Confluence Sniper is a free confluence indicator for MetaTrader 5 that marks an entry only when several independent checks agree on the same closed bar: trend consensus, order block and fair value gap (FVG) context of the kind smart money concepts (SMC) traders watch, currency strength, a session and volatility gate, and a price action trigger. It also settles the one argument every signal tool eventually loses: repainting. Every live signal is written to a local ledger file the instant its bar closes, and the gold arrows on history are replayed from that record, never recomputed; a clearly separate hollow arrow shows the model estimate on older bars, so the two are never confused. The tool only ever appends to that file and never rewrites a past line. Do not take a no repaint claim on faith. Audit this one.
Five engines, one verdict
Each closed bar is judged by five separate checks that each cast a vote. Trend consensus reads a multi model agreement on direction behind an ADX strength gate. Zone context checks whether price is reacting at a fresh order block. Currency strength compares the base and quote baskets. A session and volatility gate keeps signals inside your chosen hours and away from dead or overheated markets. A price action trigger confirms the actual break or engulfing on the bar. A signal prints only when the trigger and enough engines align, and each one is graded A, B, or C so you can see at a glance how much agreement stands behind it. The grade counts how many checks agreed on that bar; it is not a win rate and not a probability.
The ledger is the product
Live signals are recorded, and the panel reports exactly how many are on record. Point at the ledger seal to read the recent fires straight from the file, with the file path shown so you can open the raw record yourself in any text editor. This is not a screenshot you have to trust. It is a receipt. In the only setting we have measured so far, a four-week Strategy Tester run on a gold M15 chart with the default inputs, each of the ten arrows first appeared once its bar had closed, none was moved or removed later, and attaching the indicator again drew the ten arrows on the same bars at the same prices.
Read it at a glance, or drill in
The panel stays visual. One stance line tells you the current lean, a row of engine chips shows which methods agree, and a gold arrow marks a live fire. Point at any element and a card opens with the numbers behind it, so a newer trader gets a clean picture while an experienced one gets the detail. Drag the header to move the panel, use the on panel size button to scale it, and collapse it to a single bar when you want the chart back. Every input and every row of the panel is explained in the user guide on the author's blog: Confluence Sniper user guide
What it does not do
It makes no win rate promise and shows no invented statistics. It reports what the engines see and what actually fired, and it leaves the decision to you. Confluence Sniper also sits at the center of a family of focused tools, so when one engine earns your attention, the dedicated indicator for it goes deeper.
