The pool map under price: the panel draws price as a line on close over the pools, the header reads TAKEN ▲ 30669.00 · PENDING, and the pool with the top odds above, MAJOR 53% at 30759.75, is flagged on the price panel.

Chart pictures are illustrations of the software, not a performance record. Futures trading carries substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor, and hypothetical or simulated results have inherent limitations that may differ materially from live trading. Risk disclosures.

Why you need it

Every liquidity tool draws the same thing — the highs and lows price left behind — and most stop there. DS ProLiquidityHunter adds how likely price is to go back for each one: every pool carries the measured odds that price trades to it within the horizon, read from your own chart's history and adjusted for the time of day, and the panel scores those odds against what happened next, in its header. When a pool is taken, the next close says whether it was SWEPT or RUN. You see where the liquidity is and what it would take to get there.

What the panel reads

Every swing extreme price has not traded back through is mapped as a pool, over a line-on-close view of price, and heated by the measured odds that price reaches it within the horizon — odds read from your own chart's history.

  1. 01POOLS — buy-side over the highs, sell-side under the lows, stacked when they coincide and ranked LOCAL, SWING or MAJOR
  2. 02ODDS — COOL from 5%, WARM from 25%, HOT from 60%: probabilities, the same on every chart, with nothing to tune
  3. 03TRACK RECORD — how often each tier was taken within the horizon, measured on the chart in front of you
  4. 04SWEPT or RUN — the verdict on a taken pool, given on the next close; a swept MAJOR pool is marked on price

  • Futures — runs on it

Reads price only. Pools are sized by the average true range and the heat tiers are probabilities, so both mean the same thing on every instrument, timeframe and bar type.

What it reads

Price only (closed bars). No volume, no tick data.

Good to know

It measures reach — distance and time — and marks a precisely defined event. It does not see resting orders, and it is not a forecast of direction. It reads price only, on any instrument, timeframe and bar type.

Closed-bar decisions throughout — it does not repaint.

DS Universe tools are charting and research software for educational and informational purposes. They are not investment advice and no output is a forecast or a guarantee of any result. Trading futures and other leveraged instruments carries substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor.

Test it on your own charts first.

Four screenshots and a paragraph are not enough to judge an indicator on. Watch it work in your own instrument, on your own timeframe, before it goes anywhere near a live account. Both ways of doing that are free.

  1. 01

    Replay a session you have already seen

    Market Replay runs a past session back tick by tick, at whatever speed you like. You get to watch DS ProLiquidityHunter print in conditions you remember, and pause on the bars where it mattered.

  2. 02

    Then trade it forward, on the simulator

    Replay shows you the past with the ending already known. The simulator does not — it runs live, in real time, on real prices, with nothing at stake. That is where you find out whether you can actually act on what you are seeing.

A simulated fill is not a live fill. Replay and the simulator cannot reproduce real queue position, slippage, or what it feels like to hold a position with money on it, and results from either may differ materially from live trading. Test to learn how a tool behaves — not to estimate what it might return.

DS ProLiquidityHunter, moment by moment

The conditions DS ProLiquidityHunter is built for, drawn by its shipped rules. Scroll and scale it like a chart, replay it bar by bar, jump between its moments, or switch the chart to light.

DS Replay examples are illustrative: each scenario is composed for the example from recorded one-minute futures candles, to show the conditions a tool is built for, and is not a recording of a trading session. The tool drawing on it runs its shipped rules unchanged. They show how the software reads price; they are not a performance record, no trade is taken or shown, and live markets often behave differently. Futures trading carries substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor, and hypothetical or simulated results have inherent limitations that may differ materially from live trading.
