Floor 1: Structure
Swing Mapper
Swing Mapper is the first ForexLens game and the free preview. You tap the swing highs and swing lows on a simulated chart, then the Lens shows which ones a fixed rule keeps. It teaches you to read swing structure mechanically, two candles on each side, instead of by feel. No account is needed.
No account needed. Simulated prices, play money.
What it teaches
Reading swing structure the way a fixed rule would, not by feel.
- The fractal rule: a swing high is strictly above the two highs before it and the two after it, and a swing low is the mirror image.
- Why equal neighbours make a plateau, not a swing.
- Why a one-candle pullback inside a leg never qualifies.
- Reading swing highs and lows the same way every time, which everything later in the course depends on.
How a round plays
- A simulated candle chart appears with a prompt: tap every swing high, every swing low, or both.
- Tap the tip of each wick you think is a swing. Tap a mark again to remove it. Arrow buttons move the cursor one candle at a time, which helps on a phone.
- Press "Check with the Lens". The Lens shows the swings the rule keeps, rings the ones you missed and rings your marks that are only noise.
- Each wrong mark gets a reason: a neighbour reached further, a neighbour stopped at the same price, or the candle sits too close to the edge to be confirmed.
- A run is six charts and takes about three minutes.
How it is graded
The rule here is a fractal of strength 2: strictly above (or below) the two candles on each side. You are scored on the swings you found against the swings the rule keeps, with extra marks counted against you. Accuracy earns the XP, nothing else.
The honest note
Finding swings consistently is a reading skill and the base of the vocabulary. It says nothing about where price goes next.
