The Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) Indicator in MT4 is a powerful tool for traders using MetaTrader 4, helping identify fake breakouts and key liquidity zones. It detects when price falsely breaks a previous high or low, triggering stop-loss orders and collecting liquidity before reversing direction.
Green Zones = High price breakout attempts
Red Zones = Low price breakout attempts
This indicator is ideal for traders using ICT, Smart Money, and liquidity-based trading strategies.
