Institutional liquidity grabs leave footprints. Sweep & Shift detects them in real time — marking the sweep, confirming the structure shift, and showing you exactly where the entry sits.
Price sweeps a liquidity level, structure shifts with displacement, and the indicator fires the entry.
Price grabs resting orders beyond a key level — session highs/lows, previous day levels, equal highs/lows — then closes back inside. The institutional footprint is captured the moment it happens.
A sweep alone isn't a trade. The indicator waits for a strong displacement candle that breaks the most recent structure level, confirming direction. The CHoCH is marked with a reference line.
Fires on the CHoCH bar when the displacement candle is strong enough. The signal includes direction, inducement classification, and session context. One entry method. No ambiguity.
Asia, London, and New York sessions as visual boxes with live pip range labels. Times adjust automatically for UK BST and US DST. Kill zone windows gate entry signals to high-probability hours.
Previous Day High and Low rendered as dashed lines with labels. Levels fade when price crosses through — so you always know which are still in play as sweep targets.
Clustered pivots at similar prices — retail liquidity traps. Detected and connected with dotted lines, highlighting where the market is most likely to sweep before reversing.
Each sweep is graded: MINOR (session opens on a sweep), MED (previous day level swept during kill zone — the move of the day), or Standard (pivot-level sweep with fixed R:R targeting).
Compact table showing 1H, 4H, and Daily trend direction using EMA 20 vs EMA 50. Green for bullish, red for bearish. Instant context without switching charts.
Once a direction fires within a session, opposite signals are suppressed until the next kill zone opens. No contradictory BUY-then-SELL within the same London or NY session.
Liquidity sweep at previous day low, CHoCH confirmed with displacement, BUY [D] entry fired during London kill zone. Session boxes visible with pip range labels. HTF dashboard showing 1H and 4H bullish alignment.
