Swing Trading
Multi-indicator confluence on H4 and D1 timeframes, rule-based market summaries with trend bias, and historical data for backtesting your swing strategies.
The Challenge
Swing traders hold positions for days to weeks. You need reliable H4 and D1 indicators, the ability to confirm setups with multiple indicators simultaneously, and a way to quickly assess overall market sentiment. Manually checking RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, and ADX across a watchlist of 20+ pairs is tedious and error-prone — and calculating these indicators yourself introduces implementation bugs that can cost real money.
How TickAtlas Solves It
H4/D1 Indicator Suite
All 42 indicators on H4 and D1 timeframes. EMA crossovers, RSI divergence, MACD histogram shifts — all pre-calculated.
Multi-Indicator Confluence
Fetch RSI + MACD + ADX + Bollinger Bands in a single /v1/multi call. Confirm setups with 3-4 indicator agreement.
Market Summary
/v1/summary gives you a natural-language market assessment with bullish/bearish bias and confidence percentage.
Historical Data for Backtesting
Up to 1000 candles of historical OHLCV and indicator values. Test your swing strategy against real data before going live.
