Liquidity Heatmap LTF
By LuxAlgoMay 31, 2022
Liquidity Heatmap LTF highlights, on your working chart, the candle bodies that carried the most volume on a lower timeframe of your choosing, a chart-built cousin of the resting-liquidity heatmap that estimates areas of concentrated interest from traded volume rather than order-book feeds. The heaviest zones print as column heatmaps, an immediate picture of where the real business was done.
How to Trade the Liquidity Heatmap LTF?
- Highlighted bodies (yellow by default): the lower-timeframe candle bodies with peak trading activity, candidate support and resistance where positioning concentrated.
- Interval lines: each highlighted body comes framed by two lines, keeping the zone easy to track as price returns to it.
- Range and direction lines: additional lines trace each candle's full range and color its direction, green for bullish and red for bearish; they can be hidden.
- Overlap logic: when a lower-volume body overlaps a higher-volume one, the lower-volume body takes the highlight, keeping the heatmap selective rather than exhaustive.
For the cleanest read, consider hiding regular candles or switching to a more discreet presentation of price so the heat zones stand out.
Liquidity Heatmap LTF Settings
- LTF Timeframe: the lower timeframe supplying opening/closing prices and volume. Keep it below your chart's timeframe for the calculation to make sense.
- Style inputs let you change the highlight color and tune the other graphical elements.
