Abstract

{ "name": "accumulation_sweep_liquidity_grab", "source": "ICT (Inner Circle Trader) / Smart Money Concepts", "type": "entry_engine", "rule": "Buy if price sweeps below the previous day's low by at least 0.1 ATR(14) and closes back above that low on the same bar or the next bar, with the current bar's close above the 20-period EMA.", "pseudocode": "prevLow = low[1]; atr = ATR(14); ema20 = EMA(20); if low < prevLow - 0.1*atr and close > prevLow and close > ema20: return BUY; else: return NEUTRAL;", "why_it_works": "Liquidity grabs sweep stop-losses below prior swing lows, trapping sellers before reversing as smart money accumulates into the exhaustion." } Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
