Find Swing Trades That Have a Backtested Edge
Our swing trading scanner shows you the historical performance of every trade setup it finds.
Swing Trading Scanner Service
Our swing trading scanner identifies trade opportunities that have a backtested edge. Here at Stock Market Guides, our specialty is bringing data and statistics to your trading decisions. With every swing trade setup that comes up in our scanner, you’ll be able to see exactly how that trade setup has performed historically in backtests. This allows swing traders to make fully informed trading decisions. There’s no longer a need to take a blind leap of faith when making a stock trade.
How Our Swing Trading Scanner Works
Here’s an example of what the results look like from our swing trading scanner. You can see that each scan reflects a specific swing trading strategy based on technical analysis (like chart patterns and stock indicators). Each scan result shows not only the stock, but also how the stock performed historically for that swing trading strategy according to our backtest research.
Features of Our Swing Trading Scanner
Shows Historical Performance
What makes our swing trading scanner one-of-a-kind is that each scan result shows how that stock performed in backtests when the same scan conditions were met in the past. Why waste time or money considering swing trades that don’t have a track record of success?
Gives Complete Swing Trade Setups
Each scan result offers a full swing trade setup. It gives you a specific amount of time to hold the position. This takes the guesswork out of your trading decisions. You know exactly how long to hold the position.
Get Alerts for New Scan Results
If you pay for our service, then you can enable alerts for any swing trade scans you want. This means you will get alerted each time our screener picks up new scan results. Alerts can be sent by email or text. You can set your preference after you sign up for the service.
Lots of Ways to Filter Stocks
Subscribers can see all swing trade scan results at once and sort by the ones that have the best backtested performance. But we also cater to a variety of different ways to search and filter scan results.
Swing Trading Strategy
Search for stocks that meet the criteria for particular chart patterns, candlestick patterns, or stock indicators. You can also filter stocks for our proprietary trading strategies. These are swing trading strategies that we know have a strong backtested edge.
Historical Performance
Filter swing trade setups by backtested performance, such as a minimum win percentage or annualized return.
Stock Share Price
You can use filters to ensure you only see swing trade setups that are for stocks in your preferred price range.
Market Cap or Industry
Use scan filters to limit your results to companies in particular sectors, or filter scan results by company size.
Get Real-Time Scan Results Before and During Market Hours
Our swing trading scanner looks for trade opportunities both before the market opens (pre-market) and during normal market hours. You'll see new scan results in real time as they occur. This ensures that our scanner caters to a wide audience. For those who have work during the day and can't manage trades when the stock market is open, they can use our pre-market scans to find swing trades that can be administered in pre-market hours before the market opens.
Our Stock Charts Show Trend Lines for Chart Patterns
Each time a scan result comes up for any given chart pattern, you'll be able to see a stock chart that shows the trend lines for the pattern. This helps you visualize the pattern for that stock and might make it easier to decide how to manage a trade based on it.

Learn Swing Trading
Swing trading is where you make trades that last more than one day but are not long term holds. It’s in between day trading and long-term investing. If you are swing trading, you might own a given stock or option for a matter of days or weeks, not years.
Once you sign up for our service, you’ll find tutorials that teach our proprietary swing trading strategies in detail. These are strategies we developed over the course of our research that have a strong backtested edge. Not only will our swing trading scanner help you screen for stocks that meet the criteria of those trading strategies, but our service will also teach you the strategies themselves. Learning swing trading strategies that have an actual track record of success historically might offer a lifetime of value.
