HTF Liquidity Pools

Valhalla SMC tracks session highs and lows from two configurable higher-timeframe candles as liquidity pools, the levels where retail stops cluster and institutions target for sweeps.

How Levels Are Collected

When a new HTF candle closes, the previous session's high and low are pushed into an active pool. Two timeframes can be configured (defaults: 4H and Daily), providing liquidity levels from multiple structural scales. Duplicate levels within 10% of ATR are automatically deduplicated, and the pool caps at 10 active levels per side.

Purging

A liquidity level is "purged" (removed from the active pool) when price trades through it, the wick or close exceeds the level. This mirrors the institutional concept of liquidity sweeps: once the stops at a level have been taken, that level is no longer an active magnet.

Role in Smart Targets

The nearest unpurged liquidity level in the trade direction becomes TP3 in Smart mode.

For a long trade, the indicator finds the closest active session high above entry; for a short, the closest active session low below entry. This gives TP3 a fundamentally different character than TP1 and TP2, it represents where institutional order flow is likely to target, rather than where structure has formed.
