Stophunt WickAcknowledgement
This indicator is dedicated to my friend Alexandru who saved me from one of these liquidation raids 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 Liquidation Wick?
It's that fast stop-hunting wick that stophunts 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 Liquidation 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 stophunt 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.

Multi-Timeframe High Low (@JP7FX)Multi-Timeframe High Low Levels (@JP7FX)
This Price Action indicator displays high and low levels from a selected timeframe on your current chart.
These levels COULD represent areas of potential liquidity, providing key price points where traders can target entries, reversals, or continuation trades.
Key Features:
Display high and low levels from a selected timeframe.
Customize line width, colors for high and low levels, and label text color.
Enable or disable the display of high levels, low levels, and labels.
Receive alerts when the price takes out high or low levels.
How to use:
It is important to note that using this indicator on it's own is not advisable. Instead, it should be combined with other tools and analysis for a more comprehensive trading strategy.
Possibly look to use my MTF Supply and Demand Indicator to look for zones to trade from at these levels?
If the price breaks above a high level, you might consider entering a long position, with the expectation that the price will continue to rise. Conversely, if the price breaks below a low level, you may think about entering a short position, anticipating further downward movement.
On the other hand, you can also use high or low levels to look for reversal trades, as these areas can represent attractive liquidity zones.
By identifying these key price points, you could take advantage of potential market reversals and capitalise on new trading opportunities.
Always remember to use this indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools for the best results.
Additionally, you can enable alerts to notify you when the price takes out high or low levels, helping you stay informed about significant price movements.
This indicator could be a valuable tool for traders looking to identify key price points for potential trading opportunities.

Сoncentrated Market Maker Strategy by oxowlConcentrated Market Maker Strategy by oxowl. This script plots an upper and lower bound for liquidity provision, and checks for rebalancing conditions. It also includes alert conditions for when the price crosses the upper or lower bounds.
Here's an overview of the script:
It defines the input parameters: liquidity range percentage, rebalance frequency in minutes, and minimum trade size in assets.
It calculates the upper and lower bounds for liquidity provision based on the liquidity range percentage.
It initializes variables for the last rebalance time and price.
It defines a rebalance condition based on the frequency and current price within the specified range.
If the rebalance condition is met, it updates the last rebalance time and price.
It plots the upper and lower bounds on the chart as lines and adds price labels for both bounds.
It defines alert conditions for when the price crosses the upper or lower bounds.
Finally, it creates alert conditions with appropriate messages for when the price crosses the upper or lower bounds.
Concentrated liquidity is a concept often used in decentralized finance (DeFi) market-making strategies. It allows liquidity providers (LPs) to focus their liquidity within a specific price range, rather than across the entire price curve. Using an indicator with concentrated liquidity can offer several advantages:
Increased capital efficiency: Concentrated liquidity allows LPs to allocate their capital within a narrower price range. This means that the same amount of capital can generate more significant price impact and potentially higher returns compared to providing liquidity across a broader range.
Customized risk exposure: LPs can choose the price range they feel most comfortable with, allowing them to better manage their risk exposure. By selecting a range based on their market outlook, they can optimize their positions to maximize potential returns.
Adaptive strategies: Indicators that support concentrated liquidity can help traders adapt their strategies based on market conditions. For example, they can choose to provide liquidity around a stable price range during low-volatility periods or adjust their range when market conditions change.
To continue integrating this script into your trading strategy, follow these steps:
Import the script into your TradingView account. Navigate to the Pine editor, paste the code, and save it as a new script.
Apply the indicator to a trading pair chart. You can customize the input parameters (liquidity range percentage, rebalance frequency, and minimum trade size) based on your preferences and risk tolerance.
Set alerts for when the price crosses the upper or lower bounds. This will notify you when it's time to take action, such as adding or removing liquidity, or rebalancing your position.
Monitor the performance of your strategy over time. Adjust the input parameters as needed to optimize your returns and manage risk effectively.
(Optional) Integrate the script with a trading bot or automation platform. If you're using an API-based trading solution, you can incorporate the logic and conditions from the script into your bot's algorithm to automate the process of providing concentrated liquidity and rebalancing your positions.
Remember that no strategy is foolproof, and past performance is not indicative of future results. Always exercise caution when trading and carefully consider your risk tolerance.
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.
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.
Emibap's Uniswap V3 HEX/USDC 3% Liquidity PoolThis script will display a histogram of the Uniswap V3 HEX / USDC 3% liquidity pool.
Similar to what you can see in the liquidity section of the Uniswap pool page but conveniently rendered alongside your chart.
It's meant to be used on any HEX / USDC chart only.
One of the main motivations for using this in your HEX / USDC chart is to get an idea of the current sentiment: If most of the volume is below the price it might be an indication of an upcoming move up, for instance.
I'll try to update the liquidity regularly; if possible several times a day.
Using the 4h, daily, or weekly time frames is highly recommended.
The options are straightforward:
Histogram bars color. Default is blue
Histogram background color. Default is black at 20% opacity
Upper price limit of the diagram: Visible upper bound price limit for the histogram, based on the current price. I.E: 200%: If the price is 1, the histogram will show 3 as the upper bound
Lower price limit of the diagram. Visible lower bound price limit for the histogram, based on the current price. I.E: 99%: If the price is 1, the histogram will show 0. 01 as the upper bound
Width of the widest bar: Width (in bars) for the widest bar of the histogram. The more the higher resolution you'll get
Liquidity Heatmap (Nephew_Sam_)Liquidity Heatmap
This indicator plots a heatmap of resting liquidity above and below swing lows and multiple timeframes
The darker the color is or the larger the zone is, the more liquidity is lying there. If you think there are too many zones, you can increase the timeframes in the settings or just disable it.
Liquidity simply means orders such as stoplosses, buy/sell stops.

HTF Liquidity Levels█ OVERVIEW
The indicator introduces a new representation of the previous days, weeks, and months highs & lows ( DWM HL ) with a focus on untapped levels.
█ CONCEPTS
Untapped Levels
It is popularly known that the liquidity is located behind swing points or beyond higher time frames highs/lows (in a sense, an intraday swing point is a day high/low). These key areas are said "liquid" because of the accumulation of resting orders, mainly in the form of stop-loss orders. And this more significantly on higher time frames which have more time for stacking orders. As the result, the indicator aims to keep track of untapped levels that have their liquidity states intact.
Liquidity Pools
Once a liquidity level identified, or better, a cluster of liquidity levels work as magnets for the market. The price is more likely to make its way towards heavier pockets of liquidity, by proximity (the closest liquidity pool), and by difficulty (path with less obstacles). This phenomenon is referred as liquidity run, raid, purge, grab, hunt, sweep, you name it. Consequently, the indicator can help you frame a directional bias during your trading session.
█ NOTES
Drawings
Once a level is tapped, it is highlighted. At the end of each day, all tapped levels are cleared.
Makuchaku's trading tools - Liquidity visualizerThis indicator plots those pivots/fractals which have not been taken out by price, whereby showing where are the clusters of highs/lows where stop orders (or liquidity) could be hiding.
This is a fantastic tool for taking reversal trades.
Demand & Supply Zones [eyes20xx]Demand & Supply Zones
This indicator helps to identify large moves driven by institutions.
What qualifies as a zone?
If the price moves (open to close) by more than a certain % in one candle or in a bullish / bearish run of candles, the zone is marked as a Demand or Supply zone .
0.8% is good for Crypto and Forex might be better with 0.4%. Play around with the % to match your requirements.
Active zones
A zone remains active until it is hit by the price. When it becomes inactive, the zone background becomes transparent.
Zone lines
Lines are displayed if the zone is active and within a certain % of the close. 3% is a good setting for Crypto.
A maximum of two lines are displayed for each zone type.
