Introduction
Every trading day, price runs through the same ritual: it reaches above an obvious high or below an obvious low, triggers the stops resting there, and then reverses with force. Retail traders call it a stop hunt. Institutions call it filling size. We call it a liquidity sweep — and it is one of the most repeatable events in modern markets.
The problem has never been whether sweeps happen. It is that spotting them in real time requires watching four things at once: where the liquidity sits, when the session makes a sweep probable, whether displacement confirms the reversal, and whether the higher-timeframe context agrees. Miss one ingredient and you are entering a breakout that was never real — or fading a move that was.
SWEEP PROTOCOL packages that entire workflow into a single MT5 indicator. It maps the institutional levels, watches them tick by tick, and only speaks when a sweep is confirmed. No repainting, no lag, no interpretation debt at 2 a.m. during a New York session.
Key Features
Four sweep engines in one tool
- Previous-day high/low sweeps — the classic institutional raid on yesterday's extremes.
- Previous-day equilibrium sweeps — reactions at the 50% level of yesterday's range.
- Midnight Open sweeps — deviations around the true daily open used by ICT traders, DST-aware and detected automatically on any broker.
- Session sweeps — raids on Asia, London and New York session ranges, with strict next-session delivery.
Order-block armed signals
A sweep alone is not a trade. SWEEP PROTOCOL only fires when price has first interacted with a valid order block on your chosen signal and bias timeframes, then confirms the reversal with a displacement gap. Two independent layers — signal and higher-timeframe bias — can be combined in three arming modes, from permissive to strict.
Non-repainting, by construction
Signals are evaluated on closed bars only. A historical replay of the chart shows exactly the arrows you would have received live — the same logic, the same code path. What you backtest is what you get.
Virtual RR trade engine
Every signal is tracked as a virtual position: entry, stop, take-profit in risk multiples, partial take-profit and break-even — drawn on the chart and settled bar by bar. You see the realized R of every historical signal directly on your chart.
Prop-firm statistics dashboard
Winrate, cumulative R by day, week and horizon, exit breakdown (TP / SL / BE / partial), best and worst trades, current streak — plus a real-account daily-loss monitor that warns you before the number that ends challenges.
Engineered for speed
Time-budgeted cache refreshers, incremental calculation and throttled detection keep the indicator fluid even on M1 during high-impact news — where most SMC tools freeze precisely when you need them.

How It Works
Directional filters keep you out of low-quality context: bull-only/bear-only modes, previous-day-low slope, Midnight Open versus equilibrium, and session sweep-reversal locks. Per-day session windows let you trade Monday differently from Friday — or not at all.
