📈 AstroTrading Liquidation Bars Identify High-Volume Candles with Long Wicks for Potential Market Reversals Author: Bugra Comez | Version: 1.0 | Category: Volume Analysis
🔍 Indicator Overview This indicator detects liquidation bars – candles with abnormally high volume and elongated wicks – which often signal panic buying/selling, stop hunts, or trend exhaustion. It highlights these bars with a red background and an explosion emoji (💥) above them, enabling traders to spot potential reversals or liquidity zones.
⚙️ Parameters Customize the sensitivity of the signals using these inputs:
Volume Threshold (threshold):
Description: Multiplier applied to the 233-period volume moving average. A value of 2 means the current volume must be twice the average to trigger a signal.
Usage: Higher values reduce false signals but may miss weaker liquidity events.
Wick Ratio (wick_ratio):
Description: Minimum ratio of wick length to body size. For example, 0.5 means the wick (upper or lower) must be at least 50% of the candle’s body to qualify.
Usage: Lower values detect more candles but increase noise.
📊 How It Works Algorithm Steps: Volume Analysis:
Calculates the 233-period SMA (Simple Moving Average) of volume.
Flags a candle as "high volume" if current volume > SMA(233) * threshold.
Wick Analysis:
Measures the upper wick (high - max(open, close)) and lower wick (min(open, close) - low).
Compares the larger wick to the candle’s body (abs(open - close)).
Triggers a signal if either wick exceeds body size * wick_ratio.
Signal Confirmation:
A liquidation bar is confirmed only if BOTH high volume and long wick conditions are met.
🧠 Interpretation & Trading Logic Red Bars: Indicate liquidation zones where aggressive buying/selling occurred, often trapping retail traders.
Contextual Use:
Trend Reversals: Liquidation bars near support/resistance may signal exhaustion.
Stop Hunts: Common in ranging markets where liquidity is clustered around key levels.
Breakout/False Breakouts: High-volume wicks can mark failed breakouts or accumulation/distribution.
🛠️ Use Cases Day Trading:
Combine with price action (e.g., engulfing patterns) to scalp reversals.
Swing Trading:
Identify liquidation zones as potential entry points for counter-trend trades.
Risk Management:
Place stop-losses beyond the wick extremes to avoid being stopped out prematurely.
⚠️ Critical Warnings Not a Standalone Strategy: Always confirm with additional indicators (e.g., RSI, MACD, or market structure).
False Signals: High volatility or news events may trigger unreliable signals.
Backtest: Test historical performance on multiple assets and timeframes.
