Trend Dashboard Pro MTF Scanner with Alerts

Trend Dashboard PRO watches every symbol on your list across up to six timeframes and alerts you by popup, sound, push or e-mail when one of them lines up for a LONG or SHORT entry on a closed bar. Click the signal card and that pair opens on your trading timeframe, so you go from the alert to the chart in one click. The list button next to the bell shows what fired in this session and whether each push and e-mail went through, so you can check what you missed while you were away.

Why PRO (vs a single moving average)

PRO does not trust one lagging indicator. Each symbol and timeframe is scored by up to five trend conditions that each cast a vote on direction: EMA cross (fast vs slow), EMA slope (is the fast EMA rising or falling), ADX / DI (+DI vs -DI), MACD (main vs signal), and, when you switch it on, price versus EMA (off by default). You set the net vote margin (ups minus downs) required before a direction is shown; with the four conditions that are on by default each casting an up or down vote, that margin is always even, so 1 and 2 behave alike and 3 or 4 means all four have to agree. A cell whose ADX is below the threshold reads flat whatever the votes say. These are readings of the same price series, not independent sources, so treat the vote count as a strictness setting rather than a probability; a higher threshold shows fewer directions, and whether that suits your market is something to check on your own charts.

Alerts (no repaint)

Get notified the instant a trade lines up, by popup, sound, push to your phone, and email. Alerts are judged on closed-bar data by default and fire only on a real state change, so you are not spammed. Choose alerts on new setups, on a bias flip, or both. Alerts keep being checked while the panel is minimised, for every symbol on the list. A symbol whose data is still loading raises no alert until it is ready.

Alert delivery and the alert list

Alerts raised in the same refresh are sent as one push notification and one e-mail, kept inside the MQL5 sending limit (2 per second, 10 per minute). A message held back by the limit waits and goes out at the next free slot; a send that fails is not retried, and its error number is kept. The popup shows one line per alert, up to five per refresh, and the sound plays once. The list button next to the bell opens the alerts of this session, newest first, with the result of each push and e-mail (ok, queued, or the MetaTrader error number); hover a row for the closed bar, the higher-timeframe readings and the delivery times. The list is kept in memory only, so it starts empty after the indicator is reloaded or the terminal restarts. Every alert and every send is also written to the Experts log, so a delivery can be checked afterwards.

Click to switch

Click any cell to jump the chart to that symbol and timeframe. Click the LONG or SHORT signal card to open that pair on your trading timeframe, so you go from alert to chart in one click.

Currency strength

A built-in currency-strength row scores the currencies behind the pairs on your symbol list, so you can see which currency is being bought and which is being sold, sorted strongest to weakest; with the default list that is six of the eight majors.

Works on any broker (automatically)

Brokers name the same instrument differently, such as GOLD, XAUUSD or XAUUSD.m, and add suffixes like # or .m for ECN, raw-spread or Kiwami accounts. PRO scans your broker's real symbol list and automatically selects the best-matching symbol for your account, preferring one that is tradeable, with no manual setup. It includes name aliases for metals, indices (US30, NAS100, SPX500, GER40, UK100, JP225) and oil. If a symbol truly is not offered, the panel tells you instead of silently hiding it.

Market Watch mode

By default the rows still come from the Symbols input. Set Where the rows come from (Symbol source group) to SRC_MARKET_WATCH and the panel lists the symbols selected in Market Watch, in that order and under the broker's exact names, so EURUSD and EURUSD# stay two rows, with no renaming, merging or automatic matching. It re-reads Market Watch about every five seconds, picking up what you add or remove; the reload button does it at once. A status line counts the ready, loading, partial and no-data rows on the page shown; a loading row shows a loading mark and gives no advice or alert until its data is in.

Rows that do not fit the chart are split into pages; every symbol is recalculated and checked for alerts on each refresh, on screen or not, so a longer list is more work for the terminal. Market Watch mode takes up to 100 symbols by default; set Market Watch: max rows to take up to 300 (the status line counts those left out, and they are not checked for alerts). Each symbol keeps its own history, so memory grows with the list: in our test the terminal used about 2 GB at 100 symbols with default chart settings, and a long list takes time to fill in, roughly a minute for every 100 symbols.

Auditable engine

Switch on the diagnostic log and every cell that has data prints exactly why it decided, once per new closed bar: each model's raw value, its vote, the ADX reading and the final verdict. It is not a black box, so you can verify every signal yourself.

Top-down trade advice

Pick the timeframe you actually trade. The panel splits timeframes into bias (higher timeframes that define direction) and timing (your timeframe, used to enter). It suggests trades in the direction of the higher-timeframe bias and tells you whether to enter now or wait for a pullback. When none of the higher timeframes shows a direction, the card changes shape instead: a dark outlined card marked M15 only (your trading timeframe), not counted as enter now and raising no alert, with the reason shown on hover. When your trading timeframe is the top column, the advice rests on it as before.

What you get

A four-condition vote (five with price-versus-EMA switched on) with an adjustable threshold. Multi-channel alerts (popup, sound, push, email, no repaint) with one-click mute. Click a cell to switch chart, or click the signal to open that pair. A currency-strength row built from the pairs on your list. Automatic broker and account adaptation that finds the best-matching symbol for you, preferring a tradeable one. Direction shown as color and strength as an ADX-driven bar. Any symbols, and any subset of six timeframes (M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, D1). An optional per-signal diagnostic log for auditability. A clean panel you can drag, resize (S, M, L, XL), snap to any corner, minimize, and it remembers its position. Bilingual English and Japanese, lightweight, with no DLLs.

How to use

Drop it on any chart, set your symbols and your trading timeframe (or load a preset), then trade in the direction the bias shows and act when the alert fires.

This is a decision-support tool, not an automated system; it does not place trades.

Switching from the free edition

Moving from the free Trend Dashboard to PRO takes three steps: note the inputs you changed in the free edition, remove it from the chart, then attach PRO and set them again. Nothing is carried over from the free edition. PRO does not read its saved panel position, size or trading-timeframe choice, and the terminal keeps the inputs of each indicator separately, so PRO starts from its own defaults. Every input of the free edition exists in PRO under the same name and with the same default, except that M30 is shown by default in PRO, so you re-enter only what you changed: your symbols, your trading timeframe and your trend periods. PRO decides direction by a vote of four conditions by default instead of one pair of moving averages, so some cells can read differently from the free panel. The two editions use separate saved settings and chart objects and can run on the same chart; since both start in the top-right corner, give one of them another start corner first. PRO's alerts are on by default, with push and e-mail off.

Shared foundation

Trend Dashboard PRO builds on the free Trend Dashboard MTF panel, whose listing is public on this Market. PRO adds the four-condition vote, multi-channel alerts, currency strength, and broker-wide symbol detection on top of that same free foundation. Every input and every row of the panel is explained in the user guide on the author's blog: Trend Dashboard user guide
