# Mirage Liquidity Sweep Pro Mirage Liquidity Sweep Pro, by Himbit-AlgoTrade, finds liquidity sweeps (stop hunts), scores each one from 0 to 100, can wait for a change of character (CHoCH) to confirm it, and then draws a full trade plan on the chart: entry, a stop beyond the sweep wick, three take-profits, break-even after TP1 and the nearest opposite liquidity as the target. ## Turn it on Open **Indicators** › **Price action** › **Mirage Liquidity Sweep Pro**. It is off until you add it. The gear on its legend row opens the settings, in four tabs: **Signals**, **Risk**, **Liquidity** and **Style**. While Mirage is on, the chart loads older history in the background, about 4,000 bars, so the swings and the statistics have more to work with. ## The idea Price often turns where resting orders sit. A swing high above the market holds buy-side liquidity (BSL); a swing low below it holds sell-side liquidity (SSL). When a wick spikes through one of those levels and the candle closes back inside, the move took those orders and was rejected. That is a sweep. A close beyond the level, or exactly on it, is a break instead: the level is used up and gives no signal. ## How it works 1. **Swings.** Confirmed swing highs and lows (**Swing length** 21) are kept as resting liquidity. Swings that are almost level with each other (within 0.15 × ATR) are joined as equal highs and lows (EQH / EQL). 2. **Sweep.** Only levels younger than **Max sweep distance** (80 bars) can give a signal. A bar that sweeps a high and a low at once is skipped. 3. **Score.** Each sweep gets a score from 0 to 100: wick depth 30%, how far price closed back past the level 25%, where the candle closed 20%, volume 15% (neutral on markets without volume) and the higher-timeframe EMA trend 10%. A sweep needs at least **Min sweep score** (50). 4. **Confirmation.** With **Require CHoCH confirmation** on (the default), the sweep waits up to 13 bars for a close through the last minor pivot. If price goes beyond the sweep wick first, the setup is cancelled. With it off, the signal comes on the sweep bar itself. 5. **Trade plan.** Entry is the close of the signal bar. The stop sits beyond the sweep wick by ATR × the buffer, and at least ATR × 0.5 from entry. TP1, TP2 and TP3 are multiples of the risk (R). 6. **Management.** One trade at a time. When TP1 is touched, the stop moves to entry (break-even). The trade ends at the stop, at the break-even stop or at TP3. Mirage only uses closed bars, so nothing repaints. ## Reading the chart - **Long ▲** / **Short ▼**: a signal; a trade opens here. - **×**: a raw sweep, where liquidity was taken. It shows even when no trade opens. - A dashed line marks the swept swing level, and a thick tick shows how far the wick went through it. - **ENTRY**, **SL** and **TP1**–**TP3** lines, with labels and the distance from entry in %. A target that was touched turns solid teal with ✓. After TP1 the SL line dims and the entry label reads "→ SL (BE)". - The gold dashed **Liquidity Target** line: the nearest untouched liquidity on the other side. - Dotted **BSL** / **SSL** lines: liquidity that hasn't been swept yet. **EQH** / **EQL** connect near-equal highs and lows. A level disappears once it is taken, and the lines reach at most 15 bars past the current bar. Hover a marker or a line for details, such as the sweep's score or a target's R. ## The dashboard The dashboard starts folded to one line in the top-right corner of the chart, **◆ Mirage · Bullish** or **Bearish**. Click it to open: - **Market**: **Trend**, **HTF bias**, **Signal** (LONG or SHORT in a trade, **Wait** when flat), **Last sweep** with its score, and **Timeframe**. - **Trade**: **SL**, **TP1**–**TP3** (✓ once touched, **BE @** once the stop has moved to entry), **R:R (TP1)** and **SL dist %**. - **Stats**: **Trades**, **W / L**, **Win rate** with a gauge, and **Form**, the last 10 results with the newest on the right. The stats are simulated on the bars loaded in the chart, with no fees or slippage. A trade counts as a win as soon as TP1 is touched, so a trade that comes back to break-even after TP1 is still a win. Read the win rate with that in mind. ## Settings - **Signals**: **Swing length**, **Max sweep distance**, **Min sweep score**; **Require CHoCH confirmation**, **Structure pivot length** (8), **Confirmation window** (13 bars), **Cancel setup if the sweep wick is retaken**; **Volume factor**, **Volume MA length**, **Volume spike (× MA)**, **HTF bias factor**, **HTF timeframe** (4h) and **HTF EMA length** (50). - **Risk**: **Risk preset** sets the SL buffer (× ATR) and TP1 / TP2 / TP3 (in R): Conservative 0.5 / 1 / 2 / 4, Balanced 0.25 / 1 / 2 / 3 (the default), Aggressive 0.15 / 1.5 / 2.5 / 4, Scalping 0.1 / 0.8 / 1.5 / 2, or Custom with your own values (TP1 < TP2 < TP3). Also **ATR length**, **Break-even after TP1**, and how the trade lines and labels look. - **Liquidity**: resting liquidity, **Levels per side** (6), **Line extension** (10 bars, at most 15), equal highs and lows with their tolerance, and the liquidity target. - **Style**: the theme (**Auto** follows the app), which marks to draw, the colours, and the dashboard: position, font size and its three sections. Too few signals? Lower **Min sweep score** to 40–45, shorten **Swing length**, or turn the CHoCH confirmation off. Too many weak ones? Raise **Min sweep score** to 60 or more and keep the confirmation on. ## Alerts Right-click the chart, pick **Add alert on Mirage Liquidity Sweep Pro**, then the signal: **Long entry**, **Short entry**, **Stop loss hit**, **Break-even stop-out**, **Break-even activated**, **TP1 hit**, **TP2 hit** or **TP3 hit**. They fire when the bar closes. The rest of the flow is on the [Alerts](#alerts) page. Mirage is an analysis tool, not financial advice, and it doesn't place orders.
