Confluence Detector EA

The Confluence Detector EA is a highly advanced, institutional-grade market scanner designed to uncover high-probability trading zones through the power of multi-factor confluence. Built for traders who demand precision, it mathematically identifies areas where multiple technical concepts overlap, such as Fibonacci Retracements, Previous Day Highs and Lows, Session VWAP, and Order Blocks.

Rather than relying on single lagging indicators, the Confluence Detector EA scans multiple timeframes simultaneously, assigning weights to different market structures to score Zones of Interest. When a zone achieves an elite score, you are alerted or the EA can automatically execute the trade with robust risk management controls.
