Swing trading requires patience, timing, and the ability to identify high-probability setups across multiple timeframes. Our Swing Trading Setup Scanner automates the process of finding breakouts, flag patterns, and support/resistance levels, helping you capture 3-10% moves while managing risk effectively.

From cup-and-handle patterns to ascending triangles, this template recognizes proven chart formations and validates them with volume, momentum, and multi-timeframe confirmation. Built for traders who hold positions for days to weeks, it helps you time entries and exits for maximum profit potential.

Advanced Chart Pattern Recognition

Classic Breakout Patterns

Automatically detect cup-and-handle, ascending triangles, bull flags, and pennant formations. The template calculates breakout levels, measures pattern dimensions, and estimates price targets based on pattern height and volume confirmation.

Support & Resistance Analysis

Identify key support and resistance levels using pivot points, moving averages, and volume-weighted price levels. The template highlights areas where price is likely to react and calculates risk/reward ratios for potential trades.

Volume Confirmation

Validate patterns with volume analysis including volume breakouts, accumulation/distribution patterns, and volume-weighted average price (VWAP). High-probability setups require both price and volume confirmation.

Multi-Timeframe Validation

Confirm swing setups across daily, weekly, and intraday timeframes. The template ensures trend alignment and identifies the strongest setups where multiple timeframes support the same directional bias.

Complete Setup Analysis Framework

Entry & Exit Optimization

Calculate optimal entry points near support levels or on breakouts with proper stop-loss placement. The template suggests multiple entry strategies including breakout entries, pullback entries, and momentum entries based on your risk tolerance.

Risk Management Integration

Automatically calculate position sizes based on stop-loss distance and account risk percentage. The template ensures consistent risk management across all swing trades while maximizing reward potential.

Market Context Analysis

Evaluate setups within broader market context including sector performance, market volatility, and overall trend direction. The template helps you avoid trading against the primary trend and identify the strongest sector leaders.
