MT5 / MT4 indicator · V2Sweep Protocol — Liquidity Sweep Indicator
Sweep Protocol draws the complete liquidity map — previous-day and previous-week highs and lows, the 50% level, the midnight open, the session ranges — and flags the liquidity sweeps that matter, confirmed on the close. Built on the mechanism our Liquidity Sweep guide explains.

What most SMC traders run into
The concepts are not the hard part. Applying them consistently, on time, without second-guessing every level is.
The problem
- You draw the same levels by hand every morning — and still miss the session that mattered.
- A clean breakout traps you, then reverses the moment your stop is hit.
- Every level looks like a trade, so the chart fills with lines and no plan.
- The setup completed on a bar close you were not watching.
How Sweep Protocol helps
- The map, drawn for you. Previous-day and previous-week highs and lows, the 50% level of the previous day, the midnight open and the highs and lows of the last Asia, London and New York sessions — each line named where it starts.
- Built around the sweep. A setup starts from a liquidity sweep — the stop run our guide takes apart step by step. The concepts are public; the precise rules the indicator applies are not published.
- Armed, not triggered. A dotted line, labelled Buy armed or Sell armed, marks the setup while it forms — no arrow yet.
- Confirmation on your chart. The arrow prints on your own chart, on a closed bar, with the level and the pattern involved written next to it.
- The level on the arrow. Each arrow carries the name of the level involved, so you read the setup at a glance.
A sweep and a real breakout look identical while price is through the level — our Liquidity Sweep guide explains the close-based test that tells them apart. That is why every step here is evaluated on closed bars.

How it works, in three steps
Install from the MQL5 Market
Buy, or start with the free demo — it appears in the Market tab of MetaTrader’s Navigator.
Drop it on any chart
The liquidity map draws itself. Pick your sessions, the levels you trade and the confirmation patterns, once.
Watch for the dotted line
An armed setup shows first; the arrow prints on the close of the bar that confirms it.
Who it is for — and who it is not
A good fit if…
- Prop-firm and funded-account traders running the Smart Money Concepts playbook
- Traders who want the liquidity map drawn for them, every session
- Traders who want a sweep confirmed on their own chart before acting
Not for you if…
- Anyone looking for an EA — it never places orders
- Traders expecting guaranteed results or a guaranteed passed evaluation
- Pure fundamental or news-only traders
Looking for one idea on its own? The Notorious OB is the focused order-block and liquidity-sweep model, and The Golden Sweep the XAUUSD specialist.

Questions traders actually ask
What is the signal?
An arrow on a closed bar, printed once your chart confirms a setup built on a liquidity sweep, with the level and the pattern involved written next to it. Before it, a dotted line marks the setup as it forms — Buy armed or Sell armed. The concepts behind it are explained in full in our guides; the precise rules the indicator applies are not published.
Which levels does it draw?
Previous-day and previous-week highs and lows, the 50% level of the previous day, the midnight open and the highs and lows of the last Asia, London and New York sessions — each line named where it starts.
What changed in version 2?
Version 2 adds armed setups, confirmation patterns on your chart, the level and pattern written next to each arrow, a clean-chart mode and a prop-desk panel read from your account, and keeps the complete liquidity map. The monthly levels and the AMD filter of version 1 were retired.
Why are the exact rules not published?
Because the concepts are what you need to judge a setup, and those are public: our Learn guides explain them in full. The precise rules are the product itself — the free demo on the MQL5 Market lets you watch them work in the strategy tester, on your own symbols, before you buy.
Does it repaint?
No. Every step is evaluated on closed bars only, and an arrow stays where it printed — what you see on history is what printed live. HTF structure is read on its own timeframe, independent of the chart you are viewing.
Does it trade for me?
No. It is an indicator, not an expert advisor. It draws zones, levels and a virtual trade plan and sends alerts, but it never places, modifies or closes an order. Every execution decision stays yours.
Where are the stop and the targets?
The virtual plan draws an entry, a stop — from the setup or at a fixed distance in pips — a break-even level, and partial and final targets in R multiples. They are planning lines, not orders — and a stop you place with your broker is an instruction that fills at the next available price, not a guarantee.
How is this different from The Notorious OB?
The Notorious OB is the focused tool: liquidity-sweep setups around order blocks and fair value gaps. Sweep Protocol adds the complete liquidity map — daily, weekly, 50%, midnight-open and session levels — and names the level on every arrow.
Can I use it for a prop-firm evaluation?
It is decision support only. The panel tracks the target and drawdown limits you enter and alerts you as you approach them; it cannot enforce your firm’s rules or guarantee a result. Check your firm’s terms on indicators, news trading and how it calculates drawdown.
Is there a MetaTrader 4 version?
Yes. MetaTrader 4 has its own listing on the MQL5 Market, with the same detection and visuals. Use the button that matches your platform.
How do I install it?
Buy or download the demo from the MQL5 Market, open MetaTrader, and the product appears in the Market tab of the Navigator. Drag it onto any chart — no external file to copy, no DLL.
Are updates included?
Yes. The purchase is one-time and updates published on the MQL5 Market are free for owners, for the life of the product.
Can I try it before buying?
Yes. Every MQL5 Market listing includes a free demo that runs in the strategy tester, so you can watch the logic on your own symbols before spending anything.
