FVG + Liquidity Sweep + CISD

By LuxAlgoJun 3, 2026

FVG + Liquidity Sweep + CISD automates the PAC Method, a multi-step reversal model that anchors every setup to higher timeframe Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) 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: 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.
