Liquidation Levels

Liquidation Levels

Suites: Suite A - Liquidation Specialist

🔗 Open on TradingView

The Liquidation Levels indicator maps estimated liquidation price zones for leveraged positions across five tiers (10x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 200x). By analyzing volume spikes, open interest changes, and cumulative volume delta, it identifies bars where significant positioning activity occurred and projects corresponding liquidation prices above and below the market.

Unlike simple fixed-percentage bands, this tool uses statistical thresholds (standard deviations above a rolling mean) to detect meaningful activity. The result is a dynamic map of unclaimed liquidity that updates as levels are "filled" by price action.


USAGE

Reading Liquidation Levels

Horizontal lines are drawn at estimated liquidation prices whenever volume, open interest (OI), or CVD exceeds configurable thresholds.

  • Lines Above Price: Short liquidation zones (buy-back pressure).
  • Lines Below Price: Long liquidation zones (sell-side pressure).
  • Colors: Brighter colors indicate higher leverage tiers (closer to price and more frequently swept).
  • When price reaches a level, it is marked as "filled." Unfilled levels remain on the chart as potential magnets for future price movement.

    Notion Data

    Liquidity Profile

    A volume-profile-style histogram is rendered to the right of the price, showing the distribution of all unclaimed liquidation levels.

  • MAX LIQ: Highlights the single price row with the highest weighted liquidity.
  • Modes: Choose between Count (raw number of levels) or Weighted (factors in volume, leverage, and merge frequency).
  • Liquidity Pools

    Clusters of high-density liquidity rows are automatically grouped into pool boxes. Each pool highlights a contiguous zone of significant unclaimed liquidity. The peak row within each pool is emphasized to identify the "core" of the zone.

    Notion Data

    Range Lines and Moving Averages

    High/Low range lines track the outermost unfilled levels for each leverage tier. You can also enable Fibonacci-based moving averages (Upper, Mid, Lower) derived from the highest enabled leverage range to provide trend-following context.

    Liquidity Signals

    When enabled, the indicator generates:

  • LONG Signals: When price touches the 200x low range (potential long sweep).
  • SHORT Signals: When price touches the 200x high range (potential short sweep).

  • DETAILS

    Detection Method

    The indicator monitors three sources for statistical anomalies: Volume, OI Delta, and CVD. Each is compared against its rolling mean and standard deviation over a 150-bar lookback. Levels are projected when activity exceeds the mean by:

  • Small: 1.5x StdDev
  • Medium: 2.5x StdDev
  • Large: 3.5x StdDev
  • Level Consolidation

    To reduce clutter, nearby levels within the same tier are merged if they fall within the Merge Threshold (default 0.05%). Merged levels display a volume-weighted average price (VWAP) and thicker lines to indicate higher density.

    METHODOLOGY

    The source code is protected due to the proprietary implementation of:

  • Adaptive statistical detection thresholds calibrated across three distinct data sources.
  • Proximity-weighted merging algorithms that consolidate liquidity without losing density information.
  • Multi-dimensional liquidity profiling that factors in leverage multipliers and volume tiers.
  • Density-based pool clustering with configurable gap tolerance.

  • Disclaimer: This indicator estimates liquidation zones based on statistical analysis. Actual liquidation prices depend on exchange-specific parameters and individual account maintenance margins. This is not financial advice; past performance does not guarantee future results.
