Liquidation Radar

Crypto Liquidation Radar

First, a LIQ event. Then, the price reaction. Direction confirmation is a separate step.

After a sharp rise or fall, the main question is: will the move continue, or is the market preparing to reverse?

Crypto Liquidation Radar helps you assess this situation on your MetaTrader 5 chart. It highlights unusual price movements with increased volume, shows the strength of each detected event, and marks the confirmed LONG or SHORT direction.

Circles draw attention to events. Triangles confirm direction. The colored line helps you follow the trend.

What You Get

• Visible LIQ events. Spot areas where price moves beyond its recent range with increased activity.
• Confirmed LONG/SHORT signals. Get a direction reference after the selected conditions are met on closed candles.
• Event strength scores. Distinguish Normal, Strong, and Extreme events by circle size and Event Score.
• Market context in one panel. Check the trend regime, latest event, and confirmation progress.
• Terminal alerts. Stay informed about selected events without constantly watching the chart.

Instead of treating every sharp price move the same way, you get a clear observation process: event → reaction → confirmation.

How to Read the Chart

Turquoise LONG LIQ Circle

Price has moved below the previous range, and volume and price movement meet the event detection conditions. This highlights an area where you may want to watch how buyers and sellers respond.

Red SHORT LIQ Circle

Price has moved above the previous range while meeting the increased activity conditions. The indicator highlights the event so you can assess whether the move continues or starts to lose strength.

LONG and SHORT Triangles

Triangles show a confirmed regime change. Price must meet the conditions for moving beyond the smoothed channel and remain on the required side for the selected number of closed candles.

A LIQ circle draws your attention. A triangle provides separate direction confirmation. They are calculated independently: a LIQ event is not required for a LONG/SHORT signal.

Example of Use

After a sharp decline, a LONG LIQ event appears. You notice the event and watch what price does next.

If a LONG signal then forms, the indicator confirms a bullish regime. You can compare this sequence with your own levels, entry conditions, and risk rules.

For SHORT LIQ, the process is reversed: an event after an upward range break, observation of the price reaction, and a separate check for bearish confirmation.

LIQ events may appear before a reversal, but they can also occur during a continuing move. The indicator therefore helps you observe and confirm, rather than treat every circle as an entry signal.

Understand Event Strength at a Glance

Each registered event receives an Event Score from 0 to 100:

• Normal — below 65.
• Strong — 65 to 79.
• Extreme — 80 or higher.

The score considers increased volume, candle range relative to ATR, and how far price moves beyond the previous level. When suitable data is available, a decline in Open Interest can also contribute to the score.

A higher score means the event detection conditions are more pronounced. It is an event score, not a percentage probability of a reversal or a profitable trade.

Four Readings Always in View

The top-right panel answers four questions:

• Active Regime: which direction is currently confirmed?
• Last Event: which LIQ event was detected most recently?
• Event Score: how strong was that event?
• Pending Setup: is a new LONG/SHORT candidate forming, and how many confirmation candles have been counted?

The latest event and the current trend may point in different directions. The panel makes that difference easy to see.

Adjust It to Your Analysis Style

Choose from four smoothing methods: EMA, HMA, JMA, or McGinley.

Trend signals and LIQ events have separate settings. You can increase the number of confirmation candles, widen the reversal buffer, change the minimum event score, or adjust signal spacing.

The default settings let you start exploring the indicator immediately. Colors, shading, labels, marker sizes, and panel margins can all be adjusted to suit your chart.

Understanding LIQ Data

Crypto Liquidation Radar detects events using price and volume.

Calculations use your broker’s quotes and volume data. You can select real or tick volume. Open Interest is optional and requires a suitable OI data symbol in your terminal. If OI data is unavailable, the indicator continues using price and volume.

Important Features

Confirmed signals and LIQ events are generated on closed candles. The line and candle color on the current open candle may change as price moves.

The indicator calculates values for the symbol and timeframe of the current chart. LIQ detection requires sufficient history and available volume. If volume is unavailable, the trend engine continues to work. Differences between brokers’ data may produce different readings.
