CandelaCharts - HTF Sweeps

📝 Overview

This indicator lets you overlay a higher timeframe (HTF) onto your current chart, giving you a clearer view of broader market movements without switching timeframes.



This indicator also detects liquidity sweeps and plots them on both the higher timeframe (HTF) and the current lower timeframe (LTF), helping traders clearly spot potential reversal points. It adds LTF dividers for better structure clarity, making it easier to align with HTF shifts and refine entry timing with greater precision.

🚨 Alerts

This indicator includes built-in alert functionality to keep you informed of key market events in real time. It supports the following customizable alerts on TradingView:

• Sweep Detection: Notifies you when a price sweep is detected—either a liquidity sweep above recent highs or below recent lows. This can be a strong signal of potential reversals or liquidity grabs by larger market participants.
  
• Sweep Invalidation: Alerts you when a previously detected sweep becomes invalidated due to price action moving beyond a defined threshold. This helps traders stay adaptive and avoid acting on outdated signals.
  

These alerts are fully integrated with TradingView’s native alert system, so you can receive notifications via app, email, or pop-up—ensuring you're always up to date, even when you're away from the chart.
