Adaptive Confluence Scanner (ACS)
Advanced Multi-Filter Confluence Indicator for MetaTrader 5
Version 1.00 | Compatible: MT5 Build 3390+ | All Symbols & Timeframes
Adaptive Confluence Scanner (ACS) is a professional-grade indicator that combines four independent technical filters into a single Confluence Score (0–100). A signal arrow appears on the chart only when all conditions align above the minimum threshold, dramatically reducing false signals and noise. Designed for XAUUSD (Gold) but works on any symbol and timeframe.
ACS is not a black-box system. Every component of the score is visible in the real-time dashboard, so you always know exactly why a signal was generated.
The indicator calculates a total score out of 100 by combining four weighted filters:
| Filter | Weight / Description |
| Heikin Ashi (HA) | 35 pts — Multi-timeframe trend direction confirmation. Supports up to 4 configurable timeframes. |
| ADX | 25 pts — Trend strength validation. Filters out choppy/sideways markets. |
| RSI | 20 pts — Momentum confirmation. Confirms entry timing within the trend. |
| ATR | 20 pts — Volatility quality gate. Ensures the candle has sufficient range to be tradable. |
When Score >= Minimum (default 75): standard BUY/SELL signal arrow.
When Score >= Strong threshold (default 88): STRONG BUY/SELL signal with a larger star marker.
On-Chart Signal Labels
Each signal arrow is accompanied by a clean colored badge showing the direction and score value (e.g., BUY 82 or ** BUY 94 **). Labels use ATR-based positioning to remain visible at the correct distance from the candle on any instrument — including XAUUSD where standard point-based offsets are too small.
Power Candle Marker
A dot marker highlights candles where both body ratio and ATR size exceed configurable thresholds — identifying momentum candles that often precede strong moves.
Dark Mode Chart Styling
ACS automatically applies a professional dark color scheme to the chart on load and restores the original settings on removal. The grid is removed for a cleaner view.
Real-Time Dashboard Panel
-
Confluence Score with color-coded progress bar (green / amber / red)
-
Per-filter mini progress bars (HA, ADX, RSI, ATR) — each color-coded individually

Economic News Calendar
Built-in news calendar reads upcoming USD and EUR events directly from the broker's MT5 calendar — no external data feed or WebRequest required. Displays the next 1 to 3 events with time remaining, impact level (HIGH / MED), and event name. An audible/popup/push warning is triggered a configurable number of minutes before high-impact events.
Signal Cooldown
A minimum bar gap between signals (default 5 bars) prevents clusters of arrows during choppy price action — keeping the chart clean and actionable.
Full Alert System
Popup, sound, email, and push notifications are available for both trading signals and pre-news warnings. All alerts fire on bar close — not on every tick — to avoid false triggers.
