With 24 years of trading experience and 14 years in programming, my journey has been one of constant learning. From an early age, I was fascinated by the challenge of understanding the markets, that unpredictable universe... It was then that I discovered how technology could translate complexity - Version: 1.0

Liquidity Pool Radar maps the price levels where stop-losses cluster, flags the moment price sweeps them and snaps back, and tells you whether that sweep landed on an abnormally wide spread. It turns liquidity theory into a clean, real-time tool you can read at a glance.

What makes it different
Most liquidity tools stop at drawing levels. Liquidity Pool Radar adds a built-in spread lens: every sweep is checked against the instrument's own spread history. If it happened while the spread was in its top percentile, a thin, low-liquidity moment where fills are poor and fakeouts are common, the arrow turns red and reads HUNT. So you can tell a clean reversal from a spread-driven spike, and you know when conditions are too messy to trade.
What you get
- Live liquidity pools: red lines for stops above the market, blue for stops below. Stronger clusters are flagged x2, x3.
- Sweep detection: a gold arrow the moment price wicks a pool and snaps back.
- Spread lens: the arrow turns red with a HUNT tag when the sweep lands on an abnormally wide spread.
- On-chart panel with a live spread gauge (CALM / ELEVATED / HUNT ZONE), the nearest pools with their distance to price, and a sweep/hunt counter.
- Popup, push and email alerts.
- Any symbol, any timeframe. Auto-scales with ATR. Native code, no DLLs.
Best on
Volatile instruments (gold, indices, crypto) where sweeps are frequent. The pool map works on every timeframe. The spread lens is most active on lower timeframes (M1 to M5), where the spread varies bar to bar; on higher timeframes it lights up around spread-widening events such as session opens, news and rollover.
How to use it
- Read the pools as magnets: price gravitates toward untested liquidity.
- A sweep and snap-back at a pool is a potential reversal. If the gauge is CALM, it is more likely a genuine move. If it reads HUNT, treat it as a low-liquidity spike and wait for confirmation.
- When the gauge is red, spreads are wide: entries are poor and stops are easily run. Often the best trade is to stay out.
Main inputs
- Swing sensitivity and cluster tolerance
- Max pools and max distance from price
- Spread history bars, elevated and hunt percentiles
- Colors, line width, panel position
- Alerts: popup, push, email, and a hunt-only option

Note
This is a decision-support map, not a signal service. It shows you where the liquidity is and the conditions around it. It does not promise profits, and no indicator can. Trade at your own risk.
