by the way, I made an heiken ashi version of your MTF rsi dashboard. it was inspired by you.

I did as well, with the same indicator. However, the problem is that indicator is giving you the current Heikin Ashi (HA) candle, not the previous one. So if you make a trade decision based on the current candle, it could change by the end of the TF and you will regret your decision. HA gives you the overall direction and price usually follows in that direction, mathematically speaking. But you have to go by the previous HA candle, NOT current!

I'll explain my rationale behind HA. I've attached EURUSD, Daily TF for 2021. If you were to trade in the direction of the previous HA candle, you would be wrong 54 times (days when the HA candle changed color) out of 365 days. That means you would've been right 85% of the year (54/365=.147; 1 - .147 =.853). So I thought to myself, what if I look at the entire basket of currencies the same way, it should increase my odds statistically. So now I know where to look specifically for trade setups. Next, you just need to confirm entries with whatever setup you are comfortable with. Volatility is key. You want to make sure there is still gas in the tank on the currency pair, otherwise you may have a lot of drawdown.

The HA setup is perfect for anyone because it reveals where the trade setups are. So no matter your strategy, it can increase your odds. One note I would recommend, enter on a timeframe below the HA TF you select as your directional bias (DB). For instance, I leave my HA setup on the Daily TF (DB) and enter on the 4HR. If you trade the 1 hour, have the HA on the 4hr TF for your directional bias. Hope this helps!

P.S. Excellent job, by the way on the HA setup. It's a lot of work, ins't it? But it's a part of the learning process.

It is a lot of work, thank you very very much. You made it super easier with your RSI setup, I literally had to just copy your steps and follow you with little changes here and there, but you laid the blueprint for everything and for that I'll be forever grateful.

I totally understand you and you're absolutely right. But I feel there is an easy fix for that. I trade only continuations in the direction of a higher timeframe, so my directional bias is the daily and my entry is on1hr. To solve the heiken ashi problem why not only check for daily bias shortly before the end of the day, say 1hr or 30mins, there's no way you would get a change by that time, the market would be stable and you can see everything clearly going into the next day.

I do my daily analysis shortly before market close, get a watchlist, then follow that watchlist throughout the day with my entry system on my entry timeframe.

have you considered this approach?

That is definitely a work around, but I like to see a reference point continuously. Here is another indicator I found as a backup, if the one I use ever went out. The problem is the indicators move every time you rescale the screen. The indicators I currently use automatically rescale properly with the text adjusting as well. I wish Mr. Tools or another coder could correct that problem, I would use it instead because the names appear within the indicator. But it's an EX file. Hope this helps!

P.S. You can move the indicator around by the upper right corner. But it doesn't matter because if you resize the screen, they all move. Also, this indicator doesn't limit you to 30 either. You can do a hundred or whatever...

Description by author :

The Multi Forex Scanner indicator is a MT4 indicator that I developed because I wanted to save time finding good pairs to trade.

It shows the list of currencies available in the Market Watch window. If you wish to hide any currency, just hide it in the Market Watch.

I hope it helps you.

Congratulations for the work!!! I think it's great who knows how to program! My entry trade system is based on 3 indicators, existing and accelerating ADX, crossing the average 3 with 8 and Bollinger Bands, which in this case I use the BB Trend Flat indicator. Could you make me a dasboard with these 3 indicators, with all the time frames and with alerts with the 3 in the same direction? If yes, how much would you charge me? Thank you in advance and congratulations again!!!
