You know exactly what your indicator should show. Writing it in MQL5 is where ideas get stuck.
This film shows the whole way from the idea to the finished MetaTrader 5 tool in 90 seconds:
You describe your idea in your own words, answer a few questions and see a prototype in your browser. When it fits, we build it, compile it and run it in the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester on two real brokers. Before you download the .ex5 file, you see the chart image from that check.
Clarification and three prototype rounds are free: https://buildyourtools.net/

🛠 Built exactly as the prototype showed it
The first customer projects on BuildYourTools are underway. On Sunday we delivered one of them: a scanner a trader shaped round by round in the prototype.
What it does:
Reads FX Power, IX Power and FX Trend together on every candle close, across all forex pairs and gold (XAUUSD)
Lists every current setup in one sortable panel, graded A or B
Marks where each setup starts and ends on the chart, with risk and result in pips
Keeps statistics of past setups for every pair and timeframe
That is what made it demanding: three indicators, several timeframes and every pair, read at the same time and brought together in one view. On the left is the prototype the trader approved, on the right the delivered scanner on the chart. Same panel, same columns, same grading.
He agreed to let us show it here. We wish him every success with it.

393A full Market Watch is a long list. Mine has 78 symbols, and with my filters set, one is left: the setup worth a look. You asked me for strong candles next to the extreme ones. So I built that filter, and a few more around it.
If you own or rent the scanner, 2.3 is a free update in the MQL5 Market. New to it? Have a look.

🛠 Indicators from different publishers, united in one tool
Many of you run indicators from other MQL5 publishers next to ours. Each shows its own part of the picture. Putting it together still happens in your head, chart by chart.
On BuildYourTools you bring them together in one tool. What it becomes is up to you:
A scanner that checks them on every candle close across your watchlist and shows where your setup stands
A confirmed arrow that only counts when another publisher's trend view agrees on the higher timeframes
A notification the moment zones from one indicator and signals from another match your rule
And your own strategy? Have an Expert Advisor built that trades it exactly the way you have it in your head, then check in the Strategy Tester whether it holds up.
Your licences stay yours. Reply here with the indicator you use, and we check whether it can be brought in.
