Liquidation Heatmap [Alpha Extract]A sophisticated liquidity zone visualization system that identifies and maps potential liquidation levels based on swing point analysis with volume-weighted intensity measurement and gradient heatmap coloring. Utilizing pivot-based pocket detection and ATR-scaled zone heights, this indicator delivers institutional-grade liquidity mapping with dynamic color intensity reflecting relative liquidity concentration. The system's dual-swing detection architecture combined with configurable weight metrics creates comprehensive liquidation level identification suitable for strategic position planning and market structure analysis.
🔶 Advanced Pivot-Based Pocket Detection
Implements dual swing width analysis to identify potential liquidation zones at pivot highs and lows with configurable lookback periods for comprehensive level coverage. The system detects primary swing points using main pivot width and optional secondary swing detection for increased pocket density, creating layered liquidity maps that capture both major and minor liquidation levels across extended price history.
🔶 Multi-Metric Weight Calculation Engine
Features flexible weight source selection including Volume, Range (high-low spread), and Volume × Range composite metrics for liquidity intensity measurement. The system calculates pocket weights based on market activity at pivot formation, enabling traders to identify which liquidation levels represent higher concentration of potential stops and liquidations with configurable minimum weight thresholds for noise filtering.
🔶 ATR-Based Zone Height Framework
Utilizes Average True Range calculations with percentage-based multipliers to determine pocket vertical dimensions that adapt to market volatility conditions. The system creates ATR-scaled bands above swing highs for short liquidation zones and below swing lows for long liquidation zones, ensuring zone heights remain proportional to current market volatility for accurate level representation.
🔶 Dynamic Gradient Heatmap Visualization
Implements sophisticated color gradient system that maps pocket weights to intensity scales, creating intuitive visual representation of relative liquidity concentration. The system applies power-law transformation with configurable contrast adjustment to enhance differentiation between weak and strong liquidity pockets, using cyan-to-blue gradients for long liquidations and yellow-to-orange for short liquidations.
🔶 Intelligent Pocket State Management
Features advanced pocket tracking system that monitors price interaction with liquidation zones and updates pocket states dynamically. The system detects when price trades through pocket midpoints, marking them as "hit" with optional preservation or removal, and manages pocket extension for untouched levels with configurable forward projection to maintain visibility of approaching liquidity zones.
🔶 Real-Time Liquidity Scale Display
Provides gradient legend showing min-max range of pocket weights with 24-segment color bar for instant liquidity intensity reference. The system positions the scale at chart edge with volume-formatted labels, enabling traders to quickly assess relative strength of visible liquidation pockets without numerical clutter on the main chart area.
🔶 Touched Pocket Border System
Implements visual confirmation of executed liquidations through border highlighting when price trades through pocket zones. The system applies configurable transparency to touched pocket borders with inverted slider logic (lower values fade borders, higher values emphasize them), providing clear historical record of liquidated levels while maintaining focus on active untouched pockets.
🔶 Dual-Swing Density Enhancement
Features optional secondary swing width parameter that creates additional pocket layer with tighter pivot detection for increased liquidation level density. The system runs parallel pivot detection at both primary and secondary swing widths, populating chart with comprehensive liquidity mapping that captures both major swing liquidations and intermediate level clusters.
🔶 Adaptive Pocket Extension Framework
Utilizes intelligent time-based extension that projects untouched pockets forward by configurable bar count, maintaining visibility as price approaches potential liquidation zones. The system freezes touched pocket right edges at hit timestamps while extending active pockets dynamically, creating clear distinction between historical liquidations and forward-projected active levels.
🔶 Weight-Based Label Integration
Provides floating labels on untouched pockets displaying volume-formatted weight values with dynamic positioning that follows pocket extension. The system automatically manages label lifecycle, creating labels for new pockets, updating positions as pockets extend, and removing labels when pockets are touched, ensuring clean chart presentation with relevant liquidity information.
🔶 Performance Optimization Framework
Implements efficient array management with automatic clean-up of old pockets beyond lookback period and optimized box/label deletion to maintain smooth performance. The system includes configurable maximum object counts (500 boxes, 50 labels, 100 lines) with intelligent removal of oldest elements when limits are approached, ensuring consistent operation across extended timeframes.
This indicator delivers sophisticated liquidity zone analysis through pivot-based detection and volume-weighted intensity measurement with intuitive heatmap visualization. Unlike simple support/resistance indicators, the Liquidation Heatmap combines swing point identification with market activity metrics to identify where concentrated liquidations are likely to occur, while the gradient color system instantly communicates relative liquidity strength. The system's dual-swing architecture, configurable weight metrics, ATR-adaptive zone heights, and intelligent state management make it essential for traders seeking strategic position planning around institutional liquidity levels across cryptocurrency, forex, and futures markets. The visual heatmap approach enables instant identification of high-probability reversal zones where cascading liquidations may trigger significant price reactions.
Liquidation
Simulated Liquidation Heatmap [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
This indicator visualizes where clusters of stop-loss orders and liquidation levels are likely located, displayed as a 'heatmap'. It's based on the concept of market structure liquidity: large groups of stop orders tend to gather around obvious technical levels (like swing highs and lows), and these pools of orders often attract price movement from institutional traders. The indicator uses a fractal-based algorithm to identify these high-probability liquidation zones and displays them as dynamic, color-coded boxes.
The key feature is the thermal color gradient, which indicates the freshness (age) and therefore the relative relevance of the liquidity zone. Hot colors (e.g., Red/Yellow) represent fresh clusters that have just formed, suggesting strong and immediate liquidity interest. Cold colors (e.g., Blue/Purple) represent aged or decaying clusters that are becoming less relevant over time. This visualization allows traders to anticipate potential liquidity sweeps (stop hunts) and understand areas of significant retail and institutional positioning.
🟢 Key Features
1. Liquidity Zone Heatmap
The core function is the identification of swing high and swing low price points using a user-defined Lookback period. These points are where retail traders are statistically most likely to place their stop-loss orders. The indicator simulates the clustering of these orders by drawing a zone (box) around the detected swing point, with the vertical size controlled by the Stop/Liquidation Zone Width (%) setting.
▶ Cluster Lookback: Defines the sensitivity of swing point detection. Lower values detect frequent, minor zones (scalping/intraday); higher values detect major, stronger swing points (swing trading).
▶ Zone Width (%): Sets the percentage range above and below the swing point where stops are simulated to cluster, accounting for slippage and typical stop placement spread.
▶ Liquidity Decay: Zones gradually fade in color intensity and are eventually removed after the user-defined Liquidity Decay Period (Bars), ensuring the heatmap only displays relevant, current liquidity areas.
▶ Round Number Filter: An optional filter that limits the display to liquidity zones occurring only at psychologically significant round numbers (e.g., $100, $1,500.00), which typically attract higher concentrations of orders.
2. Thermal Color Gradient
The heatmap's color is a direct function of the zone's age, providing a visual proxy for immediate relevance.
▶ Freshness: Newly created zones are displayed in the Hot Color (high relevance).
▶ Decay: As bars pass, the zone color transitions along the gradient toward the Cold Color and increased transparency (lower relevance), until it is removed entirely.
▶ Color Schemes: Multiple pre-configured and custom color schemes are available to optimize the visualization for different chart themes and color preferences.
3. Liquidity Heat Thermometer
An optional visual thermometer is displayed on the chart to provide an instant, overall assessment of the current liquidation heat level in the immediate vicinity of the price.
▶ Calculation: The thermometer calculates an aggregate heat score based on the age and proximity of all liquidity zones within a user-defined Zone Detection Range (%) of the current price.
▶ Visual Feedback: A marker (triangle) points to the corresponding level on the thermometer's color gradient (Hot to Cold). A high reading indicates price is close to fresh, dense stop clusters, suggesting high volatility or an imminent liquidity sweep is probable. A low reading indicates price is in a low-density or aged liquidity area.
▶ Customization: The thermometer's resolution, position, and text size are fully customizable for optimal chart placement and readability.
🟢 Practical Applications
▶ Anticipate Sweeps: Prioritize trading in the direction of Hot (fresh) liquidity zones. For example, a hot low-side zone suggests strong sell-side liquidity (stop-losses) is available for large buyers to sweep.
▶ Filter Noise: Use the Round Number Filter to focus only on the highest probability liquidation zones, which are often at clean, psychological price levels.
▶ Validate Entries: Combine the Heat Thermometer with price action analysis. A rising heat level indicates increasing proximity to a major stop cluster, signaling a potential turn or an aggressive market move to sweep those stops.
▶ Risk Management: Understand that price often acts dynamically around these zones. High heat levels imply high risk/reward setups; stops should be placed strategically beyond the defined Liquidation Zone Width.
▶ Multi-Timeframe Context: Higher timeframes (e.g., Daily, 4-Hour) often reveal more significant, major liquidity zones. Use this indicator on lower timeframes (e.g., 5-min, 15-min) for execution, but prioritize zones that align with higher-timeframe structures.

Time-Decay Liquidity Zones [BackQuant]Time-Decay Liquidity Zones
A dynamic liquidity map that turns single-bar exhaustion events into fading, color-graded zones, so you can see where trapped traders and unfinished business still matter, and when those areas have finally stopped pulling price.
What this is
This indicator detects unusually strong impulsive moves into wicks, converts them into supply or demand “zones,” then lets those zones decay over time. Each zone carries a strength score that fades bar by bar. Zones that stop attracting or rejecting price are gradually de-emphasized and eventually removed, while the most relevant areas stay bright and obvious.
Instead of static rectangles that live forever, you get a living liquidity map where:
Zones are born from objective criteria: volatility, wick size, and optional volume spikes.
Zones “age” using a configurable decay factor and maximum lifetime.
Zone color and opacity reflect current relative strength on a unified clear → green → red gradient.
Zones freeze when broken, so you can distinguish “active reaction areas” from “historical levels that have already given way”.
Conceptual idea
Large wicks with strong volatility often mark areas where aggressive orders met hidden liquidity and got absorbed. Price may revisit these areas to test leftover interest or to relieve trapped positions. However, not every wick matters for long. As time passes and more bars print, the market “forgets” some areas.
Time-Decay Liquidity Zones turns that idea into a rule-based system:
Find bars that likely reflect strong aggressive flows into liquidity.
Mark a zone around the wick using ATR-based thickness.
Assign a strength score of 1.0 at birth.
Each bar, reduce that score by a decay factor and remove zones that fall below a threshold or live too long.
Color all surviving zones from weak to strong using a single gradient scale and a visual legend.
How events are detected
Detection lives in the Event Detection group. The script combines range, wick size, and optional volume filters into simple rules.
Volatility filter
ATR Length — computes a rolling ATR over your chosen window. This is the volatility baseline.
Min range in ATRs — bar range (High–Low) must exceed this multiple of ATR for an event to be considered. This avoids tiny bars triggering zones.
Wick filters
For each bar, the script splits the candle into body and wicks:
Upper wick = High minus the max(Open, Close).
Lower wick = min(Open, Close) minus Low.
Then it tests:
Upper wick condition — upper wick must be larger than Min wick size in ATRs × ATR.
Lower wick condition — lower wick must be larger than Min wick size in ATRs × ATR.
Only bars with a sufficiently long wick relative to volatility qualify as candidate “liquidity events”.
Volume filter
Optionally, the script requires a volume spike:
Use volume filter — if enabled, volume must exceed a rolling volume SMA by a configurable multiplier.
Volume SMA length — period for the volume average.
Volume spike multiplier — how many times above the SMA current volume needs to be.
This lets you focus only on “heavy” tests of liquidity and ignore quiet bars.
Event types
Putting it together:
Upper event (potential supply / long liquidation, etc.)
Occurs when:
Upper wick is large in ATR terms.
Full bar range is large in ATR terms.
Volume is above the spike threshold (if enabled).
Lower event (potential demand / short liquidation, etc.)
Symmetric conditions using the lower wick.
How zones are constructed
Zone geometry lives in Zone Geometry .
When an event is detected, the script builds a rectangular box that anchors to the wick and extends in the appropriate direction by an ATR-based thickness.
For upper (supply-type) zones
Bottom of the zone = event bar high.
Top of the zone = event bar high + Zone thickness in ATRs × ATR.
The zone initially spans only the event bar on the x-axis, but is extended to the right as new bars appear while the zone is active.
For lower (demand-type) zones
Top of the zone = event bar low.
Bottom of the zone = event bar low − Zone thickness in ATRs × ATR.
Same extension logic: box starts on the event bar and grows rightward while alive.
The result is a band around the wick that scales with volatility. On high-ATR charts, zones are thicker. On calm charts, they are narrower and more precise.
Zone lifecycle, decay, and removal
All lifecycle logic is controlled by the Decay & Lifetime group.
Each zone carries:
Score — a floating-point “importance” measure, starting at 1.0 when created.
Direction — +1 for upper zones, −1 for lower zones.
Birth index — bar index at creation time.
Active flag — whether the zone is still considered unbroken and extendable.
1) Active vs broken
Each confirmed bar, the script checks:
For an upper zone , the zone is counted as “broken” when the close moves above the top of the zone.
For a lower zone , the zone is counted as “broken” when the close moves below the bottom of the zone.
When a zone breaks:
Its right edge is frozen at the previous bar (no further extension).
The zone remains on the chart, but is no longer updated by price interaction. It still decays in score until removal.
This lets you see where a major level was overrun, while naturally fading its influence over time.
2) Time decay
At each confirmed bar:
Score := Score × Score decay per bar .
A decay value close to 1.0 means very slow decay and long-lived zones.
Lower values (closer to 0.9) mean faster forgetting and more current-focused zones.
You are controlling how quickly the market “forgets” past events.
3) Age and score-based removal
Zones are removed when either:
Age in bars exceeds Max bars a zone can live .
This is a hard lifetime cap.
Score falls below Minimum score before removal .
This trims zones that have decayed into irrelevance even if their age is still within bounds.
When a zone is removed, its box is deleted and all associated state is freed to keep performance and visuals clean.
Unified gradient and color logic
Color control lives in Gradient & Color . The indicator uses a single continuous gradient for all zones, above and below price, so you can read strength at a glance without guessing what palette means what.
Base colors
You set:
Mid strength color (green) — used for mid-level strength zones and as the “anchor” in the gradient.
High strength color (red) — used for the strongest zones.
Max opacity — the maximum visual opacity for the solid part of the gradient. Lower values here mean more solid; higher values mean more transparent.
The script then defines three internal points:
Clear end — same as mid color, but with a high alpha (close to transparent).
Mid end — mid color at the strongest allowed opacity.
High end — high color at the strongest allowed opacity.
Strength normalization
Within each update:
The script finds the maximum score among all existing zones.
Each zone’s strength is computed as its score divided by this maximum.
Strength is clamped into .
This means a zone with strength 1.0 is currently the strongest zone on the chart. Other zones are colored relative to that.
Piecewise gradient
Color is assigned in two stages:
For strength between 0.0 and 0.5: interpolate from “clear” green to solid green.
Weak zones are barely visible, mid-strength zones appear as solid green.
For strength between 0.5 and 1.0: interpolate from solid green to solid red.
The strongest zones shift toward the red anchor, clearly separating them from everything else.
Strength scale legend
To make the gradient readable, the indicator draws a vertical legend on the right side of the chart:
About 15 cells from top (Strong) to bottom (Weak).
Each cell uses the same gradient function as the zones themselves.
Top cell is labeled “Strong”; bottom cell is labeled “Weak”.
This legend acts as a fixed reference so you can instantly map a zone’s color to its approximate strength rank.
What it plots
At a glance, the indicator produces:
Upper liquidity zones above price, built from large upper wick events.
Lower liquidity zones below price, built from large lower wick events.
All zones colored by relative strength using the same gradient.
Zones that freeze when price breaks them, then fade out via decay and removal.
A strength scale legend on the right to interpret the gradient.
There are no extra lines, labels, or clutter. The focus is the evolving structure of liquidity zones and their visual strength.
How to read the zones
Bright red / bright green zones
These are your current “major” liquidity areas. They have high scores relative to other zones and have not yet decayed. Expect meaningful reactions, absorption attempts, or spillover moves when price interacts with them.
Faded zones
Pale, nearly transparent zones are either old, decayed, or minor. They can still matter, but priority is lower. If these are in the middle of a long consolidation, they often become background noise.
Broken but still visible zones
Zones whose extension has stopped have been overrun by closing price. They show where a key level gave way. You can use them as context for regime shifts or failed attempts.
Absence of zones
A chart with few or no zones means that, under your current thresholds, there have not been strong enough liquidity events recently. Either tighten the filters or accept that recent price action has been relatively balanced.
Use cases
1) Intraday liquidity hunting
Run the indicator on lower timeframes (e.g., 1–15 minute) with moderately fast decay.
Use the upper zones as potential sell reaction areas, the lower zones as potential buy reaction areas.
Combine with order flow, CVD, or footprint tools to see whether price is absorbing or rejecting at each zone.
2) Swing trading context
Increase ATR length and range/wick multipliers to focus only on major spikes.
Set slower decay and higher max lifetime so zones persist across multiple sessions.
Use these zones as swing inflection areas for larger setups, for example anticipating re-tests after breakouts.
3) Stop placement and invalidation
For longs, place invalidation beyond a decaying lower zone rather than in the middle of noise.
For shorts, place invalidation beyond strong upper zones.
If price closes through a strong zone and it freezes, treat that as additional evidence your prior bias may be wrong.
4) Identifying trapped flows
Upper zones formed after violent spikes up that quickly fail can mark trapped longs.
Lower zones formed after violent spikes down that quickly reverse can mark trapped shorts.
Watching how price behaves on the next touch of those zones can hint at whether those participants are being rescued or squeezed.

Slow, structural zones
Longer ATR length (e.g., 100+).
Moderate wick and range thresholds.
Decay per bar very close to 1.0 for slow fading.
Higher max lifetime and slightly higher min score threshold so only very weak zones disappear.
Noisy, high-volatility instruments
Increase wick and range ATR multipliers to avoid over-triggering.
Consider enabling the volume filter with stronger settings.
Keep decay moderate to avoid the chart getting overloaded with old zones.
Notes
This is a structural and contextual tool, not a complete trading system. It does not account for transaction costs, execution slippage, or your specific strategy rules. Use it to:
Highlight where liquidity has recently been tested hard.
Rank these areas by decaying strength.
Guide your attention when layering in separate entry signals, risk management, and higher-timeframe context.
Time-Decay Liquidity Zones is designed to keep your chart focused on where the market has most recently “cared” about price, and to gradually forget what no longer matters. Adjust the detection, geometry, decay, and gradient to fit your product and timeframe, and let the zones show you which parts of the tape still have unfinished business.
Liquidation Cascade Detector [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Liquidation Cascade Detector employs multi-dimensional microstructure analysis to identify forced liquidation events by synthesizing volume anomalies, price acceleration dynamics, and volatility regime shifts. Unlike conventional momentum indicators that merely track directional bias, this indicator isolates the specific market conditions where leveraged positions experience forced unwinding, creating asymmetric opportunities for mean reversion traders and market makers to take advantage of temporary liquidity imbalances.
These liquidation cascades manifest through various catalysts: overwhelming spot selling coupled with leveraged long liquidation forced unwinding creates downward spirals where organic sell pressure triggers margin calls, which generate additional selling that triggers more margin calls. Conversely, sudden large buy orders or coordinated buying can squeeze overleveraged shorts, forcing buy-to-cover orders that push price higher, triggering additional short stops in a self-reinforcing feedback loop. The indicator captures both scenarios, regardless of whether the initial catalyst is organic flow or forced liquidation.
For sophisticated traders/market makers deploying amplification strategies, this indicator serves as an early warning system for distressed order flow. By detecting the moments when cascading stop-losses and margin calls create self-reinforcing price movements, the system enables traders to: (1) identify forced participants experiencing capital pressure, (2) strategically add liquidity in the direction of panic flow to amplify displacement, (3) accumulate contra-positions during the overshoot phase, and (4) capture mean reversion profits as equilibrium pricing reasserts itself. This approach transforms destructive liquidation events into potential profit opportunities by systematically front-running and then fading coordinated forced selling/buying.
🟢 How It Works
The detection engine operates through a three-tier confirmation framework that validates liquidation events only when multiple independent market stress indicators align simultaneously:
► Tier 1: Volume Anomaly Detection
The system calculates bar-to-bar volume ratios to identify abnormal participation spikes characteristic of forced liquidations. The Volume Spike threshold filters for transactions where current volume significantly exceeds previous bar volume. When leveraged positions hit stop-losses or margin requirements, their simultaneous unwinding creates distinctive volume signatures absent during organic price discovery. This metric isolates moments when market makers face one-sided order flow from distressed participants unable to control execution timing, whether triggered by whale orders absorbing liquidity or cascading margin calls creating relentless directional pressure.
► Tier 2: Price Acceleration Measurement
By comparing current bar's absolute body size against the previous bar's movement, the algorithm quantifies momentum acceleration. The Price Acceleration threshold identifies scenarios where price velocity increases dramatically, a hallmark of cascading liquidations where each stop-loss triggers additional stops in a feedback loop. This calculation distinguishes between gradual trend development (irrelevant for amplification attacks) and explosive moves driven by forced order flow requiring immediate liquidity provision. The metric captures both panic selling scenarios where spot sellers overwhelm bid liquidity triggering long liquidations, and short squeeze dynamics where aggressive buying exhausts offer-side depth forcing short covering.
► Tier 3: Volatility Expansion Analysis
The indicator measures bar range expansion by computing the current high-low range relative to the previous bar. The Volatility Spike threshold captures regime shifts where intrabar price action becomes erratic, evidence that market depth has evaporated and order book imbalance is driving price. Combined with body-to-range analysis indicating strong directional conviction, this metric confirms that volatility expansion reflects genuine liquidation pressure rather than random noise or low-volume chop.
*Supplementary Confirmation Metrics
Beyond the three primary detection tiers, the system analyzes additional candle characteristics that distinguish genuine liquidation events from ordinary volatility:
► Candle Strength: Measures the ratio of candle body size to total bar range. High readings (above 60%) indicate strong directional conviction where price moved decisively in one direction with minimal retracement. During liquidations, distressed traders execute market orders that drive price aggressively without the normal back-and-forth of balanced trading. Strong-bodied candles with minimal wicks confirm forced participants are accepting any available price rather than attempting to minimize slippage, validating that observed volume and price acceleration stem from liquidation pressure rather than routine trading.
► Volume Climax: Identifies when current volume reaches the highest level within recent history. Climax volume events mark terminal liquidation phases where maximum panic or squeeze intensity occurs. These extreme participation spikes typically represent the final wave of forced exits as the last remaining stops are triggered or the final shorts capitulate. For mean reversion traders, volume climax signals provide optimal reversal entry timing, as they mark maximum displacement from equilibrium when all forced sellers/buyers have been exhausted.
*Directional Classification
The system categorizes cascades into two actionable classes:
1. Short Liquidation (Bullish Cascade): Upward price movement combined with cascade patterns equals forced short covering. This occurs when aggressive spot buying (often from whales placing large market orders) or coordinated buy programs exhaust available offer liquidity, spiking price upward and triggering clustered short stop-losses. Short sellers experiencing margin pressure must buy-to-close regardless of price, creating artificial demand spikes that compound the initial buying pressure. The combination of organic buying and forced covering creates explosive upward moves as each liquidated short adds buy-side pressure, triggering additional shorts in a self-reinforcing loop. Market makers can amplify this by lifting offers ahead of forced buy orders, then selling into the exhaustion at elevated levels.
2. Long Liquidation (Bearish Cascade): Downward price movement combined with cascade patterns equals forced long liquidation. This manifests when heavy spot selling (panic sellers, large institutional unwinds, or coordinated distribution) overwhelms bid-side liquidity, breaking through support levels where long stop-losses cluster. Over-leveraged longs facing margin calls must sell-to-close at any price, generating artificial supply waves that compound the initial selling pressure. The dual force of organic selling coupled with forced long liquidation creates downward spirals where each margin call triggers additional margin calls through further price deterioration. Amplification opportunities exist by hitting bids ahead of panic selling, accumulating long positions during the capitulation, and reversing as sellers exhaust.
🟢 How to Use
1. For Mean Reversion Traders
When the indicator highlights a short liquidation cascade (green background), this signals that shorts are experiencing forced buy-to-cover pressure, often initiated by whale bids or aggressive spot buying that triggered the squeeze. Mean reversion traders can interpret this as a temporary upward dislocation from fair value. As the dashboard shows declining momentum metrics and the cascade highlighting stops, this represents a potential fade opportunity. Enter short positions expecting price to revert back toward pre-cascade levels once the forced buying exhausts and the initial large buyer completes their accumulation.
When a long liquidation cascade triggers (red background), longs are undergoing forced sell-to-close liquidation, typically catalyzed by overwhelming spot selling that breached key support levels. This creates artificial downward pressure disconnected from fundamental value, as margin-driven forced selling compounds organic sell flow. Mean reversion traders wait for the cascade to complete (dashboard transitions from active liquidation status to neutral), then enter long positions anticipating snap-back toward equilibrium pricing as panic subsides and forced sellers are exhausted.
You can also monitor the dashboard's Volume Climax indicator. When it displays "YES" during an active cascade, this suggests the liquidation is reaching its terminal phase, whether driven by the final shorts being squeezed out or the last leveraged longs capitulating. Mean reversion entries become highest probability at this point, as maximum displacement from fair value has occurred. Wait for the next 1-3 bars after climax confirmation, then enter contra-trend positions with tight stops.
The Candle Strength metric also helps validate entry timing. When candle strength readings drop significantly after maintaining elevated levels during the cascade, this divergence indicates absorption is occurring. Market makers are stepping in to provide liquidity, supporting your mean reversion thesis. Strong candle bodies during the cascade followed by weaker bodies signal the forced flow is diminishing.
2. For Momentum & Trend Following Traders
When price breaks through a significant resistance level and immediately triggers a short liquidation cascade (green background), this confirms breakout validity through forced participation. Shorts positioned against the breakout are now experiencing margin pressure from the combination of breakout momentum and potential whale buying, creating self-reinforcing buying that propels price higher. Enter long positions during the cascade or immediately after, as the forced covering provides fuel for extended momentum continuation.
Conversely, when price breaks below key support and triggers a long liquidation cascade (red background), the breakdown is validated by forced selling from trapped longs. Heavy spot selling coupled with margin liquidations creates accelerated downside momentum as liquidations cascade through clustered stop-loss levels. Enter short positions as the cascade develops, riding the combined force of organic selling and forced liquidation for extended trend moves.
3. For Sophisticated Traders & Market Makers
► Amplification Attack Execution
Sophisticated operators can exploit cascades through systematic amplification positioning. When a short liquidation is detected (green highlight activating), often initiated by whale bids absorbing offer liquidity, place aggressive buy orders to front-run and amplify the forced short covering. This exacerbates upward pressure, pushing price further from equilibrium and triggering additional clustered stops. Simultaneously begin accumulating short positions at these artificially elevated levels. As dashboard metrics indicate cascade exhaustion (volume spike declining, climax signal appearing, candle strength weakening), flatten amplification longs and hold accumulated shorts into the mean reversion.
For long liquidations (red highlight), typically catalyzed by heavy spot selling overwhelming bid depth, execute the inverse strategy. Place aggressive sell orders to compound the panic selling, amplifying downward displacement and accelerating margin call triggers. Layer long entries at depressed prices during this amplification phase as forced liquidation selling creates artificial supply. When dashboard signals cascade completion (metrics normalizing, volume climax passing), exit amplification shorts and maintain long positions for the reversal trade.
► Market Making During Liquidity Crises
During detected cascades, temporarily adjust quote placement strategy. When dashboard shows all three confirmation metrics activating simultaneously with strong candle bodies, this indicates the highest probability liquidation event, whether from whale order flow or cascading margin calls. Widen spreads dramatically to capture enhanced edge during the liquidity vacuum. Alternatively, step away from quote provision entirely on your natural inventory side (stop offering during short cascades driven by aggressive buying, stop bidding during long cascades driven by overwhelming selling) to avoid adverse selection from forced flow.
Use cascade detection to inform inventory management. During short cascades initiated by large buy orders or short squeezes, reduce existing short inventory exposure while allowing the forced buying to push price higher. Rebuild short inventory only at the inflated levels created by liquidation pressure. During long cascades where spot selling compounds leveraged liquidation, reduce long inventory and use the forced selling to reaccumulate at artificially depressed prices rather than providing stabilizing liquidity too early.
► Sequential Positioning Strategy
Advanced traders can structure trades in phases: (1) Initial amplification orders placed immediately upon cascade detection to front-run forced flow, (2) Contra-position accumulation scaled in as displacement extends and dashboard readings intensify, (3) Amplification trade exit when metrics show deceleration or candle strength weakens, (4) Contra-position hold through mean reversion, targeting pre-cascade price levels. This sequential approach extracts profit from both the dislocation phase and the subsequent equilibrium restoration.
► Risk Monitoring
If cascade highlighting persists across many consecutive bars while dashboard volume readings remain extremely elevated with sustained strong candle bodies, this suggests sustained institutional deleveraging or persistent whale activity rather than simple retail liquidation. Reduce amplification position sizing significantly, as these extended events can exhibit delayed mean reversion. Professional counter-parties may be establishing dominant positions, limiting your edge.
When volatility spike metrics decline while cascade highlighting continues, professional absorption is occurring. Proceed cautiously with amplification strategies, as intelligent liquidity providers are already positioning for the reversal, potentially front-running your intended reversal trade. Similarly, if large liquidation wicks appear during cascades, this indicates partial absorption is happening, suggesting more sophisticated players are taking the opposite side of distressed flow.

[Saga Trading] Liquidation Leverages ProSaga Trading – Liquidation Leverages Pro
Liquidation Leverages Pro is a powerful TradingView indicator designed to map the real-time liquidation levels of traders using leverage from 1x up to 100x on Bitget futures. By calculating the theoretical liquidation price of each leverage tier, the tool reveals where the majority of leveraged positions become vulnerable — and where Market Makers have incentives to drive price.
The indicator visually displays these liquidation levels directly on the chart, allowing traders to instantly identify liquidity pools, liquidation clusters, stop-hunt zones, and high-risk areas. Each leverage tier can be toggled on or off, and clusters of overlapping liquidation levels are automatically highlighted to expose areas where forced liquidations could trigger sharp market moves.
This tool provides deep insight into the behavior and positioning of the majority, helping traders understand where the next engineered move is most likely to occur. When combined with order-flow tools made by Saga Trading such as Aggregated CVD Pro, Synthetic OrderBook, and Open Interest, Liquidation Leverages Pro becomes an essential component of a full liquidity-based trading system.
Whether you scalp, swing trade, or analyze derivatives, this indicator gives you a decisive advantage by showing exactly where the market is most fragile — and where the next cascade can begin.
Liquidation Reversal Signals [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This tool detects potential liquidation-driven reversals by combining z-score analysis of up/down volume with the classic Supertrend. It watches for abnormal surges in directional volume (on a lower timeframe) and links them to trend flips on the main chart. When both align within a short window, it flags a probable reversal caused by forced liquidations. The goal is to help traders identify exhaustion points where aggressive liquidation moves may mark the end of a trend leg.
🟠 CONCEPTS
The logic revolves around Z-score normalization of up and down volume to locate statistical extremes. When up-volume z-scores exceed a threshold during a bearish Supertrend, it implies trapped shorts being squeezed; the opposite applies for long liquidations. The script tracks these liquidation spikes and monitors whether a Supertrend regime change follows soon after. If confirmed within the allowed timeout, a colored signal marks the event.
In essence:
Z-score outliers = potential forced liquidations.
Supertrend = structural regime context.
Combined = statistically confirmed reversal signals, not random flips.
This pairing reduces false positives by ensuring that both volatility structure and order-flow extremes agree before flagging a reversal.
🟠 FEATURES
Z-score detection for liquidation spikes with adjustable lookback and threshold.
Confirmation logic linking liquidations to Supertrend flips.
Alerts for liquidation spikes and confirmed reversal starts.
On-chart “No Volume” warning to avoid misreads on illiquid assets.
🟠 USAGE
Setup : Add the script to your main chart. Choose a lower timeframe (default 15m) to capture more granular liquidation flows. Adjust Z-Score Length to control how far back the script measures normal behavior and Threshold to decide what counts as extreme. Keep Timeout Bars low (e.g. 20–50) for faster reversals, or higher for slower markets.
Read the chart :
• Circles appear below bars when long liquidations occur; above bars for short liquidations.
• A Supertrend flip with a recent liquidation spike will display an arrow and color shift.
• Fills between candles and trend lines show which side dominates: green for bullish reversal, red for bearish.
• Candle color fades based on the magnitude of liquidation pressure.
Settings that matter :
• Z-Score Length : Longer smooths noise but delays signal; shorter reacts faster.
• Z-Score Threshold : Higher means only extreme liquidations trigger; lower finds smaller squeezes.
• Timeout Bars : Defines how long after a liquidation the Supertrend flip remains valid.
• Lower Timeframe : Determines the precision of volume readings; too low may increase noise.
Dynamic Liquidity HeatMap Profile [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Dynamic Liquidity HeatMap Profile is a smart-flow liquidity tracker that maps where stop-loss clusters and resting limit orders are likely positioned.
Instead of traditional volume profiles based only on executed transactions, this tool projects probable liquidity pools — areas where traders are trapped or positioned and where smart money may hunt stops or fill orders.
It dynamically scans recent price swings, builds liquidity zones above and below price, and visualizes them as a heat map + histogram — highlighting areas with the greatest liquidity attraction.
Orange highlights the highest-concentration liquidity (POC), making potential sweep targets obvious.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Liquidity pools form above swing highs (buy stops) and below swing lows (sell stops).
Market makers & large players often push price into these zones to trigger stops and capture liquidity.
The indicator uses recent volatility + volume expansion to estimate where these pools exist.
Horizontal heat bars show depth and intensity of probable liquidity.
Profile side histogram displays buy-side vs sell-side liquidity distribution.
🔵 FEATURES
Dynamic Liquidity Detection — finds potential stop-loss clusters from recent swing behavior.
Dual-Side Heatmap — split liquidity view above (short stops) and below (long stops) current price.
Volume-Weighted Levels — higher volatility & volume = deeper liquidity expectation.
Real-Time Heat Coloring
• Lime = liquidity below price (potential buy-side fuel)
• Blue = liquidity above price (potential sell-side fuel)
• Orange = peak liquidity (POC)
Liquidity Profile Histogram — plotted at right side, layered by strength.
Auto-Cleaning Engine — removes invalidated liquidity after breaks.
Adjustable lookback window and bin resolution .
🔵 HOW TO USE
Look for price moving toward dense liquidity zones — high probability of wick raids or sweeps.
Orange POC often acts as magnet — strong target zone for smart money.
Combine with SFP / BOS logic to time reversals after liquidity hunts.
In trend, price repeatedly sweeps opposite-side liquidity before continuation.
Use liquidity walls as bias filters — heavy liquidity above often precedes downward move, and vice-versa.
Great for scalping sessions, indices, FX, BTC, ETH.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Dynamic Liquidity HeatMap Profile gives traders a tactical edge by revealing where the market’s hidden liquidity resides.
It highlights where shorts and longs are positioned, identifies likely sweep zones, and marks the most attractive liquidity magnet (POC).
Use it to anticipate stop hunts, avoid getting trapped, and align with smart-money flow instead of fighting it.

Moving Liquidation PreferenceVersion 0.1
The indicator provides an indication of the "Moving Liquidation Preference" for Strategy's ( NASDAQ:MSTR ) preferred equities ( NASDAQ:STRK , NASDAQ:STRF , NASDAQ:STRF ). The author attempts to accurately recreate the values based on information available in SEC disclosures and using public stock trading data. Since these are open to interpretation and the data may not be the golden truth for determining the liquidation preference, the author explicitly indicates that the information provided by this indicator is non-indicative and not meant to supersede information provided by Strategy directly. It is meant for entertainment purposes only, not for use in financial decision making.
The author has made every attempt to be as accurate as possible, but mistakes invariably occur and should be reported to the author if discovered.
The script will be updated as new preferred stock is issued via ATM or other sales for as long as the author is willing and able to do so.
Why is the script private?
This script includes data on the issuance of Strategy preferred equity ( NASDAQ:STRK , NASDAQ:STRF , NASDAQ:STRF ) that was manually determined by the author after going through countless hours of SEC disclosures. Since there is no publicly available repository for this information and the author would like to retain the right to make this available at a later date, the script is kept private. In addition, the data may be faulty and should not be relied upon for financial decision making. This indicator is not financial advise, nor does it purport to replace professional guidance. Use at your own risk!
Leveraged Liquidation ZonesOVERVIEW
This indicator estimates potential liquidation zones based on leveraged positions (25x, 50x, 75x, 100x). It visually displays upper and lower bounds for each leverage tier, allowing traders to infer areas where the market might be seeking liquidity.
CONCEPTS
In leveraged markets, especially crypto derivatives, price often moves towards zones of high liquidation potential — areas where traders using high leverage are likely to be stopped out. These zones represent concentrations of liquidity that can serve as targets for price movement.
This script models simplified liquidation areas by calculating the price range within which positions using specific leverage levels would be at risk, assuming no maintenance margin and using the previous candle close as a reference.
FEATURES
Visual zones for 25x, 50x, 75x, and 100x leverage levels.
Customizable visibility and colors for each leverage tier.
Real-time zone calculation based on the previous candle close.
Simple and clean design to overlay directly on price action.
USAGE
Use this tool to identify areas of liquidity accumulation or potential price magnet zones. High-leverage liquidations often lead to volatile movements when triggered, so tracking these zones can help anticipate breakout or reversal behavior.
You can toggle individual leverage levels via the settings panel, and adjust color transparency to suit your chart theme. This tool is most effective when combined with volume spikes, order book analysis, or high-frequency behavior.
Liquidity Hunter HeatmapLiquidity Hunter (GPS Companion Tool)
Liquidity Hunter is a specialized script designed to help traders visualize and track potential liquidation zones, clusters, and imbalance traps in real-time. It is particularly useful for scalpers and short-term traders who rely on liquidity sweeps, stop hunts, and reversion plays.
This tool does not replicate open-source liquidation trackers. Instead, it uses a proprietary combination of volume surges, candle displacement, VWAP deviation, and high-timeframe wicks to infer areas of trapped traders and display them with clear, color-coded markers.
Key Features:
• Real-Time Liquidation Estimates: Detects where major stop losses (and potential liquidations) may have occurred, based on proprietary volume + price action logic.
• Cluster Strength Bubbles: Visual bubbles (scaled by cluster size) show where liquidations are stacking. Purple for bearish, white for bullish — intensity reflects strength.
• Pre-Liquidation Warning Zones: Highlights areas where price is likely to sweep liquidity before reversing, helping traders avoid chasing moves.
• Dollar-Based Labels (Optional): Displays the estimated value liquidated, helping traders size the significance of a move (e.g., $8.4M).
• Minimal Clutter Mode: Designed for intraday clarity — hides excess lines and uses bubbles, not shapes, for cleaner visualization.
Liquidation Heatmap ║ BullVision 🧠Overview
The Liquidation Heatmap ║ BullVision 💥 is a high-precision visualization tool engineered to highlight probable liquidation levels in crypto markets. It leverages multi-exchange Open Interest data, real-time volume dynamics, and structure-aware volatility signals to reveal where leveraged traders are most at risk of forced position closures.
📖 What Are Liquidations?
In leveraged derivatives markets, a liquidation occurs when a trader’s margin becomes insufficient to maintain their position, triggering an automatic force-close by the exchange. These events are typically clustered around price levels where large volumes of overleveraged positions accumulate. When breached, they often result in sharp, aggressive price movements — also known as liquidation cascades.
This indicator is designed to detect and project such high-risk zones before they trigger, giving traders an edge in visualizing hidden pressure points in the market.
🧠 How It Works
The core engine aggregates real-time ∆OI (Open Interest delta) data from multiple major exchanges and applies a layered filtering system that considers:
Relative Open Interest shifts, normalized against an adaptive moving average baseline
Volume acceleration patterns, compared to a rolling historical benchmark
Market structure context, identifying meaningful directional breaks and failed retests
Leverage-tier modeling, using probabilistic distance rules to simulate where liquidations from 5x to 100x positions would be triggered
Each qualifying liquidation level is rendered using dynamic gradient lines and optional glow-enhanced zone visuals. The display adapts in real time to structural confirmation, volatility regime, and liquidity depth.

🧱 Structure-Sensitive Filtering: Noise reduction via multi-condition confirmation logic
🧠 Contextual Directional Bias: Zones filtered based on recent bullish/bearish transitions
⚙️ Fully Customizable: User-defined intensity thresholds, color palette, and range filtering
🧩 Why It’s Worth Paying For
This is not a mashup of public indicators. The script introduces an original, multi-layered architecture combining real-time Open Interest dynamics, structural analysis, and custom liquidation modeling.
Unlike speculative support/resistance plots or volume-only heatmaps, this tool is built to:
Detect liquidation zones before they cascade
React dynamically to market shifts
Filter noise through structural confirmation
Retain historical zones for visual learning and backtesting
✅ Compliance & Originality
This script was developed entirely in-house with original detection logic. No reused open-source components are included. Data requests are made through TradingView’s native .P_OI feeds, and all calculations, signal conditions, and visual logic were coded from scratch for this script.
⚠️ Risk Disclaimer & Access Policy
This script is a visual risk-awareness tool, not a signal generator or financial advice mechanism. No guarantee is made regarding future price action, liquidation triggers, or trading performance.
Use at your own discretion, with proper position sizing, risk management, and awareness of the market's inherent uncertainty.
🔒 Why This Script Is Invite-Only and Closed-Source
To protect its proprietary detection engine, this script is both closed-source and invite-only. The algorithm uses original methods to:
Aggregate real-time Open Interest delta across exchanges
Simulate leverage-based liquidation zones
Dynamically filter zones using structure and volatility layers
Opening the source would expose core detection logic to copycats or misuse. Likewise, access is limited to ensure the tool is used responsibly by serious traders and not distributed or repackaged unethically.
This model preserves the script’s quality, originality, and intended value.

IQ Liquidation Heatmap [TradingIQ]Introducing "IQ Liquidation Heatmap".
IQ Liquidation Heatmap is a proprietary indicator designed to identify and display price zones where large numbers of crypto position liquidations are likely to occur. It presents both current liquidation zones—areas where a cascade of liquidations would be triggered if the price is reached—and historical liquidation zones, where such events have taken place before.
Why Liquidations and Liquidation Cascades Are Important
Liquidation cascades are important because they can lead to rapid and significant price moves in the market. When many traders have set stop-loss orders or are highly leveraged at similar price levels, a move that hits these zones can force a large number of positions to close at once. This mass closing of positions not only accelerates the price movement but can also trigger further liquidations in a self-reinforcing loop.
Understanding where these cascades occur helps traders recognize potential support and resistance levels. It also provides insights into where market participants are most vulnerable, allowing for better risk management and more informed trading decisions. In short, liquidation cascades highlight key areas of market stress that can lead to increased volatility and opportunities for those prepared to act.
In short, if a lot of short positions are liquidated simultaneously, an upside liquidation cascade can occur. During an upside liquidation cascade, price will increase intensely to the upside with high volatility.
If a lot of long positions are liquidated simultaneously, a downside liquidation cascade can occur. During a downside liquidation cascade, price will decrease intensely to the downside with high volatility.
Knowing where these liquidation cascades can occur is invaluable information for crypto traders.
What IQ Liquidation Heatmap Does
IQ Liquidation Heatmap visually maps price levels that have seen or may see liquidation cascades. In plain terms, it shows you where many stop-losses or leveraged positions have been triggered in the past and where similar events can occur in the future. By highlighting these zones, the indicator helps you understand areas of market stress that could lead to rapid price movements.
The image above shows a historical liquidation cascade occurring. Clustered bubbles show large amounts of liquidations occurring - the more bubbles and the brighter they are, the stronger the liquidation cascade. During a liquidation cascade, there is a higher chance that a strong downtrend or uptrend will continue.
Current Liquidation Levels
The image above explains current liquidation levels.
Current liquidations levels are price areas where a large number of positions will be liquidated. If a liquidation level is above the current price, then it is considered a price zone where shorts will be liquidated. If a liquidation level is below the current price, then it is considered a price zone where longs will be liquidated.
In this image, bright green levels represent price areas where the highest amount of positions will be liquidated, while dark purple levels represent price areas where the lowest amount of positions will be liquidated.
An active (current) liquidation level will extend to the right beyond the current price because they have not yet been hit.
When strong liquidation levels (green - bright green) are hit and are above price, it is expected that an upside liquidation cascade will occur. When strong liquidations are hit and are below price, it is expected that a downside liquidation cascade will occur.
Historical Liquidation Levels
The image above explains historical liquidation levels.
Historical liquidation levels stop at the bar where they are hit, so you can see how price responded to hitting a key liquidation level.
In this image, bright green levels represent price areas where the highest amount of positions will be liquidated, while dark purple levels represent price areas where the lowest amount of positions will be liquidated.
If price moves up into a liquidation level, then shorts are being liquidated. If price moves down into a liquidation level, then longs are being liquidated. In the image, we can see that when bright green liquidation levels were hit - a liquidation cascade occurred. During this cascade, price continued to move strongly to the downside with high volatility.
During the uptrend after the downtrend, we can see some bright green liquidation levels were also hit - causing an upside liquidation cascade that resulted in strong, volatile upside price moves.
Gradient Bar
The image above explains the liquidations gradient bar.
The bar located on the right of your chart shows what colors correspond to low, medium, and high liquidation levels.
In this image, bright green means the liquidation level is strong, while dark purple means the liquidation level is weak. By extension, we would expect liquidation cascades or strong price moves to more likely occur when a cluster of bright green liquidation zones are hit. Additionally, we would expect a small reaction (or no reaction at all) when dark purple liquidation zones are hit.
Colors are customizable.
Liquidation Cluster Bar
The image above explains the liquidation cluster bar.
The liquidation cluster bar aggregates liquidation zones and shows the approximate price areas where the highest number of liquidation points are located.
In this image, the green portion of the bar represents where the largest number of traders will be liquidated in aggregate. While the purple portions of the bar shows where the smallest number of traders will be liquidated in aggregate.
This bar is useful for clustering liquidations zones across larger price areas to see where the highest number of traders are likely to be liquidated.
Concept Behind IQ Liquidation Heatmap
The basic idea is simple: in crypto markets, when price reaches certain levels, many traders’ positions can be liquidated at once, causing sharp moves in price. These zones are not random. They are built on historical price data and statistical analysis of past liquidation events. IQ Liquidation Heatmap captures this information and presents it in an easy-to-read format.
Key points include:
Current Liquidation Zones: These are the areas where, if the price moves into them, a high number of liquidations could occur.
Historical Liquidation Zones: These show where liquidation cascades have happened in the past, offering context on how the market has behaved under stress.
Key Features of IQ Liquidation Heatmap
Real-Time and Historical Data:
The indicator combines current market conditions with historical liquidation events. It updates dynamically to reflect real-time data while also showing past liquidation zones.
Visual Heatmap:
The display uses color gradients to represent the intensity of liquidation activity. Brighter or more intense colors indicate zones with a higher likelihood of triggering liquidations, while darker colors represent areas with lower activity.
User-Friendly Interface:
IQ Liquidation Heatmap is designed to be simple and straightforward. The visual output clearly marks the price levels of interest, making it easy for traders to see where liquidations might occur.
Proprietary Calculation:
The data behind the indicator is calculated using proprietary methods that consider historical price action, statistical ranges, and liquidity distribution. This means the indicator adapts to the specific characteristics of different crypto assets and timeframes.
Dynamic Updates:
The indicator recalculates its output in real time as new price data comes in. This ensures that the displayed liquidation zones are always current and reflect the latest market conditions.
How IQ Liquidation Heatmap Works
Data Collection:
IQ Liquidation Heatmap gathers historical price data as well as data on liquidation events. This data is used to identify key price ranges and levels where liquidations have previously occurred.
Statistical Analysis:
The indicator applies statistical methods—such as calculating medians and percentiles—to determine the significance of each price range. This analysis helps to rank the importance of various liquidation zones.
Liquidity Clustering:
Areas with a high concentration of liquidations are identified by examining how many positions or stop orders are clustered at specific price levels. These clusters are then represented on the chart using a heatmap style.
Visual Mapping:
The calculated data is overlaid onto the trading chart. Graphical elements like lines, boxes, or filled regions mark the identified liquidation zones. Color gradients help to differentiate between zones with high versus low liquidation risk.
Real-Time Recalculation:
As new price data becomes available, IQ Liquidation Heatmap continuously updates its analysis. This ensures that the indicator remains relevant throughout the trading session and can quickly adjust if market conditions change.
Using IQ Liquidation Heatmap
Traders can use IQ Liquidation Heatmap as an additional tool to support their trading decisions. Here are some practical applications:
Trade Entry And Exit Planning:
The visual cues provided by the indicator can serve as reference points for planning entries and exits. When the price nears a zone known for triggering liquidations, traders can adjust their strategies accordingly.
Risk Management:
By identifying key liquidation zones, traders can better manage risk. Knowing where a liquidation cascade is likely to occur helps in setting more effective stop-loss orders and managing overall exposure.
Market Structure Analysis:
The historical data offered by IQ Liquidation Heatmap gives insight into how the market has reacted in the past during periods of stress. This historical perspective can help in understanding broader market trends and potential future movements.
Summary
IQ Liquidation Heatmap is a straightforward indicator that provides clear visual information about price levels where liquidation cascades have occurred or are likely to occur. By merging historical data with real-time updates and proprietary liquidity analysis, it offers traders a neutral and data-driven way to understand areas of potential market stress for entries and exits. The indicator is simple to use and does not require complex adjustments, making it suitable for traders looking for clear visual cues in the crypto market.
By incorporating IQ Liquidation Heatmap into your analysis toolkit, you can gain a better understanding of key price zones, support effective risk management, and identify liquidation cascades before they occur and potentially identify breakouts before they occur.

This indicator helps traders identify potential liquidity zones by detecting significant volume levels at key highs and lows. By using color intensity and scoring numbers, it visually highlights areas where liquidity concentration may be highest while incorporating trend analysis through EMAs.
🔵Key Features:
Liquidity Zone Detection: Automatically detects and marks areas where significant volume has accumulated at swing highs and lows.
Dynamic Box Plotting: Draws liquidity boxes at key highs and lows, updating based on market conditions.
Volume Strength Scaling: Uses a scoring system to rank liquidity zones, helping traders identify the strongest areas.
Color Intensity for Volume Strength: More transperent color indicate less liquidity, while less transperent represent stronger volume concentrations.
Customizable Display: Users can adjust the number of displayed liquidity zones and modify colors to suit their trading style.
Real-Time Liquidity Adaptation: As price interacts with liquidity zones, the indicator updates dynamically to reflect changing market conditions.
Auto-Stopping Liquidity Zones: Liquidity boxes automatically stop extending to the right once price crosses them, preventing outdated zones from interfering with live market action.
Trend Analysis with EMAs: Includes two optional EMAs (fast and slow) to help traders analyze market trends. Users can enable or disable these EMAs in the settings and use crossover signals for trend confirmation.
🔵Usage:
Identify Key Liquidity Areas: Use color intensity and transparency levels to determine high-impact liquidity zones.
Support & Resistance Confirmation: Liquidity zones can act as potential support and resistance levels, enhancing trade decision-making.
Market Structure Analysis: Observe how price interacts with liquidity to anticipate breakout or reversal points.
Scalping & Swing Trading: Works for both short-term and long-term traders looking for liquidity-based trade setups.
Liquidation Map Insight: A liquidity map highlights areas where large amounts of leveraged positions (both long and short) are likely to get liquidated. Since many traders use leverage, sharp price movements can trigger a cascade of liquidations, leading to rapid price surges or drops. Monitoring these liquidity zones and trends helps traders anticipate where price might react strongly.
Liquidity Location Detector is an essential tool for traders seeking to map out potential liquidity zones, providing deeper insights into market structure and trading volume dynamics.
Liquidations Levels [RunRox]📈 Liquidation Levels is an indicator designed to visualize key price levels on the chart, highlighting potential reversal points where liquidity may trigger significant price movements.
Liquidity is essential in trading - price action consistently moves from one liquidity area to another. We’ve created this free indicator to help traders easily identify and visualize these liquidity zones on their charts.
📌 HOW IT WORKS
The indicator works by marking visible highs and lows, points widely recognized by traders. Because many traders commonly place their stop-loss orders beyond these visible extremes, significant liquidity accumulates behind these points. By analyzing trading volume and visible extremes, the indicator estimates areas where clusters of stop-loss orders (liquidity pools) are likely positioned, giving traders valuable insights into potential market moves.
As shown in the screenshot above, the price aggressively moved toward Sell-Side liquidity. After sweeping this liquidity level for the second time, it reversed and began targeting Buy-Side liquidity. This clearly demonstrates how price moves from one liquidity pool to another, continually seeking out liquidity to fuel its next directional move.
As shown in the screenshot, price levels with fewer anticipated trader stop-losses are indicated by less vibrant, faded colors. When the lines become more saturated and vivid, it signals that sufficient liquidity - in the form of clustered stop-losses has accumulated, potentially attracting price movement toward these areas.
⚙️ SETTINGS
🔹 Period – Increasing this setting makes the marked highs and lows more significant, filtering out minor price swings.
🔹 Low Volume – Select the color displayed for low-liquidity levels.
🔹 High Volume – Select the color displayed for high-liquidity levels.
🔹 Levels to Display – Choose between 1 and 15 nearest liquidity levels to be shown on the chart.
🔹 Volume Sensitivity – Adjust the sensitivity of the indicator to volume data on the chart.
🔹 Show Volume – Enable or disable the display of volume values next to each liquidity level.
🔹 Max Age – Limits displayed liquidity levels to those not older than the specified number of bars.
✅ HOW TO USE
One method of using this indicator is demonstrated in the screenshot above.
Price reached a high-liquidity level and showed an initial reaction. We then waited for a second confirmation - a liquidity sweep followed by a clear market structure break - to enter the trade.
Our target is set at the liquidity accumulated below, with the stop-loss placed behind the manipulation high responsible for the liquidity sweep.
By following this approach, you can effectively identify trading opportunities using this indicator.
🔶 We’ve made every effort to create an indicator that’s as simple and user-friendly as possible. We’ll continue to improve and enhance it based on your feedback and suggestions in the future.
Synthetic OrderBookHow to Use the Enhanced Synthetic OrderBook Indicator
This indicator creates a synthetic representation of market order book data using price action, volume, and other technical factors. It's designed to help you identify significant market imbalances and potential price reversals, especially useful for crypto trading.
Overview
The Enhanced Synthetic OrderBook provides three different view modes, each offering unique insights into market conditions:
1. **Order Book View** - Shows simulated order book depth at different price levels
2. **Delta View** - Displays the imbalance between buying and selling pressure
3. **Liquidation View** - Highlights potential liquidation events that could drive price movements
How to Use Each View Mode
Order Book View
This view simulates what you would see in an exchange order book, showing bids (buy orders) in green and asks (sell orders) in orange/red.
**How to interpret:**
- **Green bars (bids)**: Represent buying interest at different price levels below the current price
- **Red bars (asks)**: Represent selling interest at different price levels above the current price
- **Bar height**: Taller bars indicate stronger buying/selling interest
- **Threshold lines**: The green line shows the bullish threshold, while the red line shows the bearish threshold
**Trading signals:**
- When green bars (bids) consistently exceed the bullish threshold, consider buying
- When red bars (asks) consistently exceed the bearish threshold, consider selling
- Look for imbalances where bids are significantly larger than asks (or vice versa)
Delta View
This view shows the difference between buying and selling pressure across different price ranges. It's more focused on the imbalance rather than raw order book depth.
**How to interpret:**
- **Green bars**: Positive delta (more buying than selling pressure)
- **Red bars**: Negative delta (more selling than buying pressure)
- **Threshold lines**: Indicate significant levels of imbalance
- **Zero line**: Neutral point between buying and selling pressure
**Trading signals:**
- When delta stays consistently above the bullish threshold, it suggests strong buying pressure
- When delta stays consistently below the bearish threshold, it suggests strong selling pressure
- Changes in direction of the delta can signal potential reversals
- When the bids/asks delta shallows
Liquidation View
This view estimates potential liquidation events in the market, which often lead to sharp price movements.
**How to interpret:**
- **Green bars**: Potential long liquidations (forced selling from leveraged long positions)
- **Red bars**: Potential short liquidations (forced buying from leveraged short positions)
- **Bar height**: Indicates the estimated severity of liquidations
**Trading signals:**
- Large liquidation events often lead to price continuation in that direction
- After a series of liquidations, the market may become exhausted, suggesting a potential reversal
- Short liquidations (red) tend to create faster upward price movements than long liquidations
Tips for Beginners
1. **Start with the Order Book view** to get a feel for buying and selling pressure
2. **Use the Delta view** for confirmation of trends and potential reversals
3. **Check the Liquidation view** when markets are volatile to anticipate sharp moves
4. **Watch for strong buy/sell signals** (green/red arrows) which suggest high-confidence trade opportunities
5. **Customize the threshold levels** in the settings to match the volatility of the asset you're trading
6. **Higher timeframes** (4H, daily) generally provide more reliable signals than lower timeframes
## Important Settings to Adjust
- **Order Book/Delta Thresholds**: Adjust these based on the asset's volatility (higher for more volatile assets)
- **Show Bids/Asks**: Toggle to focus on specific directions
- **Adaptive Threshold**: Enables the indicator to automatically adjust sensitivity based on market conditions
- **Volume Profile**: Uses historical volume distribution to improve accuracy
This indicator works best when combined with other confirmation tools like support/resistance levels, trend analysis, and traditional technical indicators.
FU Candle Indicator V3.2What the FU Candle Indicator does:
First we need to understand what FU candles are. There's bullish and bearish FU candles.
Bullish FU candles are candles that have a long wick that takes out the previous candles low, then turns around and closes above the high of the previous candle.
Bearish FU candles are candles that have a long wick that takes out the previous candles high, then turns around and closes below the low of the previous candle.
Then there's so called attempted FU candles (ATT FU)
The difference between normal FU candles and ATT FU candles is, that the ATT FU candle doesn't close above/below the high/low of the previous candle but only above the previous candle's body close.
Bullish ATT FU Candle:
Bearish ATT FU Candle:
Detection of Bullish FU Candles:
Bullish FU Candles are detected by measuring the distance between the low of the previous candle and the low of the current candle.
Then the distance between the previous candles high and the current candles close price are measured.
If current candle low < previous candle low and current candle close > previous candle high = Bullish FU Candle.
Detection of Bullish ATT FU Candles:
Bullish ATT FU Candles are detected by measuring the distance between the low of the previous candle and the low of the current candle.
Then the distance between the previous candles close or open price and the current candles close price are measured. If the previous candle closed bearish, the open price is used for comparison, if the previous candle closed bullish, the close price is used for comparison.
If current candle low < previous candle low and current candle close > previous candle open or close = Bullish ATT FU Candle.
Detection of Bearish FU Candles:
Bearish FU Candles are detected by measuring the distance between the high of the previous candle and the high of the current candle.
Then the distance between the previous candles low, AND the current candles close price are measured.
If current candle high > previous candle high, AND current candle close < previous candle low = Bearish FU Candle.
Detection of Bearish ATT FU Candles:
Bearish ATT FU Candles are detected by measuring the distance between the high of the previous candle and the high of the current candle.
Then the distance between the previous candles close or open price and the current candles close price are measured. If the previous candle closed bearish, the open price is used for comparison, if the previous candle closed bullish, the close price is used for comparison.
If current candle high > previous candle high and current candle close < previous candle open or close = Bearish ATT FU Candle.
What makes this script unique?
It shows and liquidity grab and a break of structure on a lower timeframe in one candle.
It allows to adjust the settings for the asset and timeframe you're using
The built in filters (Fractal Filter and EMA Filter) are both optional but allow to filter out certain candles and most importantly it leaves room for experimentation and optimisation to your trading style.
Input Settings and how to use them:
Bullish FU Candle Color --> This setting is to set the color for bullish FU candles.
Bearish FU Candle Color --> This setting is to set the color for bearish FU candles.
Chart --> This setting enables you to display FU's on different timeframes instead of only the current time. It's set to current timeframe by default.
Liq. Grab in Points --> This is the strength of the liquidity grab. By how many points has the current candle taken out the low/ high of the previous candle. It's set to 20 by default but it has to be adjusted to the timeframe and asset you're using.
Engulfing in Points --> This the strength of the engulfing of the previous candle. It measures the distance of the current close price to the open, close, high or low of the previous candle. It depends if the current candle is bullish or bearish and if the previous candle was bullish or bearish and if ATT FUs are enabled but this setting applies to all methods. It's set to 20 by default but you have to adjust it to the asset and timeframe you're using.
Min. Size in Points --> This setting is to filter out tiny candles. It measures the overall size of the FU candle from low to high. It's set to 20 by default but you have to adjust it to the asset and timeframe you are using.
Min. Body Size in Points --> This setting is to filter out FU candles that have a tiny body. It measures the size of the body from open to close. It's set to 20 by default but you have to adjust it to the asset and timeframe you are using.
Max. Body Size in Points --> This setting is to filter out FU candles that have a huge body. It measures the size of the body from open to close. It's set to 10000 by default but you have to adjust it to the asset and timeframe you are using.
Show ATT FU Candles --> ATT FU Candles are FU's where the body only engulfs the previous candles body but not the wick. This type of FU candles is just as valid as the strong FU's where the Body and the wick of the previous Candle is engulfed. The setting is enabled by default.
Rejection Filter --> This setting is used filter out FU candles where the opposite side rejection is stronger than the body direction of the FU. This filters out a lot of traps. It's disabled by default.
Fractal Filter --> FU's are only valid if they broke a fractal of the past x candles. This filters out some of the FU candles that are inside a range and therefore invalid. This is an optional filter and disabled by default.
EMA Filter --> FU's are only if they are above/ below the EMA. This is to filter out most of the FU candles that are inside ranges. The EMA period can be set too. This is an optional filter and enabled and EMA length set to 7 by default. You can enable it and/ or change the length of the EMA to fit your trading style.
Show Entry Lines --> The entry line setting has been changed in terms of styling. The upper and lower line has been removed. Now only the 50% retracement line of the candle body is displayed and the line type, color, strength and length can be set to keep charts as clean as possible.
Alert Timeframes --> You can select the timeframes for which you want to receive an alert if you set and alert for the FU Candle indicator. If you set an alert for the FU Candle Indicator it will send an alert for every FU candle on every selected timeframe.
TF1-TF8 --> This setting is to enable or disable alerts for timeframe 1 - timeframe 8. By default all alerts are disabled, I recommend only enabling the ones that you actually use.
Recommended use:
A bullish FU candle doesn't necessarily mean it's a long and vice versa a bearish FU candle doesn't necessarily mean it's a short. In fact, most FU candles are traps. Often times you'll see a bullish FU candle starting a bearish reversal.
Whenever you see an FU Candle check the following:
Did the FU candle take relevant liquidity?
Is the FU Candle in line with the overall bias or does it go against the bias?
Where did the FU react? Example: A bearish FU candle that reacts in a bullish FVG is a perfect long entry and vice versa.
A bullish FU candle that takes out a relevant swing high can often be a fake-out and price can immediately reverse as the next candle opens.
Timing is also very important. Usually the valid FU candles happen after a strong move to one direction during high volume times and right before or right after a new candle opens on a higher timeframe.
Examples of valid setups:
Nr. 1) Mitigation Setup
Overall bullish on the higher time frame, liquidity grab to the downside, shift in momentum, strong move to the upside left a FVG. later price comes back into the FVG and forms a FU candle --> perfect long trade targeting the opposite side of the range.
Entry either at close of the FU or at the 50% retracement.
Nr. 2) Trap Setup
Clear bullish trend respecting the trend line, bearish FU candle forms but it didn't take any relevant liquidity to the upside. Only internal range liquidity. Perfect long entry using a buy limit below the lower wick of the FU candle with the SL below the nearest low.
Nr. 3) Liquidity Grab Setup
Bearish trend, price comes up aggressively and takes out a high and forms an FU Candle. Market entry short at close of the FU candle or at the 50% retracement of the FU candle or by putting a limit order right above the wick of the candle that follows the FU candle, targeting the opposite side of the range.
Nr. 4) Fake Breakout Setup
Price takes out a significant HTF low, then makes at least 2 BOS on the LTF and forms an Order Block or leaves an FVG. Price forms a bearish U that fails to close below the FVG or Orderblock.
Market entry long at the close of the bearish FU targeting the opposite side of the range. Vice versa for shorts. In simple terms: Bullish FUs at the top of the range and bearish FUs at the bottom of the range are usually always traps.
Sometimes price takes out the high/low of a trap FU before reversing aggressively so you can also have a limit order below the low of the bearish FU or above the high of a bullish FU in this case. But you risk missing the trade.
Entry Methods:
Entry Type 1) Market Entry at the close of the FU candle. --> Never miss a trade, not the best RRR.
Entry Type 2 Limit Entry at the 50% retracement of the body of the FU candle. --> Miss some of the trades but better RRR.
Entry Type 3 Limit order below the wick of the candle that follows the FU candle. --> Miss quite a lot of trades but by far best RRR.
Why this is a closed source script:
The source code of this script is not open because I have spent several years of my life developing it and I use it in all my trading bots.
Also I'm open for feedback and will modify/ update the script for free if I get input that can make it better.
For questions, please reach out via DM or check out my youtube channel. I have several videos explaining in detail how I use these candles, which are valid and which aren't.
[Spinn] LeveragesThis indicator is designed to visually measure the levels of the position at different leverage values. It acts as a "ruler", the level of levels at which it can cause liquidation, which helps the trader estimate whether it is gradually risky to use this or that leverage.
The indicator works in two modes:
Basic mode:
Levels of prescriptions for standard leverage values (1x, 2x, 5x, etc.), allowing you to quickly assess the risk of consequences when using these coefficients.
Pivots mode:
Levels are built on the basis of local extremes (pivots) on the visible section of the chart, tied to key reversal points.
The pivot is determined by the number of bars to the left and right of it, which is set as a source (the number of bars to the right of each specific roller does not matter).
In this mode, levels will be shown only for the visible part of the chart.
Color marking: green indicates liquidation levels for longs, red - for shorts. Each approach corresponds to a price tag for ease of use.
It is important to note that the indicator uses pure coefficients, without taking into account exchange commissions and other adjustments. Therefore, the calculated levels may not coincide with the actual liquidation levels on the exchanges.

Данный индикатор предназначен для визуальной оценки уровней ликвидации позиций при разных значениях плеча. Он выступает в роли «линейки», показывая уровни, на которых может произойти ликвидация, что помогает трейдеру прикинуть, насколько рискованно использовать то или иное плечо.
Индикатор работает в двух режимах:
Режим Basic (базовый):
Уровни привязаны к стандартным значениям плеча (1x, 2x, 5x и т. д.), позволяя быстро оценить риск ликвидации при использовании этих коэффициентов.
Режим Pivots (пивотный):
Уровни строятся на основе локальных экстремумов (пивотов) на видимом участке графика, привязываясь к ключевым точкам разворота.
Пивот определяется по количеству баров слева и справа от него, что задается в настройках (количество баров справа от пивота особой роли не играет).
В этом режиме будут показаны уровни только для видимой части графика.
Цветовая маркировка: зелёным обозначены уровни ликвидаций лонгов, красным — шортов. Каждому уровню соответствует метка с ценой для удобства работы.
Важно отметить, что индикатор использует чистые коэффициенты, без учета комиссий бирж и других поправок. Поэтому рассчитанные уровни могут не совпадать с фактическими уровнями ликвидации на биржах.
