Sweep Swing Screener [TradingFinder]

🔵Introduction

Understanding how liquidity forms and how price reacts around key structural levels is essential for identifying precise, low-risk entry points. The Sweep Swing Screener is a specialized tool developed to continuously monitor market activity and detect liquidity sweeps, reaction zones, and valid confirmation candles across various trading instruments and timeframes.



This tool can be applied both to scan multiple symbols at once and to analyze all timeframes of a specific asset for potential reversal points. It begins by identifying a clear swing point, whether a swing high or a swing low, and then outlines a reaction zone between that level and either the highest or lowest value of the swing candle's open or close.



If the price revisits this zone, performs a liquidity grab, and prints an indecision candle like a doji or a narrow-bodied bar that closes within the zone, this may indicate a rejection of the level and the failure of a breakout attempt. At that moment, depending on the context, the screener may identify a bullish or bearish reversal and generate a corresponding Long or Short signal.

By emphasizing accurate entry timing, alignment with institutional order flow, and avoidance of common traps, this approach highlights market areas where liquidity engineering, reversal probability, and price inefficiency come together. As a result, the Sweep Swing Screener becomes a valuable part of any trader’s toolkit, particularly for those who rely on price action and liquidity logic to drive their decisions. It allows traders to focus on clean, actionable setups without getting lost in noise or misleading breakouts.


🔵How to Use

The Sweep Swing Screener is designed to track market structure in real time and alert users when conditions for a potential reversal are present. Its methodology combines liquidity behavior with swing analysis and candle confirmation, all within predefined reaction zones.

To better understand this logic, consider a basic market flow where a swing high or low forms, followed by a return to that level. If the price sweeps the previous extreme and forms a confirming candle within the reaction zone, a signal is issued.

🟣Long Signal

To identify a long setup, the screener looks for a valid swing low, often a level below which sell-side liquidity is likely to be clustered. Once found, it defines a reaction zone from the swing low to the lowest point between the candle’s open and close.

If the price returns to this area and creates a lower wick that extends beneath the swing low, the tool checks whether the price manages to close back inside the range, rejecting the breakdown. This indicates absorption of selling pressure and failure to sustain the move lower.

The screener then waits for a confirmation candle to appear. Typically, this is a doji or other small-bodied candle that closes inside the zone. If these conditions are met, the screener records a Long signal for that asset and, if enabled, sends a notification to alert the user.




🟣Short Signal

For bearish setups, the screener begins by identifying a valid swing high, which usually marks a level where buy-side liquidity is concentrated. It then creates a reaction zone from the swing high to the highest point between the candle’s open and close.

When price returns to this level, sweeps above the swing high, and then fails to close higher, it may signal the presence of a bull trap and early exhaustion in the upward move.

A confirmation candle, usually a doji or a rejection bar that closes back within the zone, is then required. Once that occurs, the screener marks the asset with a Short signal and optionally sends a real-time alert to the user.

This type of setup helps highlight potential institutional sell zones, offering insight into where price is likely to reverse following a liquidity event.

🔵Conclusion

The Sweep Swing Screener provides a systematic method for identifying potential reversal zones by combining price structure, liquidity behavior, and candle-based confirmation. In markets that are often noisy and full of failed breakouts, focusing on these three elements helps clarify directional bias and supports more confident decision-making.

With the ability to scan multiple symbols and timeframes efficiently, this tool allows traders to stay focused on high-quality setups without the need to manually sift through dozens of charts. The inclusion of optional alerts further enhances its utility by offering timely updates when criteria are met.

By moving away from reactive strategies and toward structural anticipation, this screener supports traders who align their methods with institutional logic and the mechanics of smart money.
