The FXTT MT5 Forex Scanner gives you a fast, single-screen market overview for MetaTrader 5. Instead of switching across many charts, you can monitor multiple symbols at once and spot momentum, trend strength, and overbought or oversold conditions in seconds.
This free indicator reads symbols from your Market Watch or from your own custom symbol list, then displays key data in a compact dashboard directly on your chart. At a glance, you can track RSI, Stochastic, ADX, ATR percentage, Volume percentage, Pivot context, moving average direction, and MA-cross status across your selected symbols. Refresh is timer-based, which keeps the panel responsive while limiting unnecessary resource usage.
A common workflow is to keep this scanner open on a dedicated chart while trading from your normal execution charts. The scanner helps you shortlist pairs with active conditions first; then you perform your deeper entry validation on the selected symbols. This approach saves time and helps maintain consistency when scanning broad watchlists.
This scanner is ideal for discretionary traders who monitor many symbols, for intraday traders who need quick context before execution, and for swing traders who want a structured top-down shortlist process. Treat scanner output as a filter, not an automatic entry trigger β entries still benefit from your normal confirmation process, market session context, and risk controls.
The FXTT MT5 Forex Scanner is completely free and open source. You can review the implementation details, follow updates, and better understand how the indicator computes and presents each signal block on the public GitHub repository.
