Send Swing Trade Signals Telegram
Every 4 hours on weekdays, scans for the top 5 US stock swing trade setups with technical signals, key levels, and market tone — delivered straight to Telegram.
What It Does
Every 4 hours on US market weekdays, this workflow scans the internet for the top 5 active US stock swing trade setups and delivers a structured signal brief to your Telegram. Each setup includes the ticker, current price, setup type (breakout, pullback, reversal, or breakdown), RSI reading, moving average position, volume confirmation, support and resistance levels, trade bias, and any catalyst. It also includes the overall market tone and the hottest sector right now.
Why It Matters
Swing trading requires catching setups as they form — not after they've already moved. A breakout that triggers at 10 AM may be up 8% by 2 PM. By the time a manual scanner finds it, the entry is gone. This workflow checks every 4 hours and sends the setups directly to your Telegram, so the signal finds you instead of you hunting for it.
How It Works
- Scheduled Trigger — Fires every 4 hours on weekdays (
0 */4 * * 1-5), covering pre-market, market open, midday, and close windows. - AI Agent with Internet Search — Searches live financial sources for stocks showing breakout, pullback, reversal, and breakdown technical signals with RSI, moving average, and volume data.
- Telegram Message — Delivers a structured 5-setup brief with all key levels to your chat.
What You Get
Each Telegram message includes:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Ticker & Price | Stock name, symbol, and approximate current price |
| Setup Type | Breakout, Pullback, Reversal, or Breakdown |
| RSI Reading | Overbought (>70), oversold (<30), or neutral |
| 20-Day MA Position | Whether price is above or below the 20-day moving average |
| Volume Confirmation | Whether a recent volume spike is present |
| Support & Resistance | Key price levels for entries and exits |
| Trade Bias | Bullish or Bearish |
| Catalyst | Earnings, sector momentum, or news if applicable |
| Market Tone | Risk-on or risk-off based on SPY and QQQ |
| Hot Sector | Sector showing the strongest momentum right now |
| Watchlist Pick | One stock close to triggering that didn't make the top 5 |
When the market is closed or no clear setups exist, you'll receive a brief fallback message instead.
