Sweep and Cluster [JOAT]SWEEP AND CLUSTER
A two-stage liquidity-sweep engine. Most public "sweep" indicators print a label on every wick that pokes past a recent high or low — which is mostly noise. Sweep and Cluster requires two separate events to register a tradeable signal: first a strict 5-condition sweep, then a confirming cluster of price action in the rejection direction. The label that actually appears on the chart is the rare intersection — the moments where institutional stop-running is followed by genuine commitment in the opposite direction.
Stage 1 — Strict 5-condition sweep detection
A sweep is registered only when all of these are true on the same bar:
Real pivot reference — the swept level is an actual minor pivot (ta.pivothigh / ta.pivotlow) from the rolling cache, not a rolling max/min. A scan-depth input controls how far back to look; a minimum-age gate prevents self-reference.
Wick magnitude — the wick that exceeds the pivot must be at least Wick ATR Multiplier × ATR(14) (default 0.8 ATR). The KB-published strict threshold.
Wick dominance — wick length must be at least Wick/Range Ratio of the candle's total range (default 35%). The wick must dominate the bar's shape, not be a side-effect of a large body.
Closing direction — close must be back inside the swept level. A clean wick that closed beyond the pivot is a breakout, not a sweep — and is filtered out by construction.
Cooldown — at least N bars (default 8) since the last same-side sweep. Prevents one stop-run from being counted as multiple sweeps when the wick prints over several bars.
If all five conditions are met a pending marker is placed (optional). Pending markers represent "a sweep happened" but not yet "the sweep was meaningful" — until the cluster confirms, the sweep is not actionable.
Stage 2 — Cluster confirmation
After a sweep fires, the next N bars (cluster window, default 5) are monitored for confirming follow-through. The cluster confirms only when:
At least M bars (default 1) close against the swept direction inside the window.
Average body/range across the qualifying cluster bars exceeds the Min Body Ratio (default 0.25) — the rejection candles must be impulsive, not micro-bodies.
Cumulative volume across the cluster window is at least Volume Multiplier × Average Volume (default 0.8×). Without volume the cluster is not commitment.
When all three confirm, the script fires the SAC (Sweep And Cluster) label — the actionable signal. A cluster strength badge (body sum / ATR) is rendered next to the label so you can rank one SAC vs another at a glance.
A failed sweep marker (toggleable, off by default) tracks sweeps that expired without confirming — useful for auditing the false-positive rate visually and for choosing thresholds.
Visual system
Sweep wick highlight — a thin coloured line at the swept reference price, extended right by a configurable number of bars. Makes the rejection unmistakable.
Reference level triangle — small glyph at the actual pivot level that was swept.
Cluster candle override — when SAC fires, the confirming cluster candles are repainted in the active-side theme colour via plotcandle so the move stands out from background.
Optional background tint — fading directional bgcolor for a few bars after a confirmed SAC.
Optional bar paint by active bias — every bar painted bull/bear based on the most recent SAC. Off by default to preserve chart neutrality.
A locked Quantum palette (cyan-quantum bull / pink-quantum bear on a deep void) gives the chart a distinctive sweep-and-reverse identity.
Dashboard + rolling statistics
A monospaced table, positionable to any of nine corners, with vertical row-fade for premium feel. Surfaces:
Total sweeps and total SACs since the last session/day/week reset (configurable reset frame).
Rolling Confirmation Rate (% of recent sweeps that became SACs) over a configurable window (default 50). The script's own success metric.
Pending sweep status with bars-remaining-in-cluster-window.
Last SAC direction with strength badge and bars-ago.
Last failed sweep tag (when failed markers are enabled).
Confirmation Rate is the headline read — it lets you see whether the current threshold settings are producing meaningful or sparse signals on the instrument you are trading.
Alerts
Three alert conditions, each independently controllable:
Pending Sweep (Stage 1 fires)
SAC Confirmed (Stage 2 confirms)
SAC Failed (Stage 2 expires without confirming) — off by default
How to read it
Two reads, in order of conviction:
SAC Confirmed alert with a high strength badge — the script's intended signal. Liquidity was swept, a real rejection followed inside the window, and the rejection had body and volume. This is the actionable read.
Pending Sweep at a known structural level (S/R, supply/demand) — useful as a "watch for the cluster" warning. If the cluster confirms, you have a high-conviction reversal at a structural location.
In persistent trends the failed-sweep rate climbs — that is the script telling you the regime does not currently favour sweep-and-reverse setups; stand aside or use the script in the trend direction only.
Suggested settings
Defaults (pivot lookback 8, wick ATR 0.8, body ratio 0.35, cluster window 5) are tuned for 15m–1H on liquid markets. For scalping (1m–5m), drop pivot lookback to 4 and cluster window to 3. For HTF macro reads (4H+), raise pivot lookback to 12–20 and cluster window to 8. The strict-threshold wick filters (0.8 ATR + 35%) are intentionally institutional — loosen for less liquid instruments.
Originality
The implementation — the five-condition strict sweep gate, the rolling minor-pivot cache with age and scan-depth filters, the three-condition cluster confirmation, the cluster-strength badge calculation, the pending → confirmed → failed state machine, the wick-level highlight render, the plotcandle override for confirming bars, the rolling confirmation-rate metric, and the session-reset counter — is JOAT-original. No third-party code reused. The "sweep + reaction" pattern is well-known to professional tape readers; the strict double-gate implementation is built specifically for chart-based Pine data.
Limitations
A confirmed SAC requires the cluster window to elapse — by definition the signal carries the cluster window bars of lag relative to the sweep. This is intentional; the cluster is what makes the signal meaningful. Failed sweeps are expected — the confirmation rate metric is there for you to see and tune accordingly. The script is structure-aware (uses real pivots) but does not know about HTF structure; combine with a higher-timeframe S/R indicator for best fit.

JESUS SAVES Bull-Bear Split CandlesJESUS SAVES Directional Split Candles transforms traditional price bars into a structured two-segment visualization that separates each candle into a bullish and a bearish price component.
Instead of displaying classic bodies and wicks, every bar is divided into two clean, wick-free sections to highlight directional price movement within the same candle.
When open < close, the bullish section spans from low to close, while the bearish section covers close to high.
When open > close, the bearish section spans from high to close, and the bullish section covers close to low.
Importantly, no price information is lost in this transformation. All original OHLC values (Open, High, Low, Close) remain fully represented — they are simply reorganized into two directional segments instead of a traditional candle structure.
This structured view emphasizes internal price distribution and offers a refined perspective on momentum and imbalance inside each bar.
⚠️ Important Chart Setup
TradingView does not allow scripts to modify or hide the native chart candles (they cannot be programmatically set to white or transparent).
To display only the custom candles, simply open Chart Settings → Symbol and uncheck the checkboxes for Body, Wick, and Border to hide the native candles. مؤشر
Wick Pressure Zones [BigBeluga]
The Wick Pressure Zones indicator highlights areas where extreme wick activity occurred, signaling strong buy or sell pressure. By measuring unusually long upper or lower wicks and mapping them into gradient volume zones , the tool helps traders identify levels where liquidity was absorbed, leaving behind footprints of supply and demand imbalances. These zones often act as support, resistance, or liquidity sweep magnets .
🔵 CONCEPTS
Extreme Wicks : Large upper or lower shadows indicate aggressive rejection — upper wicks suggest selling pressure, lower wicks suggest buying pressure.
Volumatic Gradient Zones : From each detected wick, the indicator projects a layered gradient zone, proportional to the wick’s size, showing where most pressure occurred.
Liquidity Footprints : These zones mark levels where significant buy/sell volume was executed, often becoming reaction points on future retests.
Automatic Expiration : Zones persist until price decisively trades through them, after which they are cleared to keep the chart clean.
🔵 FEATURES
Automatic Wick Detection : Identifies extreme upper and lower wick events using percentile filtering and Realative Strength Index.
Gradient Zone Visualization : Builds a 10-layer zone from the wick top/bottom, shading intensity according to pressure strength.
Volume Labels : Each zone is annotated with the bar’s volume at the origin point for added context.
Dynamic Zone Extension : Zones extend to the right as long as they remain relevant; once price closes through them, they are removed.
Support & Resistance Mapping : Upper wick zones (red) behave like supply/resistance, lower wick zones (green) like demand/support.
Clutter Control : Limits the number of active zones (default 10) to keep charts responsive.
Background Highlighting : Optional background shading when new wick zones appear (red for sell, green for buy).
🔵 HOW TO USE
Look for Upper Wick Zones (red) : Indicate strong selling pressure; watch for resistance, reversals, or liquidity sweeps above.
Look for Lower Wick Zones (green) : Indicate strong buying pressure; watch for support or liquidity sweeps below.
Trade Retests : When price returns to a zone, expect a reaction (bounce or rejection) due to leftover liquidity.
Combine with Context : Align wick pressure zones with HTF support/resistance, order blocks, or volume profile for stronger signals.
Use Volume Labels : High-volume wicks indicate more significant liquidity events, making the zone more likely to act as a strong reaction point.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Wick Pressure Zones is a powerful way to visualize hidden liquidity and aggressive rejections. By mapping extreme wick events into dynamic, volume-annotated zones, it shows traders where the market absorbed heavy buy/sell pressure. These levels frequently act as magnets or turning points, making them valuable for timing entries, stop placement, or fade strategies. مؤشر

Liquidity Spike PoolThe “Liquidity Pools” indicator is a tool for market analysts that stands out for its ability to clearly project the intricate zones of manipulation present in financial markets. These crucial territories emerge when supply or demand takes over, resulting in long shadows (wicks) on the chart candles. Imagine these regions as "magnets" for prices, as they represent authentic "liquidity pools" where the flow of money into the market is significantly concentrated. But the value of the indicator goes beyond this simple visualization: these zones, when identified and interpreted correctly, can play a crucial role for traders looking for profitable entry points. They can mutate into important bastions of support or resistance, providing traders with key anchor points to make informed decisions within their trading strategies.
A key aspect to consider is the importance of different time frames in analyzing markets. Larger time frames, such as daily or 4h, tend to host larger and more relevant liquidity zones. Therefore, a successful strategy might involve identifying these areas of manipulation over longer time frames through the use of this indicator, and then applying these findings to shorter time frames. This approach allows you to turn manipulation zones into crucial reference points that merit constant surveillance while making trading decisions on shorter time frames.
The indicator uses color to convey information clearly and effectively:
- Dark blue lines highlight candles with significant upper wick, signaling the possible presence of an important manipulation area in the considered area.
- Dark red lines are reserved for sizable candlesticks with significant upper wick, emphasizing situations that are particularly relevant to traders.
- Dark gray lines highlight candles with significant lower wick, providing a valuable indication of manipulation zones where the bid may have prevailed.
- White lines highlight sizable candlesticks with significant lower wick, clearly indicating situations where demand has been predominant and may have helped form a liquidity pool.
This indicator constitutes an important resource for identifying and clearly displaying candles with significant wicks, allowing traders to distinguish between ordinary market conditions and circumstances particularly relevant to their trading strategies. Thanks to the distinctive colors of the lines, the indicator offers intuitive visual guidance, allowing traders to make more informed decisions while carrying out their analyses.

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

[ChasinAlts] SuppRe-me ZonesHello fellow tradeurs, I couldn't find one similar on TV so wanted to make it.. Took me a little while to figure some things out as I am in new coding territory with this script. I had a hard time finding ways to make only a partial zone/box disappear if price only crossed part of it. Nonetheless, I figured it out so I hope you enjoy the outcome. Now, allow me to take a second to first explain the utility that is this script...or at least expose my reasoning when I decided to go ahead with this little project and take the precious time necessary to learn parts of pine that I did not previously know how to deal with. Ultimately, I built this for the 1s-15s TF(except for the "Consecutive Bars/Large Bars" Boxes...Those were meant to use on both these second TFs and Higher TFs.... ). The reasoning behind all of this was to give me a more definitive answer to all of my questions regarding the speed at which it would take price to revisit areas that it very abruptly went to/left on a VERY short TF (like the 1sec charts)...or even if it EVER would). To determine this I wanted to draw lines starting at the end of large wicks, draw boxes spanning the entire span of large wicks, and lastly to draw boxes spanning the entire span of very large bodies. For this last one, not only did I want to draw a box on a single candle that possessed a large body but also if there were consecutive red candles in a row, their bodies could be summed up and if this summation exceeds the minimum body % threshold then it too counts just like a single large candled body would if it was larger than the threshold. All in all I really enjoyed this script and most importantly the data that it produces. What I found after coding the script was that (again on the 1 sec- 15 sec charts) was that price very quickly (relatively speaking I suppose) came back over these box/zoned areas and that the lines drawn from the tip of the large wicks would at some point in the near future act as very good support and resistance for price to either bounce off of or breakout from.
Now, with each of these objects you can choose to delete them when price crosses the object or have them continuously drawn on the chart...your call...but it gets awful messy sometimes if you let them continue printing.
Peace and love people...peace and love,

EMA MTF PlusI like trading the 1 minute and 3 minutes time-frames. I'm what is commonly called a "scalper". Long term investments yes, I have some, but for trading, I don't have neither the time,
nor the patience to wait hours or days for my trade to be complete.
This doesn't mean I discount the higher time-frames, no, I actually rely heavily on them. I found that EMAs do a decent job as support/resistance, sometimes to a tick level of precision. And this is important for a 1 minute trader.
As such, I made this script that tracks the higher time-frames EMAs and displays the last value as a line.
I do not need the whole EMA, I'm not interested in crossovers or crossunders, these are anyway late signals for me.
What's with the triangles? These are local tops/bottoms , candles that have a have decent size of the wick. These tops and bottoms are by no means "final", they are merely a rejection at certain levels of price. Due to markets complexities (and human erratic behaviors hehe) these levels could be breached at the very next candle. For a more "final" version (nothing is really final but..) I added Schaff Trend Cycle as filter, so a triangle will pop only when a trend is mature enough ( STC with a value near 0 or near 100).
Colored bars. When the body of the candle is big, it shows strength. Strong bars tend to have follow through, especially when breaking key levels. The script looks at the body of the candle and compares it with ATR (Average True Range), if it's at least 0.8 of ATR it changes the bar color to yellow (bull candles) or fuchsia(bear candles).
Range identifier. This code is copied from Lazy Bear (if there are any issues please let me know), it's very useful in conjunction with colored bars.
I look for breakout candles that go outside of the range as a signal for a trade.
There are many ways in which this script can be useful, like trading mean reversions or momentum trades (breakouts) or simply trend following trades.
I hope you guys find it useful, you can play with default values and change them as you like, these are what I found to be working best for me and my trading universe (mostly crypto).
Special thanks for the original work of:
