Live futures chart scanner

This scanner watches 16 futures markets (NQ, ES, YM, RTY, MNQ, MES, MYM, M2K, GC, MGC, SI, CL, MCL, NG, 6E and 6J) on six timeframes, from 1 minute to 4 hours, and lists the chart patterns smart-money and ICT traders use: fair value gaps, inverse fair value gaps, order blocks, breaker blocks, liquidity sweeps of session and higher-timeframe levels, candle range theory (CRT), rejection blocks and Fibonacci retracements.

New alerts appear as each candle closes. The public feed shows what was detected, without price levels. Alerts you set up from your account add the zone, the price and what else overlaps it, so you do not have to keep the page open.

What each alert means

Every pattern the scanner detects has its own guide, with chart examples of the bullish and bearish version and the exact rules the scanner uses to decide.

Frequently asked questions

Is the futures chart scanner free?

Yes. The live feed on this page is free and needs no login. Setting up your own alerts is free with a Signal Trade App account.

Which futures markets and timeframes does it scan?

Sixteen markets (NQ, ES, YM, RTY, MNQ, MES, MYM, M2K, GC, MGC, SI, CL, MCL, NG, 6E and 6J) on the 1, 3, 5, 15 minute, 1 hour and 4 hour timeframes.

Which patterns does it detect?

Fair value gaps, inverse fair value gaps, order blocks, breaker blocks, rejection blocks, candle range theory (CRT) sweeps, liquidity sweeps of the previous 1H, 4H, day, Asia and New York session highs and lows, and Fibonacci retracement touches including the 61.8% to 88.8% OTE zone.

Does the scanner repaint?

No. It only evaluates closed candles, so an alert is never withdrawn afterwards. The trade-off is that an alert arrives after the candle that triggered it has closed.

Why does the public feed not show price levels?

The public feed shows what was detected and when. The zone, the price and the other structures overlapping it are included in alerts you set up from your account.

Does an alert tell me to buy or sell?

No. An alert says a pattern was detected, not where price will go. Patterns often fail, so decide your entry, stop and size in your own trading plan. Futures trading involves substantial risk of loss.
