ICT Turtle Soup — Liquidity Reversal Detection
Trap the Trap: A Precision Reversal Strategy from the Inner Circle Trader Playbook

This indicator implements the Turtle Soup liquidity reversal setup — a widely used ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concept that targets false breakouts beyond recent swing highs or lows. These patterns typically occur when price grabs liquidity above or below a known level, then snaps back, trapping retail traders and creating a high-probability reversal scenario.

🔍 What This Script Does:
Detects Liquidity Sweeps Above/Below Key Swing Levels

Uses a customizable swing lookback to identify recent swing highs and lows.

Triggers a Bearish Turtle Soup when price runs above a previous swing high and closes back below.

Triggers a Bullish Turtle Soup when price sweeps below a prior swing low and closes back above.

Plots Clear Visual Signals

Reversal signals appear as 🐢🔻 (Bearish) or 🐢🔺 (Bullish) markers directly on your chart.
