Venom Model — Deferred Turtle Soup Entry Concept Identifier

Description:

The Venom Model is a closed‑source indicator that identifies a specific advanced liquidity‑sweep signature taught by the ICT framework (often referenced as a “Deferred Turtle Soup”). It highlights the exact candle or candles that penetrate a liquidity pool (above or below a defined zone) then confirms when price closes back outside that pool. This visual marker allows traders to spot the precise algorithmic “poison fang” moment without relying on raw signals.
This indicator does not issue automatic entry alerts or trade triggers. It is strictly a visual tool for confluence and study, meant to be used in conjunction with your own structure, execution and risk‑management framework.

How It Works (Conceptually)
Liquidity Pool Definition
The script identifies zones where liquidity is pooled—often at relative equal highs/lows or around established session structure. These zones act as the target for algorithmic sweeps.

Sweep Candle Highlighting
When a candle (or consecutive candles) penetrate into or through the defined liquidity pool, those candle(s) are marked as the “sweep”. The indicator uses precise tracking of the candle(s) that first break the zone.

Confirmation via Close Outside Zone
After the sweep candle(s), the script watches for price to close back outside the liquidity pool boundary. Once that happens, a confirmed Venom event is marked visually. This indicates the liquidity‑raid and ensuing directional bias shift.

Visual Representation
The exact candle(s) of the sweep are highlighted (e.g., coloured bar or marker).
The liquidity pool boundaries are drawn for context.
A persistent marker or box remains until the user‑defined expiration or invalidation, which helps track the event across the chart.

Unique Implementation Features

The Venom Model differs from many generic liquidity or sweep indicators by virtue of:

Exact Candle Focus
Rather than highlighting broad zones, this tool pinpoints the specific candle(s) that executed the sweep—giving traders a sharp visual of the “fang” moment.

Deferred Turtle Soup Logic
It implements the ICT‑style “Turtle Soup” liquidity reversal logic (a false breakout, stop‐hunt, then return), but via deferred confirmation: first the sweep candle(s), then the close back outside. This layered confirmation adds structural algorithmic precision.

Higher‑Timeframe & Session Context
While you may select your working timeframe, the logic accounts for session structure (e.g., early NY open) and higher timeframe liquidity zones to align sweep recognition with institutional flow rather than purely local price moves.

Adaptive Visual Persistence
Once identified, the sweep marker stays in view until you choose to clear or until a set number of bars/candles later, which you can define in the settings. This avoids clutter and preserves the event for reference, not as a trigger.


How to Use It

• Apply the indicator to view your preferred chart and timeframe; use it as a contextual overlay, not a standalone trade system.
  
• When you see a highlighted candle(s), interpret this as a liquidity raid event: price targeted the pool, triggered retail stops, and reversed.
  
• Use this marker alongside your own structure: e.g., order blocks, fair value gaps, market structure shifts, session bias.
  
• Use the user settings to define box expiry or number of candles to display the event marker, according to your analysis depth.
  

Originality and Purpose
This indicator is original and justifies closed‑source publication because:

• It focuses solely on the specific candle(s) that executed the sweep rather than drawing every penetration or “possible” sweep zone.
  
• It uses deferred confirmation (penetration then close back outside) which adds robustness over naive sweep detectors.
  
• It aligns to ICT’s advanced Deferred Turtle Soup signature, not just generic stop‑hunt or breakout models.
  
• It offers visual clarity and persistence tailored for confluence, avoiding base‑level indicator clutter or ambiguous signals.
  

Because of these factors, the logic, confirmation criteria and precise rendering go beyond simple replication of open‑source liquidity sweep tools.

Important Notes

• For visual analysis and educational use only.
  
• Does not generate alerts, buy/sell signals, or automatic entries.
  
• Most effective when used by traders familiar with ICT liquidity, order‑flow and market structure concepts.
  
• Always apply your own risk management, trade validation and execution rules.
