# FVG + Liquidity Sweep + CISD

FVG + Liquidity Sweep + CISD is an indicator on [Vela](https://vela.luxalgo.com/chart), our next-generation charting platform, written in Pine Script®.

Automates the PAC Method reversal sequence on one chart: price enters a higher timeframe fair value gap, sweeps local liquidity, confirms a change in state of delivery, and a local FVG in the new direction triggers a triangle signal. Built for lower timeframe traders who execute inside institutional points of interest.

**FVG + Liquidity Sweep + CISD** automates the PAC Method, a multi-step reversal model that anchors every setup to higher timeframe [Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/fair-value-gap/) and demands lower timeframe confirmation before printing a signal. Gap data from a user-selected higher timeframe is drawn on the execution chart and filtered by an ATR-based volatility threshold, so only gaps representing significant displacement appear.

## How to Trade the FVG + Liquidity Sweep + CISD?

- **Bullish setup (triangle-up)**: price enters a bullish HTF gap (green box), sweeps a recent low to collect sellside liquidity, moves back above the sweep candle's high, and a local bullish FVG forms in the new direction.
- **Bearish setup (triangle-down)**: inside a bearish HTF gap (red box), price sweeps a recent high for buyside liquidity, closes below the sweep candle's low, and a local bearish FVG confirms the turn.
- **Sweep boxes**: buyside and sellside sweeps are marked inside the HTF zones, so every step of the sequence is visible as it completes.

The hinge of the model is the [change in state of delivery](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/change-in-state-of-delivery/): instead of waiting for a distant swing to break, as a market structure shift requires, it keys off the immediate reversal of the candle that swept liquidity, keeping entries close to the turn itself.

## FVG + Liquidity Sweep + CISD Settings

- **HTF FVG Timeframe**: the timeframe used to detect anchor gaps (for example, a 15-minute or 1-hour anchor over a 1-to-5-minute execution chart).
- **FVG Volatility Threshold**: the ATR multiplier setting the minimum size of a valid HTF gap.
- **Max FVG Extension (Bars)**: how far an unmitigated gap projects forward before it stops being drawn.
- **Liquidity Lookback**: the number of bars defining the local highs and lows eligible for sweeps.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Why does the indicator require every step of the sequence?

Each stage filters the one before it: the HTF gap supplies the institutional point of interest, the sweep shows liquidity being collected inside it, and the CISD plus local gap confirm that delivery has actually flipped. A triangle prints only when the full sequence completes.

### Can I study the sweep component on its own?

Yes. The [Liquidity Sweeps](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/liquidity-sweeps/) indicator is dedicated to detecting swept highs and lows, and it pairs naturally with this tool when you want sweeps highlighted outside HTF gap zones as well.

### How do I access FVG + Liquidity Sweep + CISD?

The tool is free for every LuxAlgo Library user. Add it from this page and run it on the execution timeframe your setups call for. You can also copy the source code from this page and run it anywhere Pine Script® runs.
