HTF Sweep Signals
By LuxAlgoJul 3, 2026
HTF Sweep Signals watches the previous higher timeframe high and low and prints a signal whenever one side gets run: price pierces the level, fills the resting orders, then closes back inside. That is a liquidity sweep, and catching it from a lower timeframe normally means juggling two charts; this build does the tracking for you and overlays the HTF range on the timeframe where you trade.
How to Trade the HTF Sweep Signals?
- Triangle below a bar (bullish sweep): price traded below the previous HTF low, then closed back above it. Stops taken, downside rejected.
- Triangle above a bar (bearish sweep): price ran the previous HTF high and closed back under it.
- Range overlay: on timeframes below the chosen one, a box spans the HTF candle's high–low range with a line at its open for orientation.
- Trend Signals enabled: bullish sweeps print only after a bullish HTF candle (close above open) and bearish sweeps only after a bearish one, keeping signals with the broader momentum.
A sweep that cannot hold beyond the level is the classic swing failure read: the breakout found no acceptance, and that failure is exactly what the marker flags. Signals appear immediately when your chart matches the chosen timeframe, while lower timeframe charts get the full visual overlay.
