SWING DETECTOR
Structural Swing Points + Fibonacci Retracement + RSI
--------------------------------------------------
FREE INDICATOR
Identify structural swings. See the trend. Trade with confluence.
--------------------------------------------------
WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES
Swing Detector identifies structural swing highs and lows using local extrema detection with configurable depth and auto-deviation filtering.
It then connects swings with trend lines, overlays standard Fibonacci retracement levels, and displays current RSI value near price.
--------------------------------------------------
KEY FEATURES
- Swing point detection (configurable depth)
- AUTO-DEVIATION: ATR-based filtering adapts to any timeframe
- Fixed pip deviation mode (for manual control)
- Swing trend lines (upswing blue, downswing orange)
- FIBONACCI RETRACEMENT (0, 23.6, 38.2, 50, 61.8, 78.6, 100 percent)
- RSI VALUE OVERLAY (current RSI near price)
- Customizable colors
- Performance-optimized (max bars to draw)
--------------------------------------------------
AUTO-DEVIATION - KEY FEATURE
Two deviation modes available:
- FIXED PIPS: Set a fixed minimum pip distance between swings
- ATR-BASED (AUTO): Dynamic deviation based on current volatility
WHY AUTO-DEVIATION MATTERS:
- M1 to M5: Tight deviation (captures small swings)
- H1 to H4: Medium deviation (captures structure)
- D1 to MN1: Wide deviation (captures major swings)
The indicator automatically adapts to the timeframe you are using. No manual adjustment needed when switching charts.
This makes Swing Detector usable across ALL timeframes — from 1-minute to monthly charts.
--------------------------------------------------
FIBONACCI RETRACEMENT - KEY FEATURE
For the last completed swing, the indicator draws:
- 0.0 percent (start of swing)
- 23.6 percent
- 38.2 percent
- 50.0 percent
- 61.8 percent
- 78.6 percent
- 100.0 percent (end of swing)
Toggle lines and labels on/off. All levels are color-coded for quick visual reference.
--------------------------------------------------
RSI OVERLAY - KEY FEATURE
Current RSI value is displayed near price with color coding:
- RED: RSI above 70 (overbought)
- GREEN: RSI below 30 (oversold)
- WHITE: RSI between 30 and 70 (neutral)
This provides immediate momentum context without opening a separate RSI window.
--------------------------------------------------
VISUAL ELEMENTS
- Red down arrows = Swing highs
- Green up arrows = Swing lows
- Blue lines = Upswing (low to high)
- Orange lines = Downswing (high to low)

- White labels = Fibonacci percentages
- RSI value = Current RSI near price
- Info panel = Depth, deviation, backstep, swing count
