What is LuxAlgo - Liquidity Swings?
LuxAlgo - Liquidity Swings analyzes highs and lows over a configured history and marks swing-high and swing-low liquidity areas. Upper areas are drawn in red and lower ones in teal, each carrying a label with the calculated strength of that area.
A line and its fill are separate parts of the display. The plotted zones are reference areas rather than signals, so their appearance can be compared with surrounding price behavior rather than treated as a certainty.
How to use LuxAlgo - Liquidity Swings
Review the red swing-high areas and teal swing-low areas with the corresponding lines, fills, and strength labels. Compare the marked areas with the surrounding highs and lows instead of reading a single line in isolation.
Candles to calculate sets the history examined, Pivot Lookback changes swing detection, and Swing Area selects the swing-area method. Intrabar Precision TF, Filter Areas By, and Value refine the calculation, while the Swing High and Swing Low controls change the visible lines, fills, colors, and label size.
Where it helps
Upper and lower swing areas have independent visibility and color controls.
Labels Font Size controls the text used for the displayed area values.
History, pivot, intrabar, and filter inputs affect the marked areas.
