Smart Trend Scanner is a professional-grade indicator for the cTrader platform that automates trend analysis by identifying and visualizing dynamic supply and demand zones as filled cloud channels rather than traditional thin trendlines. Using a "Best-Fit" algorithm, it scans historical price data to detect key swing highs and lows, connecting these pivot points to form mathematically significant support and resistance zones. The indicator validates zones by confirming multiple price touches without significant recent breaks, then draws transparent clouds between the highest wick and lowest body touches to represent true areas of market interest.
Key features include dynamic cloud zones that cover the full price range to reduce false signals, intelligent pivot detection adjustable by sensitivity, stability filters to avoid outdated levels, and real-time alerts for breakouts or retests. Users can customize settings such as lookback period, pivot strength, minimum touches for zone validation, and cloud transparency to suit various trading styles including scalping, day trading, and swing trading.
Smart Trend Scanner supports multiple markets including Forex, commodities, stocks, and cryptocurrencies, with symbol tags like BTCUSD, EURUSD, GBPUSD, XAUUSD, and NAS100. It aims to provide clearer visualization of liquidity zones to assist traders in making informed decisions based on probabilistic support and resistance areas.
