Order Block Liquidity Detector
- Indicateurs
- Version: 1.0
- Activations: 20
Order Block & Liquidity Detector is a Smart Money Concepts (SMC)-based indicator that identifies institutional footprint zones directly on your chart — helping traders spot potential reversal and continuation areas where large market participants may have entered positions.
Key Features:
1. Automatic Order Block Detection
The indicator scans for swing highs and swing lows using a configurable lookback length, then identifies the last opposing candle before the swing — the classic order block definition. Both bullish and bearish order blocks are tracked independently, with a configurable display count for each.
2. Order Block Lifecycle Tracking
Each order block goes through three distinct states, visually distinguished by color and border style:
- Pending — freshly detected, drawn with a dashed border, not yet retested
- Tested — price has returned into the zone at least once
- Breaker — price has closed through the zone, flipping its role (a broken bullish OB can act as future resistance, and vice versa)
Old, invalidated blocks are automatically removed from the chart to keep it clean.
3. Liquidity Zone Mapping
Identifies untapped swing highs and lows as liquidity pools — areas where stop orders are likely clustered — and draws them as shaded zones with a center reference line. Zone thickness adapts automatically based on recent volatility (ATR-based margin).
4. Body or Wick-Based Zones
Choose whether order block boundaries are calculated from candle bodies (open/close) or full range (high/low), depending on your preferred definition.
5. Fully Customizable Visuals
Independent color controls for bullish/bearish blocks in each state (pending, active, breaker), plus separate colors for buy-side and sell-side liquidity zones.
Who is this for?
Traders who use Smart Money Concepts / ICT-style methodology — order blocks, liquidity sweeps, and breaker blocks — and want these zones automatically detected and maintained on the chart instead of drawing them manually.
Inputs:
Swing detection length, number of blocks displayed per side, body vs wick mode, liquidity zone thickness divisor, number of visible liquidity zones, and full color customization for every state.
Notes:
- Works on any symbol and timeframe
- Compatible with MetaTrader 5
- No external DLLs required
- Object-based drawing (no repainting of historical values)
