The Liquidity Sweeps Indicator for MetaTrader 5, developed by the LuxAlgo project, is a precision tool designed to reveal hidden liquidity grabs that traditional indicators often miss. By analyzing swing points and wick behavior, this indicator detects aggressive stop hunts and liquidity collection zones—giving traders a clear view of institutional footprints.
Whether you're trading reversals or momentum continuations, this tool helps uncover where the market is manipulating liquidity before making its next move.
How the Liquidity Sweeps Indicator Works
Liquidity sweeps occur when price briefly breaks above a swing high or below a swing low to trigger clustered stop losses before reversing or accelerating.
- Teal Dot Below Swing Low → Bullish liquidity sweep (sell-side liquidity cleared).
- Red Dot Above Swing High → Bearish liquidity sweep (buy-side liquidity targeted).
These signals frequently precede strong directional moves—especially when combined with rejection candles, structure breaks, or volume confirmation.
Extended Liquidity Zones
Beyond simple sweep signals, the indicator also draws horizontal shaded regions that extend from the original wick that caused the sweep. These extended Liquidity Zones often act as:
- Short-term support or resistance
- Re-entry areas for continuation trades
- Key levels for exit refinement
- Confluence zones when combined with structure or supply/demand
When multiple sweeps overlap within the same region, it can signal concentrated liquidity—an area where volatility and opportunity increase significantly.
