The Swing Structure Scanner Indicator is a versatile tool designed to provide traders with a comprehensive overview of swing structures through a consolidated "High/Low-Only" perspective. This dashboard-type indicator has the unique capability of simultaneously retrieving and displaying swing points from up to six different tickers and timeframes, which is perfect for traders who like to analyze multiple market conditions at once.

Trading with the Swing Structure Scanner Indicator

Swing Structure Scanner Image

This indicator is structured to show swing data from several sources—up to six distinct tickers or timeframes. The visual representation includes graphs that illuminate the current swing structure from the selected charts. Each swing graph displays live positioning of swing points in relation to previous points, making it easier to identify and analyze patterns across various tickers or timeframes simultaneously. This can be particularly advantageous for traders seeking opportunities through confluence detection.

Second Swing Graph Image

The Swing Structure Scanner acts as a proficient aid for recognizing confluence, whether it occurs across multiple market tickers or within higher timeframes on the same ticker. By observing where each swing point lies in relation to its neighbors, traders can gain insights into when higher lows or lower highs form, which can signify an emerging trend or signal potential breakout scenarios to watch for.

Customizing Your Analysis

This indicator also enables customization of swing length to suit individual trading strategies. The display look back feature allows traders to adjust the number of swing points visible at any one time, offering flexibility in their market analysis.

Customizable Settings Image

The display is highly customizable, and traders aren't restricted to displaying six symbols at all times—the setup can be minimized to show only the necessary symbols. Additionally, traders have the option to arrange displays vertically or stick with the default horizontal arrangement, making it adaptable to their specific needs.

Note: Hover over any swing point in the dashboard to get an instant readout of the swing point's exact price level.
