How BAZ Sniper reads liquidity sweeps on gold

BAZ Sniper is an invite-only TradingView indicator built for gold (XAUUSD) on the M1 to M15 timeframes. It looks for liquidity sweeps — moments when price runs through the stops above a high or below a low and then closes back inside — and draws a complete trade plan for each signal: entry, stop loss, six take-profit levels and a position size for your account.

What a liquidity sweep is

Many traders place stop-loss orders just beyond obvious swing highs and swing lows. Those clusters of orders are often called liquidity. When price pushes through such a level, it triggers those stops; if buyers or sellers then step in and price closes back on the other side of the level, the move is a sweep (also called a stop run). A sweep does not guarantee a reversal: it is a condition the indicator filters further before it shows a signal.

How BAZ Sniper decides

1. Liquidity map. Nearby swing highs and lows are grouped into liquidity pools.
2. Sweep detection. A signal needs a wick through a pool and a candle close back inside it.
3. Quality filters. The sweep must agree with the main trend, and be either a strong stop run or occur in low volatility.
4. Pullback engine. Separately, it looks for completed A-B-C corrections against the higher-timeframe trend.
5. Risk plan. The stop goes beyond the swept extreme, scaled to volatility; targets are set as R or ATR multiples.
6. Position size. Lots per signal are calculated from your balance and risk per trade, with risk and targets also shown in money.

What you see on the chart

• BUY or SELL marked at the close of the signal candle.
• Entry, stop and TP1–TP6 lines; targets turn green as they are hit.
• The stop line changes colour when it is moved to break-even or trailed.
• Two management modes: break-even at TP2 plus a trail, or a fixed stop.

Alerts and automation

BAZ Sniper can alert on BUY, SELL, each target, stop exits and stop moves. Every alert can send a JSON webhook with the trade ID, side, entry, stop, targets, lots and risk. The BAZ Bridge Connector receives those webhooks and places the trades on your MetaTrader 5 account; the setup guide explains each step.

When it works best, and its limits

• Built for M1 to M15. Best used in the market's most liquid hours, away from high-impact news and the daily rollover, when spreads widen.
• It is an analysis tool. Signals can and do lose: a stop being hit is part of normal use, not a fault.
• We do not publish a win rate or a return, and no indicator guarantees results. See the trading risk warning.

How access works

BAZ Sniper is published on TradingView as an invite-only script, so it runs only on TradingView accounts we have granted. You enter your TradingView username at checkout, and access is granted within 24 hours after successful payment verification; your dashboard shows when it is done. Plans are for a fixed period with no automatic renewal, and renewing adds the new period to your current end date. You can read the public description on BAZ Sniper's TradingView page.
