WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT
CHoCH 2.3×ATR ×2.6v NYAM ⚠FADE — a Change of Character break. 2.3×ATR is the displacement grade (this break's range ÷ 200-bar ATR). ×2.6v is the break's Relative Volume vs its 20-bar average. NYAM means the break fired inside the New York AM killzone. ⚠FADE flags a minor-scale signal running counter to the HTF bias badge — the most common SMC false-signal pattern, pre-flagged rather than hidden.

IDM ✓ taken — the range's bait level has been wicked through. This is the entry-permission event: before it fires, any entry sits on the bait side of the range, not the real one.

EXT BSL / EXT SSL — the range's outer boundaries. External buy-side and sell-side liquidity, named for what they are rather than dressed up.

What it does

Oyamori Liquidity Structure runs one honest chain — structure → liquidity → zones → signal — instead of stacking indicators that each answer a different question. Every layer feeds the next, and the last layer is scored on the chart, so you can see whether it has actually worked on your symbol and timeframe.

1. Structure

Two pivot scales: major (default 50-bar) and minor (default 5-bar). A pivot is accepted only when its extreme beats the lookback on both sides, and the accepted sequence must alternate — a second high with no intervening low doesn't open a new swing, it refines the standing one if it's higher (mirrored for lows). That keeps the skeleton clean: every level the script quotes was a real two-sided extreme, not a mid-leg artifact.

Breaks are close-through events that fire once per level, labelled BOS (with the trend) or CHoCH (against it), each stamped with a displacement grade (break-bar range ÷ ATR(200)) and a break RVOL (break-bar volume ÷ its 20-bar average) — so a CHoCH on 0.4×ATR and half-average volume is visibly weak instead of looking identical to a real one.

2. Liquidity

Liquidity pools — a confirmed pivot opens a zone, and every later bar that trades into that band adds a touch and its volume to a running tally, until price closes through. An untested level is just a line; a level that has absorbed forty bars and heavy volume is a pool with stops sitting under it.

  • Equal highs/lows marked as engineered liquidity
  • Sweeps — a wick beyond a major pivot that closes back inside — labelled with ATR penetration and rejection %
  • A sweep confirmed by an opposite minor CHoCH inside the reversal window becomes the classic SWEEP+CHoCH sequence

3. Zones

Order blocks are captured at the canonical origin — the last opposite-direction candle before the break, not "the biggest candle nearby." Each carries a live mitigation %, its premium/discount position, and an OTE flag. On mitigation a block flips role into a breaker instead of vanishing.

Fair value gaps are detected on three confirmed bars of the chosen timeframe with lookahead off, filtered by a minimum gap height in ATR, and carry the CE (50%) midline with a live fill %. A fully filled gap inverts instead of being deleted.

4. The V6 liquidity framework

A trading range is built only from a validated break: the impulse leg must have retraced deeply enough first — 50% valid, 38.2% shallow, below that invalid — and the range confirms only once the inducement is taken. Invalid breaks are labelled IND-S: structural inducement, the fake break engineered from resting liquidity.

Inside an active range:

  • IDM line — the bait level whose stops fuel the next leg; flips to IDM taken when wicked (the entry-permission event)
  • ·int / ·ext tags — every zone marked as fuel (inside) or target (at a boundary)
  • EXT BSL / EXT SSL — the range boundaries, named for what they are
  • Draw on Liquidity — the pool price is most likely to seek next, blanking itself when the target is too far away to be a realistic draw

5. Three signals, deliberately non-overlapping

  • Composite Setup Score — a 0–100 weighted sum on every major break (displacement, volume, killzone, premium/discount side, sweep confirmation, zone confluence, OTE). Frequent, continuation-flavoured; one strong factor can compensate for a weak one.
  • APEX Reversal — seven independent AND-gates wrapped around the sweep+CHoCH trigger: displacement floor, momentum divergence against the RSI recorded at the swept pivot, volume climax with a shallow excursion, a rejection candle pattern, HTF alignment, location confluence, premium/discount side. No weighted compensation — rare by design, and silent when anything is missing.
  • Displacement Reversal (DR) — fires on the close of a strong ignition bar at a local extreme, with no structural confirmation at all. It is the fastest and noisiest signal in the script, so it ships OFF.
  • Entry Engine — the capstone. Fires only when an active range, a taken IDM, and a defined DOL all hold and price then enters a preferred-class zone. Output is a full ticket: entry, stop at the zone's protective extreme, target at the DOL, an A+/A/B/C grade counting four independent confirmations, and the resulting R:R. Entries below your minimum R:R are still shown, tagged low R:R — never hidden.

Self-validation

Four rolling hit-rate rows sit on the dashboard, each printed with its sample size. Thin-sample rows refuse to print a percentage at all below their guard — rather than showing a confident-looking number built on three trades.

Metric Result Sample
OB Bounce 93% n=448
Sweep→CHoCH 6% n=66
APEX→1.5×ATR n=0
Entry→1R n=0

In-sample, current-chart-only. One symbol, one timeframe, one session. Not a backtest and not a forward-looking claim.

How to read it

  1. Is there a range, and is it trustworthy? Look for RANGE ✓valid or ~shallow. No range means no validated break was found — the IND-S labels tell you why.
  2. Context. HTF bias badge, premium/discount %, FVG bias.
  3. Where is price headed? The DOL line is the current magnet. A blank DOL means no trustworthy draw — stand down.
  4. Permission. Wait for IDM taken in the range direction. Before that, an entry is positioned on the bait side.
  5. Location. Wait for price to reach a preferred zone (marked ▶), ideally inside the OTE band and on the right side of the range.
  6. Signal. The ⏳ marker means the preconditions have assembled but price has not reached a zone yet — a watch, not an entry. BUY/SELL plus a ticket is the Entry Engine firing; read the grade and the R:R before acting.
  7. Trust calibration. Read the (n=) rows. They are how these signals have actually behaved on this chart.

Settings worth knowing

  • Fair Value Gaps ship OFF, and three layers consume gap events — the FVG bias readout, the Silver Bullet entry step, and the Entry Engine on charts below the 60-minute preference cutoff (where gaps are the preferred zone class). On sub-hourly charts the Entry Engine cannot fire with gaps off.
  • Displacement Reversal ships OFF, as described above.
  • Near-miss "ghost" markers are calibration diagnostics: they appear when exactly one gate failed and name it. Never alerted, never counted in a hit rate.
  • Order block origin can be switched from the default last-opposite-candle rule to the leg extreme.
  • Every layer has its own toggle, and every drawing group its own colours.
REPAINTING & HONESTY
Pivots confirm on a lookback, so a level is drawn back at its own bar once confirmed — the value never changes afterwards, but the drawing appears later than the bar it sits on. That is inherent to any pivot-based structure, and is disclosed here rather than hidden.

HTF bias badge reads confirmed higher-timeframe bars only.
Fair value gaps are detected with lookahead off on confirmed bars.
Session logic uses running intraday extremes, not a higher-timeframe request.
Honest empty states everywhere: with no active range there are no int/ext tags, no boundary rows, and no DOL — the script shows a dash instead of a stale value.

Version ledger

Version What changed
V6.11 Current — Entry Engine ticket output (entry/stop/target/grade/R:R), honest low-R:R tagging instead of hiding entries
V6.8 Silver Bullet — session-scoped day-extreme sweep → MSS → displacement-FVG entry
V6.4 OB-vs-FVG contextual preference by chart timeframe — preferred-zone marker, non-preferred fade
V6 Liquidity framework — validated ranges, IDM permission gate, inducement labelling (IND-S), Draw on Liquidity
V3 OTE zone, killzone gating, inversion FVG, liquidity pool magnitude on EQH/EQL, distance-to-nearest-structure dashboard
V1 Structure grading, order blocks, fair value gaps, liquidity pools, sweeps, killzones

This is an analysis tool — not a trading system, and not financial advice. It does not predict price. Every number it prints describes what has already happened. Test any configuration on your own symbol and timeframe, and read the hit-rate rows before you trust any of the three signals.
