Scanning Multiple Markets for Pivot Crosses and Rejections

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This scanner monitors multiple symbols for price interactions with pivot levels and sends alerts when price crosses a level, approaches it within a chosen distance, or bounces away from it. It supports standard floor pivots, Fibonacci pivots, Woodie pivots, and Camarilla pivots, with daily, weekly, and monthly time frames. A Bollinger Bands filter can also be enabled for alerts.

The listed controls include popup and mobile notifications, a delay between repeated alerts, symbol prefixes and suffixes, and selection of which pivot levels trigger alerts. Symbols must be available in the platform’s Market Watch when that scanning mode is used, and the document notes that missing symbols or incorrect prefix and suffix settings can cause errors. The scanner describes an alerting workflow rather than a complete trading strategy: it gives no entry management, exit rules, backtest, or evidence that pivot interactions predict profitable trades. Its alerts identify conditions for trader review, not validated trade recommendations.
