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.
Liquidity
ICT Liquidty H/L [MK]indicator shows liquidity levels at pivot highs and lows on the chart timeframe. Levels are drawn as a horizontal line up to the last active bar. Once a level has been passed through, the level is highlighted. The liquidity level will remain highlighted until a pre determined amount of bars have closed after the level was passed. These liquidity levels can be used as targets for trades, or as potential reversal points. Liquidity (or resting orders) at key pivot points form a key part of the ICT trading system. Users can configure the indicator to display the untapped liquidity levels, or they can be completely hidden until they are passed through.
New York ZonesHello traders, here is a indicator which is based on a strategy I found on a forum. I hope you will find it useful.
Rules to Follow:
1) Wait for signal . Signal appears at 9:30. (New York time)
2) Wait for price to mitigate the zone
3) Sell anywhere in this range after or during zone mitigation.
4) Keep stop Wide to avoid getting stopped out.
5) Target the previous liquidity with minimum 3RR.
6) Look for opposite trade if zone fails to hold , with proper analysis
Note :
1) This Indicator is made specifically for US30 and US100 (Indices) but can be used with other pairs as well (need back testing)
2) I would not recommend to place the trade right away as soon as signal appears , wait for liquidity to be taken out and place a trade after confirmation.
3) Trades can be placed below the zone as well but the probability of entry may decrease ,while increasing the accuracy.
4) Use timeframe <= 5 min to take entries.
Trade scenarios
Perfect trade :
Price failed to hold, you got stopped out and market changes direction :
Price respect zone in future:
Simulated Liquidations V1.0 [CE]Simulated Liquidations is an custom calculation done on crypto symbols to bring liquidation data that is not available directly,
using a denomination of time/oi/volume/location the indicator aims to calculate accurately shaped zones for where liquidations are occurring.
Using the indicator can be useful to determine where moves may continue e.g. short side liquidations leading to short covering increasing the buying pressure.
In areas where traders may see buying demand + short covering this can lead to a "squeeze" and continued upward momentum.
Additionally we can use the liquidations in reversion strategies as well, as liquidations are sort after, when liquidity is then taken, we can see this as an opportunity to play reversion
with the necessary liquidity being "hunted" and no longer a magnet for price to revisit therefore price can then return to the mean.
The indicator also has 2 available modes, relative liquidations/normal.
The relative mode can be seen above which will make liquidations more visible when larger/significant, as well as highlight the liquidations when hitting extreme thresholds.
Below is an example with relative mode off.
To Do:
Add Custom Alerts
Add User Customizable Relative zones
User customizable relative zones will be added soon, this will allow users to determine the thresholds for highlighting relative zones.
A screenshot of another chart is shown on the indicator, this is to highlight its accuracy in simulating liquidations.
Swing Levels and Liquidity - By LeviathanThis script will plot pivot points (swing highs and lows) in the form of lines, boxes or labels to help you identify market structure, “liquidity” areas, swing failure patterns, etc. You are also able to see the volume traded at each pivot point, which will help you compare their significance.
Bars Left-Right
A pivot high (swing high) is a bar in a series of bars that has a higher value than the bars around it and a pivot low (swing low) is a bar in a series of bars that has a lower value than the bars surrounding it. The Bars Left and Bars Right parameters are used to define the number of bars on the left and right sides of a pivot point that the function should consider when identifying pivot highs and lows in a time series. For example, if Bars Left is set to 5 and Bars Right is set to 6, the function will look for a pivot point by comparing the value of the current bar with the values of the 5 bars to its left and the 6 bars to its right. If the value of the current bar is higher than all of these bars, it is considered a pivot high point. These parameter can be used to adjust the sensitivity of the script (lowering the Bars Left and Bars Right parameters will give you more swing points and increasing the Bars Left and Bars Right parameters will give you fewer swing points).
”Show Boxes” - This will draw a box above the swing high and a box below the swing low to help you visualise a large area of interest around swing points. Additional box types and the width of the box can be adjusted in Appearance settings below.
”Show Lines” - This will draw a horizontal line at the level of each swing high and swing low.
”Show Labels” - This will plot a circle at the high point of each swing high and at the low point of each swing low.
”Show Volume” - This will display the amount of volume traded in a given swing point candle. It can help you identify the significance of a given swing point by comparing it to the volumes of other swing points.
”Extend Until Filled” - This will extend the swing point levels until they are mitigated by the price. Turning it off will continue plotting the levels just a few more bars after a swing point occurs.
”Appearance” - You can show/hide swing points, choose the colors of labels, lines and boxes, choose the size and positioning of the text, choose line and box appearance (adjust the Box Width when switching between timeframes!) and more.
More updates coming soon (MTF, more data…)
The Zone Seeker Supply and Demand - by Karoshi TradingThe Zone Seeker Supply and Demand - by Karoshi Trading
The Zone Seeker is based on the Supply & Demand Methodology.
Activating this indicator will mark all the zones of your chart.
Depending on your setting preferences, some zones will be showed or not.
The indicator code works as follow:
We will use the number of consecutive candles, body size compared to the wick and body length to calculate the zones.
Here is an example of the indicator.
1# Consecutive Candles
The indicator will search for minimum 2 consecutive candles of the same color. That means, that both candles has to close above the opening price of each candle (Bullish) or close below there opening prices (Bearish).
2# Body Size
After the first condition is met, the Code will now look into each candles of step #1.
Each of the candles should be equal or above 50% body, to meet the second requirement.
It will calculate the body size, compared to the full candle size to determine the percentage of the body itself.
3# Body Length
If the first two steps are positive, the code will jump into the 3rd phase of the indicator, the „Body Length“. With 2 options (ATR & MA) the code will calculate within a 14 candles period the average range of the candles. With that information, the code will now compare the average range to our candles from step #1.
The candles from step #1 has to be equal or bigger than 1.5 times the range/size of the average candle to met our last requirement.
4# Demand & Supply Zones
After all 3 requirements are met, the code will search for the last candle of the opposite color, to mark a zone. As example, if we have a demand zone with all conditions met, the indicator will search for the latest candle where the price closed below the opening price.
After finding such a candle, the indicator will mark the whole range of this candle (body + wick) and create a colored rectangle with a description in it. As example „Demand CTF“
CTF = Current Time Frame
5# Testing the Zones
As a test, we only count if the price went inside or touched the zone and left it and closed outside the zone. (You can choose by yourself if touched is on or off in the settings).
The code will not count each candle as a test, but each phase where the price went into the zone and closed outside the zone. As an example, if price went into a demand zone and closes 2 candles within the zone and the 3rd candle closes above the demand zone, that will count as one test.
Each test, will change the color of the zone, to keep in track of the freshness of the zones. After the 3rd test of a zone, the zone will be automatically deleted.
6# Flipping Zones
As a flipping zone is meant, that if the demand zone get broken to the downside by 2 or less candles it will automatically turn into a fresh supply zone. Important to know is, it will only occur if the candles closes below the demand zone. Same occurs for supply zones.
7# Multiple TimeFrames
It is possible, to choose one more time frame on top of the current time frame your are actually trading.
The code will separate both time frames, so you can choose how many zones you want to see in each time frame.
The supplementary time frame zones will be in 3 different grey colors, to destinguish the zones.
Also, overlapping zones will have a little info box, to avoid overlapping text.
On top of that, you can also show "all" time frames at once.
Current Time Frame = Colorized Zones
Supplementary Time Frames = Grey Zones
Liquidation Bands (+CVD Bubbles) - By LeviathanAlong with CVD bubbles, this script plots continuous bands that represent 100x, 75x, 50x, 25x liquidation levels. The bands can serve as support/resistance, reversal points, expected volatility range and more.
The indicator uses either the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) or the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) as a base for plotting continuous lines and zones set at the approximate distance of 100x, 75x, 50x, 25x leverage liquidation prices.
These bands can help you visualize:
- Dynamic Support and Resistance levels
- Levels that the price will gravitate towards
- Expected price range (potential volatility)
- Reversal points
- ...
The "CVD Bubbles" part of this script plots circles that are based on my imitation of Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD).
CVD Bubbles will appear when buy/sell volume is increased. The larger the bubble, the more buying/selling at that candle.
"Buy Order" CVD Bubbles appear above candles and might signal:
- Late longers entering the market
- Large short liquidations (closed short=buy order)
- Large market buys getting absorbed by limit sell orders
=> Bias: potential reversal to the downside
"Sell Order" CVD Bubbles appear below candles and might signal:
- Late shorters entering the market
- Large long liquidations (closed long=sell order)
- Large market sells getting absorbed by limit buy orders
=> Bias: potential reversal to the upside
Combining Liquidation Bands and CVD Bubbles can serve you as confluence for taking a trade, but don't follow them blindly.
Settings:
"Mode" - Choose the base for Liquidation Bands (EMA or VWAP)
"EMA/CVD Length" - Choose the length (number of bars) for calculating EMA and CVD
"Level Calculation Mode" - Choose between 3 variations of calculating the distance to Liquidation Bands
"Standard Deviation Length" - Choose the length used for calculating the thresholds of CVD
"Appearance" - Choose the colors of lines, zones and CVD Bubbles
"STDEV MULT." - Multiply the thresholds used for CVD Bubble Sizes
Liquidity Swings [LuxAlgo]The liquidity swings indicator highlights swing areas with existent trading activity. The number of times price revisited a swing area is highlighted by a zone delimiting the swing areas. Additionally, the accumulated volume within swing areas is highlighted by labels on the chart. An option to filter out swing areas with volume/counts not reaching a user-set threshold is also included.
This indicator by its very nature is not real-time and is meant for descriptive analysis alongside other components of the script. This is normal behavior for scripts detecting pivots as a part of a system and it is important you are aware the pivot labels are not designed to be traded in real-time themselves.
🔶 USAGE
The indicator can be used to highlight significant swing areas, these can be accumulation/distribution zones on lower timeframes and might play a role as future support or resistance.
Swing levels are also highlighted, when a swing level is broken it is displayed as a dashed line. A broken swing high is a bullish indication, while a broken swing low is a bearish indication.
Filtering swing areas by volume allows to only show significant swing areas with an higher degree of liquidity. These swing areas can be wider, highlighting higher volatility, or might have been visited by the price more frequently.
🔶 SETTINGS
Pivot Lookback : Lookback period used for the calculation of pivot points.
Swing Area : Determine how the swing area is calculated, "Wick Extremity" will use the range from price high to the maximum between price close/open in case of a swing high, and the range from price low to the minimum between price close/open in case of a swing low. "Full Range" will use the full candle range as swing area.
Intrabar Precision : Use intrabar data to calculate the accumulated volume within a swing area, this allows obtaining more precise results.
Filter Areas By : Determine how swing areas are filtered out, "Count" will filter out swing areas where price visited the area a number of time inferior to the user set threshold. "Volume" will filter out swing areas where the accumulated volume within the area is inferior to the user set threshold.
🔹 Style
Swing High : Show swing highs.
Swing Low : Show swing lows.
Label Size : Size of the labels on the chart.
Note that swing points are confirmed after Pivot Lookback bars, as such all elements are displayed retrospectively.
Open Interest Delta - By LeviathanThis script plots Open Interest Delta (change in OI). It also draws a heatmap and colors chart's candles to help you identify bars with large OI increase or decrease and apply Open Interest analysis concepts to your trading.
Positive OI Delta = net increase in open/unsettled positions
Negative OI Delta = net decrease in open/unsettled positions
[WRx450] FED net liquidityThis indicator show the net liquidity of the FED.
Net Liquidity = FED balance sheet (total asset) - Treasury General Account - Reverse Repo
Net liquidity and Net liquidity changes are shown on wednesday. Total asset and TGA report are on weekly basis, thus a daily basis would be inacurate.
it is possible to add this indicator twice and move one of them in another graphic below and show the change. It gives a clear view of the liquidity.
[WRx450] FED net liquidityThis indicator show the net liquidity of the FED.
Net liquidity = Fed balance sheet (total asset) - Treasury General Account - Reverse Repo
All sources can be select otherwise in parameter.
It is possible to show only the weekly changes in Net liquidity.
Net liquidity and Net liquidity changes are shown only on wednesday because Total asset and TGA reports are updated only on Wednesday. (updating the Net liquidity on a daily basis would be inacurate)
Liquidity Hunter - FattyTradesThis indicator is used to automatically identify and plot two forms of liquidity that will be targeted by market makers.
The first form of liquidity is based on multi-time fame highs and lows. It plots 1H, 4H, D, W, & M liquidity on an intraday chart to make it easier to identify. I believe hat liquidity is what drives the market and the most common form of this liquidity can be identified through higher time frame highs and lows. You can use whatever method you prefer to determine which liquidity pool will be targeted. When the liquidity is purged, it will be shown as dotted lines. This should not be used as traditional support/resistance, but rather as targets for the market.
The second form of liquidity is in the form of imbalances or fair value gaps. You can select a higher time frame to be plotted along with the current time frame you're viewing to identify imbalances that will likely be targeted intraday. We know that higher time frame fair value gaps work equally well as targets for market makers. When a higher time frame FVG is broken into, it can also act as a very powerful form of support and resistance. By default, when a fair value gap has been mitigated it will be removed from the chart, however this can be disabled.
Between these two forms of market maker liquidity targets on the chart, it will be easier to formulate a thesis intraday to determine where the market will move. It can help minimize the amount of switching between higher time frames that needs to be done, allowing you to identify targets while trading on your favorite intraday time frame for optimal risk/reward.
In the near future, I will build in alerting mechanism to alert when liquidity on higher time frames as been purged/mitigated.
ICT SM Trades PREMIUMIndicator looks for ICT & Smart Money trades on any timeframe. These types of trades reveal how the big institutions, banks and hedge funds trade with big money. If they want their very big positions to be filled they need to find areas in chart where the majority of the money is sitting. Where is it? Where is the majority of orders placed? Right below supports or right above resistance, these orders are stoplosses or stop orders. So they need to push the price to these areas, take all the available stoplosses and trigger all the available stop orders in order to fill their positions and then push the price to the opposite side to make profit (and retail to lose).
Indicator looks for support or resistance (S/R) areas which are represented by dotted lines. This S/R areas are created by minimum of 2 pivot high/low (H/L). Every pivot H/L that creates the S/R area is marked with diamond label. This S/R area is called liquidity. After liquidity is created, indicator looks for liquidity grab (mostly represented by fast spike to this area - it is labeled with x-cross) and then price should go fast to the opposite side of the created structure. Indicator considers as a created structure everything that was created on the other side of the candles from the oldest pivot H/L which creates particular liquidity. For example, if liquidity is created with 3 pivot highs, indicator looks at the oldest pivot high and from there it is looking for the lowest low. Under this lowest low is dashed line which means that this level should be broken with closed candle. This action is called market structure shift (MSS), when the price shifted very fast from highs to lows. After MSS, when the price went fast to one direction, there were some imbalances in prices, in our example selling pressure was a lot bigger than buying pressure and there were created some long untested bearish candles. This untested areas in candles are called imbalances or gaps of fair value gaps (FVG). These are labeled with rectangles. It is expected that these gaps will be tested in near future to "balance the market".
We can put limit orders into these gaps (or into order blocks in PREMIUM indicator) and await some retracement after MSS to open our positions and after the positions are opened we can expect trend continuation in the direction where market structure shift was made (away from liquidity grab). So stoplosses can be placed above/below liquidity grab candle (marked with x-cross).
Alerts can be set for MSS to Long & Short and for liquidity grabs to Long & Short.
All settings of this indicator should be self-explanatory and most of them have tooltips for better understanding.
Liquidation Levels V2 (Ultimate Edition)!(version 2.0) - Covers ALL pairs from Binance futures (USDT)!
The Liquidations Level Indicator is a new, fresh and innovative indicator that adds a new perspective into the charts.
The indicator plots (in real time !), the liquidation points/levels that are "created" for every new position that is currently opened in futures trading of a cryptocurrency.
The calculation and the plots work for both directions (either longs or shorts).
How it is done: We calculate all new large positions opened by other traders, by taking into account the Open Interest from major exchanges.
For each new large position that is opened, the indicator plots in the chart the liquidation levels for the specific position per leverage level (100x, 50x or 25x).
This is exactly what the Market Maker knows!
In crypto, the Market Maker, tends to push the price to these levels, making these levels targets.
You could combined it with any other Technical Analysis indicator you used to trade.
Add it to your favorites indicators and enjoy the price action. You will soon realize that our indicator can be a game-changer indicator !
Soon, we will add some here in TradingView, some ideas and strategies that we have already used with this indicator with success.
Here, a new game starts for you..and the Market Maker. Don't trade against him, trade with him (!)
_____________________________
Notes:
_____________________________
1) Second version supports allt the USDT crypto that are tradable on Binance futures (at least).
Right now you can use any of them (e.g. BTC , ETH, BNB, XRP, ADA, SOL, DOT, DOGE, MATIC, LTC, ATOM, , etc. )
paired with one of the above stablecoins:
USD, USDT, USDC , or BUSD.
2) You can adjust the lower limit to take into account for new positions (total amount is in millions USD/USDT/ USDC ), so you can filter the positions and display only the large ones.
This adjustment is up to you and it is different for each coin, as they have huge differences in Total Market Cap and the Total amount trading per day.
BTC is almost always first, and then ETH, Luna, etc. From our experience a amount of 5m in USD fits for BTC , 2m USD for ETH, and you can of course switch it.
3) Don't use the indicator with any other pair, except the above ( /USD, /USDT, /BUSD or / USDC ). The Open Interest is calculated per USD, so if you project this over a crazy pair (e.g. BTC /LTC) it will not project anything.
4) Initial version supports reading the Open Interest from Binance. Upcoming versions will expand this, as an option.

This was our first effort to build something for the crypto community, that can be useful and of course free.
We hope we like it. If you like the indicator, just spread it.
Liquidation Levels - By LeviathanThis indicator generates liquidation levels of over-leveraged traders and utilizes a variety of different tools to analyze data such as Open Interest and Volume to provide an edge in your trading system and help you with valuable market insights.
The concept of this indicator is inspired by the platform Hyblock and their Liquidation Levels tool.
The script offers a lot of flexibility in settings, so please read these instructions and test out different parameters to see what works best for you. Here is a short overview of all inputs, one by one.
PRIMARY SOURCE OF DATA
This input allows you to choose the primary source of data that the script uses to calculate liquidation levels. I encourage you to test them all and see which works best for the assets and timeframes you trade. You can also regularly switch between to see confluences.
My personal favorite inputs (and also most accurate ones) are Open Interest, Open Interest + Volume (OI+VOL), and Open Interest + CVD (OI+CVD), as they utilize Open Interest in the calculations, which is the most important factor when it comes to analyzing position opening/closing and market activity in general. The other options that do not include Open Interest (Volume, CVD) were mainly added to provide the possibility to use the indicator on pairs where OI data is not available. Please note that this indicator is built on Tradingview and can only use data (e.g., Open Interest) provided by Tradingview, which is unfortunately quite limited. This is why I recommend using the script with OI-based data source inputs on Binance's perpetual futures pairs, as this is where OI data is available. The volume-based data source inputs can be used on spot pairs, forex, indices, and other markets, where Open Interest data is not provided.
To summarize the use of Primary Source of Data input:
1. Open Interest - use on Binance’s perpetual futures or anywhere else where OI data is available
2. OI + VOL - use on Binance’s perpetual futures or anywhere else where OI data is available
3. OI + CVD - use on Binance’s perpetual futures or anywhere else where OI data is available
4. CVD - use on any pair you wish
5. Volume - use on any pair you wish
DIRECTIONAL BIAS
If turned on, the Directional bias function uses volume and some other calculations to predict which side’s liquidation levels are more likely to be filled and only keep those levels on your chart.
- Directional Bias for Liquidation Levels
Turned ON: only one side’s liquidation levels are shown on the chart
Turned OFF: all liquidation levels are shown on the chart
- Directional Bias for Liquidation Level Bubbles
Turned ON: only one side’s liquidation level bubbles are shown on the chart
Turned OFF: all liquidation level bubbles are shown on the chart
I've separated directional bias options between Liquidation Levels and Liquidation Level Bubbles because sometimes it can be useful to have one of them ON and the other one OFF.
REDUCE SENSITIVITY
The Reduce Sensitivity option allows you to multiply the thresholds for "Smaller Size Liquidation," "Medium Size Liquidation," and "Large Size Liquidation" simultaneously. This is a useful feature as it enables you to easily filter larger positions and their liquidations without having to manually alter the standard deviation multipliers, which will be discussed in further detail later in the article.
The default value is 1, which means that it does nothing.
Increasing it above 1 will increase all thresholds and therefore generate fewer liquidation levels but with larger relative sizes.
Decreasing it below 1 will lower all thresholds and therefore generate more liquidation levels but with both smaller and larger relative sizes.
BASE
This input gives you the possibility to choose between four different bases, from which the liquidation levels will be generated.
CLOSE ⇒ Levels are plotted above and below the close of the candle
HALF ⇒ Levels are plotted above and below the middle of the candle ((high+low)/2)
VWAP ⇒ Levels are plotted above and below the volume-weighted average price
VWMA ⇒ Levels are plotted above and below the volume-weighted moving average
I suggest that you backtest them and see what works best for you.
LIQUIDATION LEVEL BUBBLES
If enabled, "Liquidation Level Bubbles" mark the beginning of a new liquidation level and indicate the relative size of liquidations that would occur if the price were to reach that level.
Liquidation Bubbles or Liquidation Levels in general appear when there is a large influx of new positions and logically, (significant) new positions lead to (significant) new liquidation levels. Liquidation Bubbles can be used to estimate the size and therefore significance of a given liquidation level. It could be argued that the price is more likely to be attracted to larger Liquidation Level Bubbles. While this is often true, it is not always the case as the strong momentum created by large positions can sustain for a prolonged period before reversing and filling the remaining levels Similarly to other features in this indicator, significant new positions are identified and filtered using standard deviation thresholds and their multipliers. New positions are considered significant when newly opened positions exceed the threshold for "Smaller Size Liquidation," leading to the creation of new liquidation levels and bubbles.
1. If new positions exceed the first standard deviation multiplier ("Smaller Size Liquidation Level"), but do not exceed “Medium Size Liquidation Level”, a smaller-sized bubble appears.
2. If new positions exceed the second standard deviation multiplier (”Medium Size Liquidation Level”), but do not exceed “Large Size Liquidation Level”, a medium-sized bubble appears.
3. If new positions surpass the third standard deviation multiplier (”Large Size Liquidation Level”), a large-sized bubble appears.
Significant opened positions are identified and filtered by size using three "thresholds" in the form of standard deviations, which can be modified in the indicator settings, in the section called "Standard Deviation Multipliers".
**Increasing** the standard deviation multipliers of Liquidation Level Bubbles effectively increases the threshold for a given bubble to occur, making the conditions for its appearance stricter.
⇒ Fewer Liquidation Levels - just larger positions are included
**Decreasing** the standard deviation multipliers of Liquidation Level Bubbles effectively decreases the threshold for a given bubble to occur, making the conditions for its appearance looser.
⇒ More Liquidation Levels - smaller positions are included
Keep in mind that this should always be the case:
*Smaller Size Liquidation Level < Medium Size Liquidation Level < Large Size Liquidation Level*
MARKET ORDER BUBBLES
"Market Order Bubbles" is my experimental concept used as a way to analyze large volumes and visualize the market activity at significant levels under certain conditions. It is based on my imitation of CVD which is also used in other parts of the script. The aim of this concept is to give you an idea about the real-time heavy market buying and selling, which could indicate eg. large liquidations, large entries/exits. in order to add confluence to your analysis. Please note that this concept is still in its early stages and may be confusing as it might have been poorly implemented. I recommend taking the time to thoroughly read through this section in order to fully understand it. On the other hand, early backtesting results appear very promising, as the win rate of countertrading buy and sell bubbles under certain conditions was fairly high (70%). I will continue working on this tool, so stay tuned for future updates.
**Market Buy Order Bubbles** appear above the price and possibly signal the following:
- Short positions being liquidated (exit short = buy order)
- New traders entering late longs based on FOMO (enter long = buy order)
- New short positions (sells) of “smarter” traders absorbing liquidated/closed shorts (buys)
⇒ Possible reversal to the downside - look for the liquidation levels of longs to get filled
**Market Sell Order Bubbles** appear below the price and possibly signal the following:
- Long positions being liquidated (exit long = sell order)
- New traders entering late shorts based on FOMO (enter short = sell order)
- New long positions (buys) of “smarter” traders absorbing liquidated/closed longs (sells)
⇒ Possible reversal to the upside - look for the liquidation levels of shorts to get filled
significant volumes are identified and filtered using three “thresholds” in the form of standard deviations, which can be modified in indicator settings.
1. If buy/sell volume surpasses the first standard deviation (”**Smaller Size Market Orders**”), then the **smaller-sized bubble** appears.
2. If buy/sell volume surpasses the second standard deviation (”**Medium Size Market Orders**”), then the **medium-sized bubble** appears.
3. If buy/sell volume surpasses the third standard deviation (”**Large Size Market Orders**”), then the **large-sized bubble** appears.
**Increasing** the standard deviation multipliers effectively increases the threshold for a given bubble to appear, making the conditions for its occurrence more strict.
**Decreasing** the standard deviation multipliers effectively decreases the threshold for a given bubble to appear, making the conditions for its occurrence more strict.
Keep in mind that this should always be the case:
*Smaller Size Market Orders < Medium Size Market Orders < Large Size Market Orders*
COLOR CANDLES
The Color Candles function is a useful and interesting feature that will enhance your analysis with additional context. If enabled, the indicator will color the chart's candles based on different data. Currently, there are three options to choose from, with more to be added in future updates.
Color Candles: OI DELTA
This option will color the candles to reflect Open Interest Delta. If there is a net increase in open positions (positive Open Interest Delta), the candle will be colored green. If there is a net decrease in open positions (negative Open Interest Delta), the candle will be colored red. It is important to note that this option only functions on pairs for which Tradingview provides OI data
Color Candles: VOLUME
This option utilizes volume data to help you identify the trend and momentum, coloring the candles accordingly - upward impulses are colored green and downward impulses are colored red. This makes it easier to recognize trend reversals and adjust your directional bias accordingly.
Color Candles: STOCH
This option uses the Stochastic Oscillator and SMA to color the candles, helping you identify momentum as upward green moves transition to downward red moves and vice versa.
LEVERAGE RATIO
Leverage ratio is another experimental concept I have added to this script. If turned on, it provides a broad insight into whether the market is relatively over-leveraged or if the leverage is relatively low. The aim is to use it as a confluence in anticipating incoming volatility and possibly use it to understand other aspects of market activity. It is still in its early stages of development and needless to say, it only works on pairs where Open Interest data is provided by Tradingview.
Crosses above price = Leverage is relatively high
Crosses below price = Leverage is relatively low
MARKET INFO SCREENER, LEVEL LEGEND, HIDE FILLED LINES
The last three inputs of Basic Settings section:
”The Market Info Screener” feature will display a small panel on the right side of your chart that provides useful data about the market, including Open Interest, Volume, the aggressive side of traders, and the Leverage Ratio. More data coming in future updates.
"Level Legend" option will display a small legend on the right side of the chart, helping you or others viewing the chart to understand what the objects on the chart mean.
"Hide Filled Lines" option will hide liquidation levels that have already been filled, only displaying the active ones in order to reduce clutter on your chart.
APPEARANCE
The “Appearance” settings offer a variety of modifications for colors, styles, and visibility.
The "Line Style" input allows you to choose the style and width of the liquidation level lines. You can also select which levels to display, as well as the color of the liquidation level lines and bubbles. The "Max Number of Lines" input allows you to specify the number of level lines you want on a chart. If you feel that there is too much clutter, you can decrease this number, and old lines will be removed. Please note that Tradingview has a built-in limit of 500 lines on a given chart, so this value cannot be set above 500. The "Market Buy/Sell Bubble Style" input can be used to modify the color and style of the market order bubbles. Enabling the "Show Settings Screener" option will display a screener with a list of all your settings on the right side of the chart, making it easier to share your preferred settings with others."
STANDARD DEVIATION MULTIPLIERS
This is where you can set the standard deviation thresholds for Liquidation Levels and Market Order Bubbles. These values can be customized to your preference, as the default values may not be suitable for your needs or you may want to experiment with different values to see more or fewer liquidation levels or market order bubbles on your chart. Personally, I sometimes use this feature to increase the Large Size Market Orders or Large Size Liquidation Levels multipliers so that large-sized bubbles are only assigned to extremely large positions or volumes.
If you want to only analyze larger positions or volumes, you can increase the "Smaller Size" multipliers, which act as a minimum threshold.
If you also want to include even smaller positions or volumes in your analysis, you can decrease the values of the "Smaller Size" multipliers, which act as a minimum threshold
Please note that the "Reduce Sensitivity" option in Basic Settings affects the standard deviation multipliers of the liquidation levels. Changing the "Reduce Sensitivity" value will equally multiply all of them (the ratio between Smaller, Medium, and Large multiplier values will remain the same)
STANDARD DEVIATION LENGTH
"Standard Deviation Length" defines the length (number of bars) used in all calculations that utilize the standard deviation function in this script. Decreasing it will generate Liquidation Levels and Liquidation Bubbles based more on recent data. Increasing it will generate Liquidation Levels and Liquidation Bubbles based on more long-term data.
CVD LENGTH
"CVD Length" refers to the length used in calculating cumulative volumes. Decreasing it will generate Liquidation Levels, Market Order Bubbles, and apply Directional bias based more on recent data. Increasing it will generate those based on more long-term data."
LEVEL CALCULATION MODES
“Level Calculation Modes” enable you to switch between three modes of calculating the distance between the base and actual liquidation levels.
COPYRIGHT
"Copyright" option will add your username to the copyright section at the bottom of the chart, giving you credit for your analysis if you post it somewhere.
Expected LiquiditySimple but effective script that displays Liquidity Premium/Discount areas in an adaptive way based on key Fibonacci levels.
You can increase or decrease the 'Period' value in the Settings to adjust the gap between the lines as you see fit.
By default the value is '46' which should suit most markets.
- The script contains Alerts which are triggered when a liquidity line is crossed by the price.
Good trading to all and don't forget, risk management remains the most important!
Session LiquidityThe “Session Liquidity” TradingView indicator by Infinity Trading creates dynamic horizontal lines at the high and low points of a specified time span within the trading day. This indicator gives the user control of three separate time spans so the user can dynamically see the highs and lows of their favorite daily time spans.
Purpose
This indicator is similar to my TradingView indicator “Futures Exchange Sessions 3.0”. In that indicator the user gets control of dynamic price boxes. For me, these boxes made it difficult to spot ICT’s Orderblocks. So instead of boxes I made independently controllable lines and now I can spot ICT Orderblocks and easily identify Liquidity Pools.
Inputs and Style
Everything about the three dynamic lines can but independently configured. Start & End Times, Line Color, Line Style, Line Width, Text Characters, Text Size, Text Color can all be adjusted. The high and low lines as well as their text labels can be individually toggled on or off for maximum control.
Timezone
All of the start and end times are in EST. Additionally, each time span line needs a specific start of each day. This is controlled by a setting called “Line Start Day Timezone” where the user sets a timezone that corresponds with the start time. In general if a timespan resides within a particular Session pick the corresponding timezone. If the users line fits in the Asian Session then choose Asia/Shanghai. If the line is within the London Session then choose Europe/London. And the same goes for the New York Session.
Special Notes
If the Line Start Time is within one candle of the Start Day Timezone in the Settings, then the line/box won’t display. So choose the previous timezone
Lines only display when the timeframe is <= 30 minute

LIQUIDATION [CFI]EN description
The indicator determines signs of liquidations of futures contracts. It works according to the author's algorithm based on: prices, volumes, levels and candlestick analysis.
The larger the diamond, the greater the volume of potential liquidations of longs or shorts was on a particular candle. There are 5 sizes of diamonds: small, conditionally equal to 1x, medium - 3x, large - 5x, huge - 15x, huge - 50x. That is, on the largest diamond, the volume of liquidations is 50 times greater than on the smallest one (namely, the volume, not to be confused with shoulders).
The price of the location of diamonds is equal to the maximum (for short liquidations) price for a particular pair, or the minimum (for long liquidations). Thus, you can immediately see to what marks the price reached on different pairs and exchanges
The indicator displays new liquidations only after the candle closes. It cannot redraw data. Diamonds with a green tint - liquidation of long contracts, with a red tint - liquidation of short contracts.
The indicator simultaneously monitors 7 pairs on 5 exchanges:
BINANCE BTC/ETH BTCUSDTPERP
BINANCE BTC/ETH BTCBUSDPERP
BYBIT BTC/ETH BTCUSD.P
BYBIT BTC/ETH BTCUSDT.P
KRAKEN BTC/ETH BTCUSDTPERP
HUOBI BTC/ETH BTCUSDT.P
OKEX BTC/ETH BTCUSD.P
As you know, it is impossible to get reliable data about the real liquidations of traders, so this script only displays the signs of these liquidations. As you can see, the price often reverses after large diamonds, so I think that the script turned out to be working and useful. The indicator is best used when trading sideways, when there is accumulation or distribution - in such situations, after collecting liquidations, the price almost always reverses and goes to collect liquidations from the opposite side
RU описание
Индикатор определяет признаки ликвидаций фьючерсных контрактов. Работает по авторскому алгоритму в основе которого лежат: цены, объёмы, уровни и свечной анализ.
Чем больше ромбик - тем больший объём потенциальных ликвидаций лонгов или шортов был на конкретной свече. Бывает 5 размеров ромбиков: маленький, условно равен 1х, средний - 3х, большой - 5х, огромный - 15х, огроменный - 50х. То есть на самом большом ромбе в 50 раз больше объём ликвидаций, чем на самом маленьком (именно объём, не путать с плечами).
Цена расположения ромбиков равна максимальной (для ликвидаций шортов) цене для конкретной пары, или минимальной (для ликвидаций лонгов). Таким образом сразу видно, до каких отметок доходила цена на разных парах и биржах
Индикатор отображает новые ликвидации только после закрытия свечи. Перерисовывать данные он не может. Ромбики с зелёным оттенком - ликвидации лонг контрактов, с красным оттенком - ликвидации шорт контрактов.
Индикатор одновременно отслеживает 7 пар на 5 биржах:
BINANCE BTC/ETH BTCUSDTPERP
BINANCE BTC/ETH BTCBUSDPERP
BYBIT BTC/ETH BTCUSD.P
BYBIT BTC/ETH BTCUSDT.P
KRAKEN BTC/ETH BTCUSDTPERP
HUOBI BTC/ETH BTCUSDT.P
OKEX BTC/ETH BTCUSD.P
Как вы знаете, нельзя получить достоверные данные о настоящих ликвидациях трейдеров, поэтому этот скрипт лишь отображает признаки этих ликвидаций. Как видите, часто цена разворачивается после крупных ромбиков, поэтому я считаю, что скрипт получился рабочим и полезным. Индикатор лучше всего применять при торговле в боковике, когда идёт накопление или распределение - в таких ситуациях почти всегда после сбора ликвидаций цена разворачивается и идёт собирать ликвидации с противоположной стороны
ICT 2022 Mentorship Model [TFO]An attempt at programming the logic from the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) 2022 Mentorship Model. It's not perfect by any means, and NOT intended as a substitute for learning the model itself. I just wanted to share what I’ve been able to make thus far. PLEASE read this description thoroughly before reaching out with questions.
How it works, as of the initial release (bullish example):
When major Sell Side Liquidity (SSL) is taken, this script will start looking for displacement through a recent swing high, marking a potential Market Structure Shift (MSS)
From the bar that created the MSS, displacement is deemed valid if the range of that bar is greater than the standard deviation of recent price history, multiplied by the “Displacement Strength” parameter. Valid displacement also requires that a Fair Value Gap (FVG) was created
Once the above conditions are met, the script will assume we are now seeking Buy Side Liquidity (BSL), and will continue to look for long entries in an FVG after subsequent displacement through swing highs. *This script will keep looking for long entries until price takes out BSL*
Similarly, if price took out BSL and displaced through a swing low, the script will only look for short entries in an FVG until an SSL pivot is reached (alerts can be configured to show these potential entries)
Settings:
Show Structure Breaks: show breaks of structure on the current timeframe
Show Liquidity Taken: show when major liquidity has been traded through
Show Liquidity Pivots: show all pivots that are being considered as liquidity
Structure Pivot Strength: determines how strong a local high/low must be for structural pivots on the current timeframe
Liquidity Multiplier: this number, multiplied by Structure Pivot Strength, will determine the pivot strength used to find valid liquidity, which should always be greater than the Structure Pivot Strength
BOS Type: “Close” will only count structure breaks when price closes through a prior pivot, whereas “Wick” will include structure breaks even if price only wicks through the prior pivot
Show Displacement: show bar coloring for valid displacement through a swing high/low
Show Displacement FVG: show FVGs that results from valid displacement
Displacement Type: use “Open to Close” to look for displacement using only the body of a candle, or “High to Low” to use the candle’s entire price range
Displacement Strength: higher values will look for more significant displacement candles, and vice versa
Max Bars to Extend FVG: if an FVG has not been overwritten or invalidated, it will extend to the right for a maximum of this many bars
I recommend lowering the values for Structure Pivot Strength and Liquidity Multiplier for larger chart timeframes, and increasing the values for smaller timeframes. I prefer keeping the displacement strength to >= 3, which would be 3 times the standard deviation of recent price history.
ICT SM Trades (liquidity find & grab, MSS, FVG, killzones)Indicator looks for ICT & Smart Money trades on any timeframe. These types of trades reveal how the big institutions, banks and hedge funds trade with big money. If they want their very big positions to be filled they need to find areas in chart where the majority of the money is sitting. Where is it? Where is the majority of orders placed? Right below supports or right above resistance, these orders are stoplosses or stop orders. So they need to push the price to these areas, take all the available stoplosses and trigger all the available stop orders in order to fill their positions and then push the price to the opposite side to make profit (and retail to lose).
Indicator looks for support or resistance (S/R) areas which are represented by dotted lines. This S/R areas are created by minimum of 2 pivot high/low (H/L). Every pivot H/L that creates the S/R area is marked with diamond label. This S/R area is called liquidity. After liquidity is created, indicator looks for liquidity grab (mostly represented by fast spike to this area - it is labeled with x-cross) and then price should go fast to the opposite side of the created structure. Indicator considers as a created structure everything that was created on the other side of the candles from the oldest pivot H/L which creates particular liquidity. For example, if liquidity is created with 3 pivot highs, indicator looks at the oldest pivot high and from there it is looking for the lowest low. Under this lowest low is dashed line which means that this level should be broken with closed candle. This action is called market structure shift (MSS), when the price shifted very fast from highs to lows. After MSS, when the price went fast to one direction, there were some imbalances in prices, in our example selling pressure was a lot bigger than buying pressure and there were created some long untested bearish candles. This untested areas in candles are called imbalances or gaps of fair value gaps (FVG). These are labeled with rectangles. It is expected that these gaps will be tested in near future to "balance the market".
We can put limit orders into these gaps and await some retracement after MSS to open our positions and after the positions are opened we can expect trend continuation in the direction where market structure shift was made (away from liquidity grab). So stoplosses can be placed above/below liquidity grab candle (marked with x-cross).
In settings of the indicator you can set whether only long or only short trades will be shown. Long trades are green and short trades are red. You can set if fair value gaps will be shown as well. The last thing in settings is session. You can set custom session which will be shown as background color on your chart.
Liquidation Levels v2 [LG]The main premise of this indicator is to identify when large cryptocurrency futures positions are opened, and then plot the liquidation levels of those positions. Market makers know this data and tend to push price towards these levels, as there is guaranteed liquidity at or approaching those levels.
Remember, we want to buy when others are forced to sell, not when they want to sell, and vice versa. Whales want to position, but need to do so in areas of larger liquidity, as they want to minimize slippage and detection as much as possible.
This indicator is very useful during times of chop, when the market is taking liquidity anywhere it exists as whales are forcing retail players out of their positions.
This indicator will also plot where positions with a total value in excess of the user-defined threshold are opened or closed, so you are able to better gauge how market participants are reacting to price levels.
Commonly used leverage levels are 100x, 50x, and 25x, but can be adjusted by the user depending on what they are noticing is attracting price levels.
This indicator is recommended for use on the 1 minute chart of the Binance BTCUSD perpetual contract pair. This will allow for as much precision as possible for the majority of users. Note: The only supported coin at this point is BTC - other coins to follow soon.
SUMMARY
1) View liquidation levels of large positions opened
2) View exact moments where large positions are opened or closed
3) Gauge available liquidity to upside or downside to better assist in determining longer term reversal points
COMING SOON
1) Additional coins
2) VPVR inspired vertical histogram or other visualization tool summarizing total available liquidity at specific price level
3) Total delta of available long and short liquidity
4) Push notifications when price takes liquidity
5) Requests as outlined in the comments
This indicator was inspired by the Hyblock Capital liquidation levels and offers an improvement upon the popular existing Liquidation Levels indicator by mlapplications.
Volume CVD and Open Interest HeatmapTaking Volume and Open Interest data to the next level of visualization I created a 'heatmap'. The indicator uses a colour gradient and plots boxes from the source candle to the current candle with one of the following data sources:
- Volume - the total volume of transactions, buys and sells
- Up Volume - the total volume from buys only
- Down Volume - the total volume from sells only
- Up/Down Volume (Net) - the difference in the Buy Volume and Sell Volume
- Cumulative Delta - the sum of the up/down volume for the previous 14 bars
- Cumulative Delta EMA - a smoothed average of the sum of the up/down volume for the previous 14 bars, over a 14 period EMA
- Open Interest - a user defined ticker, whose value is added to the plot, while this is designed to be used with Open Interest tickers, you can actually choose any ticker you want, perhaps you want to see DXY while charting Bitcoin!
You can define the lookback period, though you should make sure your timeframe for volume source data, is high enough to accommodate the lookback. TradingView will only fetch 5000 candles worth of data, so at 1 min volume data, you can only lookback 83 hours.
While similar, Volume and Open Interest are not the same. To me the simplest explanation is Volume shows the trades that have been executed and the buy/sell direction, while Open Interest shows the value of open trades that are yet to be completed.
Volume shows strength, sentiment and volatility .
Open Interest does not show direction, but does indicate momentum and liquidity in the market.
With this novel way of visualizing these, you can also now determine where all that liquidity and positions came from and therefore might have resting liquidity below.
