ProTrade Liquidity Pool Sweep EA
The ProTrade Liquidity Pool Sweep EA is an automated trading tool designed to identify and trade liquidity grab patterns in the forex market. It detects when price sweeps above or below established swing points—often indicating institutional stop hunts—and enters reversal trades with tight, structure-based stop losses.
Strategy Overview
This EA operates on the principle that liquidity pools above swing highs and below swing lows are frequently targeted by larger market participants. When price briefly breaches these levels but fails to sustain the move (confirmed by candle close rejection), the EA interprets this as a liquidity sweep and enters a reversal trade in the opposite direction.
Key Features
Liquidity Sweep Detection
- Identifies swing highs and lows using configurable lookback periods
- Confirms sweeps only when price extends beyond swing points by a minimum pip threshold
- Optional wick rejection filter requires candles to close back inside the prior range
- Automatic invalidation of swing levels after trade execution to prevent re-entry
Session Timing Filter
- Restricts trading to high-liquidity windows: London and New York sessions
- Configurable session hours based on broker server time
- Optional disable for 24/5 trading across all sessions
Risk Management
- Dynamic position sizing based on account balance and user-defined risk percentage
- Fixed reward-to-risk ratio for consistent trade expectancy
- Spread filter prevents entries during unfavorable market conditions
- Stop loss placed at the extreme of the sweep candle for tight risk control
Visual Dashboard & Controls
- Real-time display of active session status, last detected swing levels, and account metrics
- One-click toggle to pause/resume automated trading
- Manual "Close All" button for immediate position management
- Optional chart styling applies user preferences on load

- Position size is calculated dynamically based on stop distance and risk percentage.
- Stop loss is placed at the sweep extreme; take profit is set using the configured reward ratio.
- The dashboard updates in real time to reflect current market structure and account status.
