Liquidity Grab Detector (Stop Hunt Sniper) v2.2
📌 Purpose
This indicator detects Stop Hunts (Liquidity Grabs) — false breakouts above/below recent highs or lows — filtered by trend direction, volatility, and volume conditions.
It is designed for scalpers and intraday traders who want to identify high-probability reversal zones.
🧠 How It Works
1. Key Logic
Detects previous swing high / swing low over the Lookback Bars.
Marks a false breakout when price moves beyond the level and closes back inside.
Requires a volume spike on the breakout to confirm liquidity sweep.
2. Trend Filter (EMA 50)
Bullish signals only if price is above EMA 50.
Bearish signals only if price is below EMA 50.
This removes most counter-trend stop hunts.
3. ADX Filter
Signals appear only when ADX < Max ADX (low-trend conditions).
This avoids false signals in strong trending markets.
📈 How to Use
Green Arrows: Bullish stop hunt (potential long entry).
Red Arrows: Bearish stop hunt (potential short entry).
Works best in range conditions, liquidity zones, or near session highs/lows.
Combine with order flow, volume profile, or price action for extra confirmation.
Recommended Timeframes: 1m–15m for scalping; 30m–1h for intraday.
Markets: Crypto, Forex, Indices.
⚙️ Inputs
Lookback Bars — swing detection
Volume Spike Multiplier
EMA Length (trend filter)
Min Retrace — how much price must return inside range
Max ADX — trend filter sensitivity
