How to read structure, combine the indicators and trade with context — practical writing, no hype.
Edo Liquidity Sweeps explained
Edo Liquidity Sweeps detects the moment a wick pierces a swing high or low to take the liquidity resting there and then closes back on the other side, and follows each sweep from Detected through Confirmed or Faded — so you see not just where liquidity was taken, but whether the reversal followed through.
Read article →What is a liquidity sweep?
A liquidity sweep is when price runs a swing high or low to take the orders resting beyond it, then rejects and closes back the other way. What it is, buy-side versus sell-side, and why the trap so often precedes a reversal.
Read article →Edo Order Blocks explained
Edo Order Blocks detects the institutional order blocks that precede a displacement, grades each one on a 0–100 quality score and tracks it from Active through Tested to Mitigated — so you see not just where a zone is, but how much it is worth.
Read article →What is an order block?
An order block is the candle where large orders were placed before price left the level with force. What it is, why displacement confirms it, and why some blocks are worth far more than others.

Read article →Edo Multi-Anchor VWAP explained
Edo Multi-Anchor VWAP runs five anchored VWAPs at once — session, weekly, monthly, custom and event — wraps each in standard-deviation bands, grades price on a five-state premium / discount engine and reads mean reversion across four timeframes on a −8 to +8 consensus.
