A raid/sweep occurs when price takes out a previous high/low i.e., price sweeps a level, grabs liquidity and reverses. When this occurs in higher time frames (HTF) like 1h, 4h, daily, etc., there's a greater chance for minor/major reversal/pullback in lower time frames (LTF). For clarification, this is not my concept - ICT students and price action traders call it "liquidity grab", some call it "stop hunt", some call it "evil market maker", etc. There are some indicators which plot this already, but none of them have what I need (multi-timeframe support and filtering swing points).
Typically, we look for raids in HTF, which is set to the timeframe parameter of the indicator. Then, we go into LTF for execution, and we'll see HTF raids plotted there (which greatly eases backtesting and execution). We can also check "filter swing points" to only show raids of swing points (3-candle pattern).
The above chart shows this indicator in action (1m chart showing raids from 15m with swing point filter enabled).
This indicator also supports setting alerts for raids.

Major update
Adds support for raids into significant levels (Monday range, previous daily range, previous weekly range)
Can display significant levels currently being monitored
Also has the option to exclude normal raids (if you're only interested in level raids) or disable level raids (so that you can go back to the first version of the indicator)
Alerts for raids into significant levels
NOTE: The timeframe defined will be used for all kinds of raids.
Could be buggy, but will fix bugs as I find :)

Major update: Session raids
Support for raids on previous session highs and lows (Asia, London, NY, Sydney - all configurable in NY local time)
Shows session ranges as boxes (with names), but can also be disabled if you have other indicators to do it

Also adds monthly highs and lows to the list of supported significant levels

Choch support
Added support for detecting choch based on pivots (in any higher timeframe relative to the current chart). You'll need to experiment with pivot lengths though.
Chochs can be filtered to the first one occurring immediately after a raid.
Alerts can be configured to trigger on either raids, or after first choch following raid, or both.

- Got rid of pivot-based lookup for chochs. Instead going for swing highs/lows and market structure shifts. This is what works for me and what I find useful (not planning to go back to pivots again). - Also fixed lookback errors for higher values. We can now go for up to 5000 candles and sometimes more (which will take time, but raids will show up). - Choch detection is activated whenever a swing point of interest is taken out (which includes candle closes as well, for which raids are not marked, however filters are taken into account for such swing points) and only chochs following raids are displayed (it complicates the code for me otherwise).

Thank you for this indicator.... Could put some option to allow Multi Time Frame??? As like h4 and h1 im the same indicator...
I have one doubt, what type of candle (3 or 5) do you recommend for high time frame (more than 1h) and low time frame (15 minutes)??

@igorSMConcept, Some other person has also asked for multi TF, I will work on it after I implement "raid into FVG" feature. As for 3-bar vs 5-bar, it's entirely up to you. Price is fractal, so it doesn't matter what TF you use. 3-bar will give more signals than 5-bar for the start. Guess you'll have to backtest/experiment and see what works and what doesn't.

Must Be A Good Mans for Letting Us Use This Free. Set the Mater Strat as Default and Everything for US.
Even Your Candle Colors are the Best Ive Seen Ever!!! Who Are You!!! lol
Q - another indicator lets you see "live liquidity" so the line shows up before the raid. Would be nice so we know when to be ready...
Thank You !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@DM3point3, Thanks! I'm glad you find it useful. Also, if I understand the question of "live liquidity" correctly, do you mean the HTF swing points to be marked in LTF before the actual raids happen? I did think of this, but I can't possibly come up with a solution that would be clean in the charts. There will be a spaghetti of lines and it kinda fucks up with bias, which is why I avoided it.

@a1tmaniac, I agree and With the Alerts live liquidity isnt needed. Also the new choch Is printing lines on other time frames. Its set to 1 min but showing historical lines on 15,30,60,240 min times. The old one would only show Choch on the time frame selected. Bug or a feature? They are not the 1 min chochs either so I dont see were there coming from.
Also I feel bad for asking, But could you make a separate indicator and call it "Old Choch" or whatever. It did magical things and back testing against the new is like 50/50. There both amazing.
Either way thanks again

@DM3point3, I can get rid of lines printing on higher TFs (it's a bug for sure). If choch is set to 1-min, then it should show in 1-min, but only if a raid has occurred OR a high/low has been taken out. As for the old choch, because having a separate indicator would mean future updates have to be migrated and published on both, which would be painful. I'll definitely consider having it in the same indicator (like an option or something). I'm curious though - when I used pivot-based choch selection, it would be error-prone half the time, because it would point to internal structure shifts and sometimes the pivot length has to be adjusted to properly find the choch, which is why I switched in the first place. Could you show me a couple of examples to point the difference if you can?

Dude, i use your indicator to trade using Trading Hub strategy. In this kind of smc strategy, we dont use structure in Inside Bar... your indicator is the nearest indicator that ive found to help me, but sometimes it shows structure in inside bar.. i have the script that Trading Hub use to find inside bar... is it possible to include a part where the structure ignores the inside bar and continues with the previous structure?... it would be as it is now, but ignoring the inside bar candles

What an indicator!! The best of the best bro. I appreciate it your effort! Works so good for liq sessions h/l and key levels. Also the display at ltf and the alarm for the choch. Amazing! Thank your for this stuff.
