ACB Signal Scanner APEX
Professional Price Action Scanner — Based on the Stacey Burke ACB Trading Methodology
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
OVERVIEW
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The ACB Signal Scanner APEX is a professional-grade multi-symbol price action scanner built entirely around the trading principles taught by Stacey Burke in his ACB Trading Manual. It is designed to identify high-probability reversal and continuation setups across forex pairs, indices, and commodities — all from a single, always-visible dashboard on your MT4 or MT5 chart.
Rather than requiring traders to manually check each instrument one by one, this scanner monitors up to 150 symbols simultaneously, evaluates each against the full Burke methodology framework, and ranks every valid signal using a transparent 13-point scoring system — so you always know which setups deserve your attention and which do not.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Traders who have studied or are studying the Stacey Burke ACB methodology and want a professional tool that does the scanning work for them — surfacing only setups that meet Burke's criteria so they can focus on execution rather than chart-flipping.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
METHODOLOGY FOUNDATION
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Every detection rule, filter, and scoring weight in this scanner is derived directly from the Stacey Burke ACB Trading Manual. The core concept is that price action moves in predictable cycles within a calendar month, and the highest-probability trade setups occur when a recognised pattern fires at a meaningful price extreme during the Backside of the monthly cycle (trading weeks 3–4).
The scanner codifies Burke's three primary filters — signal type, price extreme, and timing context — into a single composite score for each detected setup. Nothing is hidden or arbitrary; every point in the score is explained and visible.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
DETECTED SIGNAL TYPES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
FRD / FGD
First Red Day or First Green Day after 3+ consecutive closes in one direction.
The core exhaustion signal in the Burke methodology.
⬡ CHAIN (Burke's #1 Setup)
FRD or FGD occurring precisely at a meaningful price extreme (HCOM, LCOM, HOW, HOD etc.).
Burke's highest-conviction trade — the EA$Y MONEY setup.
◈ 1-2-3 Coil
Two consecutive closes in direction followed by an Inside Day compression at an extreme.
Burke manual p.40–42 sideways coil pattern.
3HC / 3LC
Three Higher Closes or Three Lower Closes with momentum quality.
Pre-cursor to FRD / FGD chain completion.
Inside Day
Quality inside day (≥25% of parent range). Compressed range indicating potential energy build-up.
CIB / wCIB
Close In Breakout above/below prior day high or low.
Weekly CIB uses the prior full week range.
Outside Day (Day0)
Range expansion bar taking out both sides of the prior day. Direction assigned by nearest extreme.
Live Breakout
Real-time intraday sweep of prior day high or low with M5 pullback confirmation.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
13-POINT SCORING SYSTEM
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Every signal is scored across four independent components:
• Extreme Level max 5 pts HCOM/LCOM=5 HCOW/LCOW=4 HOM/LOM=3 HOW/LOW=2 H3D/L3D=1
• Signal Type max 3 pts Chain=3 | 1-2-3/FRD/FGD/wCIB=2 | CIB/3HC/3LC=1
• Context max 4 pts Backside=+2 | Aligned=+1 | FDTM=+1 | Wednesday=+1
• EMA Coil Bonus +1 (uncapped)
STAR TIERS:
★★★★★ ELITE — Score 11–13 — Chain signal at extreme on the Backside
★★★★ PRIME — Score 8–10 — Strong signal with weekly/monthly extreme
★★★ STRONG — Score 5–7 — Qualified signal with context support
★★ WATCH — Score 3–4 — Partial context, monitor for confluence
★ ALERT — Score 1–2 — Early-stage signal, awareness only

SUITABLE FOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This scanner is purpose-built for price action traders who follow or are learning the Stacey Burke ACB methodology. It is equally useful for intermediate traders who understand concepts such as monthly extremes, timing cycles, and exhaustion patterns — and who want a structured, objective tool to surface only the setups worth their time.
It is not a black-box system. Every signal, score, and flag is explained in full — in the panel tooltips, the built-in legend, and the exported CSV — so traders always understand exactly why a setup was flagged.
DISCLAIMER: This tool is a scanner and analytical aid. It does not place trades automatically and does not constitute financial advice. All trading decisions remain the sole responsibility of the user.
