Smart Stop Scanner

Smart Stop Scanner runs the Smart Stop level detection across your whole watchlist 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 whole watchlist for current SL levels
• Tightness classification, color-coded: Very Tight, Tight, Neutral, Loose, Very Loose
• Distance% column: how far price sits from each SL level, in ADR terms
• Eight sortable columns: Symbol, Bid, Direction, SL, SL%, Distance%, Time, Status
• Click any symbol row to jump straight to its chart
• Alert filter by tightness: get pinged only on the tight setups and skip the loose ones
• New, valid and broken status tracked per symbol, with alerts on new and broken levels
• MT5 only

How traders use it

The most common use is pre-session preparation. Before the open, or through a slow stretch, you sort the scanner by Distance% 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 tightness 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.

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 Loose means the level is far out, asking more capital to hold. Where you trade in that spectrum is your call. Seeing the classification across the whole watchlist at once means you make it with full context, not symbol by symbol. The alert filter keeps the panel quiet: set it to Tight and only the setups worth your attention reach you.

Getting started

Add your symbols in the settings (or leave it on your broker watchlist), pick the scan timeframe (M5 or M15 for intraday, H1 for swing) and the panel populates on the next refresh. Sort by Distance% to start, and set the alert filter to Tight so only the sharp setups ping you.
