# Liquidity Swings Maps swing highs and lows as liquidity-rich zones, labeling each with how many times price has revisited it and how much volume traded inside. Count and volume filters strip out minor levels, leaving only the areas where orders genuinely cluster. A retrospective analysis tool for framing support, resistance, and accumulation zones. - Indicator in the LuxAlgo Library, by LuxAlgo, published Jan 30, 2023. - Access: free. - Concepts: [Liquidity Pool](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/liquidity-pool/) (primary), [Swing High/low](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/swing-high-low/), [Buy-side Liquidity](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/buy-side-liquidity/), [Sell-side Liquidity](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/sell-side-liquidity/) - Open on Vela: https://vela.luxalgo.com/chart?pineScriptCodeId=cmpwn35q9004evhsgoxir9lx1 - Page: https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/liquidity-swings/ **Liquidity Swings** turns swing points into a measured map of resting orders: every qualifying swing high and low becomes a zone labeled with its revisit count and the volume accumulated inside it. Prior extremes are natural gathering points for stops and pending entries (the market's [liquidity pools](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/liquidity-pool/)), and this tool shows which of those zones actually attracted participation. It is descriptive by design. Swing points confirm only after the lookback period completes, so every element draws in retrospect, ideal for framing levels and studying behavior rather than firing live signals. ## How to Trade the Liquidity Swings? - **High-volume swing zone**: an accumulation or distribution area on lower timeframes; expect it to matter again as support or resistance. - **Broken swing high (dashed line)**: the [buy-side liquidity](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/buy-side-liquidity/) above it has been taken, a sign of potential bullish momentum. - **Broken swing low (dashed line)**: sell-side liquidity consumed, hinting at bearish momentum ahead. - **Filtered map**: raise the volume or count threshold so only the most significant zones survive on the chart. ## Liquidity Swings Settings - **Pivot Lookback**: the period used to detect pivot points; swings confirm after this many bars. - **Swing Area**: "Wick Extremity" measures from the wick to the nearer of close/open, while "Full Range" uses the entire candle range. - **Intrabar Precision**: uses intrabar data so the volume accumulated inside each zone is measured more precisely. - **Filter Areas By**: "Count" hides areas visited fewer times than your threshold; "Volume" hides areas below your volume threshold. - **Swing High / Swing Low / Label Size**: display toggles for each side plus label sizing. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Can I use Liquidity Swings for real-time entries? No. It is intended for analysis and strategy design. Because pivots are confirmed after the Pivot Lookback period, labels appear with delay, which makes the tool descriptive rather than a live signal generator. ### What should I pair it with for deeper volume context? [Swing Volume Profiles](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/swing-volume-profiles/) is the natural companion: rather than one accumulated total per zone, it details how volume is distributed across each swing range, helpful when judging the quality of a level. ### How do I get the Liquidity Swings indicator? It's free through the LuxAlgo Library, no subscription needed. From this page you can also open it inside Quant, our coding agent, to study how your filtered swing zones behaved across history. You can also copy the source code from this page and run it anywhere Pine Script® runs. ## Related indicators - [Liquidity Levels](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/liquidity-levels/) (Liquidity Pool): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/liquidity-levels.md - [Liquidation Levels](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/liquidation-levels/) (Liquidity Pool): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/liquidation-levels.md - [Liquidity Sweeps](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/liquidity-sweeps/) (Liquidity Pool): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/liquidity-sweeps.md - [Liquidity Heatmap LTF](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/liquidity-heatmap-ltf/) (Liquidity Pool): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/liquidity-heatmap-ltf.md - [Buyside & Sellside Liquidity](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/buyside-sellside-liquidity/) (Liquidity Pool): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/buyside-sellside-liquidity.md - [Liquidity Delta Profiler](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/liquidity-delta-profiler/) (Liquidity Pool): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/liquidity-delta-profiler.md - [Swing Highs/Lows & Candle Patterns](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/swing-highs-lows-candle-patterns/) (Swing High/low): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/swing-highs-lows-candle-patterns.md - [Unreached Highs/Lows Oscillator](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/unreached-highs-lows-oscillator/) (Swing High/low): markdown at https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/unreached-highs-lows-oscillator.md --- Source: https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/liquidity-swings/ (LuxAlgo Library).
