# SFP Model™

**CandelaCharts – SFP Model** is an advanced indicator designed to detect and visualize **Swing Failure Patterns (SFP)** — also known as liquidity grabs, fakeouts or Turtle Soup setups.

It combines:

* precise SFP pattern recognition
* higher timeframe (HTF) candle rendering with liquidity sweep visualization
* dynamic trendlines and regression-based channels
* multi-timeframe success/failure tracking
* optional high-probability filtering using channel or trendline interaction
* lower timeframe imbalances like fvg and ifvg
* automatic multi-length pivot scanning mode
* rich status-aware labeling and a configurable information dashboard

The main purpose is to help traders clearly see high-probability reversal zones created by liquidity sweeps, while providing strong contextual information through higher timeframe structure, dynamic boundaries, and model performance feedback.

{% hint style="warning" %}

* This model is designed for educational and analytical purposes to study market structure, trends, and price behavior.
* It does not provide trading signals and should not be used as a substitute for independent analysis or proper risk management.
* The model is timeframe - and symbol-agnostic, automatically adapting to any market, asset, or chart it is applied to.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.candelacharts.com/models/sfp-model.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
