Cival Liquidity Map — Platform Compatibility

The ATAS plugin is the reference implementation. Each port computes what its platform's data allows and labels anything approximate or unavailable inside the indicator itself. The sections below are the READMEs that ship next to each port's source file (ports/<platform>/README.md).

TradingView (Pine Script v6)

Cival Liquidity Map for TradingView

Port of the ATAS original Cival Liquidity Map v1.0.0.0 to Pine Script v6 (CivalLiquidityMap.pine).

Maps price structure from closed candles: confirmed swing pivots, equal highs / equal lows (EQH / EQL), structural sweep markers, displacement-confirmed structure breaks with a structural block (order-block style zone), and broken blocks that flip to the opposite side. Levels remain on the chart until a candle closes through them. The original is price-only (it does not read footprint, volume or the order book), so this is a near-complete port: it works on every TradingView plan and every symbol with ordinary candles.

Sweeps here are price patterns (a pivot's extreme is exceeded and the bar closes back inside). Neither the original nor this port identifies stop orders or resting liquidity; "liquidity" is a description of where unmitigated highs/lows sit.

Requirements

Install

1. Open the Pine Editor, paste the full contents of CivalLiquidityMap.pine, Save, then Add to chart.
2. Adjust Pivot confirmation bars, Equal high/low tolerance (ticks) and Displacement / prior ATR to the instrument and timeframe.
3. Optional alerts: Create alert > Condition: Cival Liquidity Map > Any alert() function call. Off by default.

Verification note: the script was compiled on TradingView's servers (0 errors, 0 warnings). It has not been observed running on a live chart in the build environment.

Feature matrix

Values: Full / Approximate / Not available / Not ported.

No row in the matrix is Approximate for data reasons: the price logic is identical. The only Approximate row concerns the presentation-only compact display mode.

Settings mapping

Names and groups mirror the ATAS display names. Defaults come from Cival.LiquidityMap.settings.json.

Port-only input (group Port (TradingView only)): Panel position.

Not ported: Session start / Session timezone / Initial balance minutes (inherited; Liquidity Map does not use them), Panel top offset / width / automatic placement, Show readiness/status panel (no effect in the original), Compact volume numbers, Show bubble volume numbers, Bubble number color (no bubbles drawn), Avoid overlapping labels, Minimum bar spacing for signal labels, CSV export folder, Alert sound, Share with Cival Decision Panel.

Known differences from ATAS

1. Bar-close evaluation. Touch and invalidation are evaluated when a bar closes. ATAS marks a touch as soon as the forming candle trades into a level, which can show Tested earlier on a live chart. Historical results are the same.
2. Floating point. Pine uses floats where ATAS uses decimal. Equal-high/low tolerance comparisons carry a 1e-6 tick allowance; a tolerance hit that differs by one float ulp could classify differently.
3. Rendering. Zones are boxes plus a centre line extended to the right; a one-tick-high band can look thin at low zoom. Only the highest-ranked zones are drawn (TradingView caps boxes, lines and labels at 500 each).
4. No viewport awareness. The original culls zones outside the visible window; Pine cannot read the scroll position, so the ranking runs over every stored zone (capped at 1000, oldest dropped, as in the original).
5. Zone and marker retention. Marker labels beyond TradingView's 500-label limit are dropped oldest-first.
6. History depth. Only the bars your plan loads are processed; Maximum bars back limits it further.
7. ATR window. Computed from the 20 closed bars before the signal bar, with the first bar of the window using high-low only (exactly as FlowMath.Atr), which is slightly different from ta.atr.

NinjaTrader 8 (NinjaScript)

Cival Liquidity Map — NinjaTrader 8

Compile on import: NinjaScript Editor → F5. This file has not been compiled against NinjaTrader 8 (NT8 was not available where the port was written). It was type-checked at C# 7.3 against hand-written stand-ins for the NinjaScript / SharpDX types, and every NT8 API name was checked against the NinjaTrader 8 help guide, but only your F5 compile proves it against the real platform.

Summary and requirements

Cival Liquidity Map marks price structure from closed candles only: confirmed swing pivots (available only after their right-hand confirmation bars close), equal highs / lows (EQH / EQL), price sweeps (SWP), displacement-confirmed breaks of structure (BOS) with structural order-block zones (OB), broken-block flips (BRK) and close-through invalidation. It is a price-pattern map: it does not identify stop orders or resting liquidity, and it makes no profit or accuracy claim. Indicator only: no orders, no network.

Requirements: any NinjaTrader 8 chart (no Order Flow+ needed, no Volumetric bars, no tick replay). Calculate = OnBarClose; nothing repaints.

Install

1. Copy CivalLiquidityMap.cs to Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom\Indicators\.
2. New → NinjaScript Editor, press F5 (Compile).
3. Chart → right-click → Indicators → Cival Liquidity Map.

How the levels behave

• EQH / EQL: a new confirmed pivot high (low) within Equal high/low tolerance ticks of the previous confirmed one creates a level at the new pivot, available one bar after confirmation.
• SWP: a closed bar that trades beyond the latest confirmed pivot and closes back inside it.
• BOS + OB: a close beyond the latest confirmed pivot with a real body of at least Displacement / prior ATR × the 20-bar average true range of the preceding bars. The latest opposite-colour candle within the preceding 10 bars becomes the structural block; the broken pivot is then cleared.
• BRK: when a block's close-through invalidation happens, a flipped (opposite-side) broken-block zone starts on the next bar.
• Invalidation: a block / level is invalidated when a bar closes through it (below a bullish zone, above a bearish one). Touched levels stay visible (grey) until invalidated.

Not ported (and why)

Known differences from the ATAS original

1. Closed-bar touch tests. ATAS also evaluates "touched" on the forming candle; NinjaTrader's OnBarClose model only sees closed bars, so "Tested" (and the touch alert) appears when the touching bar closes. Invalidation and all structure logic were already closed-bar in the original.
2. Panels. Drawn with SharpDX at the Panel top offset; there is no cross-indicator auto-arrangement.
3. Numeric type. Prices are doubles with a 1e-6 tick tolerance on equality-sensitive comparisons; ATAS uses decimals. A close exactly on a level's edge can differ in rare cases.
4. Maximum bars back. Only the latest N bars are processed, the same intent as the original; the retained working set is the last 1000 closed bars.
5. Time columns in CSV. time is the derived bar open (exact for Minute / Second bars, otherwise the previous bar's stamp) and available_time is the bar's close stamp, both in NinjaTrader chart time.

SWP, BOS, OB and BRK are descriptions of observed price behaviour, not identification of stop orders, and not calibrated probabilities. No profitability is claimed.
