POI Detector – Automatic Smart Money Points of Interest (POI) Structure Identifier
The POI Detector is a MetaTrader 5 indicator developed for traders who use Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Price Action methodologies. It automates the identification of relevant Points of Interest (POIs) on the chart through strict detection of the ABCD pattern with growing legs and C-Level breakout confirmation (DE extension).
🔑 Key Features
-
ABCD Pattern Detection Algorithm: Identifies complete structures where AB < BC < CD, ensuring the selection of high-probability patterns.
-
Confirmation by C Breakout (DE Extension): Validates the POI zone only when price extends the DE leg beyond Level C.
-
Automatic Supply & Demand Zones: Draws bounding boxes and key level lines directly on the chart for easy decision-making.
-
Price Source Flexibility: Allows switching analysis between Candle Bodies (Open/Close) or Wicks/Extremes (High/Low).
-
On-Screen Dashboard (HUD): Displays real-time status of points A, B, C, D, individual leg sizes, and breakout confirmation without cluttering the chart.
-
Complete Alert System: Receive instant sound notifications directly in MT5.
