- •FBFX Score of 72/100 (low risk profile)
- •Repaint behavior not independently tested
- •Runs on MT5
- •Best suited to Any (multi-timeframe scanner)
Trend Screener Pro is a closed-source MT5 dashboard that scores trend direction and strength across many symbols and timeframes at once, and prints related markers on the chart.
It is usually presented as a signal system with a scanner attached. The more useful way round is the reverse: the scanner is the part that does work you cannot easily do by hand, while the entry signals compete with a method you should already have. Its output is a ranked view of where to look, not a verdict on what to trade.

When it misleads you
| Regime | Detect with | Signal quality | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|
| Broad directional market | Many symbols sharing a currency flagged trending in the same direction | Strong as triage. This is exactly the pattern a multi-symbol scan surfaces faster than manual charting. | Take the two or three cleanest symbols onto their own charts and analyse them properly. |
| Mixed or rotating market | Trending and ranging flags churning between scans on the same symbols | Low. Classification near the boundary flips on small price changes. | Trust the ranging flags over the trending ones and reduce activity rather than hunting for a signal. |
| Higher-timeframe bar still forming | An H4 or daily cell changing while the chart timeframe is much lower | Provisional by construction, not wrong and not a repaint. | Wait for the higher-timeframe bar to close before treating that cell as settled. |
| Wide spread conditions | The built-in spread scanner showing an unusual reading against the symbol's norm | Irrelevant. Trend quality does not matter if the entry cost consumes the edge. | Drop the symbol from consideration for that session regardless of how strong its trend score is. |
Three ways to actually use it
A dashboard advertising thirteen tools invites a specific error: treating agreement between them as accumulating evidence. It usually is not. Trend lines, momentum dots and confirmation arrows all read the same price series through related logic, so when three of them turn green together, that is mostly one signal displayed three ways. Genuine confirmation requires inputs that can disagree, which means different information, not different presentations of the same information. Volume, positioning, a correlated instrument or an economic release can all contradict a price-derived trend read. A second price-derived trend read mostly cannot. The practical consequence is that a crowded panel raises your confidence much faster than it raises your accuracy, which is the most expensive gap in retail trading. Pick two outputs that can genuinely disagree with each other and ignore the rest of the panel.
What it is for
Trend Screener Pro is sold by STE S.S.COMPANY, listed since March 2020, with version 22.20 dated November 2024. It currently sells for 65 USD against a stated regular price of 199 USD, a discount framing that has been part of the listing for a long time and is better read as the price than as an offer about to expire.
The product is a dashboard. It reads many symbols across many timeframes and reports, in one movable panel, which of them are trending and which are ranging, alongside a currency strength meter, a spread scanner and a set of on-chart markers. Bundled with it are thirteen or so named tools: trend lines, reversal dots, momentum dots, confirmation arrows, a trending pairs finder, a ranging pairs finder and so on.
The distinction that matters when deciding whether to buy is between the scanner and the signals. The scanner answers a question that is genuinely tedious by hand, which is where to look this morning across thirty symbols. The signals answer a question you should be answering with your own method. Bought as the former it is a reasonable tool at this price. Bought as the latter it becomes a very busy way to confirm whatever you already believed.
Thirteen tools is a cost as well as a feature
Listings count tools as value. It is worth seeing the other side of that arithmetic.
Every additional output on a panel is another thing that can agree with a trade you already want. With two indicators there are limited ways to find support for a bad idea. With a dozen, some subset is almost always pointing the right way, and the honest discipline of being told no quietly disappears. Worse, the tools here are not independent of one another: trend lines, momentum dots and confirmation arrows are all reading the same price series through related logic, so three of them agreeing is not three pieces of evidence. It is closer to one, repeated.
The practical fix is to choose two outputs before you open the panel for the first time, write down what each is allowed to tell you, and treat the other eleven as decoration. That single decision is the difference between a scanner that saves an hour and a dashboard that talks you into trades.
Fuzzy logic, as a label
The listing attributes the trend detection to fuzzy logic and a named proprietary technology. Fuzzy logic is a real technique, and it is a sensible one for this job: it replaces hard yes-or-no thresholds with degrees of membership, so a market can be described as mostly trending rather than forced into a binary at an arbitrary cutoff.
But the name alone tells you nothing about this implementation. Fuzzy logic describes a family of methods, not a specific calculation, and no membership functions, inputs or rule sets are published here. Treat it as a description of the style of answer the panel gives, with strength scores rather than a binary flag, and not as evidence that the answer is well constructed.
How to use Trend Screener Pro
- Use it to shorten the list, not to pick the trade. Run the scan, take the handful of symbols it flags as trending, and then analyse those the way you normally would on their own charts.
- Choose two outputs and ignore the rest. Decide in advance which two you trust and what each is permitted to decide. Do this before you have money on a chart.
- Check the spread scanner before you act on any flagged symbol. A strong trend on an instrument whose spread eats a third of your intended risk is not an opportunity.
- Read higher-timeframe cells as provisional. An H4 or daily cell is reporting a bar that is still forming, so it can change before that bar closes. See below.
- Verify the symbol list you are scanning. A scanner is only as useful as the watchlist behind it, and a default list full of symbols you never trade produces confident answers to questions you never asked.
- Do not run it as your only chart. The dashboard summarises price. It does not show you the structure that makes a trade worth taking.
Does Trend Screener Pro repaint?
The listing states the indicator is 100 percent non-repainting, with signals that remain stable after candle close. The source is closed, so there is no calculation to inspect and no way to establish that independently, which is why our stats grid records the repaint status as untested rather than adopting the seller's answer.
There is, however, a structural point worth understanding before you conclude anything from what you see on the panel, because a multi-timeframe dashboard produces changing cells for a reason that has nothing to do with repainting.
When you view an H4 column while trading an M15 chart, that cell reports the current H4 bar. That bar will not close for up to four hours. Until it does, its high, low and close are provisional, so any value computed from it is provisional too, and the cell can legitimately change several times while the M15 chart in front of you closes sixteen candles. Nothing was rewritten. The bar simply had not finished. This is inherent to every multi-timeframe display ever built, including one whose per-bar maths never repaints, and it is the single most common reason traders accuse a scanner of repainting.
The test that distinguishes the two is about closed bars only:
- Record the dashboard state for several symbols, and screenshot the on-chart markers.
- Wait for the higher-timeframe bars in question to close.
- Force a full recalculation: switch timeframe away and back, then restart the terminal.
- Compare only the cells and markers whose bars had already closed at the time of the first screenshot.
A closed-bar cell or marker that differs after a restart is a repaint. A changing cell on a bar that had not yet closed is not, and no amount of complaining will make it otherwise.
Where it fits
This is a tool for someone who watches more symbols than they can chart by hand and wants a first pass that tells them where to spend their attention. At 65 USD, judged as a scanner and a currency strength meter, that is fair value. Judged as the thirteen-tool trading system the listing describes, it asks you to trust a closed calculation with an appealing name attached, across more outputs than any human discipline can hold at once.
Most indicators answer a question about one chart. This one answers a question about a list, and that is the right way to compare it. Waddah Attar Explosion tells you whether the move in front of you has force behind it, for free, with a formula you can read. Trend Screener Pro tells you which of thirty symbols is worth putting in front of you in the first place, for 65 USD, with a calculation you cannot read. They are complements rather than competitors: the scanner narrows the field, and a tool whose maths you can verify judges what you find there. What you should not do is buy the scanner expecting it to replace the second step.

Because the bar they describe has not closed. An H4 cell viewed from an M15 chart is reporting an H4 candle that may have hours left to run, so its value is provisional and can change repeatedly until that candle completes. This is normal for every multi-timeframe display and is not the same thing as a closed-bar value being rewritten.
The listing has carried a limited-time framing against a 199 USD regular price across an extended period. Treat 65 USD as the price rather than as a saving you need to act quickly to capture, and judge the tool on whether it is worth 65 USD to you.
No. The author recommends pairing the two, but the scanner's core function of narrowing a watchlist works on its own. Get value from the first purchase before adding a second, particularly since more overlapping outputs is the main risk this product already carries.
It is a family of techniques that replaces hard thresholds with degrees of membership, so a market can be scored as partly trending rather than forced into a yes or no at an arbitrary cutoff. That suits trend classification well, but the label alone does not describe this particular implementation, and no membership functions or rule sets are published.
