Liquidity Concepts
Liquidity Concepts identify key zones where price grabs or flows toward liquidity.
Liquidity Grab
This Liquidity Grab Indicator highlights areas where price briefly moves in one direction to "grab" liquidity before reversing.
When a liquidity grab occurs through a large candle’s wick:
Upward Liquidity Grab (Trend Continuation)
An upward liquidity grab occurs when the price forms a large upper wick, signaling the market's attempt to break higher but quickly retracting before continuing to rise.
This pattern usually indicates a situation where short traders are liquidated as the price breaks above the previous high, forcing a continuation of the bullish trend.
The chart marks this pattern with a triangle below the wick to highlight the bullish trend continuation as it signals the absorption of short positions.
Downward Liquidity Grab (Trend Continuation)
A downward liquidity grab happens when the price forms a large lower wick, briefly moving lower before reversing and continuing the downtrend.
This pattern represents the liquidity absorption where long traders are forced out of their positions, confirming the continuation of a bearish trend.
The market takes the liquidity below the previous low before moving lower, indicating that the bearish momentum remains intact.
Reversal and Liquidity Zones
Large wicks, especially those at reversal points, can indicate areas of high liquidity where significant buy or sell pressure is present.
These wicks often suggest that a large number of market orders were filled at these levels, and the price may either reverse from these points (in the case of a failed liquidity grab).
Buy & Sellside
The Buyside & Sellside feature introduces a clear visualization of recent support and resistance levels on the chart, accompanied by a percentage indicator showing the strength of each side.
Buyside Levels: Represent areas of strong buyer interest (support zones), highlighted in green, showing where price may find a floor.
Sellside Levels: Highlight areas of significant seller pressure (resistance zones), shown in red, indicating potential price ceilings.
Each zone includes a percentage metric to quantify the relative strength of buyers or sellers in that region, aiding decision-making.
Dynamic Liquidity Map
The Dynamic Liquidity Map is a sophisticated tool designed to identify where significant buy and sell orders are likely clustered. By analyzing historical price action and volume distribution, it highlights "areas of interest" that have not yet been mitigated by current price action.
Liquidity HeatMap
The heatmap projects horizontal lines from historical reversal points. These lines represent potential liquidity pools.
Intensity Coloring: The lines use a gradient color system. Darker/faded colors indicate lower historical activity, while bright, vibrant colors indicate high-volume nodes or "liquidity explosions."
Dynamic Mitigation: Lines are automatically removed (mitigated) once price crosses through them.
Volume Labels: Significant levels are labeled with a percentage (e.g., 100%) indicating the relative strength of the liquidity at that specific price bin.
Liquidity Profile
Two-Tone Liquidity Profile & Delta Distribution Tooltips
Institutional Order Flow Mapping: Tracks the structural weight of resting institutional liquidity rather than basic historical traded volume.
Buy/Sell Bar Segmentation: Horizontal spikes match clustered chart liquidity perfectly, now split into distinct buy and sell volume segments for real-time delta analysis.
On-Hover Value Breakdowns: Hover over any label along the profile margin to instantly reveal a tooltip detailing the exact percentage distribution of buying and selling liquidity within that specific price bin.
Liquidity Bubbles (Visual Clusters)
When enabled, the "Bubbles" feature provides an immediate visual representation of volume intensity at pivot points.
Size-Based Tiers:
The circles vary in size based on the relative volume of the pivot:
Tiny: 20% - 40% Volume intensity.
Small: 40% - 60% Volume intensity.
Normal: 60% - 80% Volume intensity.
Large (Huge): 80%+ Volume intensity (Ultra High Liquidity).
Color Logic:
The bubbles match the heatmap gradient, allowing you to quickly spot where the "smart money" has previously stepped in.
Settings
Liquidity Grab
Enabled via checkbox. This feature identifies price "sweeps" where liquidity is taken from key levels.
The numerical input (e.g., 5) sets the detection sensitivity, while the two color pickers allow you to customize the visual signals for bullish and bearish grabs.
Buyside & Sellside
Enabled via checkbox.
Displays significant support and resistance zones.
Users can toggle between Adjusted (refined) or Extreme (absolute) pivot points and choose between Area or Line visualization styles using the dropdown menus.
Liquidity Map
Enable Liquidity Map
The dropdown menu selects the lookback depth (Short, Normal, or Macro),
% input (10) defines which level to filter out from the chart
Enable Liquidity Map Profile at the right side of the chart
Four-color palette defines the gradient intensity from low-activity zones to "Liquidity Explosions."
Bubbles
Enabled via checkbox.
The Threshold % input (e.g., 20) filters the display, ensuring only pivots with volume intensity above the specified percentage are shown to reduce chart noise.
