What does the Liquidity Sweeps indicator measure?
Measures liquidity taking above or below structural maximums/minimums. It detects when price breaks a key level by a few ticks and then quickly returns, leaving a signal of an institutional trap.
How to use it for Institutional Trading
- Trade the Reversal: After a liquidity sweep at a previous high, the most likely scenario is a corrective move or a trend change.
- Confirmation with Volume: The indicator highlights whether the sweep was made with a peak in volume, confirming that institutions took advantage of the liquidity of the stops.
- High Probability Entries: Allows you to enter the market just when the majority of traders have been expelled, reducing risk.
Why is it superior to other indicators?
Unlike other indicators that only mark breakouts, S4T's Liquidity Sweeps uses combined price and delta analysis. It only flags a sweep if it detects that there was a massive order execution on the end before the reversal, thus filtering out simple low interest failed breakouts.
