Step 10 — Find Advance AI Scanner in the Navigator

2. Click Inputs. This is where every setting of the scanner lives.
3. Each line is one setting. The left column is the name, the right column is the value. Double-click a value to change it.
4. Great news: the default settings are already tuned for you. For your first start, simply click OK.

Step 13 — The inputs you may like to change

As you grow, these are the inputs traders like to adjust:

Instruments to scan	Auto-discover	Finds forex, metals, energy, indices and crypto at your broker. You can also choose Symbols in Market Watch or a Custom list (type the symbols in "Custom list", separated by commas).
Maximum instruments	40	How many markets the scanner watches. Use 25 for a lighter load on a smaller computer.
Signal timeframe	1 Hour	15 Minutes for fast intraday trading, 4 Hours for swing trading.
Probability needed for BUY/SELL	0.57	A higher number gives fewer, stronger signals. 0.57 is a great start.

2. When the line at the bottom says 40/40 live, everything is ready.
3. The clock at the top shows the time and the sessions that are open now.

🎉 Fantastic! Advance AI Scanner is installed and running.

2. Click Properties.

PART 5 — 🔍 How to Analyse a Market: the 5-Check Method

Do these 5 checks in this order, every time. It takes about one minute per market, and it quickly becomes a habit.

#	Check	Where	✅ Green light	⏳ Wait when you see
1	Score and signal	Scanner page	Score 70+ and STRONG BUY / STRONG SELL	NEUTRAL, or a score still under 50
2	Verdict	Symbol window → VERDICT	Timeframes and pattern memory agree, structure confirms	Daily range used over 100%: wait for a pullback
3	Why it moved	WHY IT MOVED + AI BRAIN	A clear reason, clear swing levels for your stop	Drivers pulling in different directions
4	Volume and breakout	VOLUME & BREAKOUT	Relative volume 1.0+, BRK or RETEST in your direction	TRAP, or volume drying up
5	News	NEWS IMPACT	A calm news window for the next 30 minutes	Big news close by: enter after it

Check 1 — Score and signal: find the best candidates

Start on the Scanner page, sorted by Score. The best setups are on top.

1. EURJPY: STRONG SELL, score 78. Score 70+ with a STRONG signal = a top candidate. Open it.
2. AUDJPY: NEUTRAL, score 50. The AI is still collecting evidence (under 57%). Keep it on your watchlist.
3. GBPCAD: BUY 64%, score 44. Still developing. It gets interesting when the timeframes and the volume join in.

What the signals mean:

STRONG BUY / STRONG SELL	The AI is at least 57% sure, it is confident, and the timeframes agree. The best signals.
BUY / SELL	The AI is at least 57% sure about the direction of the next 8 bars, and the timeframes are still lining up.
NEUTRAL	Under 57%. The AI is still collecting evidence. Watch it and focus on the strong ones.

What the score means:

70 – 100	Strong setup. Go on with checks 2–5.
50 – 69	Normal setup. Keep it on your watchlist.
0 – 49	Still building. Let it grow, and look at the stronger markets first.

How the score is made: how sure the AI is (34%), how many timeframes agree (18%), volume (14%), breakout quality (12%), market state (12%) and how accurate the model has been (10%). Close to high-impact news the score is reduced by 20%, to help your timing.

The market state chips:

TREND ▲ / TREND ▼	A clean trend up or down. Trade in the trend direction.
RANGE	Price moves sideways. The edges of the range are the best zones.
SQUEEZE	Price is very quiet. A big move may come soon.
VOLATILE	Big candles. Use a wider stop and a smaller size.
MIXED	The market is still choosing a direction. Let it decide first.
COIL	A box is building. Get ready for the breakout.
BRK ▲ / BRK ▼	Price just broke out of the box, up or down.
RETEST ▲ / RETEST ▼	Price came back to test the broken line. Often a calm entry zone.
TRAP ▲ / TRAP ▼	The breakout reversed. The scanner spots it for you, so you can wait for the next clean setup.

Check 2 — Verdict: does everything agree?

Click the market. The big window opens on the VERDICT page.

1. AI confidence: here 72% bearish for the next 8 bars.
2. Model accuracy: how often the AI was right on fresh bars, outside its training. 52–58% is a healthy, realistic level for markets.
3. Pattern memory: of the 30 most similar setups in the past, 73% went down.
4. Trend on every timeframe: M15, H1, H4 and D1. When all four point the same way, the setup is much stronger.
5. Relative volume: above 1.0 = more activity than normal for this hour.
6. Market structure: BREAK ▼ = price just broke a swing low. This confirms the sell.
7. Daily range used: 196% = the market already travelled almost two normal days. The smart move: wait for a pullback and enter at a better price.

Check 3 — Why It Moved and AI Brain: the reason and the levels

Click WHY IT MOVED. The AI explains the move in plain English.

1. What happened: the size of the move and the decisive candle.
2. Why it happened: here the yen got stronger against all currencies, so the real driver is the yen.
3. Pattern memory: the average follow-through of similar setups (here about 56 pips). This helps you set a target.
4. Levels & risk: swing high, swing low, previous day high/low and ATR. Use them to place your stop loss.
5. News ahead: read this line before every trade.

Then click AI BRAIN. It shows what pushes the AI to buy or to sell:

1. Neural flow: 14 market features feed 5 ideas (trend, momentum, volume, structure, reversion) that vote BUY or SELL.
2. What drives the decision: red bars push SELL, green bars push BUY. A longer bar is a stronger push.
3. In plain words: the reasons in simple English.

When most of the big bars point the same way, the signal is cleaner.

Check 4 — Volume and breakout

Click VOLUME & BREAKOUT.

1. Buyers vs sellers over the last 10 bars.
2. Relative volume: 1.54× = 54% more activity than normal for this hour.
3. Cumulative delta: buy pressure minus sell pressure. A falling line = sellers are in control.
4. Breakout map: the box where price was resting, with the upper and lower trigger lines.
5. State and quality: here BRK ▼ with quality 62/100. The text below tells you how often this kind of breakout followed through in the past on this market.

Good to know: forex volume in MetaTrader is tick volume (activity). Buying and selling pressure is estimated from the candle shape.

Check 5 — News: is big news coming?

Click NEWS IMPACT.

1. XAUUSD: NEUTRAL, score 38.
2. Initial Jobless Claims: gold usually moves $8.92–$16.11 in the first 15 minutes after this news, and up to $24.6 in an extreme case.
3. The news is less than 6 minutes away.
4. Biggest news movers: the news that moves this market the most.

Click any news event for the full forecast:

1. The countdown to the release.
2. The actual, forecast and previous value.
3. Expected move for every linked market: typical 15 minutes, extreme, typical 1 hour, and how often price rose after a better (beat) or worse (miss) result.
4. Reaction history: every past release. Green bar = price went up, red bar = price went down.

💡 Tip: from 30 minutes before until 15 minutes after a high-impact news release, the AI score is reduced by 20%. This helps you time your entry. Best timing: open new trades after high-impact news is out. Use the "extreme" number to see how far price can travel.

Extra confirmation: Strength and Sessions

• Currency Strength: the best trades are usually a strong currency against a weak one. In our example JPY was the strongest currency, which supports the EURJPY sell.
• Sessions: trade in the most active hours of your market for the cleanest breakouts.

PART 6 — 🎯 Make Your Trade Decision

The 6-question checklist

Before every trade, answer these 6 questions:

1	Is the score 70 or more, with a STRONG BUY or STRONG SELL?
2	Do the timeframes and the pattern memory agree?
3	Is the daily range used under 100%, so the move is still fresh?
4	Is the volume normal or high, with a clean breakout?
5	Is the news window calm for the next 30 minutes?
6	Can you place your stop loss behind the swing level (from Levels & risk) and risk just 1–2% of your account?

• All 6 are yes: a high-quality setup. Take it with confidence.
• Still waiting on one? Be patient. With 40 markets on your scanner, the next great setup is always on its way.

How to plan the trade with the panel

• Direction: trade in the direction of the STRONG signal and the timeframe trend.
• Entry: when "daily range used" is high, wait for a pullback. After a breakout, a RETEST of the broken line is often a calm entry.
• Stop loss: behind the swing high (for a sell) or swing low (for a buy) shown in Why It Moved → Levels & risk.
• First target: the average follow-through from Pattern memory.
• Timing: after high-impact news, and in the most active hours.

Example 1 — EURJPY: strong sell, wait for a better price

1. STRONG SELL, score 78.
2. All four timeframes: STRONG DOWN.
3. Pattern memory: 73% down, average move about 56 pips.
4. Daily range used is 196%: price has already travelled far today.

Decision: the direction is clear: we focus on sells. Wait for a pullback, then sell at a better price. Place the stop loss above the swing high from Why It Moved. As a first target, use the average move from pattern memory. Japanese inflation data was due later that day, so the best entry comes after it.

Example 2 — XAUUSD: news in 6 minutes, so we wait

1. NEUTRAL, with a score of 38: the AI is still collecting evidence.
2. High-impact USD news in less than 6 minutes.

Decision: let the news come out first, then check again. Patience is a real trading skill, and the best traders use it every day.

Example 3 — CHFJPY: breakout down, wait for the retest

1. SELL 64%, score 64: a normal setup.
2. Price broke down out of a 43-bar box with 1.5× normal volume.
3. Quality 62/100, and in the past this kind of breakout followed through about 50% of the time.

Decision: wait for a retest. When price comes back up to the lower line (191.317) and turns down there, a sell is possible with the stop loss back inside the box. If price moves back into the box, simply wait for the next setup.

📈 Chart Drawings

On the chart of the current symbol, the scanner also draws (choose each one in the Chart overlay inputs):

• Breakout boxes with dotted trigger lines above and below.
• BSL / SSL lines: the last swing high and swing low, where stops usually rest. PDH / PDL: previous day high and low.
• A » 2.9× ATR marker on big candles. Move your mouse over it to read what happened and why.
• Vertical news lines with the expected-move zone before the release.
• A volume profile with POC, VAH and VAL.

Tip: click — on the panel to make it small and enjoy the drawings.

🔔 Alerts

• Popup and sound alerts are on from the start: when a market reaches a score of 72, when a breakout is confirmed, and 15 minutes before high-impact news.
• Alerts on your phone: install the MetaTrader 5 app on your phone and find your MetaQuotes ID in the app's Settings (in the messages section). On your computer, open Tools → Options → Notifications, tick Enable Push notifications, type your MetaQuotes ID and click OK. Then set Push notifications = true in the indicator's Inputs (Steps 15–16).

🔄 Updates and Your Other Computers

• Updates: when a new version comes out, open the Market in MetaTrader 5, click Purchased, and click Update next to Advance AI Scanner.
• Your other computers: a purchase comes with 15 activations. On another computer, do Steps 3–6 again (connect your MQL5 account, open the Market, click Install).

💡 Good to Know

• You stay in control. The indicator analyses, and you make every trading decision. It runs on your own computer, so a VPS is optional. Keep MetaTrader 5 open while you analyse.
• Closed-bar signals. Signals use closed bars, so they stay fixed once the bar closes. Live values (price, live volume) are marked as live.
• Accuracy of 52–58% is healthy. Combine the score, the verdict, volume and news for the clearest picture.
• Deeper news history: in MetaTrader 5, open Tools → Options → Charts and set Max bars in chart to Unlimited.
• Practise on a demo account first. In a few days you will read the panel like a pro.
