Session Sweeps

Session Sweeps is built on a simple observation: stops and pending orders accumulate above and below the Asian, London, and New York ranges, forming session liquidity pools that price is repeatedly drawn toward. The indicator highlights liquidity-sweep events at those extremes - brief runs beyond a session boundary that clear the resting orders - and layers market structure shifts and fair value gaps on top, giving the classic ICT session playbook one home on the chart.

How to Trade the Session Sweeps?

• Sweep zones: buyside and sellside zones mark where price pierced a session high or low and reversed; fake sweep zones can be hidden or styled separately.
• CHoCH confirmation: a market structure shift after a sweep - bullish once a low is run, bearish once a high is - acts as the follow-through cue, with Detection Length tuning pivot sensitivity.
• FVG entries: fair value gaps forming around the structure shift serve as pullback entry zones, and the FVG Width Filter keeps only proportionally significant gaps on the chart.

One documented sequence: wait for the previous session's low to be breached, look for a bullish CHoCH, then seek an entry inside a bullish fair value gap, targeting the session high with a stop at the session low or a nearby swing. The bearish sequence mirrors it.

• Market Structure Shifts (CHoCH) + Detection Length: toggle structure shifts and set their sensitivity.
• Fair Value Gaps + FVG Width Filter: gap visibility and proportional filtering.
• Sessions Tabular View: a table of session status, dates, and countdowns, plus Market Instrument Check auto-configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do fair value gaps not appear on the first bars of a chart?

The first 144 candles lack the complete ATR data the width filter needs, so gap filtering is restricted there. Once enough history accumulates, filtering behaves normally.

Which tool maps the liquidity itself?

Buyside & Sellside Liquidity concentrates on marking liquidity levels and zones in their own right. Session Sweeps assumes that context and specializes in catching the moment session extremes actually get run.
