# Swing Structure Scanner

Swing Structure Scanner is an indicator on [Vela](https://vela.luxalgo.com/chart), our next-generation charting platform, written in Pine Script®.

A dashboard that streams the swing structure of up to six tickers or timeframes at once, drawing each as a compact graph of swing points positioned against their predecessors. Spot higher lows building across a watchlist, or confluence stacking up across timeframes of one market, without cycling through charts to find it.

The **Swing Structure Scanner** condenses [swing structure](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/swing-structure-grammar/) into a dashboard of live graphs, retrieving swing points from up to six tickers and timeframes simultaneously. Each graph positions the latest swings relative to previous ones from a high/low-only perspective, so structural shifts anywhere on the panel stand out (a market quietly printing higher lows, a timeframe rolling over into lower highs) while you stay on a single chart.

## How to Trade the Swing Structure Scanner?

- **Higher lows forming**: on any graph suggest an emerging uptrend or a breakout scenario worth watching.
- **Lower highs forming**: the mirror read, with supply leaning on every rally.
- **Cross-ticker confluence**: several symbols shifting structure together strengthens the case on each of them.
- **Higher-timeframe stacking**: load one symbol across several timeframes to check whether structure agrees from intraday upward.
- **Hover a swing point**: for an instant readout of its exact price level.

The scanner is a monitoring layer rather than an on-price overlay: it tells you which chart deserves attention next, and the [swing points](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/swing-high-low/) it plots update live as each feed evolves.

## Swing Structure Scanner Settings

- **Swing Length**: the length used to calculate each swing structure.
- **Swing Display Lookback**: how many swing point pairs each graph shows.
- **Symbols**: the ticker and timeframe assigned to each displayed graph.
- **Vertical Display**: stacks graphs vertically (the default); turn it off to lay them out side by side in a row.
- **Scaling Factor**: adjusts the overall size of the display.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Do I have to run all six graphs?

No. The display can be minimized to only the symbols you need, and the vertical layout option plus the scaling factor let the panel fit around your chart rather than on top of it.

### What is the fastest way to use it for confluence?

Dedicate slots to the same symbol on rising timeframes and act only when their structure agrees. Once the panel lines up, an on-chart companion such as [HTF Swing Structure Signals](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/htf-swing-structure-signals/) can translate that higher-timeframe read into levels on the market you are actually trading.

### How is the Swing Structure Scanner accessed?

It is one of the free tools in the LuxAlgo Library, and this page also lets you run and backtest it in Quant, our coding agent.
