50% Matrix
Liquidity sweep, a two-candle fib and the 50% entry, with a stop loss and two take-profits.
What it shows
50% Matrix waits for a liquidity sweep, then draws a Fibonacci layout across the two candles that made it. The liquidity is the previous trading day's high and low plus the high and low of the last 50 bars before the pair. A setup forms when candle 1 or candle 2 wicks through one of those levels and candle 2 closes back the other way — down after a sweep of a high, up after a sweep of a low. By default candle 1 must be the opposite colour.
The fib is measured wick to wick across the two candles: 1 (red) is the stop loss at the sweep wick, 0.5 (orange) is the 50% entry, 0 is TP1 at the far wick, and −0.618 (green) is TP2. A setup is drawn only once candle 2 closes, so it never repaints; on the live candle a dashed preview shows a setup that would confirm if the candle closed now. It marks levels only — it doesn't place orders.
How it's used in the MTM method
This draws the setup taught in the "50% Matrix Market Structure Entry" lesson of the Academy's Advanced Matrix Strategies module (level 6) — the entry at the 50% retracement of the move. The sweep it waits for is the stop hunt covered in the same module's "Defeat the Stop Hunt" lesson, and the stop loss sits beyond the swept wick rather than inside the zone that just got taken.

FAQ
Does 50% Matrix repaint?
No. A setup is drawn only when candle 2 closes. The dashed preview on the live candle is a heads-up that disappears if the candle closes any other way.
Do I have to wait for price to come back to 50%?
Per the script's own description, you can enter at candle 2's close or wait for the pullback to the 0.5 level. The 50% retracement entry is the one taught in the Advanced Matrix Strategies module.
Can it alert me?
Yes — seven alerts: buy setup, sell setup, price at the 50% entry, TP1, TP2, stop loss and setup forming. Using "Any alert() function call" gives one alert with every level price in it.
