Name: Edo Liquidity Sweeps
Author: Edolab Markets

Edo Liquidity Sweeps isolates one of the most revealing events in price action: the moment price wicks beyond a swing high or low to take the resting liquidity, then closes back on the other side —the classic trap that often turns price around. It marks each sweep on the chart and follows it through three clear states —Detected, Confirmed and Faded— so you can separate the sweeps that actually reversed price from the ones that failed, all validated on closed bars so it never repaints. It is the sweep specialist of the Structure family and complements Edo Liquidity Zones, which maps the liquidity pools these sweeps take. Built under the Edolab Markets philosophy: structure before signals, clarity over noise, context before confirmation.

Watch it in action

Features

Sweep detection on closed bars: a wick pierces a swing high or low to take the resting liquidity, then a close on the opposite side rejects the level.
Buy-side and sell-side logic: bearish sweeps take the liquidity above a swing high, bullish sweeps take the liquidity below a swing low.
Three-state lifecycle —Detected, Confirmed and Faded— evaluated on every closed bar from the sweep candle's own range.
Three Swing Profiles —Scalper (5), Swing (10) and Long Term (21)— that set the resolution of the liquidity being tracked.
Information panel with the last sweep and the live count by state, plus five sweep-lifecycle alerts, all repaint-free.

Use Cases

Wait for confirmation: treat a Detected sweep as a heads-up and the Confirmed state —follow-through past the sweep candle's extreme— as the more reliable read.
Read the fade as a warning: a Faded sweep means the trap failed and the level was genuinely broken, so the reversal idea can be dropped.
Trade sweeps in confluence: a confirmed sweep taking liquidity at a demand zone or a higher-timeframe support is far more solid than an isolated one.
Combine with Edo Liquidity Zones: the zones say where liquidity sits, the sweeps say when it is taken — together they close the liquidity read.

Configuration

Configuration is grouped into functional blocks in the TradingView Inputs tab. Detection sets the Swing Profile (Scalper 5, Swing 10 or Long Term 21 bars each side, which fixes where liquidity is tracked) and Max Sweeps Kept (12, the maximum number of sweeps drawn on the chart). Style covers the bullish sweep color (teal), the bearish sweep color (red), the faded color (grey), Label Size (Tiny / Small / Normal) and Theme Mode (Dark / Light). The Panel block toggles Show Panel and sets Panel Position (Top Right by default, any of four corners) and Panel Size (Tiny / Small / Normal). Defaults are calibrated to work without adjustment on stocks, crypto, forex, indices and futures across any timeframe, with the Swing Profile the main lever to match the sensitivity of the tracked liquidity to your horizon. Full configuration details are available in the official manual.
