Big Momentum Screener

Big Momentum Screener is a professional trend-following indicator designed for MetaTrader 5. It detects high-probability breakout setups by combining Bollinger Bands volatility expansion with Price Action logic.

Unlike standard indicators that lag significantly, this tool focuses on the "Squeeze & Release" concept—identifying exactly when the market wakes up from a consolidation phase and starts a new directional move.

How It Works (The Logic Behind)

The indicator analyzes the market in real-time using a 3-step verification process:

1. Volatility Expansion: Detects when the Bollinger Bands tunnel starts to widen ( Width > Previous Width ), signaling an explosion in market volatility.

2. Middle Band Crossover: Confirms the trend direction by checking if the price forcefully crosses the Bollinger Basis line (Middle Band).

3. Candle Strength Filter: Filters out weak signals by ensuring the signal candle has a strong body.

Key Features

• Simple Visual Signals:

  • Blue Arrow: Bullish Momentum (Buy Signal)

  • Red Arrow: Bearish Momentum (Sell Signal)

• Plug & Play: No complex settings required. The strategy is pre-optimized with institutional standard settings (BB 20, 2.0).

• Tunnel Visualization: Automatically plots the Upper and Lower volatility bands to help you see the market structure.

• Performance: Extremely lightweight code, does not slow down your MT5 terminal.

Trading Strategy Guide

• Entry: Enter a trade when a signal arrow appears after the candle closes.

  • Note: Always wait for the candle to close to confirm the signal.

• Stop Loss: Place your SL at the recent swing low (for Buy) or swing high (for Sell), or use the opposite Bollinger Band as a dynamic stop.

• Exit: Take profit when price action shows weakness or hits a major Support/Resistance level.

Recommendations

• Timeframes: Recommended for M15, H1, and H4 for the most reliable trends.

• Assets: Works best on volatile pairs like XAUUSD (Gold), and Major Forex pairs.

• Risk Management: This is a trend-following tool. Avoid trading during low-volume hours or sideways markets where the bands are flat.
