Smart Stop Scanner

Smart Stop Scanner scans up to 35 symbols and returns the current stop-loss level, direction, distance, and status for each one in a single sortable panel. It applies the same logic as Smart Stop Indicator but across your entire watchlist at once, giving you a structured view of where SL levels sit relative to price - before you decide which symbol to trade.

Key Features

• Scans up to 35 user-defined symbols for current SL levels
• Color-coded SL classification: Very Tight, Tight, Neutral, Loose, Very Loose
• Distance% column showing how far price is from each SL level
• Sortable columns: Symbol, Bid, Direction, SL, SL%, Distance%, Time, Status
• Click any symbol row to navigate directly to its chart
• Status-based filtering to focus on active or specific states
• Alert cooldown per symbol to prevent notification flooding
• MT5 only

How traders use it

The most common use case is pre-session preparation. Before the market opens or during a slow period, traders sort the scanner by Distance% to find which symbols have price closest to a valid SL level. That proximity can indicate either a trade setup forming or a level about to be tested. Sorting by the SL% classification quickly filters out symbols where the stop is structurally too tight or too wide for your risk model.

The color-coded classification handles the relative assessment. Very Tight means the current SL level is historically close relative to ADR - potentially favorable for risk/reward but also prone to premature stop-outs. Very Loose means the level is far out and requires more capital at risk to hold. Where you choose to trade within that spectrum depends on your approach, but having the classification visible across 35 symbols simultaneously means you make that judgment with full context rather than symbol by symbol. Alert cooldown per symbol prevents the panel from spamming notifications when a busy session triggers multiple recalculations on the same instrument.

Getting started

Smart Stop Scanner is MT5 only. Add your symbols in the settings, configure alert cooldown to your preferred interval, and the panel populates on the next bar. Sort by Distance% to start your first scan. The full configuration walkthrough, including how to set up status filters, is at {{VIDEO_URL}}.
