Sequential Scanner MT4 is a panel indicator for MetaTrader 4 that runs the 9-13 sequential count on many symbols and timeframes at once. Each cell shows a fresh 9 or 13, a count one bar from completing, or a countdown in progress. Otherwise it shows the latest 9 or 13 and how many bars ago it came.
It counts closed bars only. A cell never changes after its bar has closed. It places no trades.
Standalone: Everything is built in. You do not need to buy or install any other product named on this page.
MetaTrader 4 edition: the same count, panel, setup levels, inputs, alerts and buffers as the MetaTrader 5 version. The columns can use the nine MetaTrader 4 timeframes (M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, D1, W1, MN1).
Quick start
- Attach it to any chart. By default it scans your Market Watch symbols on H1, H4, D1 and W1.
- To scan your own list, set Which symbols to your list and fill in My list. Change Timeframes if you want others.
- Choose which alerts to receive (9 and 13 are on; 8 and 12 are off) and the delivery: pop-up, sound, push or e-mail.
- Click a cell to open that symbol and timeframe.
What it does
- Panel: symbols (Market Watch or your list) by timeframes (H1, H4, D1 and W1 by default, any you choose).
- Cells: "B13 1" or "S9p 0" is a fresh 13 or 9 (p = perfected). "B8" or "S cd12" is a setup at 8 or a countdown at 12. "B cd7" is a countdown in progress. Otherwise the cell shows the latest 9 or 13 with its age. The tooltip gives the full state.
- Alerts at a 9 and a 13, and optionally one bar before (setup at 8, countdown at 12). Delivery is pop-up, sound, push or e-mail. Alerts of the same second come as one message.
- Levels on its own chart: the high of the latest buy setup and the low of the latest sell setup. They are drawn as steps from the bar each setup completed.
- Click a cell to open that symbol and timeframe, with your template if you set one.
The rules it uses
- Setup: 9 closes in a row below (buy) or above (sell) the close 4 bars earlier. A bar on the other side starts it. It is perfected when bar 8 or 9 goes beyond bars 6 and 7.
- Countdown from the 9: closes at or below the low (buy) or at or above the high (sell) 2 bars earlier. The bars need not be in a row. The 13 must also reach the close of countdown bar 8, otherwise it is deferred.
- A countdown stops on the opposite setup or a close beyond its setup's level; a new setup in the same direction restarts it.
- The same rules and code as the free Sequential Countdown MT4, so the panel and the chart always agree.

How it was checked
- The count is the one in the free Sequential Countdown MT4. In the MetaTrader 4 Strategy Tester it matched an independent Python calculation on every bar. It also passed an every-tick repaint test (EURUSD H1, 2026, 8,417,316 ticks, 0 changed marks).
- The scanner: in the MetaTrader 4 Strategy Tester, 1,091,786 bar records matched the same Python calculation. Each covers the setup and countdown counts, the 9s and 13s, the setup levels and the ages of the latest 9 and 13. They came from the engine, the loader and a run through the test period: 108 files, EURUSD, GBPJPY, XAUUSD and BTCUSD on M15, H1, H4 and D1, two settings. Cells used only closed bars, and after start-up the panel counts matched on all 8,718,672 checks.
Questions
- Does it repaint? No. Every count is made on closed bars and never changed afterwards.
- Why might my count differ from another tool? The 9-13 count has variants (how the countdown is cancelled or restarted, how 13 qualifies). This one is described above.
- Is there a free version? Yes. Sequential Countdown MT4 shows the full count on one chart, with alerts on 9 and 13.

Trading involves risk. The scanner counts bars; it does not tell you to buy or sell.
