Stop Hunt Indicator ║ BullVision

🧠 Overview

The Stop Hunt Indicator (SmartTrap Radar) is an original tool designed to identify potential liquidity traps caused by institutional stop hunts. It visually maps out historically significant levels where price has repeatedly reversed or rejected — and dynamically detects real-time sweep patterns based on volume, structure, and candle rejection behavior.

This script does not repurpose existing public indicators, nor does it use default TradingView built-ins such as RSI, MACD, or MAs. Its core logic is fully proprietary and was developed from scratch to support discretionary and data-driven traders in visualizing volatility risks and manipulation zones.

🔍 What the Indicator Does

• This indicator identifies and visualizes potential stop hunt zones using:
  
• Historical structure analysis: Swing highs/lows are identified via a configurable lookback period.
  
• Liquidity level tracking: Once detected, levels are monitored for touches, age, and volume strength.
  
• Proprietary scoring model: Each level receives a real-time significance score based on:
  

Age (how long the level has held)
Number of rejections (touches)
Relative volume strength
Proximity to current price

The glow intensity of plotted levels is dynamically mapped based on this score. Bright glow = higher institutional interest probability.



⚙️ Stop Hunt Detection Logic
A stop hunt is flagged when all of the following are met:

1. Price sweeps through a high/low beyond a user-defined penetration threshold
   
2. Wick rejection occurs (i.e., candle closes back inside the level)
   
3. Volume spikes above the average in a recent window
   

The script automatically:

• Detects bullish stop hunts (below support) and bearish ones (above resistance)
  
• Marks detected sweeps on-chart with optional 🔰/🚨 signals
  
• Adjusts glow visuals based on score even after the sweep occurs
  

These sweeps often precede local reversals or high-volatility zones — this is not predictive, but rather a reactive mapping of market manipulation behavior.

📌 Why This Is Not Just Another Liquidity Tool

Unlike typical liquidity heatmaps or S/R indicators, this script includes:

• A proprietary significance score instead of fixed rules
  
• Multi-layer glow rendering to reflect level importance visually
  
• Real-time scoring updates as new volume and touches occur
  
• Combined volume × rejection × structure logic to validate stop hunts
  
• Fully customizable detection logic (lookback, wick %, volume filters, max bars, etc.)
  

This indicator provides a specialized view focused solely on visualizing trap setups — not generic trend signals.

🧪 Usage Recommendations
To get started:

1. Add the indicator to your chart (volume-enabled instruments only)
   
2. Customize detection:
   

• Lookback Period for structure
  
• Penetration % for how far price must sweep
  
• Volume Spike Multiplier
  
• Wick rejection strength
  

Enable/disable features:

• Glow effects
  
• Hunt markers
  
• Score labels
  
• Volume highlights
  

Watch for:

• 🔰 Bullish Sweeps (below support)
  
• 🚨 Bearish Sweeps (above resistance)
  

Bright glowing zones = high-liquidity targets

This tool can be used for both confluence and risk assessment, especially around high-impact sessions, liquidation events, or range extremes.

📊 Volume Dependency Notice

⚠️ This indicator requires real volume data to function correctly. On instruments without volume (e.g., synthetic pairs), certain features like spike detection and scoring will be disabled or inaccurate.
