Liquidity sweep wick (LIQUIDITY-WICK)

How the setup is identified

Trades the rejection wick left behind when price sweeps a liquidity pool beyond an obvious high or low and immediately reverses back inside.

Status and evidence

Trades the rejection wick left behind when a move sweeps liquidity and immediately reverses. Low frequency by nature — it waits for a specific structure rather than manufacturing setups.

What we learned

The identifying signature is speed plus rejection: a genuine break tends to consolidate beyond the level, while a sweep spikes through, leaves a long wick and closes back inside. The wick is the visible trace of stops being filled and absorbed.

It is deliberately low frequency. The strategy waits for a specific structure rather than manufacturing a setup, which means long quiet periods — and that quietness is regularly mistaken for the bot being broken. See EA not taking trades.
