Smart Entry Calculator
Enter a price and direction — get data-driven stop loss, take profit, and risk:reward suggestions based on real liquidation clusters and TP/SL data from Hyperliquid.
What is Smart Entry Calculator?
Smart Entry Calculator combines three Hyperliquid data sources to suggest optimal stop loss and take profit levels for any entry price. Instead of guessing where to place your SL and TP, the tool uses actual market structure: liquidation level clusters for stop placement, TP/SL concentration data for take profit targets, and limit order walls for confluence confirmation.
When you enter a price and choose long or short, the calculator finds the nearest significant liquidation cluster below your entry (for longs) as your suggested stop loss — because liquidation clusters act as magnets that price tends to sweep through. For take profit, it identifies where other traders have placed their TP orders, since these concentrations often align with levels where price reacts.
The result is a complete trade setup with a risk:reward ratio and a confidence score (1-5) based on how much data confluence supports the suggestion. A score of 5 means all three data sources agree on the levels.
Key Concepts
- Stop Loss Suggestion: Placed just below the nearest liquidation cluster (for longs) or above (for shorts) — these are levels the market is likely to test before reversing
- Take Profit Suggestion: Based on where other traders have placed their take profit orders — concentrations of TP orders create natural reaction zones
- Risk:Reward Ratio: (TP distance from entry) / (SL distance from entry) — higher is better, with 2:1 or above considered favorable
- Confidence Score: 1-5 rating based on data confluence — liquidation cluster + TP concentration + limit order wall all agreeing = highest confidence
How to Use Smart Entry Calculator
- Enable Smart Entry from the indicator settings panel in the Chart view
- Enter your planned entry price in the panel that appears
- Toggle between Long and Short direction
- The panel displays suggested SL, TP, R:R ratio, and confidence score
- Visual markers appear on the chart showing the entry, SL, and TP levels
- Adjust your entry price to see how the suggestions change at different levels
What to Look For
- High confidence setups: When the confidence score is 4-5, all data sources agree on the levels — these are the strongest setups. The SL is behind a liquidation cluster, the TP aligns with a TP order concentration, and limit order walls confirm both levels.
- Favorable R:R: Look for setups with R:R of 2:1 or better. If the suggested SL is very close to entry but TP is far away, the trade structure is favorable even if confidence is moderate.
- Dangerous entries: If the calculator shows SL very far from entry (large risk) with TP close (small reward), the entry price is in a poor location relative to market structure. Consider waiting for a better entry.
- Combine with: Chart for visual confirmation of the levels, Liq. Heatmap & Levels for the underlying liquidation data, TP/SL Heatmap for the take profit order concentrations
Data Sources
| Source | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Liquidation Levels (HL Node) | Stop loss placement — nearest significant cluster |
| TP/SL Orders (HL Node) | Take profit placement — order concentration zones |
| Limit Orders (HL Node) | Confluence confirmation — walls that strengthen levels |
Tips
- The calculator suggests levels based on current market structure — these change as positions open and close, so check before entering a trade rather than relying on old readings
- A high R:R ratio is meaningless without confidence — a 5:1 R:R with confidence score 1 is riskier than a 2:1 R:R with confidence score 5
- Use the suggested levels as starting points, not rigid rules — you may want to place your SL slightly further behind the cluster to account for wicks
- The tool works best on higher-volume symbols (BTC, ETH, SOL) where the data is densest
