Bars Since EMA OverlayCounts number of bars since an EMA Touch or an EMA cross with close and shades the area when a threshold is exceeded. Currently supported for 3 thresholds.
TQ's Support & Resistance(My goal creating this indicator): Provide a way to categorize and label key structures on multiple different levels so I can create a plan based on those observable facts.
The Underlying Concept / What is Momentum?
Momentum indicates transaction pressure. If the algorithm detects price is going up, that would be considered positive momentum. If the algorithm detects price is going down negative momentum would be detected.
The Momentum shown is derived from a price action pattern. Unlike my previous Support & Resistance indicator that used Super Trend, this indicator uses a unique pattern I created. On the first bar bearish momentum is detected a resistance Level is made at the highest point of the previous bullish condition. On the first bar bullish momentum is detected a support Level is made at the lowest point of the previous bearish condition. This happens on 5 different Momentum Levels, (short-term to long-term). I currently use this pattern to trade so the source code is protected.
What is Severity?
Severity is How we differentiate the importance of different Highs and Lows. If Momentum is detected on a higher level the Supply or Demand Level is updated. The Color and Size representing that Level will be shown. Demand and Supply Levels made by higher levels are more SEVERE than a demand level made by a lower level.
Technical Inputs
- to ensure the correct calculation of Support and Resistance levels change BAR_INDEX. BAR_INDEX creates a buffer at the start of the chart. For example: If you set BAR_INDEX to 300. The script will wait for 300 bars to elapse on the current chart before running. This allows the script more time to gather data. Which is needed in order for our dynamic lookback length to never return an error (Dynamic lookback length can't be negative or zero). The lower the timeframe the greater the number of bars need. For Example, if I open up a 1min chart I would enter 5000 as my BAR_INDEX since that will provide enough data to ensure the correct calculation of Support and Resistance levels. If I was on a daily chart, I would enter a lower number such as 800. Don't be afraid to play around with this.
- Toggle options (Close) or (High & Low) creates Support and Resistance Levels using the Lowest close and Highest close or using the Lowest low and Highest high.
Level Inputs
- The indicator has 5 Different Levels indicating SEVEREITY of a Supply and Demand Levels. The higher the Level the more SEVERE the Level.
Display Inputs
- You have the option to customize the Length, Width, Line Style, and Colors of all 5 different
- This indicator includes a Trend Chart. To Easily verify the current trend of any displayed by this indicator toggle on Chart On/Off. You also get the option to change the Chart Position and the size of the Trend Chart
How Trend Is being Determined?
(Close > Current Supply Level) if this statement is true technically price made a HH, so the trend is bullish.
(Close < Current Demand Level) if this statement is true technically price made a LL, so the trend is bearish.
- Fully customize how you display Market Structure on different levels. Line Length, Line Width, Line Style, and Line color can all be customized.

Delta Magnet Zone Extended – Selective HideLiquidity Zone Reversal — Description 🔍📊
This indicator automatically identifies liquidity zones where price previously grabbed orders, swept highs/lows, or created strong reaction points. Instead of plotting thin lines, this version converts those levels into zones, giving traders a clearer view of where the market has unfinished business and where future reactions are likely to occur.
These zones act as institutional magnets — areas where liquidity providers, algos, and larger players commonly enter or exit positions.
How It Works ⚙️💡
The script scans recent price action and detects local swing highs and lows. It then builds rectangular liquidity zones around these levels, extending them forward so you can see:
🟥 Bearish liquidity sweep zones
🟩 Bullish liquidity sweep zones
🔁 Areas where price previously failed, rejected, or consolidated
🎯 Potential reversal targets on both sides of the market
These zones update automatically as new structure forms, giving you an always-current map of market memory.
Why the 9-Day Look-Back Is Powerful (My Default) 📅✨
I personally keep the look-back set to 9 days by default because:
✔️ It captures the entire previous trading week
✔️ It maps out where SPY/QQQ/ES has already tapped liquidity
✔️ It shows the true zones institutions defended
✔️ It reveals where price is most likely to react again moving forward
Using a 9-day window gives you a clean, high-signal map of:
Last week’s highs & lows
Prior liquidity sweeps
Rejection zones
Imbalance cleanup levels
This keeps the chart minimal, powerful, and hyper-relevant to current order flow.
How Traders Use These Zones 🎯📈
Here are the most common ways traders use these liquidity zones:
1️⃣ Identify High-Probability Reversal Areas 🔄
Price often reacts strongly when returning to a past liquidity zone — especially if it previously swept stops there.
2️⃣ Confirm Breakouts or Failures 🚪➡️
Break above a bearish zone?
Momentum continuation is likely.
Reject inside a zone?
Reversal or range expansion often follows.
3️⃣ Set Targets & Stop Placement 🎯🛡️
Zones give logical:
Profit targets
Trend exhaustion points
Areas to avoid entering new trades
4️⃣ Time 0DTE Scalps With Precision ⚡
Liquidity zones tighten your expectations for:
Where SPY/QQQ will bounce
Where reversals start
Where liquidity magnets pull price by end of day
Why This Indicator Matters 🧠🔥
Liquidity drives markets.
Not indicators.
Not moving averages.
Not random levels.
This tool shows you where actual orders exist, where they were previously swept, and where institutions are most likely to step in again.
It gives you:
Cleaner charts
Higher confidence
Better strike selection
More precise entries
Stronger exits
All without noise.
Directional Pressure (maybexo)Liquidity Candles, observed in financial markets, display distinctive candlestick patterns that are noteworthy. These candles exhibit intentional price behavior aimed at triggering stop-loss orders and momentarily misleading traders. The pattern typically starts with a price movement against the current trend, activating stop-loss orders and capitalizing on liquidity from traders anticipating the prevailing trend. Subsequently, the price swiftly changes course, breaking and conclusively closing beyond the prior candle's range, often surprising unsuspecting traders.
Characteristics:
1. Liquidity Grab:
- Liquidity Candles initiate with a deliberate move against the existing trend, aimed at triggering stop-loss orders and gathering liquidity from traders who have placed stops in anticipation of the initial trend.
- Notably, the size of the wick in this liquidity grab is significant; a larger wick indicates a more substantial liquidity grab and can strengthen the indication of a potential market reversal.
2. Swift Reversal and Breakout:
- Following the liquidity grab, the price swiftly changes direction, breaking and conclusively closing above or below the previous candle's range.
3. Institutional Behavior:
- These candles are often linked to institutional trading behavior, suggesting potential involvement by significant market participants due to their distinct and deliberate price action.
// Diamonds
1. RSI Diamonds:
The RSI Diamonds represent RSI entering either overbought or oversold levels.
These Diamonds serve as an early indication for "Spooky Diamonds" as Spooky Diamonds can only form in these conditions
2. Spooky Diamonds:
The Spooky Diamonds highlight specific candle conditions, aiding in the identification of bullish or bearish momentum in the market while considering the RSI status.
Bullish Candle Momentum: The candle size is greater than the previous candle multiplied by a user-defined factor (filterMultiplier) and the closing price is higher than the opening price. This can suggest bullish momentum.
Bearish Candle Momentum: The candle size is greater than the previous candle multiplied by the filterMultiplier, and the closing price is lower than the opening price. This can suggest bearish momentum.
Important Notes:
The Candles + Diamonds should not be used in isolation as buy or sell signals but rather as additional information for your trading strategy.
The goal of this indicator is to provide a visual representation of RSI data and potential momentum during overbought or oversold conditions.
By utilizing the diamonds and candles, you can easily identify RSI levels and their interaction with candles, aiding in decision-making within your trading strategy.
Disclaimer: Always consider your risk tolerance and conduct thorough analysis before making any trading decisions.

🧠 Rogue BTC Dominance + BTC Price MonitorLiquidity never lies.
When whales are done pumping, they exit before price tanks, often during sideways chop or fake strength.
So we build a tracker that detects:
Volume drop during uptrend (distribution phase)
Exchange inflows of coins
Rising USDT.D while price holds → stealth exit
Divergence between price & on-chain flows
👁️ Quick Use Case: BTC/USDT with USDT.D Overlay
If you see this pattern:
BTC sideways or slow uptrend
Volume declining
USDT.D rising
BTC.D holding flat
→ Liquidity Exit Detected.
Smart money is exiting quietly, waiting for retail to hold the bag.

Volume-Weighted Price MovementThe Volume-Weighted Price Movement (VWPM) indicator is an easy to read technical analysis tool that analyses how volume and price movement work together to drive market momentum.
How It Works
The VWPM indicator tracks two primary components:
Bullish Movement (green line): Measures the upward price movement weighted by volume. When price closes above the open, this component calculates how much buying pressure exists by multiplying the price change (close - open) by the volume of that period.
Bearish Movement (red line): Measures the downward price movement weighted by volume. When price closes below the open, this component calculates how much selling pressure exists by multiplying the price change (open - close) by the volume of that period.
Bull-Bear Difference (lime/orange line): Shows the net momentum by subtracting bearish movement from bullish movement, providing an at-a-glance view of which force is dominant.
The VWPM integrates volume data to identify whether price movements are backed by significant participation. A large price move with low volume carries less weight than the same move with high volume, providing a more accurate reflection of market strength.
A shorter lookback period makes the indicator more responsive to recent price action, while a longer period smooths out market noise for trend identification.
Interpretation
Bullish Signals
When the green line (bull movement) rises and stays above the red line
When the Bull-Bear Difference line crosses above zero and maintains positive momentum
Divergence between price making lower lows but the bull line making higher lows (hidden strength)
Bearish Signals
When the red line (bear movement) rises and stays above the green line
When the Bull-Bear Difference line crosses below zero and maintains negative momentum
Divergence between price making higher highs but the bull line making lower highs (hidden weakness)

Liquidity Levels [LuxAlgo]The Peak Activity Levels indicator displays support and resistance levels from prices accompanied by significant volume. The indicator includes a histogram returning the frequency of closing prices falling between two parallel levels, each bin shows the number of bullish candles within the levels.
1. Settings
Length: Lookback for the detection of volume peaks.
Number Of Levels: Determines the number of levels to display.
Levels Color Mode: Determines how the levels should be colored. "Relative" will color the levels based on their location relative to the current price. "Random" will apply a random color to each level. "Fixed" will use a single color for each level.
Levels Style: Style of the displayed levels. Styles include solid, dashed, and dotted.
1.1 Histogram
Show Histogram: Determines whether to display the histogram or not.
Histogram Window: Lookback period of the histogram calculation.
Bins Colors: Control the color of the histogram bins.
2. Usage
The indicator can be used to display ready-to-use support and resistance. These are constructed from peaks in volume. When a peak occurs, we take the price where this peak occurred and use it as the value for our level.
If one of the levels was previously tested, we can hypothesize that the level might be used as support/resistance in the future. Additional analysis using volume can be done in order to confirm a potential bounce.
The histogram can return various information to the user. It can show if the price stayed within two levels for a long time and if the price within two levels was mostly made of bullish or bearish candles.
In the chart above, we can see that over the most recent 200 bars (determined by Histogram Window) 68 closing prices fall between levels A and B, with 27 bars being bullish.
Additionally, the width of a bin and its length can sometimes give information about the volatility of a specific price variation. If a bin is very wide but short (a low number of closing prices fallen within the levels) then we can conclude a most of the movement was done on a short amount of time.
Titan VSA + SMC Prime (Professional Institutional System)Titan VSA + SMC Prime is a comprehensive, hybrid trading system designed to bridge the gap between Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) and Smart Money Concepts (SMC) By Sultan of Multan. This script is built for traders who want to identify institutional activity, spot liquidity traps, and trade in harmony with the "Smart Money."
Unlike standard indicators that repaint or lag, Titan Prime focuses on price action, structural shifts, and volume anomalies to generate high-probability setups.
🔥 Key Features
1. Smart Money Concepts (SMC) Suite
Market Structure: Automatically maps BOS (Break of Structure) and CHoCH (Change of Character) with real-time trend identification (Bullish/Bearish).
Institutional Zones: clearly plots Order Blocks (OB), Breaker Blocks (BB), Fair Value Gaps (FVG), and Supply/Demand Zones.
Mitigation Tracking: Zones are automatically marked as "Mitigated" or removed once price has tested them, keeping your chart clean.
Premium & Discount Zones: Automatically draws the Equilibrium (EQ) to help you sell in Premium and buy in Discount areas.
2. Advanced Liquidity & Traps
Liquidity Sweeps (⚔): Identifies when key Highs or Lows are swept to grab liquidity.
Inducement (IDM 🪤): Highlights short-term highs/lows that act as "traps" for retail traders before the real move occurs. This helps you avoid false breakouts.
3. Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) Engine
Volume Bar Coloring: Candles are color-coded based on volume intensity:
🟨 Yellow: Ultra High Volume (Institutional Activity).

NQ Market DNA: ML ScorerNQ Market DNA: ML Scorer — Indicator Description
NQ Market DNA: ML Scorer is a session-structure and machine-learning scoring tool designed specifically for Nasdaq futures (NQ/MNQ). It converts the market’s overnight behavior into a single, probability-style score (0–100%) and a clear directional bias for the upcoming New York session.
This script is not a generic “trend indicator.” It is a rules-based implementation of a machine-learning model whose feature set and weightings were built and calibrated in Python using historical session data. The Pine Script version is the real-time execution layer: it measures the live session structure, applies the model weights, and displays the result on-chart.
________________________________________
What the indicator plots
1) Session Boxes (Structure Map)
The indicator draws three session ranges using boxes and a midline:
• Asia Session (20:00–02:00 NY time by default)
• London Session (02:00–08:00 NY time by default)
• New York Session (08:00–16:00 NY time by default)
Each session box:
• Expands in real time as highs/lows develop
• Includes a dotted midline (session midpoint)
• “Locks” its final values once the session ends
2) Extension Levels (Target Interaction)
When Asia or London ends, the script projects high and low extension lines forward into the day. These lines extend until one of the following happens:
• Price trades back through the level (a touch/cross condition), or
• The script reaches the hard stop at 16:00 (end of NY session)
This makes it easy to visually track whether later sessions respect or invalidate prior-session extremes.
________________________________________
The ML scoring concept
Output: “Probability of High First” (0–100%)
The model’s output is a normalized score intended to behave like a probability. Practically:
• Score ≥ 50% → Bullish bias (“London High First”)
• Score < 50% → Bearish bias (“London Low First”)
The score is produced by summing weighted session features. If a feature is bullish, it contributes its weight; if bearish, it contributes zero. The weights approximately sum to ~100, so the final score naturally maps into a 0–100 range.
Bias coloring
The on-chart score cell uses a risk-style color gradient:
• Strong Bullish (typically > 75): green
• Neutral / mixed (around 40–75): orange
• Bearish / weak (below ~40): red
________________________________________
Features used by the model (and why they matter)
The ML scorer is driven by session positioning, trend, and volatility. Your Python research determined the relative importance of each feature; the largest weights reflect the strongest historical explanatory power.
Primary drivers (most important)
1. NY Open Location (Weight ~63.73%)
Checks whether the NY session opens above or below the London midpoint.
This is treated as the dominant structural signal because it captures whether NY is opening in the “upper half” or “lower half” of London’s range.
2. London Trend (Weight ~28.09%)
London close vs London open (bullish if close > open).
This represents whether London printed a directional push versus chop.
3. London Outcome / Structure (Weight ~4.21%)
Classifies London relative to Asia:
o “High-only sweep” (bullish structure) if London breaks Asia high without breaking Asia low
This is a proxy for one-sided liquidity behavior rather than symmetric volatility.
Minor factors (smaller weights, but still additive)
4. London Volatility (Weight ~1.11%)
London range relative to its own rolling average (lookback-controlled).
Used as a contextual amplifier: higher-than-normal London range can support continuation.
5. Asia Volatility (Weight ~1.05%)
Asia range relative to its rolling average.
Helps distinguish “quiet overnight” vs “expanded overnight,” which can change the day’s tendency.
6. Asia Trend (Weight ~1.00%)
Asia close vs Asia open.
A light directional context input.
7. London Open Location vs Asia Mid (Weight ~0.81%)
Whether London opens above/below the Asia midpoint.
Helps quantify early handoff positioning.

How to read the table
The table is designed to be a compact decision panel:
• ML PREDICTOR: the score (%) for the current day once NY has opened
• NY Bias: bullish or bearish interpretation based on the 50 threshold
• Top Drivers: shows the state of the highest-weighted features (NY location, London trend, structure)
• Minor Factors: a condensed read on volatility context (e.g., “High Vol” vs “Mixed/Low”)
This layout lets you quickly understand not only the bias, but what caused it.
________________________________________
Best-practice usage notes
• This tool is intended to be used as a context engine, not a standalone entry signal.
• It is most effective when combined with your execution framework (levels, risk model, confirmations, etc.).
• Because it relies on session boundaries, chart symbol and market hours must match the intended instrument (NQ futures) for the cleanest behavior.

SLO Pro-J-Algo # Smart Liquidity & OTE Analysis Tool
## OVERVIEW
This indicator is designed for traders who utilize institutional trading concepts, specifically liquidity sweeps and optimal trade entry (OTE) zones, combined with session-based market structure analysis. It identifies potential market manipulation points where stop losses are likely clustered, and highlights high-probability entry zones based on Fibonacci retracements.
The tool combines four main analytical components that work synergistically to identify trading opportunities aligned with smart money behavior.
---
## CORE CONCEPTS & METHODOLOGY
### 1. TRADING SESSIONS ANALYSIS
**What it does:**
The indicator tracks three major forex trading sessions with customizable time zones:
- **Asian Session** (Default: 01:00-13:00 UTC+4) - Typically characterized by range-bound price action
- **London Session** (Default: 11:00-20:00 UTC+4) - High volatility period with increased institutional activity
- **New York Session** (Default: 17:00-00:00 UTC+4) - Overlaps with London creating peak liquidity
**How it works:**
- Automatically highlights active sessions with colored background boxes
- Draws session high/low lines which often act as intraday support/resistance
- Identifies session overlaps (e.g., London-NY overlap) where volatility and liquidity are highest
- Color-codes the price bars during overlaps to alert traders to increased opportunity periods
- Displays real-time session status (🟢 Open / 🔴 Closed) for quick reference
**Trading Application:**
Session highs and lows frequently become liquidity targets. The indicator helps traders anticipate when price might sweep these levels before continuing in the original direction. Session overlaps are prime times for major moves as multiple institutional players are active simultaneously.
---
### 2. EXTERNAL LIQUIDITY SWEEPS
**What it does:**
Identifies when price "sweeps" or breaks beyond significant swing highs and lows where stop losses are typically clustered. These sweeps often precede reversals or continuations after liquidity is collected.
**How it works:**
- Scans the previous 20 bars (configurable) to identify swing high and low points
- Marks these levels as "buyside liquidity" (above highs) or "sellside liquidity" (below lows)
- Monitors price action using three detection methods:
* **Wick Break:** Any candle wick extending beyond the liquidity level
* **Close Break:** Candle body closing beyond the level (stronger confirmation)
* **Full Retrace:** Price breaks the level then closes back inside the range (classic liquidity grab)
- Uses an ATR-based buffer to avoid false signals from minor price spikes
- Confirms sweeps only after a configurable number of confirmation bars to reduce repainting
**The Logic Behind It:**
Institutional traders need liquidity to fill large orders. Stop losses clustered above swing highs and below swing lows provide this liquidity. When these levels are swept, it often indicates smart money is entering positions in the opposite direction, causing reversals.
**Visual Representation:**
- Blue horizontal lines mark buyside liquidity zones (above price)
- Gray horizontal lines mark sellside liquidity zones (below price)
- Labels indicate when liquidity has been swept (✓) or remains active
- Historical zones are maintained for context (configurable display limit)
---
### 3. INTERNAL LIQUIDITY DETECTION
**What it does:**
Identifies equal highs (EQH) and equal lows (EQL) within recent price action - levels that have been tested multiple times without breaking. These represent internal liquidity pools that price often revisits before making larger moves.
**How it works:**
- Examines the most recent 8 bars (configurable) for price levels that occur multiple times
- Uses an ATR-based threshold (default 0.1% of ATR) to determine if highs or lows are "equal"
- Requires minimum 3 occurrences (configurable) of the same level to qualify as internal liquidity
- Tracks both the creation and sweeping of these internal levels
- Differentiates between wick breaks and close breaks for sweep confirmation
**The Concept:**
Unlike external liquidity at swing points, internal liquidity represents recent stop clusters and pending orders within the current price structure. Identifying these levels helps traders anticipate short-term price targets and potential reversal points before larger directional moves.
**Why This Matters:**
Price often needs to clear internal liquidity before making sustained moves to external liquidity levels. This creates a "roadmap" of where price is likely to go in sequence, improving trade timing.
**Visual Representation:**
- Cyan lines mark internal buyside liquidity (equal highs)
- Orange lines mark internal sellside liquidity (equal lows)
- Dashed or solid lines based on user preference
- Labels show when internal levels are swept
---
### 4. OPTIMAL TRADE ENTRY (OTE) ZONES
**What it does:**
Calculates and displays Fibonacci retracement zones (0.618-0.786) from recent swing points, representing "discount" or "premium" areas where institutional traders often enter positions after a liquidity sweep or structure break.
**How it works:**
- Identifies swing highs and lows using a 10-bar lookback period (configurable)
- Calculates three key Fibonacci levels:
* **0.618** - The "golden ratio" retracement (most significant)
* **0.705** - Mid-point between 0.618 and 0.786
* **0.786** - Deep retracement level (square root of 0.618)
- Optionally requires a structure break before displaying OTE zones
- Dynamically extends zones as new price action develops
- Tracks whether price has entered the zone (✅) or exited without filling (❌)
- Displays up to 2 most recent zones (configurable) to avoid chart clutter
**The Methodology:**
OTE zones represent areas where price is at a "discount" (for longs) or "premium" (for shorts) relative to the recent swing. After a liquidity sweep or structure break, institutional traders often wait for retracements into these zones before entering, as it offers better risk-to-reward ratios.
**Combining with Liquidity:**
The most powerful setups occur when:
1. External liquidity is swept
2. Price retraces into an OTE zone
3. Internal liquidity is present as a target
This confluence suggests smart money activity and high-probability trade opportunities.
**Visual Representation:**
- Shaded blue zone between 0.618 and 0.786 levels
- Three horizontal lines showing key Fibonacci levels with different colors/styles
- Labels (🎯) indicate bullish or bearish OTE zones
- Entry (✅) and exit (❌) status for each zone
---
## WHY THESE FEATURES WORK TOGETHER
This indicator combines these four components because they represent different stages of institutional trading behavior:
1. **Session Timing** - Identifies WHEN institutional activity is highest
2. **Liquidity Sweeps** - Shows WHERE smart money is collecting liquidity
3. **OTE Zones** - Highlights WHERE institutional entries likely occur after sweeps
4. **Internal Liquidity** - Provides SHORT-TERM targets for profit-taking or add-ons
Rather than using each concept in isolation, this integration creates a complete market structure framework. For example:
- A buyside liquidity sweep during London open →
- Followed by a retrace into a bullish OTE zone →
- With internal sellside liquidity as the initial target
This sequence represents a complete high-probability trade setup aligned with smart money principles.
---
## ANTI-REPAINTING FEATURES
**The Repainting Problem:**
Many indicators that identify patterns on historical data repaint their signals when live trading, showing signals that weren't actually there in real-time. This creates a false sense of accuracy.
**Our Solution:**
- **Confirmation Bars Setting:** Signals only appear after X bars have confirmed the pattern (default: 2 bars)
- **Marked Confirmation:** Labels show "C" when using confirmed signals
- **Trade-off:** More confirmation = less repainting but slightly delayed signals
- **User Control:** Traders can toggle between real-time signals (faster but may repaint) and confirmed signals (delayed but reliable)
---
## KEY CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS
### Master Controls
- Toggle each major feature on/off independently
- Combine only the features relevant to your trading style
### Display Settings
- Adjust lookback periods for each component
- Control number of historical zones displayed
- Customize colors, line styles, and transparency
- Show/hide labels and session names
- Configure text sizes for different screen setups
### Detection Sensitivity
- **Sweep Detection:** Choose between wick breaks, close breaks, or full retraces
- **ATR Buffer:** Add distance requirements to confirm sweeps (reduces false signals)
- **Equal Level Threshold:** Adjust how close levels must be to qualify as "equal"
- **Confirmation Bars:** Balance between signal speed and reliability
### Alert System
- Session open/close notifications
- Liquidity sweep alerts
- OTE zone entry alerts
- Configurable alert frequency and types
---
## HOW TO USE THIS INDICATOR
### Basic Setup
1. Add the indicator to your chart (works on all timeframes, though 5M-1H recommended for intraday)
2. Enable the features you want to use via Master Controls
3. Adjust colors and transparency to match your chart preferences
4. Configure alert preferences if using notifications
### Trading Workflow
**Step 1: Identify the Session**
- Determine which trading session is active or approaching
- Note session highs/lows as potential liquidity targets
- Be especially alert during session overlaps
**Step 2: Watch for Liquidity Sweeps**
- Monitor external liquidity lines (swing highs/lows)
- When price sweeps liquidity, anticipate a potential reversal
- Stronger sweeps (close breaks + full retraces) are more significant
**Step 3: Wait for OTE Retracement**
- After a sweep, wait for price to retrace into the OTE zone (0.618-0.786)
- Bullish OTE after sellside sweep = potential long
- Bearish OTE after buyside sweep = potential short
**Step 4: Use Internal Liquidity as Targets**
- Look for internal liquidity in the direction of your trade
- These serve as initial profit targets
- External liquidity serves as extended targets
**Step 5: Manage Confirmation Settings**
- For live trading, use confirmed signals (2+ confirmation bars)
- For backtesting or analysis, you may use real-time signals
- Note that confirmed signals appear with "C" marking
### Example Trade Scenarios
**Bullish Setup:**
1. London session opens (increased volume)
2. Price sweeps sellside liquidity below Asian low
3. Price retraces into bullish OTE zone (0.618-0.786 of the sweep move)
4. Target internal buyside liquidity, then external buyside liquidity
**Bearish Setup:**
1. NY session overlap with London (peak liquidity)
2. Price sweeps buyside liquidity above recent high
3. Price retraces into bearish OTE zone
4. Target internal sellside liquidity, then session lows

Liquidity_Detection_Fx_Shepherd [ALLDYN]### Breakdown of the Basic "Fx_Shepherd_Liquidity" Script
#### 1. **Purpose of the Script:**
This basic version of the "Fx_Shepherd_Liquidity" script is designed to help traders detect potential liquidity grabs by analyzing price movements and candle patterns in the market. It works by identifying large price deviations and compares multiple candles to detect liquidity sweeps either to the upside or downside.
#### 2. **How it Works:**
- **User Inputs:**
- `Maru_rate`: This is a user-defined percentage that helps determine how much the price movement of a candle needs to deviate from the candle's range (high - low) to be considered a liquidity grab.
- `Compare`: Another percentage input used to compare the relative size of three candles versus one candle.
- `MA`: This represents the "Big candle period," or the moving average period for big candles.
- `urgent_rate`: This is used to determine urgency by comparing the current candle's range to an SMA of previous candles.
- **Key Calculation Steps:**
- **Candle Deviation (Up and Down):**
- `Up` measures how much the current candle closes above its open (bullish deviation).
- `Down` measures how much the current candle closes below its open (bearish deviation).
- **Average Deviations:**
- `UP_Sum` and `Do_Sum` calculate the SMA of Up and Down deviations, respectively, over the defined period (MA). These averages help detect when a candle deviates significantly from the norm.
- **Urgency Detection:**
- `Check_Up_Urgent` and `Check_Dow_Urgent` are conditions that check if the current candle’s high-low range exceeds the defined urgent rate. This signals whether the price movement is "urgent" or significant.
- **Liquidity Detection:**
- **For Upward Liquidity:**
- The script checks if the candle is bullish (`close > open`) and whether the price deviation (`close - open`) meets or exceeds the user-defined `Maru_rate`.
- The script then compares the size of the previous three candles (`high - low`) with a single candle (`Compare`) to confirm a liquidity grab.
- Finally, it looks for continuous upward candle patterns to confirm the strength of the move.
- **For Downward Liquidity:**
- Similar logic applies, but for bearish candles. It checks whether the candle is bearish (`close < open`) and applies the same size comparisons to detect downward liquidity grabs.
- **Candle Highlighting:**
- If the conditions for a liquidity grab are met (both urgency and size), the script changes the bar color to green for upward liquidity and yellow for downward liquidity. These colored bars visually highlight the candles that meet the liquidity grab conditions.
- The script also colors up to three consecutive candles if they meet the liquidity grab conditions (offset = -1, -2).
#### 3. **Benefits of Using This Script:**
- **Liquidity Grab Detection:**
This script helps detect potential liquidity grabs, which occur when large players in the market push the price in a direction to trigger stop-losses or lure retail traders into a position before reversing the price direction. By detecting these movements, traders can avoid being trapped and potentially take advantage of the upcoming reversal.
- **Simple & Lightweight:**
The script uses basic inputs and calculations to detect liquidity grabs, making it easy to use and understand. It's less complex than the advanced version, which makes it suitable for traders who prefer simplicity or are new to liquidity grab detection.
- **Visual Clarity:**
The script uses color changes (green for upward grabs and yellow for downward grabs) to help traders easily spot potential liquidity grab areas on the chart. These visual cues make it more straightforward to interpret.
#### 4. **When to Use This Basic Version:**
- **Quick Liquidity Detection:** This script is ideal for traders who need a quick way to detect potential liquidity grabs without the complexity of managing dynamic parameters or volume confirmation.
- **Simplified Trading Strategies:** If your trading strategy doesn’t rely heavily on volume or multi-timeframe liquidity grab adjustments, this script can work well for basic setups where price action is the primary indicator.
- **Faster Execution:** Since this version doesn’t require dynamic adjustments or volume confirmation, it executes faster, making it suitable for traders who need lightweight tools to stay on top of fast-moving markets.
### Conclusion:
The basic version of the **Fx_Shepherd_Liquidity** script offers a simplified tool for detecting potential liquidity grabs. Its straightforward design, adjustable Maru rate, and visual bar color changes make it easy to integrate into any trading strategy focused on price action. While it lacks the advanced features of the premium version, it serves as a solid, lightweight solution for traders who prefer simplicity over complexity.
