What is PipSwipe?
A chart pattern scanner for 92 markets: forex, gold, indices, crypto and the 50 most popular US shares. Swipe the trading chart patterns it finds, build your own scans and practise on real charts.
What's on each card, and why does it matter?
Each card is one market on one timeframe where the rules found a pattern and two indicators agreed. You see the pattern and whether it's bullish or bearish, the chart with the levels it's reacting to, a confluence score (how many of five more checks agree), whether the bigger trend backs it, and the live price. 92 markets across 6 timeframes is 402 charts: PipSwipe reads them all and hands you what each chart is doing, and how much evidence is behind it, in five seconds a card. You spend your time deciding, not searching.
Does PipSwipe tell me what to trade?
No. It shows what its rules find on the chart. It never says buy or sell and never places trades. General information only, not financial advice.
Which markets and timeframes?
92 markets: forex, gold, silver, oil, the Nasdaq 100, the Dow, Bitcoin, Ethereum and the 50 most popular US shares. Six timeframes, from 1-minute to weekly (US shares on 1H, 4H and Daily).
Which US shares are covered?
Only the top 50 most popular US shares, among them Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Tesla, Netflix, Palantir, JPMorgan and Visa. They are scanned on the 1H, 4H and Daily charts, since US shares trade only about 6.5 hours a day. Smaller US companies and shares from other countries aren't covered yet.
Which chart patterns does it find?
Flags and pennants, ascending, descending and symmetrical triangles, rising and falling wedges, rising and falling channels, head and shoulders (and inverse), and double tops and bottoms, plus breakouts, pullbacks, trends, ranges and stretches from the average. A pattern only shows once it has completed (price closed through its line), and it's drawn on the chart so you can see exactly what the scanner saw.
How long does a pattern stay valid?
Until the chart says otherwise. PipSwipe re-checks every chart every few minutes and on each new candle close (every 4 hours on a 4H chart). A card leaves the feed when the pattern is no longer found, or within a minute if price breaks the level the pattern depends on or reaches the level it pointed to. Until then, the Now line shows how far price has moved since the scan, with a “Price has moved” tag once that’s more than one average candle.
What if price moves against a pattern?
A pattern is a condition, not a promise, and many move against themselves first. If price breaks the level a pattern depends on, the pattern no longer exists: its card leaves the feed and your watchlist marks it “No longer valid”. PipSwipe never says hold, exit or reverse; that’s your call. Deciding in advance what would prove your idea wrong, and how much you’d risk, is part of your own plan, and Plan it yourself and School help you practise it.
What's the confluence score?
Every pattern passes two indicator checks to appear. The score counts five more that agree with it, from 0/5 to 5/5.
What are key levels?
The nearest support below and resistance above the price on every card: where price has turned or paused before. PipSwipe finds them the same way on every chart, whichever way the pattern points, from swing highs and lows, yesterday's or last week's range, the recent 20-candle range, Fibonacci levels and round numbers. Each one says why it's a level (for example Swing high ×3) and how far price is from it, next to the size of a typical candle. They describe the chart; they're not entries or exits. Tap a level in Plan it yourself to use it as your own stop or target and see the risk-to-reward.
Can I build my own scanner?
Yes, and it's the fastest way to use PipSwipe. Tell My scans what you look for, like a pullback in an uptrend on the 4H or a bearish candle at resistance, and it checks 402 charts every few minutes. Open it to see what matches your rules right now, plus the charts one rule away: tomorrow's watchlist. A two-minute morning routine, and only the charts that meet your criteria.
What is the School course?
Ten units of short lessons that teach chart reading step by step, about 3 minutes each: reading a chart; support, resistance and ranges; moving averages and trends; breakouts; pullbacks and Fibonacci; flags, pennants and triangles; doubles, head and shoulders and wedges; indicators; confluence and the bigger picture; and discipline. You pick the chart that shows a pattern, tap the breakout candle, match terms to their meanings and answer quick questions, with an explanation every time. Earn XP, set a daily goal, keep your streak, and turn on a daily reminder if you like. All ten units are free. It's education, not trade ideas.
How does Practice work?
A flight simulator for reading charts, in School next to the course. Each practice lesson is a real chart from the last few days, stopped where a pattern appeared. Check the clues (the bigger chart's trend and the score), call up, down or sideways, then see what happened and the key lesson. Lessons come in tracks: breakouts, pullbacks, trends, ranges and reversals, and the app shows your blind spot so you know what to practise. Three minutes a day builds the pattern recognition that usually takes years of screen time, without risking a cent.
How does paper trading work?
Plan a forex or gold trade with your own entry, stop and target (Plan it yourself), pick your lot size and tap Paper trade this plan. PipSwipe follows it on live prices every minute: it waits for your entry, then runs until your stop or your target is reached. Each paper trade has its own $5,000 practice balance at 1:500 leverage, and the result shows in your watchlist, for example $5,000 → $5,820. The broker's spread isn't included, and practice results don't predict real trading. PipSwipe never chooses the levels for you.
Where do the prices come from?
A live market-data feed, updated every few minutes. They can differ slightly from your broker's.
What is the watch bot?
A helper that watches your watchlist so you don't have to. Switch it on from the watchlist and it follows every pattern you saved on live prices, every minute, even with the app closed. It sends a phone notification when a watched pattern plays out, stops being valid or runs out of time. Ultra adds early moves (price moving its way or against it), price reaching a support or resistance level, new matches on your own scan, and two watched markets that move as one (so your watchlist doubles up). Each change is announced once, up to 30 a day. It describes what price did; it never says buy or sell.
What's in Ultra?
The watch bot's early warnings, price alerts sent to your phone, a correlation view that flags watched markets moving as one, the day's top patterns (with an optional 7:00 notification), a session filter for Asia, London and New York, and the AI trade coach for your MetaTrader history (best on desktop, where MetaTrader exports the report). It's included free for everyone who signs in.
How do phone notifications work?
PipSwipe uses your browser's notifications, so there's nothing to install. On Android and computers, tap Turn on notifications. On iPhone, add PipSwipe to your Home Screen first (iOS 16.4 or later). Notifications describe prices; they never say buy or sell.
Is it free?
Yes. While PipSwipe grows, every feature is free for everyone who signs in: no card, no trial. Tools that cost us per use (the AI coach, alerts and paper trades) have fair daily limits, and everyone who joins by the end of June 2027 is an early member.
Do I need to download anything?
No. PipSwipe runs in your phone's browser. Add it to your home screen and it opens like an app.
