Liquidity Sweep Detector

Smart Money

Identifies sweeps of previous swing highs and lows where liquidity rests, marking sweep candles with labels on the chart.

How It Works

The indicator tracks recent swing highs and swing lows using a configurable lookback period. A liquidity sweep is detected when price briefly breaks beyond a swing level but closes back within range, suggesting stop-loss hunting. Labels mark the sweep candle, and an optional alert fires when a sweep occurs.
