Liquidity Swings

Liquidity Swings Indicator for NinjaTrader
Map liquidity. Measure strength. Trade with conviction.

The Liquidity Swings Indicator is designed to identify and analyze high-impact swing points where liquidity accumulates and market reactions occur.

Unlike traditional swing indicators, this tool goes beyond structure by incorporating volume profile analysis, retest tracking, and higher timeframe validation—giving you a complete view of where the market is likely to react.

This aligns closely with ICT concepts such as external liquidity, helping traders locate areas where stops accumulate and institutions engage the market.

The Concept

Markets move from liquidity to liquidity.

Liquidity Swings identifies:

• Swing Highs: Potential sell-side liquidity zones
• Swing Lows: Potential buy-side liquidity zones

Then it enhances them with:

• ✔ Volume analysis at each swing
• ✔ Retest tracking (how many times price respects the level)
• ✔ Higher timeframe validation

This transforms simple swing points into high-confidence trading zones.

What You See on the Chart

• ✔ Highlighted swing zones (wick or full candle)
• ✔ Volume displayed at each swing
• ✔ Retest counts per level
• ✔ Broken levels shown as dashed lines
• ✔ Clear bullish and bearish liquidity areas
