Liquidity Defense
Our flagship Plus indicator: liquidity pools above highs and below lows, with the real orders and liquidations sitting at each pool.
What it shows
Buy-side and sell-side pools above highs and below lows with formation, defense profile and sweeps, from real trades, with the orders and liquidations at the nearest pools.
How to read it
Pools form where several highs or lows line up, because stops and breakout orders gather there. The defense profile shows how much was traded at the pool, and a sweep is marked when price runs through it and closes back. The panel lists the nearest pools with the real orders and liquidations at each one.
What it can't tell you
A pool is where stops are likely to sit, inferred from the chart. The real orders shown are those visible in the book.
