FWS Multi Symbol and TF Continuation Scanner

📡 Why Pullback Radar Is Different

Most "scanner" indicators on the market just print arrows when a moving average crosses. That's not a strategy — that's noise.

Pullback Radar implements the discipline that professional continuation traders actually use. It tracks each pair through a precise three-stage pipeline. A pair is only a SIGNAL when all three stages have completed in order — bias formed, retrace happened, momentum returned. That ordering is what filters fake-out arrows from real trade-able setups.

🔬 The Three-Stage Pipeline

⚙️ The Two Signal Modes — PPS & HULL

Each HTFB and LTF slot can be configured independently to use one of two scientifically-tuned bias detection modes:

PPS — Pivot-Point Signal Mode

• Fast MA: 1-bar SMA of typical price (H+L+C)/3
• Slow MA: 3-bar SMA of typical price
• Behaviour: Surgical, near-instant flips. Captures intraday rotation cleanly. Best on M1/M5/M15 LTF slots and on H1/H4 HTFB when you want fast, decisive bias resolution.

HULL — Smoothed EMA Mode

• Fast MA: 3-bar EMA of median price (H+L)/2
• Slow MA: 9-bar EMA of median price
• Behaviour: Smoother, more conservative. Filters whipsaws. Best on noisier instruments (gold, indices, crypto) and on higher TFs (D1/H4) where you want only conviction-level shifts to register.

You can mix and match: e.g. HTFB1 = H4 PPS, HTFB2 = H1 HULL — gives you the smoothness of HULL on the higher TF and the precision of PPS on the lower TF. This is exactly the kind of multi-mode configuration discretionary traders use intuitively but few indicators expose.

🎯 The Bias Rule (transparent and auditable)

For each slot at bar 0: price = (High + Low + Close) / 3 if maFast > maSlow AND price >= maFast → BULLISH if maFast < maSlow AND price <= maFast → BEARISH else → NEUTRAL

The slot's last-known state is sticky: NEUTRAL never resets the bias, only a confirmed flip to the opposite direction does. This is critical — it stops the bias from "blinking" between BULL and NEUTRAL on every retrace bar, which is the bug that wrecks most amateur scanners.

🧠 What Makes The Combined Architecture Special

HTFs alone tell you direction but not timing. LTFs alone tell you timing but not direction. Combining them via the pullback-then-signal sequence filters out:

• ❌ Fake breakouts — the HTFB never confirmed → no signal
• ❌ Counter-trend trades — without the bias filter, you'd be buying tops and selling bottoms
• ❌ Mid-trend FOMO entries — the radar enforces "must have pulled back first" → no chasing
• ❌ Bias-flip noise — sticky lastKnownState ignores temporary NEUTRAL states

What's left is the high-quality continuation setup: bias confirmed, retrace consumed, momentum returning. The setup professional traders wait all morning for.

📋 Default Configuration (out-of-the-box)

Or click "Scan All Market Watch" to monitor every symbol in your terminal.

💎 Compact On-Chart Panel

• Wide multi-column grid: PAIR · BIAS · HTFB slot dots · PULLBACK dots · SIGNAL dots · STATUS · AGE
• Live stats ribbon: SCANNING / BIAS-only / PULLBACKS / SIGNALS
• Rows colour-tinted by stage: yellow=bias, purple=pullback, green/red=signal
• ★ marker on every active SIGNAL row — sorted to the top automatically
• Click any pair name to open that symbol's chart in a new MT5 window
• Drag-to-move; minimise button

🌐 Live Web Dashboard

One button on the panel opens a beautifully-rendered HTML dashboard in your browser. Auto-refreshes every 5 seconds. Shows:

• 4 big stat cards (scanning / bias / pullbacks / signals)
• Full sortable table of every tracked pair with HTFB slot indicators, pullback dot patterns, signal alignment dots, and timestamps
• Same purple-grid theme as the rest of the Forex Weather Station suite
• Works offline — just a local HTML file written next to your MQL5 sandbox

🔔 Three-Tier Alert System

• A1 — Bias alert — fires once per pair when a fresh HTFB bias forms
• A2 — Pullback alert — fires once per cycle when all LTFs go opposite
• A3 — Signal alert — fires once per cycle when the entry zone activates (with sound)

Each tier independently configurable for popup, email, push notification (mobile MT5), and sound playback.

💾 State Persistence — Survives Restarts

Most multi-symbol indicators reset on every restart, so you lose your live signal cycle. Pullback Radar saves its earned state to a binary file every 5 minutes and on shutdown — when you re-attach, your bias / pullback / signal flags resume exactly where they left off. No waiting for fresh setups to form again.

🕰️ Historical Backfill

On first attach the radar walks back through bar history to find the TRUE formation time of each bias / pullback / signal — not the indicator-load time. Timestamps shown in the AGE column are real and meaningful from the very first second.

🛠️ Technical Specs

• Pure indicator (no chart object spam, no DLLs, no broker dependencies)
• Up to 30 symbols simultaneously (safety cap; configurable)
• Refresh interval: 5 seconds (configurable)

⚠️ Important

This is a SCANNER and SIGNAL indicator — not an automated trading robot. It does NOT place orders. It identifies the highest-probability continuation setups across your watchlist; you make the entry decision. Use with proper risk management.
