Wick Sweep & Liquidity Grab Detector

147
This indicator helps you spot those subtle yet powerful market moments when price just barely sweeps the wick of the previous candle — triggering stops and grabbing liquidity — before pulling back to close inside the prior range.

These wick sweeps are classic signs of:

  • Stop hunts
  • Liquidity grabs
  • Trap candles
  • Or even smart money entries


You'll see:

  • 🟢 A green dot when price wicks below the previous low but closes back inside — potential bullish reversal zone.
  • 🔴 A red dot when price wicks above the previous high but closes back inside — potential bearish reversal zone.


Great for traders using:

  • Smart Money Concepts (SMC)
  • ICT-style setups
  • Reversal scalps
  • Or anyone looking to trade around liquidity zones


Includes built-in alerts for both bullish and bearish wick sweeps, and is designed with a clean, minimalist look to reduce chart noise.

Use this tool in confluence with your other edge — order blocks, imbalance zones, BOS/CHOCH, etc.
