Hi

can you please Share Scanner

Hello! Is it normal that  the Scanner show '0' in all pairs?

Ok done.

https://abiroid.com/download/8074/?version=1-2  <---This link send to other page.

Now I can see the link is in the part of: 

Free Scanner:

• Abiroid-Bollinger-Breakout-Scanner_v1.2.zip - 1.2

Right?

Ya,

I replied to PM. It's this download:

https://abiroid.com/download/8074/?version=1-2

You can use the link above to directly get the scanner file.

If you bought the product from mql5 site, then everything will go to Markets folder:

And you can update Arrows ex4, by going to your MT4 Market tab -> Purchased section.

And click on Update. Then copy scanner file in Markets folder too.

If you bought from my site, then copy both ex4 directly to MQL4/Indicators folder.

You have an error with Download Page of the Scanner. Check the Link coz it redirects to you principal domain abiroad.com

• Abiroid-Bollinger-Breakout-Scanner_v1.2.zip - 1.2

 Redirects to your principal domain abiroid.com

hi,

I think Metatrader renames links: "https://www.mql5.com/go?link=https://abiroid.com/download/8074/?version=1-2"

So, maybe download isn't working. Here's the attached file just in case.

In future, if I make changes to arrows, it would be best to get scanner directly from product page:

Nice! its working now, I extracted it in Market folder. 

Thanks!

That's awesome :)

If you are getting a lot of None. Your settings might be very restrictive.

Default settings are a bit restrictive, beacuse they use a higher bollinger slope: 50,30

To find the largest breakouts. But if you are scalping, then you can use lower slope values also like: 30, 20.

Also, you can resize your scanner a bit, by changing Row Width to a negative number. Like -30 or -50

Or maybe change Text Size. Might allow whole thing to fit on chart. 

Here are some common dash settings that might help:

All scalper common settings are here:

Hi,

I'm attaching a set file for trying out for scalping. It works well for forex pair for ongoing open markets. Attached 1_BB_Scanner.set

When pairs are not in good swings, and instead it is a tight ranging market, then percentages will be low. 

So, low percentage will also happen during different times of day, depending on pair low volatility.

This works best during good volatility periods. I would suggest that you load the Arrows indicator first, and fine tune settings based on Symbols you trade.

Then look at the logs to see why signals are skipped.

Default settings can be restrictive. To give rare but good signals. E.g, EURUSD will work better during London Open period etc.

Settings:

By default it keeps Long Squeeze min bars 30. So it will look for a long BB Squeeze and then a breakout.

So, logs will show this as reason for skipping:

Another reason for no signals could be BB Squeeze and BB Slope both turned on. Those will make it miss a lot of signals.

And will only give a signal during very strong volatility right after a tight squeeze.

So, for scalping, you can also turn that off.

Best way to fine tune is to look at debug text messages to see which signals you think are great, but missed. Then lower the slope, or turn off checks accordingly:

And check out the blog post for Debug Messages on why signals are skipped.

I'll PM you more settings, please let me know which timeframes you prefer.

And for scalping, also try Max Past bars 2000 or maybe 2500 etc. Default is 5000 I think.
So, for scalping you might get more recent percentages only.

And best setup would be something like this.
When price has gone in a tight squeeze, then sudden breakout in direction of NRTR trend.
Also, best to study a chart manually first. To make sure price hasn't already gone too far.

This is GBPUSD right now. Because a News event is going on. So be extra careful around those. As price won't always follow the normal breakout zones.

So, if we place close stop loss a little under the BB last band. And keep TP at least 2-3 times SL, then even if such price jumps happen, we won't lose that much. And profits will always be more than losses. The Sl/TP levels in the indicator are for reference only. To get best percentages.
But better StopLoss level will be near strong SR levels. Like these full or half levels:
