Swing Trade Scanner Setup Grade and Verdict

Grades the stock on your chart as a long swing setup — a 0–100 score, an A+ to D grade, and a plain-English verdict.

You've found a stock. Is it actually a setup? Swing Trade Scanner grades the chart in front of you the way a swing trader reads it — trend, momentum, relative strength, volume — and gives you one honest answer: a score, a grade, and a verdict in plain English.

It works on its own — nothing else required.

Why one score instead of five separate indicators?

Every check in this script exists on its own — but alone, each one whipsaws. What makes a swing setup is confluence: trend, momentum, proximity to highs, relative strength, and volume confirming each other at the same time.
The Scanner's contribution is the weighting and the interaction between the checks: MA alignment counts most because trend is what pays swing traders, and the extension penalty can override an otherwise perfect score — because the same chart that grades well near the fast MA is a bad entry 8% above it. That interaction is what a stack of separate indicators won't show you.

What goes into the score (0–100)

Five checks, each weighted by how much it matters:

MA alignment (up to 35 pts) — is price stacked cleanly above the 4-MA ribbon? A full bull stack (price > fast MA > each slower MA) earns full points.
Momentum (up to 20) — how far price has moved over the lookback (60 bars by default).
Distance from the recent high (up to 20) — leaders sit near their highs; a stock 10% below its high has repair work to do first.
Relative strength vs SPY (up to 15) — is the stock beating the market (SPY = S&P 500 ETF), not just rising with it?
Volume (up to 10) — is it trading above its 20-day average?

Then one guardrail: the extension penalty. More than 6% above the fast MA and the score gets docked (−12 points, −20 past 10%). Chasing a stretched chart is how good setups become bad entries — the Scanner won't grade one highly.

The verdict reads in plain English

HIGH QUALITY (score 75+) — everything lined up.
MODERATE (55–74) — decent, not complete.
WEAK (40–54) — most of the checklist is missing.
AVOID (under 40) — not a long setup right now.
EXTENDED / WAIT — the setup grades well BUT price is stretched more than 6% above the fast MA. Good stock, bad moment. Let it pull in.

What you see on the chart

The 4-MA ribbon — four moving averages (EMA 20 / 50 / 100 / 200 by default; EMA, SMA or WMA), with the zone between the two fastest shaded green in an uptrend, red in a downtrend.
Candle coloring (optional) — green in a full bull stack, teal in a partial one, red in a full bear stack, so the trend state reads at a glance.
The dashboard — grade + score up top, then the four core metrics (MA Alignment, 60-bar Momentum, RS vs SPY, Volume Ratio) and the Verdict row.

Long setups only

This tool grades the long (buy) side. On a downtrending chart it won't invent an opportunity — it shows Full Bear and AVOID and tells you to look elsewhere.

Settings — defaults work out of the box

MA ribbon — four lengths, MA type, and colors.
Lookback (60 bars) — the window for momentum, relative strength, and the recent high.
Volume MA length (20).
Table position, text size, dark/light theme, and status colors.

⚠ Educational tool for reading and grading charts. The grade measures how complete a setup is by these rules — it does not generate buy/sell signals or predict price. Not financial advice.
