Best pairsMulti-currency scanner: forex, indices, metals and cryptoAny liquid forex pair; commonly run on majors like EUR/USD and GBP/USD
Trend Screener Pro
+ Scans many symbols and timeframes from one movable dashboard, which is genuine time saved on a watchlist of any size
+ A free demo runs in the strategy tester, so the dashboard and its signals can be examined before paying
+ Bundles a trend-based currency strength meter and a spread scanner that would otherwise be separate purchases
+ Listed since March 2020 with a long public comment thread and a version shipped as recently as November 2024
- Thirteen overlapping tools on one panel make after-the-fact agreement easy to find and a written rule hard to keep
- The calculation is closed and the fuzzy-logic description is a label rather than a specification, so nothing about the signal can be checked
- Higher-timeframe cells necessarily reflect a bar that has not closed yet, which is the behaviour most often mistaken for repainting
Waddah Attar Explosion
+ Free to download, with the original version published in the public MQL5 Code Base since 2007
+ Calculation is public, so repaint behaviour can be settled by inspecting the formula rather than trusting a vendor claim
+ Combines two well-understood tools, MACD and Bollinger Bands, into one visual momentum-and-volatility read
+ Fully adjustable sensitivity, dead zone, and trend power inputs for tuning signal frequency
- Being MACD-derived, it inherits the lag of any moving-average-based calculation and will not call a move before it starts
- The dead zone is an absolute pip threshold, so a setting tuned on one instrument behaves completely differently on another
- Widely copied and re-hosted across download sites, so the build you download may differ from the original published code
