Buy side or sell side liquidity sweep

[acom]

Looking for custom tos indicator which can alert with chart highlight upon buyside or sellside liquidity sweep on 2 min chart. Consideration should be taken for break of wick in prior 1 hour price action. This will be used for ES chart primarily. Can someone help in making this custom indicator?

in future postings, please come up with a simpler, more descriptive titles and descriptions.
liquidity sweep ?? that has no meaning.
all you needed to say was in your 2nd sentence, look for price crossing some level.

more to come...............

i started out using normal 2nd aggregation price data for this, but i abandoned it.
in the code i had, when checking for,
2min chart candles crossing price levels from a 2nd agg time period of 1 hour,
only the first 2min bar in the period was triggering. the other bars were ignored.

---------------------------

i used secondsfromTime() to determine how many chart minutes have elapsed. then divided that by a number, to determine the periods.
i kept the 2nd agg input, but i didn't use it to read a price. it is used just for choosing the quantity of minutes in 2nd time period. i like it better than entering in a number. it limits the choices so oddball numbers can't be entered.

if the chart time divides evenly into the 2nd agg time, this should work.
(agg time of hour / 2 min chart min ) = integer


default use,
it draws arrows when,
.. high crosses above a previous hours highest price
.. or low crosses below a previous hours lowest price.
an alert will sound when a crossing happens


options,
. show previous time period lines
. show current time period lines
. labels that show period and bar stats

If you're looking for a rolling 1h period, putting donchian channels on (in TOS, it's called price channels) 30 period on 2m chart will show you highs and lows of the last hour. It would be easy to visualize a move above or below the line.

Thanks @halcyonguy. I will take a look.
