Liquidity Acceptance Map [PhenLabs]📊 Liquidity Acceptance Map
v1.0 — Equal high/low sweeps graded by a volume + ATR acceptance score — only the highest-conviction zones plotted
📌 OVERVIEW
Liquidity Acceptance Map (LAM) identifies high-probability liquidity zones by combining three layers of confirmation: equal high/low detection (liquidity pool location), sweep event confirmation (price takes out the level), and a graded Acceptance Score (0–100) that measures how convincingly the market accepted the new price range using volume and ATR expansion.
Zones that don’t clear the score threshold are never plotted — only the highest-conviction sweeps make it to the chart. A real-time dashboard shows all active zones, their type, and live scores. An optional HTF EMA bias filter ensures you only see zones aligned with the higher-timeframe trend.
HOW IT WORKS
Equal High/Low Detection
Swing pivots are identified using a balanced left/right lookback window
Two consecutive pivots within the configurable Equal Level Tolerance % form a liquidity pool
The pool level is the average of the two pivots — reducing precision noise
Sweep Confirmation
A sweep fires when price exceeds the pool level by Sweep Margin %
Optional: require the close to be beyond the level (prevents wick-only traps)
Sweep detection is gated on barstate.isconfirmed — no repainting
Acceptance Score (0–100)
Calculated on the sweep bar using two components:
Volume Component : how far current volume exceeds the N-bar average, normalized against the configured multiplier
ATR Component : how far current ATR exceeds the ATR average, normalized against the configured multiplier
Weighted combination: Score = Vol Score × Vol Weight% + ATR Score × (100 - Vol Weight%)
Score of 100 = full volume AND full ATR expansion at or above both multiplier thresholds
Zones with Score below Minimum Acceptance Score are silently discarded
Zone Management
Accepted zones plotted as semi-transparent filled rectangles with a label: type, score, and entry price
Each zone includes a dashed invalidation line at a configurable offset beyond the zone boundary
When price closes beyond the invalidation level, the zone is greyed out — never deleted, always auditable
Maximum active zones is configurable (default: 2) — oldest zone removed when limit is hit
HTF Bias Filter (Optional)
Pulls an EMA from a user-selected higher timeframe using lookahead_off — no lookahead repaint
Bullish zones (swept lows) only plot when HTF EMA is rising
Bearish zones (swept highs) only plot when HTF EMA is falling
Disabled by default — works as a standalone tool without it
🔑 POINTS OF INNOVATION
Graded Acceptance Score — most liquidity tools are binary (sweep or no sweep); LAM adds a 0–100 confidence layer so you know how much conviction backed the sweep
Dual-component scoring — volume expansion alone can mislead during low-ATR consolidation; combining both components produces a more robust regime signal
Zone cap per session — prevents chart clutter; only the 1–2 most relevant zones stay active at any time
Non-destructive invalidation — invalidated zones are greyed out, not deleted — preserving historical context without cluttering the active signal layer
HTF bias integration — directional conviction from a higher timeframe filters out counter-trend sweeps that statistically resolve against you
Dashboard table — real-time view of all active zones, types, and scores without needing to hover over boxes
🔧 SETTINGS
Equal High/Low Detection
Swing Lookback | Default: 20 | Range: 5–100 | Bars used to identify swing pivots
Equal Level Tolerance (%) | Default: 0.1 | Range: 0.0–2.0 | Max % difference for two pivots to be considered “equal”
Sweep Confirmation
Sweep Margin (%) | Default: 0.1 | Range: 0.0–2.0 | Price must exceed the pool level by this % to confirm a sweep
Require Close Beyond Sweep | Default: ON | Sweep requires a confirmed bar close beyond the level
Acceptance Score
Volume Expansion Multiplier | Default: 1.5 | Range: 1.0–5.0 | Volume ratio needed for full volume score
ATR Expansion Multiplier | Default: 1.2 | Range: 1.0–5.0 | ATR ratio needed for full ATR score
Volume Weight in Score (%) | Default: 60 | Range: 0–100 | Split between volume and ATR in the composite score
Minimum Acceptance Score | Default: 60 | Range: 0–100 | Zones below this score are discarded
Score MA Lookback | Default: 20 | Range: 5–100 | Lookback for volume and ATR moving averages
Zone Management
Max Active Zones | Default: 2 | Range: 1–5 | Cap on simultaneously visible zones
Invalidation Offset (%) | Default: 0.2 | Range: 0.0–2.0 | Close beyond this % negates the zone
Show Dashboard | Default: ON | Top-right table of active zones + scores
HTF Bias Filter
Enable HTF Bias Filter | Default: OFF
HTF Timeframe | Default: 240 (4H) | Higher timeframe for EMA
HTF EMA Period | Default: 50 | EMA period on the HTF
Colors
Bullish Zone, Bearish Zone, Sweep Marker, Invalidation Line — all fully customizable
🔥 ALERTS
LAM — Bullish Sweep Accepted : fires when a bullish sweep passes the acceptance score threshold
LAM — Bearish Sweep Accepted : fires when a bearish sweep passes the acceptance score threshold
🎨 VISUAL GUIDE
Teal filled rectangle = active bullish zone (swept low, price expected to hold as support)
Red filled rectangle = active bearish zone (swept high, price expected to hold as resistance)
Grey filled rectangle = invalidated zone (price closed beyond the invalidation line)
Dashed grey line = invalidation level for each zone
Orange triangle markers = sweep confirmation events (bull = below bar, bear = above bar)
Top-right table = dashboard: price level, zone type, acceptance score
📖 USAGE NOTES
Designed for 1H, 4H, and Daily timeframes — where equal high/low clusters carry the most institutional significance
On lower timeframes (15m) , increase Equal Level Tolerance to 0.15–0.2% to account for spread noise
On volatile assets (crypto) , increase Sweep Margin to 0.2–0.3% to avoid false sweep triggers
Scores above 75 indicate very high-conviction sweeps — consider these primary entries
Scores 60–75 are valid but lower confidence — useful for confirmation, not standalone entry
Enable HTF Bias Filter to avoid counter-trend fades in strongly trending markets
The zone height is one ATR centered on the swept level — giving each zone contextual thickness relative to the instrument’s volatility
✅ WORKS WELL WITH
Volume profile tools (to confirm zone with high-volume nodes)
Session-based VWAP (anchored from sweep bar)
Trend filters (EMA, Supertrend) to qualify zone direction
Risk management tools (ATR-based stops, aligning with invalidation levels)
