Strategy Logic
Synthetics Pro Scanner combines 4H market direction with 15M retracement confirmation. The focus is market continuation, not reversal chasing.
4H displacement: The EA looks for a large candle compared with ATR.
4H FVG: The displacement must leave a fair value gap.
15M FVG: The lower-timeframe FVG must sit inside the 4H FVG.
Turtle soup: Price must sweep into the FVG and reject the retracement.
Continuation close: A 15M candle must close back in the original 4H direction.
For a bullish model, price first makes a strong bullish 4H move, leaves an FVG, then retraces
with an opposing candle into the gap. The EA waits for 15M liquidity sweep and rejection before
sending a buy signal. The bearish model is the same logic in reverse.
Where Signals Appear
By default, the EA is set to signal-only mode. When all conditions are met, signals appear in:
MT5 popup alerts, if popup alerts are enabled.
Toolbox → Experts, where the EA prints the signal details.
Toolbox → Journal, where MT5 activity may also be recorded.
Phone push notifications, only after MetaQuotes ID is configured and push notifications are enabled.
Volatility 50 (1s) Index BUY signal | Entry | SL | TP | RR 1:3

Risk And Trade Management
