains 6 kinds of liquidity/inducement, they are:
• Grabs
• Big grabs
• Sweeps
• Turtle soups
• Equal highs/lows (liquidity and inducement)
• BSL & SSL
And 1 type of inducement:
• Retracement
This description will contain indicator examples of each individual liquidity and inducement. They will all be with the default settings.
Settings
First you will find settings for the market structure (BOS/CHoCH/CHoCH+). Select left and right pivot lengths and if the pivots should have a label or not.
This is the base foundation of this indicator and is possible with my library 'PriceAction' ().
You will see solid lines for break of structures (BOS), change of characters (CHoCH) and change of character plus (CHoCH+).
The pivots found will be the core of this indicator and will show you when the closing price breaks it. When that happens a break of structure (BOS) or a change of character (CHoCH or CHoCH+) will be created. The latest 5 pivots found within the current trend will be kept to take action on.
A break of structure is removed if an earlier pivot within the same trend is broken and the pivot's high price for a bullish trend or low price for a bearish trend is more extreme than the BOS pivot's price.
You are able to show the pivots that are used. "HH" (higher high), "HL" (higher low), "LH" (lower high), "LL" (lower low) and "H"/"L" (for pivots (high/low) when the trend has changed) are the labels used.
In the next section ('Liquidity ($$$)') you can select which types of liquidity you want to see. Note that 'Equal highs/lows' can also show inducement (more on that later).
In the section afterwards ('Inducement (IDM)') you can select if you want retracement inducements to be visible or not. More information on what they are later on.
The section for each individual liquidity and/or inducement can first contain a line named 'Pivot', where you can set the pivot lengths (first left, then right). Then you can set the 'Lookback', which means that the 'Lookback' number of past pivots is to take action on. After that you set the 'Timeframe' for the pivots used. That means that all available liquidity/inducements will be from your desired timeframe. Lastly you set the color of the liquidity/inducement (either a single color or bullish followed by bearish colors).
Lastly in the settings you can select the font sizes for the market structure and liquidity/inducements and what style liquidity/inducements lines will have. The sizes defaults to 7 and has a dotted line look.
Grabs
Liquidity grabs and liquidity sweeps are very similar. It all depends on if the current bar closed above/below the liquidity pivot and on if its a continuation or reversal. In a liquidity grab the bar that's above or below the liquidity pivot was not closed above or below it. Like this:
Or
The visual feedback will be a dotted line between the liquidity pivot and liquidity grab bar and a linefill between the high of the liquidity grab bar and the liquidity pivot.
Indicator example:
Big grabs
This is another 'grabs' option. You can show an additional grab if you want to. I suggest having this grab from a higher timeframe or with larger pivot lengths than the other grab.
The default is with the chart timeframe and 10/10 as pivot lengths.
Indicator example:
Sweeps
A liquidity sweep is like a liquidity grab but with the difference that price closes above/below and has a continuation instead of a reversal. If the liquidity pivot was at the same bar as a BOS/CHoCH/CHoCH+ it will not be a liquidity grab but a structural break instead.
They can look like this:
Indicator example;
Turtle soups
If only one candle is beyond the pivot it could be a liquidity grab. It's a grab if price didn't close beyond the liquidity pivot, if so it's invaliditet. Turtle soups are basically false breakouts that takes liquidity (is a false breakout from a pivot with the lengths and timeframe from the settings).
The turtle soup can have a confirmation in the terms of a change of character (CHoCH). You can enable this in the settings section for 'Turtle soups' through the 'Confirmation' checkbox (enabled by default). The turtle soup strategy usually comes with some sort of confirmation, in this case a CHoCH, but it can also be a market structure shift (MSS) or a change in state of delivery (CISD).
The addition of turtle soups is possible through my script 'Turtle soup' ().
The drawing will be a dotted line between the liquidity pivot and the last bar of the false breakout and a box from the start of the false breakout to the end of it.
Indicator example:
Equal highs/lows
Equal highs/lows will always show liquidity, but might also show inducement. Inducement will be shown on equal lows if the trend is bullish and on equal highs if it's bearish, like this:
Or
Equal highs can only be created if the second pivot is lower than the first one. Equal lows can only be created if the second pivot is higher than the first one. If that is not the case it could be a liquidity grab.
When equal highs or equal lows are find that produces inducement (equal lows in a bullish trend and equal highs in a bearish trend), the indicator will first display inducement and will show liquidity once traders are induced to enter the security. Stop loss placement, for liquidity, is 0.1 * the average true range (ATR, of length 14). They will look like this:
Only inducement:
Inducement and liquidity:
Indicator example:
Equal highs/lows inducements can not be triggered after a BOS/CHoCH/CHoCH+. They are cleared upon a structural break.
BSL & SSL
Buyside liquidity (BSL) and sellside liquidity (SSL) will be shown. A pivot that's been mitigated (touched by price) can never be BSL or SSL. The BSL/SSL available will be dynamic while price moves (work in Replay and lower timeframes that moves fast) and pick the latest pivot/s (with left and right lengths from the 'Market structure' section). You can define how many BSL/SSL you want to see with a default value of 1, meaning only 1 BSL and 1 SSL can be shown. If there is no unmitigated high (BSL) or low (SSL), no BSL/SSL will be available to show. If there are BSL/SSL available they're very useful to use as targets for entering a trade.
The will look like this when available;
And without BSL available:
Or
And without SSL available:
Note that the examples without BSL/SSL available could have liquidity available from previous price legs.
This can be an example of a BSL/SSL sequence:
First both buyside and sellside liquidity is available:
Then a new low appears and new sellside liquidity is available:
Then buyside liquidity is mitigated, so only sellside liquidity is available:
A new high pivot appears and buyside liquidity is available again:
Lastly a bearish CHoCH happens and sellside liquidity is mitigated, only buyside liquidity is available:
Retracement
The first retracement after a BOS/CHoCH/CHoCH+ is considered an inducement with the mission to get traders into a trade prematurely to get stopped out. This level is shown and look like this:
Or
A retracement inducement is removed when a new BOS/CHoCH/CHoCH+ appears and it's not triggered.
---------------------------
As of now there aren't any alerts available. You cannot use the Pine Screener from Tradingview either to see new liquidity/inducement events. I have this planned for future updates though.
I hope that this long description makes sense, let me know otherwise! Also let me know if you experience any bugs or have a feature request or just want to share good settings to use.
Best of trading luck!
Liquidity Hunt Detector PDH/PDL [SmartFoxy]Liquidity Hunt Detector PDH/PDL
The Liquidity Hunt Detector (LHD) is designed to identify and anticipate liquidity grabs around the:
• Previous Day High (PDH);
• Previous Day Low (PDL).
It builds dynamic trigger levels that highlight where price may deliver its first impulse before reaching PDH/PDL.
The Liquidity Hunt Detector (LHD) identifies high-probability reversals and continuations around the Previous Day High (PDH) and Previous Day Low (PDL).
It dynamically tracks the market’s move from the session open, builds trigger levels toward PDH/PDL, and highlights where liquidity is most likely to be taken.
When price taps a Trigger Up/Down level, the indicator generates Long/Short signals with optional confirmation from the integrated MA Ribbon , ensuring only high-quality, trend-aligned setups are shown.
When price interacts with these trigger levels, the indicator generates signals that help traders evaluate the market structure and prepare for potential entries.
Designed for Forex, Crypto, Indices, Stocks , the LHD provides a clean and intuitive structure for navigating intraday liquidity grabs, session impulses, and directional bias shifts.
The indicator is built from three fully independent modules, each of which can be used separately:
Liquidity Hunt Detector (LHD)
Moving Average Ribbon (MA Ribbon)
Previous Day High/Low (PDH/PDL) levels
Liquidity Hunt Detector (LHD) Logic
1.1 Display LHD – Enables or disables the entire Liquidity Hunt Detector module.
1.2 Max Days – Number of previous days used to generate PDH/PDL levels.
1.3 GMT – Corrects all time-based calculations based on your broker/session timezone.
1.4 Calculation Method (Point A Logic)
1) Static Method
Point A = the session’s opening price.
Trigger lines are calculated strictly as a percentage of the move A → PDH or A → PDL.
Intraday fluctuations do not affect the calculation.
2) Dynamic Method
Point A updates using the current intraday high/low:
• If price forms a new low, Point A updates for the PDH-side calculations;
• If price forms a new high, Point A updates for the PDL-side calculations.
This produces trigger lines that reflect the true live market structure rather than a fixed opening reference.
1.5 Main OTT Time (Operational Trading Time)
This is the core time window during which the indicator:
• updates Point A;
• calculates trigger levels;
• validates PDH/PDL;
• draws AB / AC movement structure;
• generates entry signals.
Outside this window, no new signals or recalculations occur.
⚠ If your broker’s first candle opens at a non-standard time (e.g., 00:08), adjust the OTT start time to avoid visual artifacts.
1.6 Show Line A – Displays the opening price level (Point A) until the end of the OTT window.
Style, width, and color are customizable.
1.7 Show Line AB — Price Movement Toward PDH.
Static Method – Single line: A → PDH
Dynamic Method – Two segments:
• A → Daily Low;
• Daily Low → PDH.
If PDH is swept, the “B” label switches to Sweep PDH.
1.8 Show Line AC – Price Movement Toward PDL.
Static Method – Single line: A → PDL
Dynamic Method – Two segments:
• A → Daily High;
• Daily High → PDL.
If PDL is swept, the “C” label switches to Sweep PDL.
1.9 Show Trigger Up Line (LONG Trigger) – Defines the level where the Long signal can activate.
By default, at 50% of the A → PDH movement.
When price touches this line, the script may:
• show a LONG label;
• trigger an alert.
All visual parameters are customizable.
1.10 Show Trigger Up Line (LONG Trigger)
Same logic as Trigger Up, but based on A → PDL.
1.11 Show Main Zone (OTT Zone) – Visual background highlighting of the active OTT window.
Helps instantly see:
• whether signals are allowed;
• how much time remains in the trading window?
Color and opacity are adjustable.
1.12 Upper Zone (toward PDH) – Tracks the protected area towards PDH.
Updates dynamically with new highs.
1.13 Lower Zone (toward PDL) – Tracks the zone toward PDL.
Updates dynamically with new lows.
1.14 Show Labels – Displays reference labels (A, B, C, Trigger Up, Trigger Down).
Label size is customizable.
1.15 Add Price – Adds the exact price value to each label.
1.16 Change Color after Sweep PDH or PDL – After PDH or PDL is broken, the indicator automatically recolors lines and labels to visually confirm the sweep.
1.17 Show SHORT Label – Displays the SHORT entry label when all conditions for a bearish signal are met.
Style parameters are set in the previous blocks.
1.18 Alert on Bearish Trigger Down – Triggers an alert when the price activates the bearish trigger.
1.19 Show LONG Label – Displays the LONG entry label when bullish conditions are met.
Style parameters are set in the previous blocks.
1.20 Alert on Bullish Trigger Up – Triggers an alert when the price activates the bullish trigger.
1.21 Alerts Active Time – Defines a custom time interval during which trigger signals are allowed.
Even if price touches a trigger level,
❗ signals will NOT be generated outside this allowed time.
Useful for:
• avoiding Asian session signals;
• reducing noise in low-liquidity periods.
1.22 Labels and Alerts Display Mode
Two settings modes:
• On Trigger (Instant Mode) – Signals appear immediately when price touches the trigger.
• On Candle Close (Conservative Mode) – Signals form only after the candle closes beyond the trigger level.
A more conservative option.
1.23 Delay LHD Signal Until MA Ribbon Confirms Direction – If enabled, LHD signals will NOT fire until the MA Ribbon produces a matching directional signal.
Logic:
• Price hits the trigger → LHD conditions become “armed”;
• The indicator waits;
• When MA Ribbon confirms trend direction (Long/Short);
• The final LHD label + alert is generated.
This ensures LHD trades are filtered and aligned with MA-based trend confirmation.
⚠ Works only when the MA Ribbon module is active.

Liquidity Sweeps + Swing High/Low — SMC/ICT (@PueblaATH)Liquidity Sweeps + Swing High/Low — SMC/ICT (@PueblaATH) is a liquidity-driven Smart Money Concepts tool that automatically maps out key swing highs and lows, tracks how they evolve into liquidity pools, and highlights when those levels are swept and either respected or invalidated. This indicator is built to give traders a clean, event-driven view of stop runs and liquidity grabs across any timeframe, from scalping to higher-timeframe context.
What the Indicator Does
Swing Structure & Liquidity Pools
Detects swing highs and lows using a configurable swing length, projects levels forward in time, and builds a liquidity-pool database through pivot arrays used for sweep detection.
Liquidity Sweeps (Stop Runs)
Identifies bearish (upward) and bullish (downward) sweeps through prior liquidity levels using three modes: Any Touch, Wick + Close Back, and Retest Rejection.
Each sweep can generate projective lines, labeled markers, and alerts.
Scope, Rate Limiting & Clean Visuals
Controls minimum spacing between swings and sweeps, limits sweep duplication, auto-revokes invalidated sweeps, and restricts the maximum number of visible events.
Smart offset logic reduces label overlap and keeps charts clean even in dense price action.
Timeframe Filters & Utilities
Allows hiding all drawings between specific timeframes and optionally skipping calculations or clearing internal state when hidden.
Includes debug pivot markers and an optional TF/Bucket badge.
Timeframe Auto-Mode (Original Adaptive Engine)
This indicator features a fully original, seven-bucket Auto-Mode engine that adapts sensitivity to the active timeframe.
Bucket Classification (by seconds)
≤1m, >1m–15m, >15m–30m, >30m–1h, >1h–4h, >4h–1d, >1d.
Bucket-Specific Settings
Each bucket has unique sensitivity sets:
Swing/Sweep lengths
Projection distances
Line style and width
Rate-limiting gaps
Pivot count and bar-lookback windows
Overlap windows
Adaptive Behavior
Lower timeframes gain more reactive behavior, while higher timeframes apply smoother and more selective filters.
Manual Override
Auto-Mode can be disabled to use the Core manual settings for full customization.
How to Use It
Attach the indicator and choose whether to keep Auto-Mode ON or OFF.
Select the sweep mode (e.g., Wick + Close Back for ICT-style liquidity grabs).
Adjust label text, size, color, and offsets to your preference.
Use timeframe filters to show drawings only where you want them.
Enable alerts for bullish sweeps, bearish sweeps, or revocations.
Combine sweep events with your own confluence (sessions, bias, OBs/FVGs, etc.).

Liquidity Sweeps 2.0 – MGTrading Professional Liquidity Sweep Engine with Volume, MACD, Trend, SMT Divergence & Rolling VWAP
Liquidity Sweeps 2.0 is a **complete precision-based liquidity detection framework** built for traders who follow smart money concepts, sweep-based entries, and algorithmic price behavior.
This tool detects **high-probability buy/sell sweeps**, confirms them with market structure, Volume, MACD engine, Trend filtering, SMT divergence, and overlays a Rolling VWAP to track accumulation & distribution behavior.
It is designed for futures, indices, forex, crypto, and options traders.
-
🔥 **MAIN FEATURES**
✅ **1. True Liquidity Sweep Detection**
Automatically detects when price:
* Sweeps a prior high (Sell Sweep)
* Sweeps a prior low (Buy Sweep)
* Rejects and closes back inside the previous range
This helps identify real **stop hunts**, **liquidity grabs**, and **reversal moments**.
---
✅ **2. Volume Spike Confirmation (Smart Filter) **
Sweeps are only confirmed when volume exceeds the dynamic SMA threshold.
This filters out weak sweeps and keeps only **high-quality liquidity grabs**.
✅ **3. MACD Engine Confirmation**
Advanced MACD rules confirm sweeps by:
* MACD direction
* MACD signal agreement
* MACD histogram alignment
This dramatically increases accuracy and removes fake sweeps that occur in weak trends.
Optional **MACD Divergence Detection** reveals trend exhaustion before major reversals.
✅ **4. EMA Trend Filter (9/21) **
Avoid fighting the trend with the optional trend filter:
* Only buy sweeps in uptrend
* Only sell sweeps in downtrend
Great for scalpers and day traders who want trend alignment.
✅ **5. SMT Divergence (Relative Strength vs Reference Symbol) **
Enable SMT to detect when:
* Your chart sweeps a high/low
* But the reference symbol DOES NOT
This creates **displacement**, a powerful reversal signal used by institutional traders.
The symbol is selectable (ES, NQ, SPY, QQQ, BTC.D, DXY, etc.).
✅ **6. Rolling VWAP (RVWAP)**
A more dynamic version of VWAP using:
* Time-based rolling windows
* Volume-weighted price
* Automatic or adjustable window size
* Color change based on slope
Excellent for tracking **accumulation**, **distribution**, and **algorithmic trend bias**.
✅ **7. Clean Mode**
Only show “confirmed” sweeps with a ✓
Ideal for traders who want a simple and clean chart.
# 📊 **LABELS & COLOR CODING**
* 🟥 **Sweep Sell**
* 🟩 **Sweep Buy**
* 🟧 **MACD Bearish Divergence**
* 🟩 **MACD Bullish Divergence**
* 🟦/🟧 **RVWAP Up/Down Trend**
* “✓” means the sweep passed all confirmations.
# 🎯 **WHO IS THIS FOR?**
✔ Futures Traders (ES, NQ, YM, RTY, CL, GC)
✔ Options Traders (SPX, SPY, QQQ)
✔ Forex Traders
✔ Crypto Traders
✔ Smart Money / ICT Style Traders
✔ Liquidity Sweep Traders
✔ Scalpers, Day Traders, Swing Traders
If you trade **liquidity**, **sweeps**, **SMT**, **divergence**, or **VWAP-based behavior**, this indicator is designed for you.
# 🧠 **HOW TO USE IT**
1. Wait for a sweep label to appear at a liquidity pool.
2. Confirm with volume + MACD + trend (if enabled).
3. Watch RVWAP for bias (accumulation vs distribution).
4. Enter on the imbalance/FVG, retrace, or structure break.
5. Use SMT divergence as a premium confirmation.
This tool does NOT repaint after the bar closes.
Signals only appear when conditions are confirmed.
# 📦 **SETTINGS OVERVIEW**
* Lookback window for sweeps: (7 - 13)
* Volume spike threshold
* MACD lengths & filters
* Trend filter (EMA 9/21)
* SMT reference symbol

Screener (ILPAC) [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This script is a powerful multi-symbol scanner designed to work as a companion to the "Institutional Liquidity & PA Concepts" (ILPAC) indicator. It allows you to monitor the key price action and liquidity signals from the ILPAC suite across a watchlist of up to 18 assets, all from a single dashboard. The primary goal of this tool is to provide a high-level market overview, enabling you to efficiently spot assets that are showing strong structural trends, interacting with key liquidity zones, or exhibiting signs of FOMO-driven volatility.
Instead of switching between dozens of charts, you can use this screener to quickly filter for assets that meet your specific trading criteria based on the advanced concepts of market structure, liquidity analysis, trend lines, and market sentiment.
🟠 CONCEPTS
The screener is built upon the core analytical engine of the "Institutional Liquidity & PA Concepts" indicator. It applies the proprietary algorithms of the ILPAC indicator to each symbol in your watchlist and presents the results in an easy-to-digest table. The concepts are combined to create a holistic view of the market.
Each column in the table is a window into a specific trading concept:
Market Structure: This is the foundation of price action analysis. The screener identifies the current market trend (bullish or bearish) by tracking swing highs and lows. It also flags critical events like a Break of Structure (BOS), which signals trend continuation, and a Change of Character (CHoCH), which suggests a potential trend reversal.
Liquidity Analysis: The screener analyzes order flow to determine where significant liquidity is resting. The "Liquidity Bias" column shows the net direction of this pressure, while the "Liquidity Event" column alerts you when price interacts with these key zones, either by forming a new one or mitigating an old one.
Trend Lines: This concept automates the classic technical analysis technique of drawing trend lines. The screener identifies significant swing points to form trend lines and then monitors them, alerting you to potential trend continuations or breakouts.
FOMO Bubbles: This concept measures crowd psychology by identifying sudden spikes in volume and price movement that are characteristic of "Fear of Missing Out." These signals can help identify potential trend exhaustion points or the start of a speculative rally.
By presenting these distinct but interconnected concepts together, the screener provides a multi-faceted view that allows traders to build a strong, confluence-based trading thesis.
🟠 FEATURES
This screener organizes a vast amount of data into a simple, color-coded table. Here is a breakdown of each column and the values you can expect to see:
Asset: Displays the ticker symbol for the asset being analyzed.
Market Structure: Shows the dominant trend based on swing highs and lows.
Bull: The asset is in a structural uptrend (making higher highs and higher lows).
Bear: The asset is in a structural downtrend (making lower highs and lower lows).
Detecting: The trend is neutral or a clear structure has not yet been established.
Structure Event: Flags the most recent significant market structure event.
Bull CHoCH: A bullish Change of Character, signaling a potential shift from a downtrend to an uptrend.
Bear CHoCH: A bearish Change of Character, signaling a potential shift from an uptrend to a downtrend.
Bull BOS: A bullish Break of Structure, confirming the continuation of an uptrend.
Bear BOS: A bearish Break of Structure, confirming the continuation of a downtrend.
–: No significant event has occurred recently.
Latest Swing Label: Identifies the most recently confirmed swing point.
HH: Higher High.
HL: Higher Low.
LH: Lower High.
LL: Lower Low.
–: No new swing point has been confirmed.
Liquidity Bias: Measures the net direction of liquidity and its relative strength.
▲ : A bullish liquidity bias, where the number indicates the strength.
▼ : A bearish liquidity bias, where the number indicates the strength.
Balanced: Liquidity is relatively balanced between buyers and sellers.
Liquidity Event: Indicates recent interactions with key liquidity zones.
New▲: A new bullish liquidity zone has just formed.
New▼: A new bearish liquidity zone has just formed.
Mit▲: Price has just tested (mitigated) a key bullish liquidity zone.
Mit▼: Price has just tested (mitigated) a key bearish liquidity zone.
–: No recent interaction.
Trend Line: Displays the status of automatically drawn trend lines.
Break▲: Price has broken above a key bearish trend line.
Break▼: Price has broken below a key bullish trend line.
Bull TL: Price is respecting an active bullish trend line.
Bear TL: Price is respecting an active bearish trend line.
–: No significant trend line is currently active.
FOMO: Detects sentiment-driven price moves of varying intensity.
Big▲/Med▲/Small▲: A bullish FOMO bubble has been detected (large, medium, or small).
Big▼/Med▼/Small▼: A bearish FOMO bubble has been detected (large, medium, or small).
–: No FOMO activity detected.
🟠 USAGE
The primary way to use this screener is to quickly scan your watchlist for assets that exhibit a confluence of bullish or bearish signals, which can significantly improve the probability of a trade.
1. Setup and Configuration:
Add the screener to your chart.
Open the settings and populate the "Watchlist" section with the symbols you want to track.
Fine-tune the input settings for each component (Market Structure, Liquidity, etc.) to match your preferred trading style. These settings will apply to all symbols in the table.
2. Interpreting the Columns for Trading Decisions:
Market Structure Columns: Use the first three structure columns to define your trading bias. For a high-probability long setup, you would look for an asset with a "Bull" structure, a recent "Bull BOS" event, and a "HL" as the latest swing point. This confirms the uptrend is healthy and ongoing.
Liquidity Columns: These are crucial for identifying key price levels. A strong "Liquidity Bias" can confirm your directional bias. A "Mit▲" (mitigation) event at a support level can be a powerful entry trigger, as it shows that institutional buy orders are defending that zone.
Trend Line Column: This is ideal for breakout traders. A "Break▲" signal can serve as an excellent entry confirmation, especially if the overall "Market Structure" is already "Bull".
FOMO Column: This column is best used for identifying potential exhaustion points. For instance, if you are in a long trade and a "Big▲" FOMO signal appears after a strong rally, it could be a sign that the move is overextended and it's a good time to consider taking profits.

ICT Sessions Ranges [SwissAlgo]ICT Session Ranges - ICT Liquidity Zones & Market Structure
OVERVIEW
This indicator identifies and visualizes key intraday trading sessions and liquidity zones based on Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology (AM, NY Lunch Raid, PM Session, London Raid). It tracks 'higher high' and 'lower low' price levels during specific time periods that may represent areas where market participants have placed orders (liquidity).
PURPOSE
The indicator helps traders observe:
Session-based price ranges during different market hours
Opening range gaps between market close and next day's open
Potential areas where liquidity may be concentrated and trigger price action
SESSIONS TRACKED
1. London Session (02:00-05:00 ET): Tracks price range during early London trading hours
2. AM Session (09:30-12:00 ET): Tracks price range during the morning New York session
3. NY Lunch Session (12:00-13:30 ET): Tracks price range during typical low-volume lunch period
4. PM Session (13:30-16:00 ET): Tracks price range during the afternoon New York session
CALCULATIONS
Session High/Low: The highest high and lowest low recorded during each active session period
Opening Range Gap: Calculated as the difference between the previous day's 16:00 close and the current day's 09:30 open
Gap Mitigation: A gap is considered mitigated when the price reaches 50% of the gap range
All times are based on America/New_York timezone (ET)
BACKGROUND INDICATORS
NY Trading Hours (09:30-16:00 ET): Optional gray background overlay
Asian Session (20:00-23:59 ET): Optional purple background overlay
VISUAL ELEMENTS
Horizontal lines mark session highs and lows
Subtle background boxes highlight each session range
Labels identify each session type
Orange shaded boxes indicate unmitigated opening range gaps
Dotted line at 50% gap level shows mitigation threshold
FEATURES
Toggle visibility for each session independently
Customizable colors for each session type
Automatic removal of mitigated gaps
All drawing objects use transparent backgrounds for chart clarity
ICT CONCEPTS
This tool relates to concepts discussed by Inner Circle Trader regarding liquidity pools, session-based analysis, and gap theory. The indicator assumes that session highs and lows may represent areas where liquidity is concentrated, and that opening range gaps may attract price until mitigated.
USAGE NOTES
Best used on intraday timeframes (1-15 minute charts)
All sessions are calculated based on actual price movement during specified time periods
Historical session data is preserved as new sessions develop
Gap detection only triggers at 09:30 ET market open
DISCLAIMER
This indicator is for educational and informational purposes only. It displays historical price levels and time-based calculations. Past performance of price levels is not indicative of future results. The identification of "liquidity zones" is a theoretical concept and does not guarantee that orders exist at these levels or that prices will react to them. Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Users should conduct their own analysis and risk assessment before making any trading decisions.
TIME ZONE
Set your timezone to: America/New_York (UTC-5)
Liquidity + Order-Flow Exhaustion (Smart-Money Logic)Liquidity + Order-Flow Exhaustion (Smart-Money Logic) is a visual tool that helps traders recognize where big market participants (“smart money”) are likely accumulating or distributing positions.
It identifies liquidity sweeps (stop-hunts above or below previous swing levels) and market structure shifts (reversals confirmed by price closing back in the opposite direction).
In simple terms, it shows where price “tricks” retail traders into chasing breakouts — right before reversing.
How it works:
The script scans recent highs and lows to find when price breaks them and quickly rejects — a sign of stop-hunts or liquidity grabs.
It then checks for a close back inside the previous range to confirm a possible Market Structure Shift (MSS).
When this happens, the chart highlights the zone and optionally adds directional labels (🔹 or 🔸) to mark where the liquidity event occurred.
How to read the signals:
🟢 Bullish shift — Price takes out a previous low, then closes higher. This often marks the end of a short-term down-move.
🔴 Bearish shift — Price sweeps a previous high, then closes lower. This often marks the end of a short-term rally.
Colored backgrounds and labels help visualize these key reversals directly on the chart.
How to use it:
Apply to any timeframe; 15-minute to 4-hour charts work best.
Use it to confirm reversals near major swing points or liquidity zones.
Combine with volume spikes, displacement candles, or Fair-Value Gaps (FVGs) for stronger confirmation.
What makes it original:
Simple, self-contained logic inspired by Smart Money Concepts (SMC).
