AetherEdge - Liquidity Sweep & Raid Detector🖊️ Overview
AetherEdge Liquidity Sweep & Raid Detector is a professional-grade smart money analysis tool that exposes institutional stop hunts (liquidity raids) and Equal Highs/Lows liquidity pools in real time. By integrating ATR-based significance filters, three-tier sweep confirmation modes, and projected stop hunt zones, it visualizes "who, where, and why" liquidity is being taken—enabling traders to follow institutional footprints with both reversal and continuation entries.
🔶 Key Features
ATR-Adaptive Pivot Detection: Extracts only meaningful swings
Equal Highs/Lows Detection: Auto-marks liquidity pools
3 Sweep Confirmation Modes: Wick Only / Close Back / Wick + Close Back
Stop Hunt Zone Projection: Boxes mark institutional revisit zones
3 Zone Management Modes: Keep / Fade on Touch / Remove on Touch
Reversal Candle Requirement: Filters false sweeps
Break of Structure (BOS): Auto-detects structural shifts
ATR Wick Size Filter: Eliminates shallow sweeps
Pending Sweep System: Configurable max-bars window for close-back confirmation
Statistics Dashboard: Bull/Bear sweep counts, EQH/EQL, active hot zones
🧠 Technical Architecture
This indicator implements core ICT/SMC concepts via pivot array management and a pending state machine to deliver a professional liquidity-tracking engine.
Significance Pivot Layer:
ta.pivothigh/low for confirmed swing detection
ATR × multiplier filters out "noise swings"
Arrays manage 50 historical pivots (price, bar, swept flag)
Equal Highs/Lows Detection:
Scans pivots within eqLookback
|currentPivot - prevPivot| ≤ ATR × tolerance for equality
Draws horizontal line at midpoint with optional right-extension
Sweep Detection Engine:
Wick Only: Wick breaks pivot + immediate inside close + reversal confirmation
Close Back: Wick breaks, then close returns inside within sweepMaxBars
Wick + Close Back: Both conditions met (highest precision)
Pending arrays handle multi-stage confirmation asynchronously
Stop Hunt Zones:
Box generated at sweep point with zoneHeightATR height
Extended zoneExtend bars right
Lifecycle managed via Fade / Remove / Keep on touch
BOS Detection: Unswept pivot's close-break marks structural shift
Memory Management: maxObjects FIFO-prunes all lines/labels/boxes
⚙️ Recommended Settings & Tuning Guide
Crypto Defaults:
BTC (15M–1H): pivLen=10, atrMinMult=0.3, sweepMode=Wick + Close Back (standard)
ETH (5M–15M): pivLen=8, sweepMaxBars=4 for faster confirmation
SOL (high-vol): atrMinMult=0.5, sweepMinWick=0.4 for stricter filter
XRP (range): eqTolerance=0.15 to relax equality detection
Sweep Mode Selection:
Wick Only: High frequency, day trading / scalping
Close Back: Medium frequency, most balanced
Wick + Close Back: Highest precision, swing trading (recommended)
Zone Management:
Fade on Touch: Preserves history, tracks revisits (recommended)
Remove on Touch: Cleaner charts
Keep: Full retention, long-term analysis
Tuning:
Too many signals: atrMinMult=0.5, sweepMinWick=0.5
Too few signals: requireReverse=false, sweepMaxBars=5
Better EQ accuracy: eqMinDistance=5 to suppress clusters
💡 How to Use in Practice
Bullish Sweep (Low Grab) → Long: Buy the bounce after institutions raid downside stops
Bearish Sweep (High Grab) → Short: Sell after upside stop hunt
EQH/EQL → Liquidity Targets: Price likely magnetizes here
Stop Hunt Zone Revisit: Once-swept zones often retest
BOS + Sweep Combined: Strongest structural shift confirmation
AetherEdge Synergy:
WaveTrend Enhanced OS Extreme + Bullish Sweep = max-conviction bottom
Self-Evolving S/R Grid strong support + Low Grab = institutional-sync entry
SuperTrend Multi-Factor Bull flip + BOS Up = trend ignition capture
Multi-TF Strategy: 1H EQH for liquidity map → 15M sweep for entry → 5M for precision timing
⚠️ Important Notes
Pivot Lag: pivLen-bar delay inherent (no real-time detection)
ATR Filter Dependency: Sweep detection drops in low-volatility regimes
Close Back Pending: Auto-cancels after sweepMaxBars—watch for missed signals
EQ Over-detection: Large eqLookback may match outdated pivots
Zone Revisit: Probabilistic, not guaranteed
Sweeps in Strong Trends: Can be confused with breakouts—context confirmation required
