liquidity_lookback Hourly bars back to define the swing that must be swept. Higher = bigger, older swings; lower = local, recent only.

The setup, drawn
Here's what Sweep Failure looks like on the chart.
A stylised sample of a fired Sweep Failure setup with the entry, stop, and target(s) marked. Every historical trigger in Sentio renders the same overlays at the exact bar it fired.

Structural checks
What has to be true for Sweep Failure to fire.
Every Sweep Failure setup runs through this checklist. If any required check is red, the setup stays in WATCHING — never gets promoted to ARMED or READY. When you review the setup in Sentio, each check shows green or grey so you can see exactly which conditions were true at trigger time.
- 01 Prior swing high/low identified
- 02 Wick-sweep beyond the level with rejection close
- 03 Entry-timeframe FVG on the failure
- 04 Prior-session bias alignment (optional)
- 05 Sweep candle range vs prior-20-bar ATR gate
Parameters
Tune it to your own read.
Every parameter has a description and an interpretation note in the product. Change one, save, and the next scan tick uses the new value. Here are the ones traders adjust most.
fvg_min_ticks Entry-timeframe FVG minimum height in ticks. Higher = only meaningful gaps trigger; lower = more noise.
target_r Fallback R multiple for T2 when no liquidity pool is in range. Higher = wider fallback target; lower = conservative.
max_setup_bars How long a setup stays alive before expiring. Higher = keeps setups alive longer; lower = purges aggressively.
Not advice
What Sweep Failure is — and isn't.
Sweep Failure detects a specific failed-sweep + inversion structure. It does not predict outcome — historical fill/loss rates in the replay engine are simulated, and real market execution introduces slippage.
