What You Will Learn

Start with these essentials

  • Sweeps are events, not auto-entries.
  • Reclaim quality matters more than wick size.
  • Stops should be structural, not arbitrary.

Who This Is For

  • Traders using TradingView who want confluence and structure, not single-signal guessing.
  • Indicator users who need a repeatable setup checklist they can journal.
  • Futures traders learning to connect market conditions, price levels, and entry rules.

Before You Use This Guide

  • Indicators do not remove the need to manage risk.
  • Signals still need to be checked against price levels and market conditions.

The Problem This Guide Helps You Solve

A move beyond a prior high or low may be a breakout rather than a reversal. Check what price does after the signal instead of entering on the wick alone.

Sweep Confirmation Workflow

Work through these checks in order. The examples explain a process; they are not instructions to place a trade.

1. Level Qualification

Only treat sweeps as tradable near clear liquidity pools.

2. Reclaim Evidence

Require reclaim and acceptance behavior after the sweep.

3. Controlled Entry

Define invalidation beyond sweep extremes with fixed risk size.

Sweep Scenarios

Failed High Sweep

A high sweep rejects and confirms downside rotation potential.

Reclaimed Low Sweep

A downside sweep is reclaimed and supports reversal into value.

Common Execution Mistakes To Avoid

  • Entering before reclaim confirmation.
  • Ignoring volatility shifts around news windows.
  • Using fixed stops without structural context.
