Next course: Intermediate — HTF Confirmation
Beginner Explanation
The Scanner is a continuous engine that watches every configured instrument for structural conditions — order blocks, liquidity sweeps, fair value gaps, and premium/discount zones.
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
- Open the Scanner page from the main nav.
- Review the instrument list and note which ones are active.
- Watch how candidate setups appear and mature over time.
- Read the setup classification (retest, break, sweep).
- See how each candidate is passed downstream to HTF Confirmation.
Helpful Tips
- Scanner candidates are not trades — they are opportunities.
- Idle Scanner ≠ broken — it may be waiting for structure.
- The scanner heartbeat should tick every few seconds.
Common Mistakes
- Trading directly from the Scanner without HTF confirmation.
- Assuming missing signals mean the scanner is broken.
- Adding too many instruments and getting distracted.
Best Practices
- Focus on 3–6 instruments during your first month.
- Watch the scanner during high-liquidity sessions (London, New York).
- Compare scanner output with your own chart read to build intuition.
