FIELD: Full description
What this product is
Signal Days Pro is a two-indicator suite built on a higher time frame daily close methodology. Every detection rule, scoring weight, and directional bias follows a structured framework built around one core principle: the highest probability trades come from daily signal days that align with monthly and weekly closing price extremes.
The suite includes a multi-instrument panel scanner and an on-chart signal marker. Both tools run identical detection logic so every signal on your chart matches every signal in your scanner. No discrepancies, no interpretation gaps.
The core problem this solves
A proper pre-market routine using this methodology requires you to track multiple instruments daily, identify which are at monthly or weekly extremes, and then assess whether the current daily signal day aligns with that higher time frame context. Done manually across 10–14 pairs, this takes 30–45 minutes every morning — and it is easy to miss the one pair that is actually setting up cleanly.
Signal Days Pro does that entire scan in under 60 seconds and ranks every signal by quality score so you know exactly where to focus first.
Signal days detected
| Signal | Concept | Boost score |
|---|---|---|
| 3HC / 3LC | Three higher / lower closes — market bursting to a new extreme close | +5 |
| FRD / FGD | First red / green day — primary execution signal day | +4 |
| Inside Day | Range compression — market coiling before directional expansion | +3 |
| CIB UP / DN | Close in breakout — market closed beyond prior bar's range | +2 |
Extreme levels detected
| Level | Definition | Base score |
|---|---|---|
| HCOM / LCOM | Highest / lowest close of the calendar month | +5 |
| HOW / LOW | High / low of the week (5-bar bidirectional window) | +3 |
| H3D / L3D | 3-day high / low (bidirectional window) | +1 |
The scoring system
Every signal is scored out of 10 and displayed as a 5-block strength meter. The score combines four components:
- HTF extreme base score (HCOM/LCOM = 5, HOW/LOW = 3, H3D/L3D = 1)
- Signal type boost (3HC/3LC highest, FRD/FGD second)
- Direction-extreme alignment bonus (+2 for aligned, −2 for misaligned)
- Wednesday signal day bonus (+1 — the midpoint signal day in the weekly template)
A 3HC signal at the HCOM on a Wednesday with a SELL direction scores 5+5+2+1 = 13, capped at 10 — maximum confidence. The same 3HC with no extreme context scores 5+0+0+0 = 5. The scoring system forces you to focus only on the setups where everything is aligned.
Direction logic — not guesswork
Every signal's directional bias is derived from its higher time frame extreme context, not hardcoded defaults. The framework is simple: sell from the highest closing price, buy from the lowest.
- FRD is always SELL. FGD is always BUY. They are the reversal signal — direction is unconditional.
- 3HC, Inside Day, CIB: direction is SELL at any high extreme (HCOM / HOW / H3D)
- 3HC, Inside Day, CIB: direction is BUY at any low extreme (LCOM / LOW / L3D)
- No extreme context = WATCH. The tool will not assign a direction where the HTF context does not support one.
Misaligned signals — where the signal direction contradicts the extreme — are penalised −2 in scoring and flagged visually so you never accidentally trade counter to your higher time frame context.
Calendar-accurate monthly extremes
HCOM and LCOM use true calendar month boundaries — not a rolling bar count approximation. The indicator walks both backward and forward from the signal bar within the same calendar month to determine whether that close is genuinely the highest or lowest of the month. This is the only accurate way to detect these levels. Rolling window approximations produce wrong results at month boundaries — exactly when these setups matter most.
Weekly template awareness
Every signal is tagged with its position in the weekly structure. Frontside (weeks 1–2) and Backside (weeks 3–4) phase is shown in the panel alongside the day of week. Wednesday signals — the midpoint signal day where the weekly template resets — are highlighted with a dedicated colour and ★ marker in both indicators.
The FDTM (First Day of Trading Month) is flagged on signals that fall on the opening bar of a new month — the bar that establishes the new month's opening range and sets the directional bias for the weeks ahead.

- Fully configurable colours, font size, label content, and horizontal time offset
What is not included — and why
This product does not include LHF signals, Monday Opening Range breaks, or Initial Balance breaks. These were excluded because they depend on intra-day timeframe data, not daily closes. This is a daily-close-based scanner. Including intraday-dependent signals would produce methodologically inconsistent scoring and mislead you about setup quality. Every signal included can be detected cleanly and accurately from D1 closing data alone.
The EMA coil confirmation is also not included — by design. It is an execution-level filter that belongs on your chart, not in a scanner. Apply it manually before entering any setup flagged by this tool.
Who this is for
- Price action traders who build a daily watchlist using monthly and weekly closing price extremes
- Traders who use daily signal days — FRD, FGD, Inside Day, 3HC/3LC — as session entry triggers
- Anyone running a structured pre-market routine across multiple instruments who wants that scan automated and ranked
This is not suitable for scalpers or traders who do not follow a daily-close-based framework. This is a signal identification and ranking tool, not an automated trading system or EA.
Platform requirements
- MetaTrader 4 (MT4) only . MT5 version coming soon!
- Requires D1 bars for all scanned symbols — ensure your broker provides full D1 history

FAQ
Q: Does this work on MT5? No. Both indicators are written for MT4 in MQL4. An MT5 port is not currently available.
Q: Does this repaint? No. All signals are detected on closed D1 bars only (bar index 1 and higher). The live bar is never used as a signal source. Once a signal appears on a closed bar it will not change or disappear.
Q: Will the signals match a daily close price action methodology? Yes. HCOM and LCOM use true calendar month boundaries. Signal direction is derived from HTF extreme context — sell from the highest closing price, buy from the lowest. The scoring system rewards the highest-confluence setups: a 3HC/3LC at HCOM/LCOM on a Wednesday is the top-scoring configuration possible.
Q: What pairs are scanned by default? Forex: GBPUSD, GBPCAD, GBPAUD, GBPJPY, GBPCHF. Indices: US30, NAS100, US500, GER40. Commodities: XTIUSD, XAGUSD, XAUUSD, XNGUSD. You can add any additional pairs via the custom pairs input or enable full Market Watch scanning capped at 75 symbols.
Q: Can I use just the scanner without the on-chart indicator? Yes. Both indicators operate independently. Use either one alone or both together on the same chart.
Q: Why is the score capped at 10 when the maximum raw score is 13? The cap prevents a single perfect setup from appearing disproportionately dominant. A score of 10 means maximum confidence regardless of how many bonus conditions were met. The raw uncapped score is available in the CSV export.
How Signal Days Pro works with the scanner panel as a combined workflow
Here is how the two tools work together as a single pre-market and intra-session system.
Step 1 — Pre-market: run the scanner panel
Before your session opens, attach the scanner panel to any chart. It scans all 14 default instruments simultaneously and ranks every signal by strength score. In 60 seconds you have a prioritised list. You are looking for anything scoring 6 or higher — that means at least a HOW/LOW extreme plus a solid signal type plus alignment. A score of 8–10 means HCOM/LCOM is involved and everything is pointing the same direction.
The scanner tells you which instruments deserve your attention today. Everything else you ignore.
Step 2 — Drill down: open the chart
Click the symbol name directly in the scanner panel. It opens that instrument on H1 automatically. Switch to D1 to see the on-chart indicator. The signal arrow is already there, positioned on the exact signal bar, with the extreme dot-line drawn at the closing price level, the strength meter, the phase label showing whether you are in Frontside or Backside of the month, and the Wednesday ★ marker if applicable.
You are now looking at the same signal the scanner flagged — confirmed visually on the chart with all context rendered. There is no translation step, no re-reading the scanner output, no second-guessing. What the scanner found is what the chart shows.
Step 3 — Confirm the coil
This is the step you do manually and the tool intentionally does not do for you. Switch to your lower timeframe — 5 minute or 15 minute depending on your session. Check whether the EMAs are coiling at or near the closing price level shown by the dot-line. If they are tightening, all timeframes are compressing toward the same price level, and the potential energy for an ACB move is building. If they are spread and trending, the setup is not ready yet. Watch and wait.
The scanner's dot-line on the D1 chart gives you the exact price level to watch for the coil to form around. This is where the two tools connect directly to your execution process.
Step 4 — Intra-session: live breakout awareness
The scanner panel runs a live update every 60 seconds during your session refreshing LIVE BO signals for today's bars. If a liquidity sweep develops and the M5 confirms with three closes back below the prior high or above the prior low, the scanner flags it. You do not need to watch every chart — the panel alerts you.
Step 5 — End of day: CSV review
Export the CSV at end of day. Every signal that fired, its score, its alignment bonus, its raw strength, and whether it was an FDTM are all logged. Over weeks this becomes a performance dataset. You will start to see which score thresholds produce the cleanest moves, which instruments repeat the best setups, and which days of the week the highest-scoring signals tend to cluster. That data makes you a better trader independent of any single trade.
The combined system in one sentence: the scanner finds it, the on-chart indicator confirms it visually, the coil check on the lower timeframe tells you it is ready, and the CSV builds the evidence base that sharpens your edge over time.
