Indicator looks for ICT & Smart Money trades on any timeframe. These types of trades reveal how the big institutions, banks and hedge funds trade with big money. If they want their very big positions to be filled they need to find areas in chart where the majority of the money is sitting. Where is it? Where is the majority of orders placed? Right below supports or right above resistance, these orders are stoplosses or stop orders. So they need to push the price to these areas, take all the available stoplosses and trigger all the available stop orders in order to fill their positions and then push the price to the opposite side to make profit (and retail to lose).
Indicator looks for support or resistance (S/R) areas which are represented by dotted lines. This S/R areas are created by minimum of 2 pivot high/low (H/L). Every pivot H/L that creates the S/R area is marked with diamond label. This S/R area is called liquidity. After liquidity is created, indicator looks for liquidity grab (mostly represented by fast spike to this area - it is labeled with x-cross) and then price should go fast to the opposite side of the created structure. Indicator considers as a created structure everything that was created on the other side of the candles from the oldest pivot H/L which creates particular liquidity. For example, if liquidity is created with 3 pivot highs, indicator looks at the oldest pivot high and from there it is looking for the lowest low. Under this lowest low is dashed line which means that this level should be broken with closed candle. This action is called market structure shift (MSS), when the price shifted very fast from highs to lows. After MSS, when the price went fast to one direction, there were some imbalances in prices, in our example selling pressure was a lot bigger than buying pressure and there were created some long untested bearish candles. This untested areas in candles are called imbalances or gaps of fair value gaps (FVG). These are labeled with rectangles. It is expected that these gaps will be tested in near future to "balance the market".
We can put limit orders into these gaps (or into order blocks in PREMIUM indicator) and await some retracement after MSS to open our positions and after the positions are opened we can expect trend continuation in the direction where market structure shift was made (away from liquidity grab). So stoplosses can be placed above/below liquidity grab candle (marked with x-cross).
Alerts can be set for MSS to Long & Short and for liquidity grabs to Long & Short.
All settings of this indicator should be self-explanatory and most of them have tooltips for better understanding.

Versionsinformation:
New setting/input "Remove Old Labels" has been added. When the setting/input "Show Live Liquidity Grabs" is checked/active, all the created labels won't be removed by default. If you check/activate the new setting/input, all old labels will be removed continuously. Removing of all old labels was active by default in previous versions of the indicator and when adding alerts it was showing the information that indicator repaints but it repaints = removes old labels on purpose. This functionality is optional now.

Live Liquidity Grabs lines and labels won't be removed after they are shown because when adding alerts the information about indicator repainting was still present. Only way to remove them is to refresh the chart or to change any setting/input of the indicator.
