What is It?
A scored map of institutional liquidity pools, with a sweep-and-reversal trigger built on top.
ILA-001 V2 maps where resting stop and breakout orders cluster — swing extremes, relatively equal highs and lows, prior-period extremes — and publishes a conviction score for every pool. It then watches for the only event that matters: a pool being swept
and rejected. Built for 4H and Daily on gold, indices, energy and major FX.

PSRC-QR | ILA-001
Every chart tool in this category marks levels. Very few tell you which ones to trust.
ILA-001 builds a live map of inferred resting liquidity — buyside pools above swing highs, sellside pools below swing lows — and scores each one from 0 to 100 across five weighted components: equal-level clustering, transacted volume attributed to the price band, higher-timeframe period-extreme confluence, position within the range, and round-number coincidence. Pools are then graded A, B or C against the live population on your chart, so an A always means the best available right now rather than a number that only worked on the instrument it was tuned for.
The edge is not the pool. It is the failure after the pool is taken.
A level being touched is not a trade. ILA-001 arms only on a genuine sweep — penetration beyond the level followed by rejection back inside — and then requires structural confirmation: a break of the swing captured at sweep time, or a displacement bar where that swing is out of reach. Extension and average-range filters are sampled at the sweep itself, not at the confirmation bar, because measuring at confirmation understates extension by the size of the reversal you are trying to confirm.
What it shows you
Graded pool zones with score, touch count and relative volume. A dashboard reporting ATR, ADR ratio, extension, daily regime, CVD divergence, pool populations per side, nearest pools with distance in ATR, live sweep state, and — when a setup is blocked — exactly which filter blocked it.
Where it works
Designed for 4H as the operating timeframe with Daily as the strategic map. Strongest on XAUUSD, US500, US30, NAS100 and crude, where volume is real. Fully usable on EURUSD, GBPUSD and USDJPY with the volume component set to zero, since TradingView FX volume is tick count rather than traded size.
What it does not do
It does not read the order book. No chart-only tool can. ILA-001 infers pool location from price structure and volume attribution and publishes a confidence estimate — it does not measure resting orders, and it says so in the manual rather than implying otherwise. It is counter-trend by construction and includes explicit filters to suppress entries during expansion regimes.
