Liquidity Sweep Strategy (RR 1:2)

The Liquidity Sweep Strategy (RR 1:2) indicator identifies potential market reversals by detecting sweeps of historical pivot highs and lows followed by a price reclamation. This tool aims to pinpoint high-probability entry points where liquidity has been captured, suggesting a shift in market momentum.

Usage

The indicator identifies "sweeps" based on pivot points. A buy signal occurs when the price drops below the previous two pivot lows but manages to close back above them, indicating a bullish liquidity sweep. Conversely, a sell signal is triggered when the price rises above the previous two pivot highs but closes back below them, indicating a bearish liquidity sweep.

Users can utilize these signals to identify potential reversal zones. The strategy is designed around a fixed risk-to-reward ratio, typically targeting 2 points of profit for every 1 point of risk, though these parameters can be adjusted based on market volatility.

Details

The script utilizes the ta.pivotlow and ta.pivothigh functions to determine significant structural points in the market. It maintains a memory of the last two validated pivots to define the liquidity zones.

• Bullish Sweep: Price < Low1 and Price < Low2, followed by Close > Low1 and Close > Low2.
• Bearish Sweep: Price > High1 and Price > High2, followed by Close < High1 and Close < High2.

By requiring the price to close back within the previous range, the script filters out breakouts that sustain momentum, focusing instead on "fakeouts" that often precede significant reversals.

Settings

• Pivot Lookback: Determines the number of bars required on each side of a high or low to confirm it as a pivot point. Higher values result in more significant but fewer signals.
• Stop Loss (Points): Defines the fixed point distance used for risk management calculations.
• Take Profit (Points): Defines the fixed point distance used for target profit calculations.
