Smart Stop Scanner Execution & Risk Every valid stop on your watchlist, ranked by tightness.
Smart Stop Scanner runs the Smart Stop level detection across your Market Watch and classifies each stop by tightness, from very tight to very wide. One sortable glass panel, with distance, direction and status for every symbol. MT5 only.
Where it came from
Three answers from Daniel.
The gap
A new stop level forming is the moment I want to see. Across a watchlist, that meant one chart at a time.
The idea
The same structure reading over every symbol in one table: where a level has just formed, and how far price sits from it.
What makes it special
Each stop rated by tightness. I get pinged for the ones that fit my risk.

About Smart Stop Scanner
Smart Stop Scanner runs the Smart Stop level detection across your Market Watch at once and lays the results out in one sortable panel: the current stop-loss level for each symbol, how tight it is, how far price sits from it, and whether it is freshly formed. Instead of clicking through charts one by one, you see at a glance which symbols are worth a closer look.
Key Features
- Scans your Market Watch live for current SL levels, narrowed by an Include or Exclude list
- Tightness classification in SL %, color-coded from very tight to very wide
- Dist % column: how far price sits from each SL level, in ADR terms
- Eight sortable columns: Symbol, Bid, Dir, Last SL, SL %, Dist %, Formed (the breakout bar) and Status
- Alerts on new and broken levels and an optional distance alert once per stop level, with a separate alert list and a filter by tightness
- Glass panel in the look of Smart Stop Indicator 3.0, with a settings page to hide broken stops, show only new ones and switch alerts and their channels
- Sell stops include the normal spread, by the same rule as Smart Stop Indicator since 3.0
- MT5 only
How traders use it
The scanner's daily job is pre-session preparation. Before the open, or through a slow stretch, you sort the scanner by Dist % to see which symbols have price sitting closest to a valid SL level. Proximity points to a setup forming, or a level about to be tested. Sorting by SL % does the other half of the filtering: it pushes the symbols whose stop is too tight or too wide for your risk model out of the way. For the full chart, the minus folds the panel to a single status line.
The color-coded classification carries the relative read. Very tight means the SL level is historically close in ADR terms, efficient on risk-to-reward but more exposed to a premature stop-out. Very wide means the level is far out, asking more capital to hold. Where you trade in that spectrum is your call. Seeing the classification across your Market Watch at once means you make it with the full picture in front of you. The alert filter keeps your alerts quiet: set it to "Tight and tighter" and only the setups worth your attention reach you.
Supported markets
Any instrument in your Market Watch, under your broker's own symbol names: forex, metals, indices, crypto and other CFDs.
Getting started
Attach the scanner to a chart, pick the scan timeframe (M5 for intraday, H1 for swing) and the panel fills symbol by symbol from your Market Watch. Sort by Dist % to start, and set the alert filter to "Tight and tighter" so only the sharp setups ping you.

Works great with
Smart Stop Scanner is built to run alongside Smart Stop Indicator. The scanner surfaces the opportunity across the market; click anywhere on a row and the indicator gives you the full on-chart detail. Smart Stop Manager then carries the stop once you are in the trade. Run all three and the Smart Stop workflow is covered end to end: find it, read it, manage it.
