Liquidity Points with Stop Hunts (Optimized)

The Liquidity Points with Stop Hunts (Optimized) indicator is designed to identify "trapped" volume and structural turning points specifically in high-volatility environments like Gold (GC).

In order flow terms, a Stop Hunt (or Liquidity Grab) occurs when the price briefly pierces a significant level—like a previous high or low—to trigger stop-loss orders, only to reverse sharply once that liquidity is "harvested" by institutional "Whales."

Here is how to describe the "Optimized" version of this tool in ATAS for your strategy:

1. The Core Objective
This indicator filters out minor price fluctuations to focus only on Institutional Sweeps. Instead of marking every wick, it uses "Optimized" logic (likely based on ATR or Volume Thresholds) to highlight areas where significant retail stop-loss clusters were triggered and absorbed.

2. Key Features of the "Optimized" Version
Smart Filtering: It distinguishes between a "Breakout" (continuation) and a "Stop Hunt" (reversal) by analyzing the Delta and Volume at the moment the level is breached.

Wick vs. Body Logic: It prioritizes candles with long wicks (at least 2x the body size) that occur at major session highs/lows.

Volume Confirmation: It only marks a "Stop Hunt" if there is a surge in volume at the extreme, signaling that the Whale used the retail stops as fuel to enter their own opposite position.
