Liquidity Sentiment Profile [LuxAlgo]The Liquidity Sentiment Profile is an advanced charting tool that measures by combining PRICE and VOLUME data over specified anchored periods and highlights within a sequence of profiles the distribution of the liquidity and the market sentiment at specific price levels.
The Liquidity Sentiment Profile allows traders to reveal significant price levels, dominant market sentiment, support and resistance levels, supply and demand zones, liquidity availability levels, liquidity gaps, consolidation zones, and more based on price and volume data.
Liquidity refers to the availability of orders at specific price levels in the market, allowing transactions to occur smoothly.
🔶 USAGE
A Liquidity Sentiment Profile is a combination of a liquidity and a sentiment profile, where the right part of the profile displays the distribution of the traded activity at different price levels and the left part displays the market sentiment at those price levels.
The Liquidity Sentiment Profiles are visualized with different colors, where each color has a different meaning.
The Liquidity Sentiment Profiles aim to present Value Areas based on the significance of price levels, thus allowing users to identify value areas that can be formed more than once within the range of a single profile.
Level of Significance Line - displays the changes in the price levels with the highest traded activity (developing POC)
🔶 SETTINGS
The script takes into account user-defined parameters and plots the profiles, where detailed usage for each user-defined input parameter in indicator settings is provided with the related input's tooltip.

Liquidity Zones[Angel Algo]OVERVIEW
The "Liquidity Zones" indicator is a tool for traders to identify high and low liquidity areas on a chart. The indicator plots the highest and lowest volume levels within a rolling window of a specified period and calculates the corresponding price levels and zones at which those volumes occurred. The calculated areas represent key support and resistance levels in the market.
HOW TO USE
Once added, the indicator will plot the high and low liquidity zones on the chart based on the settings. Users can then adjust the indicator inputs to customize its behavior and appearance. Additionally, users can set up trading alerts based on the indicator's signals by clicking the "Create Alert" button in the alert section of the indicator's settings.
The bar coloring feature helps users identify trends and sideways market conditions. When this feature is enabled, the bars on the chart are colored based on their position relative to the highest volume levels calculated by the indicator. If a bar's closing price is above the zone, the bar is colored green. If the closing price is below the zone, the bar is colored red. If the closing price is between these two levels, the bar is colored blue.
This color-coding makes it easy to quickly identify periods of bullish or bearish momentum in the market. When the bars are mostly green, it suggests that buyers are in control and the market is in an uptrend. Conversely, when the bars are mostly red, it suggests that sellers are in control and the market is in a downtrend. The blue bars, on the other hand, indicate a sideways or consolidating market, where neither buyers nor sellers are clearly in control. These periods can be difficult to trade, as there is often a lack of clear direction in price movements.
When the Support/Resistance coloring feature is enabled, the indicator colors the high liquidity zones based on whether the opening and closing prices of the latest candle are above or below the zone. If the opening and closing prices are both above the high liquidity zone, the zone is colored green, indicating potential support. Conversely, if the opening and closing prices are both below the high liquidity zone, the zone is colored red, indicating potential resistance. If the opening and closing prices are inside the high liquidity zone, the zone is colored blue, indicating a neutral zone where price may continue to oscillate. This feature can help traders identify potential areas of support and resistance, and provide insights into market sentiment.
The indicator also includes trading alerts based on the position of the price relative to the highest volume zones. If the price goes above the zone, the indicator will trigger a bullish signal. If the price goes below the level, the indicator will trigger a bearish signal.
SETTINGS
The indicator has several customizable inputs that allow users to tailor its behavior to their preferences. These inputs include:
Period: The number of bars over which to calculate the highest and lowest volumes. The default value is 20. Recommended value range 10-500.
Bar coloring: Whether to color the bars based on their position relative to the high liquidity zones. The default value is false.
Support/Resistance coloring: Whether the high liquidity zone should be colorized depending on whether the price is above or below it. The default value is false.
Display high liquidity zones: Whether to display the high liquidity zones on the chart. The default value is true.
Display low liquidity levels: Whether to display the low liquidity levels on the chart. The default value is false.
Liquidity VisualizerThe "Liquidity Visualizer" indicator is designed to help traders visualize potential areas of liquidity on a price chart. In trading, liquidity often accumulates around key levels where market participants have placed their stop orders or pending orders. These levels are commonly found at significant highs and lows, where traders tend to set their stop-losses or take-profit orders. The indicator aims to highlight these areas by drawing unbroken lines that extend indefinitely until breached by the price action.
Specifically, this indicator identifies and marks pivot highs and pivot lows, which are price levels where a trend changes direction. When a pivot high or pivot low is formed, it is represented on the chart with a horizontal line that continues to extend until the price touches or surpasses that level. The line remains in place as long as the level remains unbroken, which means there is potential liquidity still resting at that level.
The concept behind this indicator is that liquidity is likely to be resting at unbroken pivot points. These levels are areas where stop-loss orders or pending buy/sell orders may have accumulated, making them attractive zones for large market participants, such as institutions, to target. By visualizing these unbroken levels, traders can gain insight into where liquidity might be concentrated and where potential price reversals or significant movements could occur as liquidity is taken out.
The indicator helps traders make more informed decisions by showing them key price levels that may attract significant market activity. For instance, if a trader sees multiple unbroken pivot high lines above the current price, they might infer that there is a cluster of liquidity in that area, which could lead to a price spike as those levels are breached. Similarly, unbroken pivot lows may indicate areas where downside liquidity is concentrated.
In summary, this indicator acts as a "liquidity visualizer," providing traders with a clear, visual representation of potential liquidity resting at significant pivot points. This information can be valuable for understanding where price might be drawn to, and where large movements might occur as liquidity is targeted and removed by market participants.
Liquidity Dependent Price Stability AlgorithmThe Liquidity Dependent Price Stability (LDPS) indicator is designed to measure liquidity levels on an equity and, from those measurements, provide Bullish or Bearish outlooks for future price action. These outlooks are given via reporting the equity's Liquidity Condition and Liquidity Flow.
Interpretation
Liquidity Condition (LC) and Liquidity Flow (LF) measurements are displayed with color-specific chart colors and/or with text output.
LC can be reported as "Weak Bullish", "Bullish", or "Strong Bullish" for Bullish outlooks and "Weak Bearish", "Bearish" or "Strong Bearish" for Bearish outlooks. LC can also just be reported as "Bullish" or "Bearish".
Bullish LCs have a statistical correlation with future price appreciation, and Bearish LCs have a statistical correlation with price depreciation. When LC is “Bullish”, the price is likely to go up, and if LC is “Bearish”, the price is likely to go down.
Liquidity Flow (LF) is a measure of how LC is changing. When LC is becoming more bullish, LF is reported as “Improving”. When LC is becoming more bearish, LF is reported as “Worsening”. LF is only displayed via text output.
Settings and Configurations
LDPS Sensitivity and Reactivity: Determines if you want LDPS to be more sensitive to changing conditions or less sensitive. This choice affects how certain LDPS is when forming its future outlooks. LDPS achieves this increase in sensitivity and reactivity by lowering the bar for what LDPS considers a significant change.
Aggressive : LDPS will optimize reporting early changes in LC and LF at the expensive of accuracy. Aggressive is good for low-risk trading styles that prefer to exit a position early rather than deal with increased risk of oppositional movement.
Balanced : LDPS will try to balance reporting changes in LC and LF with maintaining accuracy. Balanced style is a good setting to start out with and is applicable across the widest range of equity’s and timeframes.
Conservative : LDPS will optimize accuracy over being sensitive to changes in LC or LF. Conservative is a good choice for lower timeframes and traders who only want to change or exit positions with the greatest confidence.
LDPS Reporting Style: Determines how you want LC to be reported.
Simplified : LDPS will only report LC as “Bullish” or “Bearish”.
Full : LDPS will increase its reporting details and include the “Strong” and “Weak” pre-fixes, when appropriate.
LDPS Candle Coloring: There are three different ways that LC can be reported on the chart via coloring.
LDPS Candle Replacement: This will replace the chart’s default candles with those created by LDPS. Note: In order to see LDPS’ candles and not the chart’s, you have to disable to chart’s candles. This can be done in Settings -> Symbol and unchecking “Body”, “Borders” and “Wick” boxes.
LDPS Candle Coloring: This will just color the bodies of the chart’s default candles. Note: This setting should not have the chart’s candle’s disabled.
LDPS Background Coloring: This will color the chart’s background rather than any candles.
LDPS Text Output: LC and LF are reported via a text box that can be moved several places on the chart, or the text box can be removed.
LDPS Measurements – Display: When selected, LC and LF will be reported via the text box.
LDPS Measurement – Text Location: Determines where the text box with LC and LF are located.
LDPS Measurement – Text Size: Determines the size of LC and LF within the text box.
LDPS Measurement – Background Color: Determines the background color of the text box with LC and LF.
LDPS Condition Color Selection – Bullish / Bearish: Color selection for each type of LC. Note: If the Simplified reporting style is selected, the “Full Bullish” and “Full Bearish” are the bullish and bearish color choices, respectively.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Where can I get additional Information?
Please check the “Author’s Instructions” section below.
Where can I find the results of the LDPS research?
Please check the “Author’s Instructions” section below.
Help! Something’s not working!
Apologies. Please see the email listed in “Author’s Instructions” below and let’s get started on solving the issue.
Which Sensitivity setting should I use?
The author’s preference is Conservative in most cases, but the answer for you depends on your preferred style.
An analogy might help: the aggressive setting will ensure LDPS is early to the party – every party. Of the parties that really kick off, you can be certain LDPS is there, but they had to visit a several of parties before finding the right one.
The Conservative setting won’t bring LDPS to every party – it will gladly stay at the one it’s at but when it detects the next real big hit, LDPS will move to that party instead. It won’t be the first one there, but it is definitely earlier than most.
Should I use the Full or Simplified reporting style?
Depending on how engaged you are with the particular equity or position, either choice can be beneficial. The Full reporting style will let you detect changes in LC before they might show with the Simplified reporting style. Some enjoy the additional data, some (like the Author) enjoy keeping things simple.
I can see LDPS’ colors in the chart’s candlesticks when the settings are open, but not when the settings are closed. How come?
If you are using the “LDPS Candle Replacement” setting, be sure to turn off the Chart’s default candles by right-clicking on the chart, going to Settings, then Symbol and then un-checking “Body”, “Border” and “Wick”. This should fix the issue.
I think there’s a bug – where do I report it?

Liquidity Sweeps and RaidsThis basic script calculates and plots runs on liquidity levels through Raids and Sweeps. When the price violates the 3 fractal level, a raid or sweep occurs. You can use it to automate markup, understand liquidity levels, and reduce human error in your analysis. Additionally, you can set up an alarm to notify you when new sweeps or raids occur. Combine it with your current strategy or try any price action theory you prefer. Essentially, the price always seeks liquidity, so when some of it is taken, it makes sense to look for a reaction and potential reversal. Stay ahead by capitalizing on liquidity insights for potential reversals. Cheers, Cancamurria.
Liquidity and SFPThis tool prints fractal high & lows (triangles) illustrating probably points of liquidity & Williams method.
If the liquidity points have been run, there will be a line print, when they have not been run there will still be a single triangle print without a line.
If the liquidity is run and then the candle closes above we print a checkmark to demo that it is likely that this was a stop run to generate liquidity for bigger market participants. This can help with entry identification if this is a method you deploy.
This indicator is available as part of membership at at decentrader.com
Liquidity stop huntThis tool identifies key liquidity zones where stop hunts are likely to occur.
**How it works:**
- Detects swing highs/lows on your selected timeframe.
- Marks levels where "liquidity sweeps" (fakeouts) often happen.
- Plots these zones as dotted lines for visual reference.
**How to use:**
1. Look for price rejections near marked levels.
2. Avoid placing stops too close to obvious liquidity zones.
3. Combine with price action for confirmation.
**Settings:**
- Timeframe: Choose the historical period for analysis (e.g., 1D, 1W).
- Sweep Type: "Wick Only" for precise tails, "Regular" for all breaks.
- Colors/Style: Customize appearance.
Note: Works best in trending markets. Not a standalone strategy — always confirm with additional analysis.
Liquidity Sweep Detector – PDH/PDL LevelsPrevious Day High/Low Liquidity Sweep Detector (Intraday Accurate)
This indicator tracks the previous day's high and low using intraday data, rather than the daily candle, ensuring precise sweep detection across lower timeframes (15m to 4H).
It monitors for liquidity sweeps—moments when price briefly moves above the previous high or below the previous low—and visually marks these events on the chart.
Key Features
Intraday-accurate PDH/PDL tracking
Real-time sweep detection
On-chart labels marking sweep events
Toggleable table showing sweep status
Alert conditions for PDH/PDL sweep triggers
Best For
Traders who use Smart Money Concepts (SMC), liquidity-based strategies, or look for stop hunts and reversal zones tied to key prior-day levels.
Works well across FX, crypto, and indices on 15m, 1H, and 4H charts.
Liquidity Fracture DetectorThe Liquidity Fracture Detector is an advanced tool designed to identify micro-liquidity traps and structural fakeouts on intraday charts. These occur when the market appears to break out, only to quickly reverse — often triggered by stop hunts, inefficient fills, or manipulated order flow.
The script combines volume spikes, volatility anomalies, and price structure breaks to signal "fractures" — points where the market temporarily breaks its behavior, often followed by strong reversals or trend accelerations.
Detection logic in the script:
Volume spike greater than 2x the average (adjustable)
Volatility spike: candle range is > 1.5x the average
Extreme wicks: wick is larger than the candle body (a classic trap signal)
Structure break: price breaks previous high/low but closes back within the old range
Combine these elements → a “fracture” is marked
Visual representation:
Red background = potential bull trap (fake breakout to the upside)
Green background = potential bear trap (fake breakdown to the downside)
A label appears at each fracture: “Echo” with the number of previous hits
Ideal use cases:
Intraday trading (1m, 5m, 15m)
Crypto, indices, futures, and forex
Detecting reactive zones where the market takes a false direction
Confluence with S/R zones, order blocks, or liquidity pools
Fully customizable:
Volume and range sensitivity
Heatmap intensity
Toggle labels on/off
Note:
This script is intended to support discretionary analysis. It does not provide buy or sell signals and is not an automated strategy. Combine it with your own price action or order flow setup for optimal results.
Liquidity Stress Index SOFR - IORBLiquidity Stress Index (SOFR - IORB)
This indicator tracks the spread between the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) and the Interest on Reserve Balances (IORB) set by the Federal Reserve.
A persistently positive spread may indicate funding stress or liquidity shortages in the repo market, as it suggests overnight lending rates exceed the risk-free rate banks earn at the Fed.
Useful for monitoring monetary policy transmission or market/liquidity stress.
Liquidity Proxy : ChinaThis is based on the 'Global Liquidity Proxy' as defined by Darius Dale.
GLP is comprised of:
* Central bank balance sheet
* Narrow money supply
* Foreign exchange reserves minus gold
This is an approximation based on the description above.
This indicator shows the global liquidity proxy for China.
The model, in terms of TradingView symbols is:
YoY change % of
CNCBBS + CNM1 + CNFER - CNGRES
The chart doesn't exactly match what Darius shows so his model is likely somewhat different.
RED : China liquidity index
GREEN : SSE composite index YoY change %
Liquidity Trendline With Signals [BigBeluga]The Liquidity Trendline is an indicator designed to identify potential breakouts by utilizing pivot points. These pivotal moments can trigger significant market reactions, either by breaking out or by serving as breakout and retest signals.
🔶 FEATURES
The indicator contains the following features:
Period of the calculation
Padding (spacing between the 2 lines)
Signal for breakouts
🔶 USAGE
As shown in the example, breakouts can be powerful points to see reversions in the market and can lead to a lot of volatility in the market.
When a trendline is broken, a signal will be plotted; the user can disable/enable those signals.
A trendline is formed when 2 consecutive pivot points are found, each of them lower or higher than the previous one. this is the anchor point for our trend line that we will use to spot rejection or breakouts
The delay in the creation of those trend lines will be the period input used to find the pivot point on the chart.
Another good example is using these trendlines as simple retests.
Prices bouncing on top of them will suggest a possible continuation of the current trend.
We can filter out stronger breakouts by looking at how many times the price has rejected the trendline, more rejections will result in more liquidity once the price breaks it.
Signals are plotted on the chart for every breakout that happens.
Another good utility is simply using them as retest once the price breaks those levels and holding above/below them, indicating a possible support or resistance area used for confluence
Here is another good example of how we can correctly spot price deviating from our trendline and spotting powerful continuation in price.
As said before we can filter out bad and good breakouts simply by looking at how many times rejected from those levels.
More rejection will result in a stronger reaction
🔶 CONCLUSION
This script is as simple as that and can be used in a few ways to spot reversals, price continuation, or even sentiment in price (bullish or bearish).
Liquidity Candles with Prev Day High/Low and Midnight OpenAlright, let's talk about how to use this fancy indicator. But first, let me warn you, using indicators is like driving a car, you can't just press the gas pedal and hope for the best. You need to know what you're doing, or else you'll crash and burn faster than a soufflé in a microwave.
Now, let's get started. The first thing you need to do is understand what this indicator is telling you. Think of it like a signalman at a train station. He's waving flags and giving hand signals to tell you whether it's safe to proceed or if you need to stop and wait. This indicator works the same way.
It's going to give you signals based on price movements, telling you whether it's safe to buy or sell. But don't get too excited, my friend. You still need to use your brain and make smart decisions. Don't just blindly follow the signals, or else you'll end up like a sheep being led to the slaughter.
Now, let's talk about some of ICT's smart money trading concepts. First up, we have "liquidity grabs". This is when the big boys in the market create false breakouts to shake out the weak hands. They're like school bullies stealing lunch money from the little kids. But you can avoid being a victim by watching for signs of a liquidity grab, and using your brain to decide whether it's a real breakout or just a trap.
Next up, we have "stop runs". This is when the big players purposely trigger stop-loss orders to get a better entry or exit. It's like a game of chicken, but with your money on the line. To avoid being run over, keep an eye on your stop-loss orders, and don't be too predictable in your trading.
Finally, we have "market structure". This is like the blueprint of the market, showing you where the support and resistance levels are. It's like a treasure map to finding the best trades. But don't forget that market structure can change over time, so keep updating your map and stay ahead of the game.
So there you have it, my friend. A quick tutorial on using this indicator, with a side of ICT's smart money trading concepts. But remember, indicators are just tools, and you're the one driving the car. Use your brain, stay alert, and don't be a sheep. Happy trading!

Liquidity RaidsA raid/sweep occurs when price takes out a previous high/low i.e., price sweeps a level, grabs liquidity and reverses. When this occurs in higher time frames (HTF) like 1h, 4h, daily, etc., there's a greater chance for minor/major reversal/pullback in lower time frames (LTF). For clarification, this is not my concept - ICT students and price action traders call it "liquidity grab", some call it "stop hunt", some call it "evil market maker", etc. There are some indicators which plot this already, but none of them have what I need (multi-timeframe support and filtering swing points).
Typically, we look for raids in HTF, which is set to the timeframe parameter of the indicator. Then, we go into LTF for execution, and we'll see HTF raids plotted there (which greatly eases backtesting and execution). We can also check "filter swing points" to only show raids of swing points (3-candle pattern).
The above chart shows this indicator in action (1m chart showing raids from 15m with swing point filter enabled).
This indicator also supports setting alerts for raids.
Math by Thomas Liquidity PoolDescription
Math by Thomas Liquidity Pool is a TradingView indicator designed to visually identify potential liquidity pools on the chart by detecting areas where price forms clusters of equal highs or equal lows.
Bullish Liquidity Pools (Green Boxes): Marked below price where two adjacent candles have similar lows within a specified difference, indicating potential demand zones or stop loss clusters below support.
Bearish Liquidity Pools (Red Boxes): Marked above price where two adjacent candles have similar highs within the difference threshold, indicating potential supply zones or stop loss clusters above resistance.
This tool helps traders spot areas where smart money might hunt stop losses or where price is likely to react, providing valuable insight for trade entries, exits, and risk management.
Features:
Adjustable box height (vertical range) in points.
Adjustable maximum difference threshold between candle highs/lows to consider them equal.
Boxes automatically extend forward for visibility and delete when price sweeps through or after a defined lifetime.
Separate visual zones for bullish and bearish liquidity with customizable colors.
How to Use
Add the Indicator to your chart (preferably on instruments like Nifty where point-based thresholds are meaningful).
Adjust Inputs:
Box Height: Set the vertical size of the liquidity zones (default 15 points).
Max Difference Between Highs/Lows: Set the max price difference to consider two candle highs or lows as “equal” (default 10 points).
Box Lifetime: How many bars the box stays visible if not swept (default 120 bars).
Interpret Boxes:
Green Boxes (Bullish Liquidity Pools): Areas of potential demand and stop loss clusters below price. Watch for price bounces or accumulation near these zones.
Red Boxes (Bearish Liquidity Pools): Areas of potential supply and stop loss clusters above price. Watch for price rejections or distribution near these zones.
Trading Strategy Tips:
Use these zones to anticipate where stop loss hunting or liquidity sweeps may occur.
Combine with your Order Block, Fair Value Gap, and Market Structure tools for higher probability setups.
Manage risk by avoiding entries into price regions just before large liquidity pools get swept.
Automatic Cleanup:
Boxes delete automatically once price breaks above (for bearish zones) or below (for bullish zones) the zone or after the set lifetime.
Dynamic Liquidity Depth [BigBeluga]
Dynamic Liquidity Depth
A liquidity mapping engine that reveals hidden zones of market vulnerability. This tool simulates where potential large concentrations of stop-losses may exist — above recent highs (sell-side) and below recent lows (buy-side) — by analyzing real price behavior and directional volume. The result is a dynamic two-sided volume profile that highlights where price is most likely to gravitate during liquidation events, reversals, or engineered stop hunts.
🔵 KEY FEATURES
Two-Sided Liquidity Profiles:
Plots two separate profiles on the chart — one above price for potential sell-side liquidity , and one below price for potential buy-side liquidity . Each profile reflects the volume distribution across binned zones derived from historical highs and lows.
Real Stop Zone Simulation:
Each profile is offset from the current high or low using an ATR-based buffer. This simulates where traders might cluster their stop-losses above swing highs (short stops) or below swing lows (long stops).
Directional Volume Analysis:
Buy-side volume is accumulated only from bullish candles (close > open), while sell-side volume is accumulated only from bearish candles (close < open). This directional filtering enhances accuracy by capturing genuine pressure zones.
Dynamic Volume Heatmap:
Each liquidity bin is rendered as a horizontal box with a color gradient based on volume intensity:
- Low activity bins are shaded lightly.
- High-volume zones appear more vividly in red (sell) or lime (buy).
- The maximum volume bin in each profile is emphasized with a brighter fill and a volume label.
Extended POC Zones:
The Point of Control (PoC) — the bin with the most volume — is extended backwards across the entire lookback period to mark critical resistance (sell-side) or support (buy-side) levels.
Total Volume Summary Labels:
At the center of each profile, a summary label displays Total Buy Liquidity and Total Sell Liquidity volume.
This metric helps assess directional imbalance — when buy liquidity is dominant, the market may favor upward continuation, and vice versa.
Customizable Profile Granularity:
You can fine-tune both Resolution (Bins) and Offset Distance to adjust how far profiles are displaced from price and how many levels are calculated within the ATR range.
🔵 HOW IT WORKS
The indicator calculates an ATR-based buffer above highs and below lows to define the top and bottom of the liquidity zones.
Using a user-defined lookback period, it scans historical candles and divides the buffered zones into bins.
Each bin checks if bullish (or bearish) candles pass through it based on price wicks and body.
Volume from valid candles is summed into the corresponding bin.
When volume exists in a bin, a horizontal box is drawn with a width scaled by relative volume strength.
The bin with the highest volume is highlighted and optionally extended backward as a zone of importance.
Total buy/sell liquidity is displayed with a summary label at the side of the profile.
🔵 USAGE/b]
Identify Stop Hunt Zones: High-volume clusters near swing highs/lows are likely liquidation zones targeted during fakeouts.
Fade or Follow Reactions: Price hitting a high-volume bin may reverse (fade opportunity) or break with strength (confirmation breakout).
Layer with Other Tools: Combine with market structure, order blocks, or trend filters to validate entries near liquidity.
Adjust Offset for Sensitivity: Use higher offset to simulate wider stop placement; use lower for tighter scalping zones.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Dynamic Liquidity Depth transforms raw price and volume into a spatial map of liquidity. By revealing areas where stop orders are likely hidden, it gives traders insight into price manipulation zones, potential reversal levels, and breakout traps. Whether you're hunting for traps or trading with the flow, this tool equips you to navigate liquidity with precision.
Buyside/Sellside Liquidity [Real-Time] (Expo)█ Overview
Buyside/Sellside Liquidity (Expo) is an indicator that identifies buy-side and sell-side liquidity in real time. Buy-side liquidity represents a level on the chart where short sellers will have their stops positioned. Sell-side liquidity represents a level on the chart where long-buyers will place their stops. These levels are found in areas where traders are "proven wrong" and, therefore, want to get out of their trades. Smart money will accumulate or distribute positions near these levels where many stops are placed and absorb all provided liquidity.
█ What is Buy-side and Sell-side liquidity?
Liquidity is the ability of a market to absorb large orders without significantly affecting the asset's price. Buy-side liquidity refers to the ability of buyers to buy large amounts of contracts without significantly affecting the price. Sell-side liquidity refers to the ability of sellers to sell large amounts of contracts without significantly affecting the price. This type of liquidity is important for large institutional investors, such as hedge funds and investment banks, who need to buy/sell large amounts of contracts without significantly affecting the price.
█ How to use
The price will always seek liquidity to either reverse or continue in the current move.
Reversals
Reversals are common around these levels since many traders are forced to close their positions, pushing the price in the other direction. Look for price actions that confirm a reversal around those levels.
Continuations
Liquidity is also a must for a trend to continue. If the price pushes through the liquidity levels and the current order flow structure is intact, traders should look for a continuation setup.
Inducement
Inducement is the act where smart money manipulates the price to access liquidity. Buy-side and Sell-side liquidity levels can be used to identify potential areas of inducement.

ICT Setup 01 [TradingFinder] FVG + Liquidity Sweeps/Hunt Alerts🔵 Introduction
The ICT (Inner Circle Trader) style of trading involves analyzing the behavior of market participants and market makers to identify areas where fake buy and sell activities occur. This trading style helps retail traders align with market maker behavior and avoid falling into market traps.
A key aspect of the ICT strategy is focusing on liquidity hunts. This involves searching for trading opportunities in areas of the market with low liquidity or where other traders have little activity. The ICT method leverages market inefficiencies and weaknesses, allowing traders to profit from small price movements that might go unnoticed by others.
In "ICT Setup 01," our focus is on these liquidity areas and stop hunts that form in Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). Trading within FVGs, combined with confirmations from "Hunts" and "Sweeps," can enhance trader performance.
🔵 How to Use
The presence of Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) in the market indicates rapid, powerful movements likely caused by the influx of smart money. When the price returns to these levels, a market reaction is expected.
Combining this with the complex and deceptive behavior of smart money—such as "Liquidity Sweeps" and "Stop Hunts"—forms an ICT-based price action setup that we expect to perform well.
Components of "ICT Setup 01" :
● Fair Value Gap (FVG)
● Premium and Discount
● Hunts / Sweeps
Whenever the price returns to an FVG area and reacts in such a way that only the wicks of the candles remain in the area and the candle bodies are outside the FVG, the first condition for creating the setup is met.
If subsequent candles hunt the wick that has penetrated the deepest into the FVG, a buy or sell signal is issued. In the format where hunting is based on Sweeps, penetrations that extend even outside the area are considered signals, provided they do not form a body within the area.
Additionally, a refining system exists for cases where a candle body forms in the area, optimizing the proximal levels of the FVG.

🔵 Features and Settings of "ICT Setup 01"
You can Find out more in Setting :
● FVG Detector Multiplier Factor
● FVG Validity Period
● Level in Low-Risk Zone
● Issuing Signals Method
● Number of Signals Allowed from a Zone
● Signal after Hunts/Sweeps
● How Many Hunts/Sweeps
● Show or Hide
● Alert Sender
FVG Detector Multiplier Factor :
This feature allows you to determine the size of the moves forming the FVGs based on the ATR (Average True Range). The default value is 1 to identify the majority of setups. You can increase this value according to the symbol and market you are trading in to achieve better results.
FVG Validity Period :
This shows the validity period of an FVG based on the number of candles. By default, an FVG area is valid for up to 15 candles. However, you can increase or decrease this period.
Level in Low-Risk Zone :
This feature helps reduce your risk. The method works by identifying the entire length of the three candles forming the FVG and dividing it into two equal areas. The upper area is "Premium," and the lower area is "Discount." To reduce risk, it is better for "Demand FVG" to be in the "Discount" and "Supply FVG" in the "Premium." This feature is off by default.
Issuing Signals Method :
This feature allows you to specify whether the hunt should occur only within the FVG area or if the wicks can extend outside the area.
If set to "Hunts," only signals where the wicks are within the area are issued, and the area loses its validity if the wicks extend outside.
In "Sweeps" mode, wicks can extend outside the area as long as they do not form a body within the area.
Number of Signals Allowed from a Zone :
This feature allows you to specify how many valid signals can be issued from one area.
Signal after Hunts/Sweeps :
In markets or symbols with a tendency for frequent stop hunts, this feature allows you to specify how many hunts should occur before you receive a signal to avoid receiving potentially failed signals.
How Many Hunts/Sweeps :
Enter the number of hunts you want to set for the "Signal after Hunts/Sweeps" feature here.
Show or Hide :
The number of setups formed may be very large, and displaying all of them on the chart can be distracting and messy. By default, only the last setup is displayed, but if you want to see all setups, you can turn on the relevant options.
Alert Sender :
You cannot constantly monitor multiple charts to identify trading opportunities. Using the alert sending feature can save time and improve performance.
Alerts Name : Customize the alert name to your preference.
Message Frequency : Determines the frequency of alert messages. Options include 'All' (triggers every time the function is called), 'Once Per Bar' (triggers only on the first call within the bar), and 'Once Per Bar Close' (triggers only on the final script execution of the real-time bar upon closure). The default is 'Once per Bar.'
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : Configure the alert messages to reflect any chosen time zone. For instance, input 'UTC+1' for London time. The default is 'UTC.'
By configuring these settings, traders can effectively utilize ICT setups to improve their trading strategies and outcomes.
ICT HTF Liquidity Levels /w Alert [MsF]Japanese below / 日本語説明は英文の後にあります。
-------------------------
*This indicator is based on sbtnc's "HTF Liquidity Levels". It's a very cool indicator. thank you.
It has 3 functions: visualization of HTF liquidity (with alert), candle color change when displacement occurs, and MSB (market structure break) line display.
=== Function description ===
1. HTF liquidity (with alert)
Lines visualize the liquidity pools on the HTF bars. Alerts can be set for each TF's line.
Once the price reaches the line, the line is repaint.
To put it plainly, the old line disappears and a new line appears. The line that disappeared remains as a purged line. (It is also possible to hide the purged line with a parameter)
The alert will be triggered at the moment the line disappears. An alert will be issued when you touch the HTF's liquid pools where the loss is accumulated, so you can notice the stop hunting with the alert.
This alert is an original feature of this indicator.
The timeframe of the HTF can't modify. You can get Monthly, weekly, daily and H1 and H4.
Each timeframe displays the 3 most recent lines. By narrowing it down to 3, it is devised to make it easier to see visually. (This indicator original)
2. Displacement
Change the color display of the candlesticks when a bullish candle stick or bearish candle stick is attached. Furthermore, by enabling the "Require FVG" option, you can easily discover the FVG (Fair Value Gap). It is a very useful function for ICT trading.
3. MSB (market structure break)
Displays High/Low lines for the period specified by the parameter. It is useful for discovering BoS & CHoCH/MSS, which are important in ICT trading.
=== Parameter description ===

Institutional FVG & Liquidity Range Candle (Expo)█ Institutional FVG with predicted SR levels & Liquidity Range Candle is an indicator that uses Smart Money Concepts to give you the insights needed to make informed decisions based on the theory in SMC. This premium toolkit work in any market and timeframe.
█ Institutional Fair Value Gap , also known as imbalance, inefficiencies, and Liquidity void, identifies the most significant FVG within the lookback period. This is often referred to as Institutional Fair Value Gap since only big players can cause these liquidity voids.
Fair Value Gap, Liquidity voids are sudden price changes without enough liquidity at a stable price, and the price jumps from the originating price level to the final price level, creating an imbalance in price.
The price tends to fill or retest the FVG area, and traders understand at which price level institutional players have been active. FVG is a valuable concept in trading, as they provide insights about where many orders were injected, creating this inefficiency in the market. The price tends to restore the balance.
This indicator highlights the most significant Fair Value Gap on the chart and plots predicted future support and resistance levels based on the price action created at the FVG. A super simple and yet effective way to get solid market levels that acts as a magnet for the price.
█ Liquidity Range Candle is another trading concept used by large market players where they manipulate the price to stay inside a specific market area, creating a tight consolidation zone. Once the price breaks the liquidity range, liquidity flows into the market. It's an easy way to grab liquidity from retail traders. Stop losses are triggers, breakout traders jump into the market, and institutional traders absorb the liquidity.
If you don't see the liquidity, you become the liquidity!
A break of a liquidity range is a sign of a breakout, potential continuation, retracement, or reversal. Use it together with an overall market analysis. It's common that traders also mark the previous 1-3 liquidity ranges and plot them into the future. These zones can act as a future magnet for the price, and we can get a retest of the zones, or if we break above/below a previous range can be a sign of a trend change. We also know that these liquidity ranges have been important levels for institutional players, who may be willing to accumulate or distribute more orders at these levels.
█ HOW TO USE
Use the indicator to identify several important and commonly used trading concepts taught within the SMC.
